Wells Fargo Championship 2023 Betting Preview
03 May 2023
The Wells Fargo Championship is set to take place this weekend at Quail Hollow Golf Course in Charlotte, North Carolina. Quail Hollow always seems to provide a great challenge to the players, and that will be the case yet again this weekend.
This field won’t include all of the best players in the world, but a large majority of the biggest names are scheduled to tee it up. There is a $20 million prize purse for the 2023 event, and that has helped to get the past golfers to Charlotte.
Just like with any other PGA Tour event, you are going to find a great betting opportunity. Here is a look at some of the odds for the Wells Fargo Championship as well as a Dunkel pick and prediction.
Favorites to Win Wells Fargo Championship
When looking at the odds to win the Wells Fargo Championship, it’s important to take a look at the early betting favorites. Even though only a handful of the Top 10 golfers in the world will be playing this weekend, you are still going to see some big names.
- Rory McIlroy +700
- Patrick Cantlay +1200
- Xander Schauffele +1400
- Tony Finau +1400
- Jordan Spieth +1600
- Viktor Hovland +1800
- Cameron Young +1800
It should come as no surprise that Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite to win the Wells Fargo Championship, as he has already won it three times in the past. McIlroy knows Quail Hollow extremely well, but he will have to contend with some other great golfers this weekend.
If you are following along with the action this weekend, then you should expect to see many names from this list of betting favorites near the top of the leaderboard. That doesn’t guarantee one of them will win, but betting against them is tough to do.
Contenders to Watch
Here is a look at some of the top contenders that you should watch out for this weekend:
- Collin Morikawa +2000
- Max Homa +2000
- Justin Thomas +2000
- Matt Fitzpatrick +2200
- Sungjae Im +2500
- Jason Day +2500
- Sam Burns +3300
- Rickie Fowler +3500
- Tyrrell Hatton +3500
- Sahith Theegala +4000
Max Homa has already won this event twice, and it is a bit surprising to see him not listed with the group of favorites with the odds. There are some other golfers in this group that have been playing well this season, and that will make them tough to bet against.
McIlroy Continues Dominance
It’s never easy to pick the winner of any PGA Tour event, but you shouldn’t try to overthink this one. There are some big names that will be teeing it up this weekend at Quail Hollow, and you should focus on the golfers that are the betting favorites.
It’s going to be a packed leaderboard on Sunday, but there will ultimately be a previous winner that will get the job done. Bet on Rory McIlroy to win the Wells Fargo Championship this weekend in Charlotte, and this will be his fourth time coming away with this title.
