Truist Championship pick to win from SBR's Esten McLaren:

Viktor Hovland (+2800 DraftKings)

"Hovland enters the week at No. 9 in the OWGR following a T-13 finish in the RBC Heritage Signature Event. He won the Valspar Championship in his final tune-up for the Masters, where he finished T-21. This recent three-event run followed a stretch of three straight missed cuts.

Hovland is third in this week's field - behind Morikawa and McIlroy - in strokes gained: approach across his last 16 measured rounds. He's also gaining 0.41 strokes per round with his putter in that time, and he's well above average in both driving distance and accuracy.

I value those traits in an event without course experience, and I'm happy to take the exaggerated odds with McIlroy such a heavy favorite."

Truist Championship AI predictions from ChatGPT:

Top pick: Collin Morikawa (+1400 via DraftKings)

- Recent form: Morikawa has been a runner-up twice in 2025, indicating consistent high-level performance
- Course fit: The Wissahickon Course at Philadelphia Cricket Club emphasizes precision and iron play. Morikawa's strengths align well with these requirement
- Betting value: At +1400, Morikawa provides a favorable risk-reward ratio compared to the favorite, Rory McIlroy, who is listed at +450

Betting strategy

- Primary bet: Collin Morikawa to win at +1400.
- Top-10 finish: Consider betting on Viktor Hovland for a top-10 finish, given his recent form and favorable odds
- Long-shot consideration: Corey Conners (+3000 via DraftKings) has demonstrated strong ball-striking abilities, which could translate well to the Wissahickon Course.
