World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler heads to Muirfield Village for the 2023 Memorial Tournament after finishing tied for third place at the Charles Schwab Challenge. His final round at Colonial Country Club included a hole-in-one at the par-3 eighth hole. He is the 6-1 favorite in the 2023 Memorial Tournament odds at Caesars Sportsbook, sitting ahead of Jon Rahm (7-1) and Patrick Cantlay (10-1). Should you include any of them in your 2023 Memorial Tournament bets?
Rory McIlroy (12-1) is also among the 2023 Memorial Tournament contenders in his first event since the PGA Championship. With a loaded 2023 Memorial Tournament field set to take on Muirfield Village beginning on Thursday, it is important to get quality PGA Tour advice. Before locking in your 2023 Memorial Tournament picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $8,700 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, the model included Nick Hardy and Davis Riley in its best bets to win the 2023 Zurich Classic. That bet hit at +4500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned over $1,100. McClure’s best bets also included Jason Day winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, even though he hadn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2018.
This same model has also nailed a whopping nine majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2023 Memorial Tournament field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2023 Memorial Tournament predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Memorial Tournament 2023: McIlroy, who ranks third in the world rankings and is one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top 10. He skipped the Charles Schwab Challenge following his seventh-place finish at the PGA Championship. McIlroy was outside the top 45 at the Wells Fargo Championship at the beginning of May after missing the cut at the Masters Tournament.
He also missed the cut at The Players Championship and did not contend at the WM Phoenix Open or the Genesis Invitational earlier in the season. McIlroy has not been meeting expectations throughout the campaign, but he continues to be priced as one of the favorites on the PGA odds board. The model has McIlroy outside the top 10 this week, making him an overvalued golfer to avoid with 2023 Memorial Tournament bets.
Another surprise, Justin Thomas, a 30-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He won his second PGA Championship last May at Southern Hills Country Club, becoming the fourth player since 1960 to win 14 PGA Tour events before turning 28. Thomas joined Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Johnny Miller in that statistic.
The Memorial Tournament increased its prize purse from $12 million to $20 million as part of the tour’s elevated status designation, giving Thomas plenty of motivation this week. He finished outside the top 60 at the PGA Championship, but he posted consecutive top-25 finishes at the RBC Heritage and Wells Fargo Championship. Thomas is finally available at a discounted price, which the model has identified as a valuable wagering spot. See who else to pick here.
