Rory McIlroy dominates the Truist Championship model projections with an 11.2% win probability at +796, backed by the field's best Strokes Gained Total (+2.25) and a stellar course history that includes a win in 2024 and a T7 in 2025. Cameron Young (+1153) and Xander Schauffele (+1246) form a potent second tier, both posting +2.17 SG Total with Schauffele's elite ball-striking (#1 in SG Approach at +1.00) making him a perennial contender at this venue where he's finished 2nd twice. Further down the board, Viktor Hovland at +5168 with a near-20% top-10 probability and Si Woo Kim at +2912 ranking #2 in SG Approach offer compelling value in a 72-player field.
McIlroy Is the Clear Model Alpha
Rory McIlroy's 11.2% model win probability dwarfs the field and his +2.25 SG Total ranks #1 among all 72 competitors. His course history adjustment of +0.170 strokes is the second-best in the field, reflecting a 2024 victory and consistent results at this venue.
Rory McIlroy
Cameron Young Offers Elite Value
At +1153, Cameron Young's 8.0% model win probability represents a massive 7.9% edge over implied odds. His +2.17 SG Total ties Schauffele for second in the field, and his T7 finish here in 2025 suggests growing comfort with the course.
Cameron Young
Schauffele's Ball-Striking Unlocks This Course
Xander Schauffele leads the entire field in SG Approach at +1.00 and has finished 2nd here in both 2023 and 2024. His 7.4% model win probability at +1246 represents significant edge, and his +0.126 course fit score confirms the skillset alignment.
Xander Schauffele
Si Woo Kim's Approach Game Screams Value
Kim ranks #2 in the field in SG Approach at +0.83 and carries a 3.3% model win probability at +2912, offering serious mid-tier value. His consistent course history (T17 in 2025, T16 in 2024) shows reliable performance without the fireworks that attract market attention.
Si Woo Kim
Fitzpatrick Is the Stealth Contender
Matt Fitzpatrick's +2.02 SG Total ranks #4 in the field, yet his +2016 odds imply far less respect than his 4.7% model win probability warrants. He ranks #5 in SG Approach (+0.77), a critical skill at this venue, making him a prime each-way candidate.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Hovland Is the Best Longshot Bet
Viktor Hovland at +5168 posts a 19.8% top-10 probability — the highest among all longshots — paired with a +1.25 SG Total that ranks well inside the top 15. At roughly 50-1, his profile suggests significant top-10 and top-5 equity for bettors seeking place market value.
Viktor Hovland
Fleetwood's Course History Is Bulletproof
Tommy Fleetwood has finished T4, T13, and T5 in his last three Truist appearances, and his +1.55 SG Total supports a 3.0% model win probability at +3250. His consistency here makes him an ideal top-10 and top-20 play rather than an outright gamble.
Tommy Fleetwood
Adam Scott's Iron Play Defies His Odds
At +3761 and age 44, the market is sleeping on Adam Scott, who ranks #3 in the field in SG Approach (+0.81) and has two T5-or-better finishes in his last three Truist starts. His 2.6% model win probability and +0.088 course fit adjustment make him a compelling veteran play.
Adam Scott
Rickie Fowler's Course Love Affair Continues
Fowler's +0.123 course history adjustment ranks third in the entire field despite modest overall form (+1.03 SG Total). At +5243 with a 19.6% top-10 probability, he's a classic course horse play worth targeting in derivative markets.
Rickie Fowler
Aberg Has Upside but Course Questions Linger
Ludvig Aberg's 4.3% model win probability at +2243 is driven by raw talent (+1.81 SG Total, #5 in field), but his only Truist start produced a T60 finish in 2025. His +0.129 course fit score is encouraging, suggesting the poor result was noise rather than signal, but buyers should temper expectations slightly.

Rory McIlroy
USA - OWGR #2
FAVORITE
The reigning Masters champion is the 2024 Quail Hollow winner with a T7 here in 2025 to back it up. The world #2 leads this field in SG: Total at +2.25 with a course fit adjustment of +0.198 and course history bump of +0.17 — both elite marks. Model gives him an 11.16% win share and 49.7% top-10, comfortably the highest in the field. At +796, he's the rightful favorite and the price is fair, not generous.

