When the PGA Tour last saw Bryson DeChambeau, he was bashing his way around Winged Foot Golf Club en route to winning the U.S. Open for his first major championship. That victory affirmed DeChambeau's marked addition of muscle mass and concurrent driving distance improvement. DeChambeau returns to action as part of the field at the 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, which gets underway on Thursday at TPC Summerlin.
DeChambeau is the pre-tournament favorite this week, carrying 7-1 odds in the latest 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open odds at William Hill. Patrick Cantlay, who has won at TPC Summerlin once and finished second there twice more, is at 16-1, among PGA contenders like Webb Simpson (10-1) and Collin Morikawa (20-1). Before locking in your 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the latest golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour in June. In fact, it's up over $13,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again last week on his best bets. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Garcia winning outright. Those who followed that advice saw a massive +5500 return.
He also finished profitable at the U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff. McClure hit a top-five bet (+1200) on Doc Redman at the Wyndham Championship, finishing up over $700 on his best bets.
The model was all over Dustin Johnson (8-5) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Tour Championship and Justin Thomas winning the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational at 12-1. And at the 3M Open, McClure's best bets returned a whopping $1,100 as he nailed a top-five pick on Max Homa (+1200) and a top-20 pick on Talor Gooch (+400). Those are just some of his recent big returns.
In all, the advanced computer model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model's top 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open 2020: Patrick Cantlay, one of the top Vegas favorites at 16-1 according to William Hill, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. Cantlay has been absolutely dominant at this event over the last three years. He finished on top of the leaderboard in 2017, and has followed that up with back-to-back runner-up finishes at TPC Summerlin. However, Cantlay has struggled mightily in his most recent starts, finishing outside the top-30 in five of his last six events on the PGA Tour.
Cantlay's inconsistent performances can be directly attributed to his inability to find the fairway off the tee. The two-time PGA Tour champion finished last season ranked 114th in driving accuracy percentage (59.35), which doesn't bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open 2020 field.
Another surprise: Louis Oosthuizen, a 35-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Oosthuizen has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 37-year old South African has not played since the U.S. Open, where he finished third and won over $860,000.
Oosthuizen played well in big events during the 2019-20 season, finishing third in the WGC-HSBC Champions and sixth in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. This is Oosthuizen's first appearance at TPC Summerlin, but the 2010 Open Champion has all the game necessary to win anywhere in the world. That's why you should consider him as a strong pick in 2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open bets.

Also, the model is targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or higher to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.
