It is another Signature Event, the same status as last week&#8217;s Cadillac Championship, and it comes a week ahead of the PGA Championship, the second major of the year. Scottie Scheffler is taking the week off, but World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is in the 2026 Truist Championship field.<\/p>\n<p>The latest 2026 Truist Championship odds via FanDuel list McIlroy as the +500 favorite (risk $100 to win $500), with Cameron Young at +950 after going wire-to-wire at the Blue Monster last week. Xander Schauffele (+1000), Matt Fitzpatrick (+1500) and Ludvig Aberg (+1600) are among the other top contenders.

He&#8217;s a golfer to avoid this week. Kim enters this tournament with three top-10 finishes in his past four events, including a T4 finish at the Cadillac Championship. He finished in solo eighth at the PGA Championship at this course last year, but that was largely powered by a sizzling second-round 64. He shot 71 or higher in the other three rounds, and the model does not project him as a top contender for this week.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/2026-truist-championship-odds-picks-proven-golf-model-reveals-projected-leaderboard-surprising-predictions\/#ttag=05042026_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_model_TruistChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">See who else to fade here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another surprise: The model is high on Adam Scott at +3300. He&#8217;s a golfer to target in both outright and finishing position bets such as top 5 or top 10. The 14-time PGA winner tied with Kim (T4) at the Cadillac Championship last week for his second top-five finish of the year. His putting has been inconsistent, but otherwise his metrics are strong, including ranking first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approaching the green.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/2026-truist-championship-odds-picks-proven-golf-model-reveals-projected-leaderboard-surprising-predictions\/#ttag=05042026_agg_cbssports_picks_golf_pgatour_model_TruistChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">See who else to pick here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>New to sports trading?