Won the Miami Championship last week and added a PLAYERS title in March — that's two wins in his last nine starts, plus a T3 at Augusta sandwiched in between. The +2.17 SG: Total and +0.48 putting mark are both top-tier, and the model rates him at 7.98% to win with a 42.6% top-10. Course history is solid (T7 in '25) and the fit adjustment of +0.118 backs the form. At +1153, he's the most live non-Rory number on the board.

Two runner-up finishes here in 2023 and 2024 plus a T11 last year — nobody in the field outside Rory has a stronger course résumé. The +1.00 SG: Approach leads this entire group, and his 7.43% model win equity at +1246 implies he should be closer to +1100. Recent form backs it: 3rd at PLAYERS, T4 Valspar, T9 Masters, T12 Heritage. This is the cleanest contender bet on the board.

Three wins and a runner-up in his last five starts. Read that again — Zurich, Heritage, Valspar all victories, plus 2nd at PLAYERS and T18 at the Masters. The +2.02 SG: Total and balanced profile (+0.77 approach, +0.38 around green, +0.33 putting) confirm this is the hottest player on the planet not named Rory. Course history is mediocre (T23 best) and fit is only +0.045, which is why he's +2016 instead of +1500 — but you ride heaters in golf, and this is one.

Five straight top-25s including T4 at Heritage, T5 at Valero, T5 at PLAYERS, and T3 at API — the kid is humming. His +0.129 course fit adjustment is the third-highest among contenders despite a thin sample (T60 in his only prior start here). Model gives 4.27% win equity and 30.5% top-10 against a +2243 price, which translates to clear value on top-20 (+50.2% implied vs. market). Bet the placement markets, not the outright.

Quietly stacking results: 3rd at Heritage and T4 at Miami in his last two, plus T7 Valspar and T10 Valero earlier in the swing. The +0.83 SG: Approach is elite and the +1.72 SG: Total slots him 6th in this field. Three straight made cuts here (T17, T16, T43) show he travels well to this venue even if the fit adjustment is neutral (+0.004). At +2912 with a 3.32% model win share, he's a fair outright dart and a strong top-20 play at +49% implied.

Three top-5s here in his last three trips (T4, T13, T5) — this is one of his best venues on tour. The +0.52 SG: Approach and +0.28 putting are solid if unspectacular, but the course history bump explains why the model still gives him 2.99% to win and 26.2% top-10. Recent form has cooled (T23, T52, T33) after a hot February-March, so +3250 feels honest. Better as a top-10 play than an outright.

T4 at Miami last week and 4th at Riviera in February prove the 45-year-old still has weeks in him. The +0.81 SG: Approach is genuinely top-tier in this field, and his +0.088 course fit adjustment ranks among the best non-favorites. Course history of T5 in 2023 plus consistent made cuts (T34, T29) help. The -0.08 putting is the only real concern — at +3761, he's a sensible top-20 dart but the win number is a stretch given the flat-stick.

Runner-up at Pebble, T6 at API, T3 in Houston — the breakthrough win feels overdue, and the +4207 number reflects it. The course fit adjustment of +0.128 is one of the strongest in this tier, and his +1.44 SG Total is balanced across every category (positive OTT, approach, ARG, and putting).

An 11th-ranked player in the world priced at +4368 with a +0.158 course fit adjustment — that's a pricing inefficiency. No course history to lean on, but the +0.57 SG OTT and +0.31 SG Approach combo travels to any venue, and the T6 in Houston plus T24 at the Masters show the level holds up under pressure.

Course history is mixed (T13 in '24, T30 in '25, MC in '23) but the +0.34 SG Approach is trending up and the model gives him a 38.6% top-20 hit rate. At +4591, you're paying value-tier price for a guy with five PGA Tour wins. Top-10 at +387 is the cleanest angle.

Best iron player in this tier by a mile — +0.69 SG Approach paired with +0.38 around the green is a Sunday-contender profile. The T12 at Augusta and T8 at Pebble show the ball-striking is locked in, even if the T53 in Miami last week is a small concern. Only one prior start here (T17 in '25), so course history is thin. At +4846, he's underpriced relative to his ceiling — top-10 at +372 has real value.

