The second major referee of the year will start Thursday at Oak Hill Country Club, the 2023 PGA Championship. This is the first time Oak Hill has hosted the event since 2013, so there are a lot of players on the 2023 PGA Championship course who have no prior experience on the course. Justin Thomas entered the 2023 PGA Championship as the defending champion after winning last year’s tournament at Southern Hills. He missed the cut at the Masters in April, so he’ll try to bounce back as one of the top contenders for the 2023 PGA Championship.
Thomas is the 20-1 odds at the 2023 PGA Championship, while John Rahm and Scotty Scheffler are the 7-1 co-favourites. Should you include either of these in your 2023 PGA Championship bets? Before you lock in any picks or bets for the 2023 PGA Championship, be sure Check out 2023 PGA Championship predictions and best bets from PGA Tour Golf Betting and Fantasy Expert Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. It has been incredibly successful in the live market, first round leader market and live match betting. At the Wells Fargo Championships, he had Windham Clarke among his opponents, backstopping the shot to 75-1 before dominating Quail Hollow for his first PGA Tour victory.
In 2022, he achieved six first round leaderboards in a 12-week period while excelling in tournament competition throughout the year. In 2023, SportsLine debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the show’s first three months it racked up two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Ahmadinejad also had a head-to-head win record in eight of 10 weeks and was over 70 units over the three-month period. Anyone who follows his lead is the way.
Now, Ahmadinejad has set his sights on the 2023 PGA Championship course and made his best bets and best sleepers favorites to avoid. You can only see them here.
The best experts for the 2023 PGA Championship
One shocker from Ahmadinejad: expert fading John Rahm, who was rolling but priced too short. Ram became the first European golfer to win the Masters and the US Open when he won the Augusta National in April. However, he has yet to win a PGA Championship and will face enormous pressure this week. Ram has yet to contest a competitive tour at Oak Hill Country Club, which puts him at a significant disadvantage against some of the more experienced players of the 2023 PGA Championship. Golfers rarely retain their major titles next time around, and Ram could have a hard time pulling off that feat against a field loader. See who else is fading here.
On the other hand, Ahmadinejad likes the value over Patrick Cantlay at +1800. “He really has the full game to win here,” Ahmadinejad told SportsLine. Cantlay hits a long run and puts in the lane, ranking second on the tour in overall leadership. This will be an essential skill at Oak Hill, and the California native has finished in the top 10 in half of his events this season. Cantlay has eight career wins and 17 top three finishes. His performance in the majors wasn’t impressive, but he tied for third on the PGA in 2019. See who else to come back here.
How to make 2023 PGA Championship golf picks
Ahmadinejad has made his best bets for the 2023 PGA Championship and picks his long kicks, including the bet that has a price tag of around +5000. This golfer offers “a lot of value” through his ability to soar on the key areas. If that player can pull off an amazing victory, he’ll get loads of money for anyone who backs him up. You can only see selections in SportsLine.
So, which players should you target or avoid in the 2023 PGA Championship? And which golfer in the PGA Championship 2023 tournament could make a huge profit of around 50-1?
