The 2022-23 PGA TOUR is headed this week to Rochester, New York where many of the best players in the world will compete for the top prize at the 2023 PGA Championship. Have you made up your mind about which player to bet on? If not, let the experts help you decide.
Beall listed the top 100 players for the 2023 PGA Championship and put Jon Rahm on top. Here’s what he had to say about the world No. 1:
“Rahm could be playing left-handed with plywood and a whiffle ball and he’d still take the top spot. It seems blasphemous to state someone is capable of winning the Grand Slam given the depth and frontline firepower in the professional ranks, but that’s a conversation we may be entertaining as the sport heads to Los Angeles Country Club.”

In his preview of the 2023 PGA Championship, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Rory McIlroy to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about McIlroy:
“A two-time winner of the PGA Championship, McIlroy will go for No. 3 this week. He has not played in a lot of tournaments this season, relatively speaking, as he’s 6/8 to date. However, he’s got three top 10s, including a win at the 2022 THE CJ CUP in South Carolina.”