Quietly the best ball-striker in this tier: +0.42 OTT, +0.70 approach, +0.28 ARG, and a +1.50 SG Total that ranks with the favorites. T4 here last year and T8 at Heritage two weeks ago confirm the form. The putter (+0.10) is the only thing keeping him from contention week-to-week, but on a course where he's gone T4-T29-T21, the floor is high. +4913 is too long for this resume — top-10 at +384 is the bet.

Runner-up in Houston six weeks ago and the model loves the course fit at +0.159 — second-highest adjustment in this tier. The +0.53 OTT and +0.52 approach numbers show a tee-to-green game that travels, and the T23 here in '25 in his only look is encouraging. Recent form is choppy (MC at Augusta, T55 at Heritage), which is why he's +5086. Top-20 at solid plus-money is the angle, not the outright.

VALUE
The price screams value on name alone, but the course history is a red flag: T43, T24, T54 in three trips. The +0.64 SG Approach is elite and the T13s at PLAYERS and API show the ball-striking is back, but the short game (+0.14 ARG, +0.19 putting) hasn't been good enough to win in over a year. At +5168 he's a fine top-20 dart, but the outright case is weak. Fade the win bet, consider the place.

The course history adjustment of +0.123 is the highest among LONGSHOTS in this batch — T14, T43, T15 across three trips, and the recent form (T9 Miami, T8 Heritage, T9 API) says the 36-year-old is genuinely playing well. SG Total of +1.03 is the lowest in this tier, which is why he's +5243, but everything else points to a top-20 finish. Outright is a lottery ticket; top-20 at the offered number is the smarter play.

World #9 with a Valero Texas Open win on the resume from three weeks ago, and the +0.80 SG Approach is legit top-tier. The issue is everything since: MC at the Masters, T25 Heritage, T14 Miami — solid but not the form of a guy you back at +5325 to win. Course history is fine (T17 in '25, T27 in '23) and the model gives him 19.6% Top 10, which is the play here. Pass on the outright, lean Top 10.

Quietly rounding into form with T8 Heritage and T9 Miami back-to-back, plus a T2 at Riviera in February that nobody's talking about. The course fit adjustment of +0.123 is among the highest in this LONGSHOT batch, and the +0.68 SG Approach pairs well with +0.53 off the tee. Course history is thin (T34 in '24, MC in '23), but at +5888 with a model Top 10 of 18.1%, this is a defensible outright dart.

Best putter in this entire tier at +0.63 SG, and the +1.49 SG Total is the highest number on this page. Recent form is a mixed bag — T2 Valero and 4th at THE PLAYERS sandwich a Masters MC and T42 at Heritage — but world #12 at +5973 with elite short-game numbers (+0.24 ARG) is a fair price. The +0.07 SG Approach is the wart; if the irons show up, he's a live outright.

Eight straight made cuts with five top-30s in that stretch, but zero of those were better than T13 — the definition of a player making money without threatening to win. The putter (+0.55) and short game (+0.24) carry the bag while the irons (+0.16) lag behind elite contenders. At +6073 with a 1.62% model win number, the outright is a pass; the Top 20 ticket at 35.2% implied is where he pays.

Course history is the entire pitch here: T2 in '25, T21 in '24, T14 in '23 — three straight top-25s including a runner-up last year. Problem is the form is wobbling, with T77 at Heritage and T41 at the Masters dragging down a season that peaked at T8 at THE PLAYERS. The +0.92 SG Total is the lowest in this batch and the irons (+0.35) aren't carrying him like they used to. Course fit keeps him interesting, but +6372 is fair, not generous.

Course history adjustment of +0.085 is among the best in the field — T3 in '23, T34 in '24, T11 in '25 — and the T4 at Heritage three weeks ago shows the game is sharp. The +0.47 SG Putting leads this group of bombers and ball-strikers, which is a real edge on a venue he clearly understands. At +6394 with a 17.8% Top 10, the outright is thin but the Top 20 number is the move.

Defending champion. Won this event in '25, finished T8 in '24, and just posted T4 at Miami last week — the form and the fit are both there. The +0.61 SG Approach is the second-best iron number in this tier and pairs with a season that already includes a T2 at Pebble and T8 at THE PLAYERS. World #13 at +6559 is a gift given the title defense angle; this is the best outright value on this page.

