This week, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth return to their home state for the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Forth Worth, Texas. Both Texans lead the outright betting favorites at this non-elevated event that contains a stacked field. There is an immense gap between Scheffler at +400 and Spieth at +1400. Scheffler is the World No. 2 ranked golfer and hasn’t dipped below a T12 finish since October. He has come extremely close to winning each of the last two events at AT&T Byron Nelson and the PGA Championship, but Scheffler gets another chance to win this event in front of his peers at home.
Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are among the notable players absent from the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, but there are plenty of big names that warrant consideration for outright bets this week. Viktor Hovland has emerged as a consistent threat atop leaderboards despite a late flop against Brooks Koepka on Sunday at the PGA Championship, while Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa are among the premiere ball strikers on the PGA Tour this season. There’s good value with some of the longer odds for outright betting as well, notably Cam Davis, currently at 40/1, and Justin Rose at 28/1.
