The Players Championship is here, and we're diving deep into the best bets for an exciting week at TPC Sawgrass.
This is one of the most prestigious tournaments, so let’s get ready to cash in all week long.
We've cashed Sepp Straka at +5500 at the American Express and Ludvig Aberg at +1800 at the Genesis already. We're aiming for another nice win this week at the Players Championship.
Here's my full breakdown and betting picks for this weekend.
Players Championship Outright Winners Picks
Scottie Scheffler (+400): The current world No. 1, Scheffler is consistent across all aspects of the game.
Ludvig Aberg (+1600): A young star who already has a win this year, Aberg is ready to win even bigger.
Hideki Matsuyama (+3000): A strong history at this tournament will aid Matsuyama, who sports excellent tee-to-green play.
Jason Day (+6000): The veteran golfer Day is a former winner of this event and has been in excellent form of late.
Si Woo Kim (+6000): This is an underrated play as Kim has proven to play well with a strong record in big events like the Players.
Players Championship Long-Shot Picks
Aaron Rai (+7000): An underrated player on the PGA Tour, Rai has shown strong consistency.
Viktor Hovland (+7000): The Norwegian Hovland has always shown immense talent and at long-shot odds is a clear value play.
Brian Harman (+9000): The left-handed Harman is a true scrapper and his strong play around the greens should help him find success.

Players Championship One-and-Done Pick
Scottie Scheffler
While many will wait to use Scheffler at a major, this is the time to use him given the expensive purse at this event ($25 million, $4.5 million to first).
The two-time defending champion is the most consistent player in the field right now. He continues to show strong tee-to-green play and excellent putting.
Scheffler is primed to add another big victory to his collection.