Course history adjustment of +0.089 is the highest in this batch, anchored by a T4 here in '24, but the underlying numbers are a mess: +0.02 SG Approach and +0.08 off the tee won't win a Signature Event no matter how well he putts. The T6 in Houston and T12 at the Masters show flashes, but the +0.90 SG Total is the worst number in this tier. At +7391, hard to see a win path — this is a Top 20 flier at best.

Three straight finishes in the T21-T35 range here from 2023-2025 paint him as a guy who shows up but never threatens, and the +7692 price reflects exactly that.

Pass at the number — there are sharper longshots on this board.

The +0.41 SG Approach is the calling card and it's genuinely sneaky-good for a guy listed at +7889, but the course history is a red flag: T34, T29, MC across three starts means this venue has never clicked. Recent form is steady — T18 Miami, T12 Masters, T11 at both Valspar and Bay Hill — without ever producing a real contention week. He's a top-20 play, not a winner. Use him in placement markets and skip the outright.

Won the Houston Open in March and just posted a T8 at Hilton Head — that's a legitimate heater for a guy priced at +7954 with the highest course fit adjustment in this group at +0.135. The 0.62 SG Total undersells where his game actually is right now, and the +0.064 course history bump is backed by a T14 here in '23. Around-the-green at -0.24 is the only concern.

Coming off a T3 at Augusta with +0.54 SG Approach that ranks among the best in this entire field, yet he's the 5th-ranked player in the world available at +8315.

Best ball-striker in this batch with +0.40 SG OTT and +0.62 SG Approach, but the putter (+0.01) and short game (-0.02) are doing nothing to help him convert.

T4 here in his only prior start, won Riviera in February, and the +0.56 SG Putting is elite — that's a hell of a résumé for a guy at +9867. The recent form has cooled (T65, T33, T41 in his last three) which is why the price ballooned, but the underlying skill set and course history both check out.

USA - OWGR #46
VALUE
A 5th at Houston in March headlines a quietly excellent 2026, and the underlying numbers back it up — +0.97 SG Total with balanced contributions across all four categories and a +0.068 course fit adjustment that's one of the better marks in this batch. OWGR #46 with back-to-back top-25s at Miami and Zurich suggests the form is real, not noise. At +9984 the win equity is thin, but the +630 top-10 number is the real value play here.

March winner at Bay Hill, T13 at Players, T16 at Hilton Head — this is a top-25 OWGR player priced like a back-marker at +10139. The +0.47 SG Approach paired with +0.52 SG Putting is a nasty combo for a low-ball course, even if the -0.016 fit adjustment is lukewarm and the course history (T46, 42, T43) is genuinely bad. Fade the win number, hammer the +654 top-10.

World #18 with a T7 at Miami last week and zero missed cuts since January, yet he's the longest price of the trio of top-25 OWGR guys in this batch at +12297. The balanced profile — +0.38 approach, +0.40 putting, +0.18 around the green — travels anywhere, but the -0.07 course fit adjustment is the worst in this group and the history (T51, T24, MC) confirms it. Pass on the outright, consider the +704 top-10 as a hedge.

The +0.141 course fit adjustment is the best in this entire batch, which matters when you're a +12748 longshot with essentially no track record here (one MC in 2023). The driver is the calling card at +0.59 SG OTT, but a -0.18 short game and a WD from Houston six weeks ago are real concerns. T16 at Hilton Head shows a pulse — this is a top-20 dart at +25-1 implied, not an outright play.

VALUE
Three straight top-15s at this event (T11, T13, T8) and the +0.065 course history adjustment is the strongest in this batch by a wide margin. The +0.48 SG Approach is exactly what plays here, but the -0.01 putting and -0.03 short game are why he's +12915 instead of +5000 — Conners simply doesn't make enough putts to win. Top-20 at +26-1 implied is the play; the outright is a trap you've fallen into before.

Runner-up at Zurich two weeks ago and a T10 at Valero before that — this is a Euro making real noise on his first trip through the PGA Tour schedule. The +0.103 course fit adjustment is excellent, but -0.03 SG Approach in a field this strong is a problem, and there's literally zero course history to lean on. At +13661 with no history, this is a small-stakes top-20 swing at +24-1 implied, nothing more.

OWGR has slipped to #75 but the underlying ball-striking (+0.38 approach, +0.22 around the green) still profiles like a top-30 player, and a T6 at Bay Hill in March proves the ceiling is intact. Problem: the course history is genuinely ugly (WD, T52, T56) and the +0.015 fit adjustment doesn't suggest a breakthrough is coming. At +13919 the name carries more weight than the numbers — fade the outright.

