2023 Puerto Rico Open odds, picks: Proven golf model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising predictions

The Puerto Rico Open has never had a back-to-back winner, and that trend is going to continue this week, as reigning champion Ryan Brehm is not in the 2023 Puerto Rico Open field. There are still plenty of intriguing storylines to follow though, with spots open for lower-ranked players due to the Arnold Palmer Invitational also taking place this week. Nine of the last 14 winners at Grand Reserve Golf Club have been first-time PGA Tour champs, which should be something to be aware of when making your 2023 Puerto Rico Open bets. Nate Lashley is the 16-1 favorite in the latest 2023 Puerto Rico Open odds on the PGA Tour odds board.  

We simulated the 2023 Puerto Rico Open 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,300 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, The American Express and The Genesis Invitational. The model also included J.T. Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure's model was all over Scottie Scheffler's first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 longshot. The model was also all over Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner.

This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Puerto Rico Open 2023: Scott Piercy, a four-time PGA Tour winner and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 10! Another surprise: Andrew Novak, a 30-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!

Also, the model is targeting THREE other golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer who will make a STRONG run at the title! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any 2023 Puerto Rico Open picks!
