2023 Bermuda Championship odds: Surprising PGA picks, predictions from golf model that has called 10 majors

Brendon Todd has racked up three career victories on the PGA Tour, which includes finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Bermuda Championship in 2019. Todd will be part of the 2023 Bermuda Championship field, which also features proven champions like Adam Scott and Stewart Cink. Todd has finished T-7 or better in two of his last four starts on the PGA Tour, which includes a sixth-place showing at the Fortinet Championship in his last outing. The first tee times come at 5:55 a.m. ET on Thursday. 

Todd is going off at 18-1 in the latest 2023 Bermuda Championship odds, while Scott is listed as the 14-1 favorite. Should your Bermuda Championship 2023 picks include Todd to claim victory at Port Royal Golf Course, or should you look elsewhere for value on the PGA odds board? Before locking in your 2023 Bermuda Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns. 

Now that the 2023 Bermuda Championship field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top 2023 Bermuda Championship predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Bermuda Championship 2023: Scott, a 14-time PGA Tour champion and the odds-on favorite, struggles this week and barely cracks the top five. Scott is a seasoned veteran on the PGA Tour and he enters this week's event ranked 15th in putting average (1.722) and 16th in strokes gained: putting (0.462). 

However, Scott has struggled mightily with his accuracy this season, which could cause major trouble at Port Royal Golf Course. Scott enters the Bermuda Championship ranked 171st in driving accuracy (52.47%), 147th in greens in regulation percentage (65.02%) and 140th in strokes gained: approach to green (-0.169). He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Bermuda Championship 2023 field.

Another surprise: Doug Ghim, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. Ghim has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

Ghim has been hitting the ball extremely well off the tee this season, ranking 11th in driving accuracy (67.28%) and 19th in total driving (130). He's been even better with an iron in his hands, ranking third in greens in regulation percentage (71.60%). He also ranks inside the top 50 in scoring average (69.89), strokes gained: off the tee (0.235) and scrambling (62.64%). Ghim is one of the top value picks that should be on your radar at the 2023 Bermuda Championship. See who else to pick here.
