In seven starts already this year, he owns three finishes of sixth or better, proving that he’s just a couple of lucky bounces or lipped-in putts from finally cashing his first winner’s check.

Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor
Jon Rahm
In his preview of 2023 The American Express Sleepers, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Jon Rahm to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about Rahm:
The Spaniard superstar skipped the Sony Open in Hawaii, but don’t expect him to have cooled off just yet following his win in the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions earlier this month. Rahm is 2 of 2 this season. Apart from his win in Hawaii, he also placed T4 in The CJ CUP in South Carolina 2022 back in October. Rahm has a red-hot average of 6.5 birdies average to go with a scoring average of 69.18. Granted that he’s only played in two official PGA TOUR events this season, thus far, Rahm is someone who will always command attention as a favorite regardless of how much golf he’s played of late.
