⛳ Myrtle Beach Classic Picks: Best Bets to Win, Top Finishes & Top in Region

Defending champion Ryan Fox is playing in the Truist Championship, so we will have a new champion at the Myrtle Beach Classic. While Brooks Koepka is the betting favorite at +1500 on the Myrtle Beach Classic odds, I’m looking at Koepka to deliver at one of the Tour’s rising venues — Koepka is featured in my Myrtle Beach Classic picks.

This event features a full field competing for valuable FedEx Cup points and a growing purse. With the top golfers participating in the Truist Championship, there’s plenty of opportunity for contenders to capitalize.

💰 Myrtle Beach Classic picks

Here are our top golf picks for Myrtle Beach Classic.

🏆 Myrtle Beach Classic pick to win: Brooks Koepka (+1500)

Brooks Koepka is the clear player to beat at the Myrtle Beach Classic, entering the week as the outright favorite around +1500 odds . In a weaker, alternate-field event, his elite pedigree immediately separates him from the competition.

Koepka’s iron play has been outstanding this season, ranking near the top of the Tour in strokes gained on approach, which is critical for scoring consistency . He also still brings elite power off the tee, giving him a major advantage on a course that rewards length.

🎯 Myrtle Beach Classic sleeper pick: Eric Cole (+4000)

Eric Cole has a strong chance to win the Myrtle Beach Classic thanks to his consistency and elite iron play. He thrives in alternate-field events where precision and scoring opportunities are key, and his ability to gain strokes on approach gives him a major advantage. Cole is also one of the better putters in the field, capable of getting hot and converting birdie chances in bunches.

His steady recent form shows he’s comfortable contending, and in a weaker field like this, his balanced game and confidence make him a legitimate threat to break through.

🔥 Best Myrtle Beach Classic bets

Aaron Rai top English (+240)

Aaron Rai is a strong pick to finish as the top English player at the Myrtle Beach Classic thanks to his elite consistency and accuracy-driven game. He ranks among the best in driving accuracy and greens in regulation, a key combination on a course that rewards precision over power.

Rai also enters as one of the higher-ranked players in the field and a headline name in this alternate event, giving him a clear edge over weaker English competition.

⚖️ How I'm handicapping Myrtle Beach Classic

I’m handicapping the Myrtle Beach Classic by focusing on steady ball-strikers who can rack up birdies in a lower-strength, alternate-field setup. With many top names absent, I’m weighting recent form and confidence heavily, especially players gaining strokes on approach and putting. Course fit matters less than pure scoring ability here, so I’m targeting aggressive players who can go low over four rounds. I’m also looking for value in mid-tier and rising talent rather than favorites, since volatility is higher in these events and winning scores often come from hot putters and momentum-driven performances.