Runner-up at Bay Hill in March is the headline, and the +0.56 SG Approach is the best mark in this batch — that's a number that wins golf tournaments. The catch: -0.18 around the green and -0.08 putting mean he needs the irons to carry everything, and a Masters MC plus a T42 at Hilton Head suggest the form has cooled. T11 here in 2025 is encouraging, but at +14428 there are better-priced ball-strikers in this field.

LONGSHOT
A 7th at Hilton Head three weeks ago is the headline finish, and the +0.49 SG Approach backs up the idea that this is real form, not a fluke. The issue at +15167 is the putter (-0.18) and zero course history to lean on, which is why the model has him at just 0.66% to win despite a clean 100% cut number. Fine for a top-20 dart at +1986 to top-5; the outright price is a pass.

The +0.55 SG Putting and +0.34 around-the-green numbers are elite short-game marks, and a T9 at Bay Hill in March proves he can hang at a real venue. Problem is the -0.23 off the tee and -0.038 course fit on a layout that historically rewards length — the wedges have to be perfect to overcome that gap. At +16338 the win equity isn't there, but he's a sneaky top-20 at +24.2% model probability.

Four straight top-25s including a T9 at Miami last week and a T10 at Zurich — the form is undeniable and OWGR #45 reflects it. The +0.80 SG Total and +0.30 approach are legitimate contender-tier marks, and yet he's the 17th choice at +17241 with no course history to dampen enthusiasm or hype it up.

The Puerto Rico Open winner from March is the most interesting unknown in this tier, with a +0.069 course fit adjustment and zero history to weigh him down. Castillo's +0.32 SG OTT is legit and the OWGR has climbed to #86 on the back of that win plus a runner-up at Cognizant. Recent form has cooled (T55-T60-T44), but at +21252 with a 20.3% top-20 number, he's a defensible dart in deep DFS pools.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju
USA - OWGR #111
LONGSHOT
Look at the form line: T5 at THE PLAYERS, T6 in Houston, T14 at Valero — that's three top-15s in a major-strength stretch from a player most casuals can't pronounce. The +0.078 course fit adjustment is the best in this group and the +0.30 SG OTT plus +0.17 putter is a modern combo. Win equity at +21878 is still tiny (0.46%), but the 19.3% top-20 makes him a sharper place-bet than the names above him.

Nick Taylor
USA - OWGR #60
LONGSHOT
T9 at Miami last week is the headline, and the +0.46 SG Approach plus +0.28 around-the-green is the best ball-striking/short-game combo in this tier. The problem: Taylor's course fit grades at -0.063 and his history here (T17-T43-MC) doesn't inspire. Two-time PGA winner with closing chops, but +22456 feels about right rather than generous. Lean pass for outright, fine for top-20 (20.6%).

J.T. Poston
USA - OWGR #80
LONGSHOT
Three missed cuts in his last eight starts — Houston, Bay Hill, Riviera — is a real red flag for a player listed at +23246. The +0.24 SG Approach is solid but the -0.034 course fit and T23-T60-MC history at this venue tells the story. OWGR #80 with a top-10 number of just 8.2%. There are better longshots; this is a fade in outrights and a skip in matchups.

Aldrich Potgieter
USA - OWGR #74
LONGSHOT
The +0.242 course fit adjustment is far and away the best in this tier and it's not close — that's a model screaming about his +0.56 SG OTT and bomber profile. The catch: -0.29 around the green and -0.15 putting drag the SG Total down to a pedestrian +0.14. Coming off T14 Miami and T25 Heritage, with a runner-up effort earlier this season at Riviera. At +23996, he's the live longshot if the putter cooperates for one week.

Matt Wallace
USA - OWGR #69
LONGSHOT
Runner-up at Valero three starts ago is the only data point that matters in this tier, and Wallace has followed it with T55-T30-T23 — steady rather than spectacular. The +0.21 around-the-green and +0.11 putting suggest the short game is in form, and the +0.059 course history adjustment is a small positive. At +24796 with a 7.3% top-10, he's a defensible top-20 sprinkle but the outright price isn't quite there.
