The PGA Tour heads to the Lone Star State this week for the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Despite following a major championship, the Charles Schwab Challenge field is expected to be elite. New world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, a Texas native, enters as the 4-1 favorite in the latest Charles Schwab Challenge odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Scheffler is followed on the PGA odds board by Jordan Spieth (12-1), Tony Finau (14-1), Viktor Hovland (14-1), Collin Morikawa (16-1), and Sungjae Im (18-1).
Which 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge prop bets should you target? And what sleepers could set you up for a potentially huge payday? Before locking in any Charles Schwab Challenge 2023 picks of your own, be sure to check out the PGA predictions and betting advice from SportsLine golf expert Mike McClure.
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 $8,700 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. 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 Hardy and Davis Riley in its best bets to win the 2023 Zurich Classic. That bet hit at +4500, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned over $1,100. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, even though he hadn't won a PGA Tour event since 2018.
This same model has also nailed a whopping nine majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see all of McClure's 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups and best bets.
Top 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge prop picks
One of McClure's favorite prop picks this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge 2023 is Max Homa finishing in the top-10 on the final leaderboard at +240 odds (risk $100 to win $240). Homa is coming off a disappointing 55th place finish at the PGA Championship, but still has six top-10 finishes and three top-fives in 2023. The 32-year-old has surged all the way up to 7th in the Official World Golf Ranking, so he should be confident heading into this week's event.
Homa is also a proven winner on the PGA Tour, having racked up six career wins. He ranks fifth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting (0.709), eighth in total strokes gained (1.817), 15th in strokes gained on approach (0.678), and 16th in strokes gained tee-to-green (1.108). Given his outstanding form this season, McClure sees huge value in backing Homa to finish inside the top-10 at +240.

Top 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge head-to-head matchup picks
One head-to-head matchup pick McClure is back this week for the Charles Schwab Challenge is Tommy Fleetwood over Justin Rose at +100 odds. Both golfers have been playing well as of late, but McClure believes Fleetwood is primed for a huge performance at Colonial Country Club.
In his last three starts, Fleetwood has a 15th place finish at the RBC Heritage, a fifth place finish at the Wells Fargo Championship, and an 18th place finish at last week's PGA Championship. The 32-year-old ranks fourth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained around-the-green (0.488), ninth in total strokes gained (1.758) and strokes gained tee-to-green (1.427), and 26th in strokes gained on approach (0.543). McClure has zeroed in on Fleetwood as one of his 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge top contenders and sees plenty of value in taking him to beat Rose head-to-head for a plus money payout.
