WINNER: RORY MCILROY (+850)

While McIlroy has made the cut in all three tournaments he has entered this year, he has yet to crack the Top 20 with a T21 at last week's Cognizant Classic being his best finish. But Bay Hill could provide the perfect opportunity for him to return to the leaderboard as he has finished in the Top 15 seven straight times with a first in 2018 and runner-up in 2023. Rated No. 1 in this week's Dunkel Index, McIlroy at +850 is our pick to win this week.
