Golfer to watch out for
Mike McClure
Daniel Berger
For Mike McClure’s model, Daniel Berger has a high potential to return great money for his bettors. Berger has finished no worse than a T3 in three of his last three starts. Last week, he had a T2 at the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. He also won the first event after the season’s postponement due to COVID-19 pandemic, topping the field at the Charles Schwab Challenge last June. Berger has a price of +6000 to win the 2020 PGA Championship.

Brooks Koepka
Regardless of Koepka’s struggles this season, it’s hard to ignore the fact that he’s been great in most of his recent major appearances. As pointed out by McLaren, Koepka did not finish worse than fifth in any major last year and has won four of his last 10 major starts. Koepka (+1100) is also just days removed from his best performance of the season, finishing with a T2 at the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

Bryson Dechambeau
Although his last two starts weren’t very good (missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament and a T30 at the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational), you shouldn’t count out Dechambeau, who’s been generally solid this season. He has eight top 10s and nine top 25s in 13 starts while missing the cut just two times. He is +1100 to win the 2020 PGA Championship.
