Truist Championship
Another elevated event the week before Major #2! Next week: PGA Championship. All the guys are in play given the guaranteed 4-round format (barring a WD or injury). Short and sweet this week.
Highlights: Philadelphia Cricket Club
- NEW COURSE ON TOUR – NO HISTORY!
- Par 70 – 7,119 yards
- 6 holes have water in play
- Over 100 bunkers throughout the course – firm and deep
- Bentgrass greens – reportedly running fast (12-13 on stimpmeter)
- Tall fescue rough – difficult
Elevated event so the field is a quality one even though Scottie “I’ll shoot 30-under par – come get me” Scheffler isn’t playing.
NOTE: All pricing is based on DraftKings
$10,000 and Above (in my order of preference)
- Rory McIlroy ($12,00)
- Xander Schauffele ($10,200)
- Justin Thomas ($10,000)
- Collin Morikawa ($10,500)
The difference is negligible – except for the way RORS is playing right now!
$9,000 to $9,900
- Ludvig Aberg ($9,800)
- Tommy Fleetwood ($9,300)
- Patrick Cantlay ($9,500)

- Shane Lowry ($8,500)
- Daniel Berger ($8,600)
- Maverick McNealy ($8,300)
- Corey Conners ($8,800)
- Keegan Bradley ($8,100)
$7,000 to $7,900
- Sam Burns ($7,900)
- Andrew Novak ($7,800) – Last three: Win-2nd-T3
- Brian Harman ($7,500)
- Keith Mitchell ($7,400)
- Will Zalatoris ($7,300) – I know, but this is too cheap.
- J. T. Poston ($7,200)
- Akshay Bhatia ($7,100)
- Rasmus Hojgaard ($7,000)
Under $7,000
- Sam Stevens ($6,700) – way too cheap for current form!
- Tom Hoge ($6,700) – see Sam Stevens!
- Eric Cole ($6,700)
- Stephan Jaeger ($6,800)
- Harris English ($6,900)
- Michael Thorgjornsen ($6,400) – T33-T4-T2 in last 3 events.
Longshot(s)
- Erik van Rooyen ($6,200) – expect momentum from last week.
- Garrick Higgo ($6,100) – I like this guy, and he won a few weeks ago in the “other event” in Puntacana while the RBC Heritage was going on.
Based on the last two tiers, I assume you see that there are a lot of lineups constructs in play this week!
Ask questions on Discord if you have them. Make sure to tag me so I don’t miss it!
GOOD LUCK!!
