The PGA Tour returns this week with the Procore Championship in Napa, California, and this year’s edition is loaded. 10 of the 12 U.S. Ryder Cup players are teeing it up at Silverado Resort’s North Course, making this the strongest field in tournament history. Fresh off hitting three outright winners since June, Taft Gantt is back with his best bets for the week in wine country. For more real-time, free picks every day, check out the Inside the Lines Blog.
Procore Championship Best Bets
Maverick McNealy To Win (+3300, BetMGM), Top 10 (+230, DraftKings)
If you believe in good karma or motivation, Maverick McNealy has both this week in Napa. Left off Keegan Bradley’s Ryder Cup team despite finishing 10th in the points list, McNealy didn’t hide his frustration on social media. Now he gets the perfect chance to respond — in front of much of that same U.S. squad.
A California native who grew up just two hours from Napa, McNealy is coming off his best season on Tour and won’t be treating this as a wine-country vacation. With his brother Scout on the bag and plenty to prove, +2500 feels like a great number in this spot.
Max Homa To Win (+5000, FanDuel), Top 10 (+400, DraftKings)
Another California native with a chip on his shoulder, Max Homa heads to Napa after missing the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2018. The silver lining? He’s had three extra weeks to reset and work on what’s been missing in his game.
If there’s anywhere to flip the switch, it’s Silverado Resort’s North Course. Homa has already lifted the trophy here twice (2021, 2022) and added a T7 in 2023. At +5000, this feels like a buy-low spot on a player with proven success at this event.

Collin Morikawa To Win (+2500, DraftKings), Top 5 (+500, DraftKings)
Why not keep the California theme rolling? Four of the last six winners here have been playing in their home state, and Morikawa has all the tools to add his name to that list.
The two-time major champ hasn’t won since 2023, but he showed signs of life during the FedEx Cup Playoffs and ranked second only to Scottie Scheffler in SG: Tee-to-Green this season. With the Ryder Cup looming, this feels like the perfect week for Morikawa to ride that momentum, find his swagger, and finally get back in the winner’s circle. Bet Morikawa at DraftKings here, where new users can get $200 in bonus bets and $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket from a $5+ first wager:

Michael Thorbjornsen Top 10 (+550, Caesars)
The Stanford Cardinal has the talent to win this tournament. At just 23 years old, he put himself in the mix a few times in 2025, his first full season on the PGA Tour.
Rico Hoey Top 20 (+300, BetMGM)
Switching to the long putter this week, Hoey brings elite ball-striking to Napa — he ranked first in both Total Driving and Greens in Regulation in 2025. Not a California native, but he has his USC roots. Bet Hoey top 20 at BetMGM, where new users get up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their first football wager doesn’t win:
Cam Champ Top 20 (+330, DraftKings)
The 2019 champion is a local kid from right down the road in Sacramento. Plus, being the longest player in the field won’t hurt on this 7,138-yard track.
