Randy Chambers
Steve Stricker
Randy Chambers of Sports Chat Place, on the other hand, is banking on Steve Stricker to take home title this week. He’s not only the tournament’s all-time earnings leader but Stricker’s also a three-time champion in this event. Stricker, who holds the course record at TPC Deere Run, has top-20s in four of his last six Tour starts. He finished tied for 16th at the Masters and the U.S. Open. Stricker is pegged at +1,800 to bring home the bacon this week.

Rob Bolton
Charley Hoffman
PGATour.com’s Rob Bolton is backing Charley Hoffman to capture the title this week. Hoffman will head to TPC Deere Run with momentum on his side, nabbing top-10s in each of his last two starts. The San Diego native finished tied for eighth at the U.S. Open before copping a T3 at the Travelers Championship. Hoffman was superb in that tournament, putting together four straight rounds in the 60s. With the form that he is in right now, it isn’t far-fetched to see Hoffman win his fifth PGA Tour title this week. He is pegged at +1,200 to do just that.
