Tiger Woods won’t play in the 2023 Pga Championship starting Thursday at Oak Hill Country Club after having surgery on his ankle that could end his season. However, golf is as deep as ever and there’s a loaded 2023 PGA Championship field expected to tee off at the esteemed club in Western New York. Oak Hill has hosted three U.S. Opens, three PGA Championships, two Senior PGA Championships, two U.S. Amateurs and the 1995 Ryder Cup, but it will have a different look and feel after a complete redesign ahead of the PGA Championship 2023.
Adam Scott is a 14-time PGA Tour winner and past major champion who finished fifth in the 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill. Still, he’s a 65-1 longshot in the 2023 PGA Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler are battling for the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking this week and are 7-1 co-favorites and the top 2023 PGA Championship contenders. Before you lock in any 2023 Pga Championship Picks or bets, make sure you check out the 2023 PGA Championship predictions and best bets from PGA Tour golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He’s had incredible success in the outright market, first-round leader market and betting head-to-head matchups. At the Wells Fargo Championship, he had Wyndham Clark among his longshot outrights, backing the 75-1 shot before he dominated at Quail Hollow for his first PGA Tour victory.
In 2022, he hit six first-round leaders in a 12-week span while peppering in tournament outrights throughout the year. In 2023, SportsLine debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Nejad also had a winning head-to-head record in eight of 10 weeks and was up more than 70 units over that three-month span. Anyone who has followed his lead is way up.
Now, Nejad has focused his attention on the 2023 PGA Championship field and has locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. You can only see them here.
Top 2023 PGA Championship expert picks
One shocker from Nejad: The expert is fading Jon Rahm, who has been rolling but is priced too short. The 28-year-old is already an 11-time PGA Tour winner, with four of those victories coming in the 2022-23 season. He’s also set a new PGA Tour record for single-season earnings with more than three months remaining until the Tour Championship, but he admitted to fatigue following his Masters win while playing a brutal schedule. Even with some trees removed to open up Oak Hill Country Club, this is a golf course that has tended to favor shorter, straighter hitters. Rahm has been inconsistent in this event, with two top-10 finishes, but three finishes of 48th or worse in six career PGA Championship starts. See who else to fade here.
On the other hand, Nejad loves the value on Patrick Cantlay at 18-1. The 31-year-old’s best major finish was third at the 2019 PGA Championship, but he comes in with six top-10 finishes in 12 events this season. Cantlay is one of the most well-rounded players on tour, and Oak Hill will require a steady hand in all aspects. The eight-time winner on the PGA Tour is second in total driving, eighth in greens in regulation and 16th in strokes gained putting. He ranks third in scoring average (68.79). See who else to back here.
How to make 2023 PGA Championship golf picks
Nejad has locked in his best bets for the 2023 PGA Championship and is picking his longshots, including one who’s priced at around +5000. This golfer “presents a ton of value” with his ability to spike in key areas. If this player can pull off a stunning victory, he would cash in huge for anyone who backs him. You can only see the picks at SportsLine.
So which players should you target or avoid for the 2023 PGA Championship? And which golfer in the PGA Championship 2023 field could bring a huge payday of around 50-1? Check out the odds below, then visit SportsLine to see Sia Nejad’s top prop picks for PGA Championship 2023, all from the expert who was up more than 70 units.
