Cadillac Championship Picks

NOTE: A quarter unit is allocated to outright plays and a full unit on the top finishing positions, which are including ties unless stated otherwise, and head-to-head wagers.

As always, be sure to shop around for the best numbers, as PGA odds can vary significantly from book to book.

Cam Young: To Win (13/1)

I'll finally be pulling the trigger on a Cam Young outright this season, and unfortunately for us, it's at his lowest price of the year. Fortunately, though, he sets up well at the Blue Monster Course.

Young has been playing terrific golf and ranks second among this crop of contenders in SG: TOT this season. Additionally, he's second in SG: OTT on long to very long courses where gaining strokes off the tee is in difficult to very difficult conditions over the past three years.

His approach game has been solid, but if he can't land on the green, there's reason to have confidence in his scrambling ability. He ranks 22nd in SG: Around the Green and has also putted well on Bermuda greens, ranking 16th.

Viktor Hovland: To Win (40/1) | Top 20 (+100)

Even though he ranks 63rd in Driving Distance, there's still a lot to like about Viktor Hovland's game for the Cadillac Championship.

He's third in SG: APP over the last three years on very long courses, fourth in SG: TOT on very long courses with difficult scoring conditions, and fifth in Birdie or Better Percentage over the past two seasons in difficult scoring conditions.

Akshay Bhatia: To Win (56/1) | Top 30 (-120)

Watching Akshay Bhatia this golf season has been quite the ride. He began the year with back-to-back missed cuts at the American Express and the Farmers Insurance Open, but then followed that up with a T-3 at the Phoenix Open and a T-6 at Pebble Beach. It only took him a couple weeks after that to claim his first win of the season, which came at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he overcame Daniel Berger in a playoff.

He kept the momentum going into THE PLAYERS, finishing T-13, then missed the cut at the Masters, but bounced back with a T-16 at the RBC Heritage.

That's a long-winded way of saying that Bhatia has what it takes to compete in any big event, including this week at the Cadillac Championship.

My model agrees, as Bhatia ranks ninth this week. He's second in SG: APP over the past year on courses where gaining strokes on approach shots is very difficult, eighth in Birdie or Better Percentage, 10th in SG: PUTT on Bermuda, and 12th in SG: TOT this season.

Look for the southpaw swinger to put up strong numbers once again.

Jordan Spieth: To Win (61/1) | Top 20 (+112)

Any time I find a valid excuse to back Jordan Spieth, I take it and run with it. Based on what my model is showing, there is plenty to like about Spieth this week.

Not many players have a track record at the Blue Monster Course, considering the last time the PGA Tour played here was in 2016, but Spieth has 12 rounds of experience and a +1.48 True SG mark. He finished T-17 in 2016 and T-34 in 2014.

He shows up at 15th in my model, highlighted by sitting ninth in SG: OTT over the past three years on very long courses with difficult scoring conditions, 17th in Birdie or Better Percentage, 23rd in Driving Distance, and 25th in SG: TOT this season.

Spieth has shown flashes of a potential return to glory this season; who knows, maybe it could come to fruition down in South Beach.

Keith Mitchell: To Win (80/1) | Top 30 (+110)

My long shot pick of the week belongs to the 34-year-old Keith Mitchell, who is sitting 13th, yes 13th, in my model for this week's tournament.

So why does a player who normally flies under the radar stack up so well this week? Well, he's first in Birdie or Better Percentage over the past two years on tracks with difficult scoring, second in Driving Distance this season, sixth in SG: OTT over the past three years on long courses with difficult scoring conditions, and 19th in both Good Drive Percentage and SG: APP on long courses over the past few seasons.

Mitchell has had some quality results this season, including a T-6 at the Cognizant Classic, a T-11 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T-14 at the Houston Open.

Don't be shocked to see Keith Mitchell contend this week.

Rickie Fowler: Top 20 (+120)
