After wrapping up its California swing with the Genesis Invitational, the PGA Tour heads to the Sunshine State this week to take on PGA National Resort and Spa’s Champion Course for The Honda Classic 2023. World No. 18 Sungjae Im is listed as the 17-2 betting favorite in the latest Honda Classic odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders in the Honda Classic field include Shane Lowry (14-1), Aaron Wise (22-1), Min Woo Lee (25-1) Chris Kirk (25-1) and Alex Noren (25-1). Defending champion Sepp Straka comes in at 35-1.
What 2023 Honda Classic prop bets should you target? And which sleepers could set you up for a potentially huge payday? Before locking in any Honda Classic 2023 picks of your own, be sure to check out the PGA predictions and betting advice from SportsLine golf expert Mike McClure.
SportsLine’s 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 to 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 long shot. The model was also all over Jon 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.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 Honda Classic field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see all of McClure’s 2023 Honda Classic prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups, best bets, and his top one and done pick.
Top 2023 Honda Classic prop picks
One of McClure’s favorite prop bet picks this week at the Honda Classic 2023 is Jhonattan Vegas to finish in the top-20 of the final leaderboard at +170 odds (risk $100 to win $170). Vegas, a three-time PGA Tour winner, had strong showings against elite fields at the Farmers Insurance Open and WM Phoenix Open and has proven that he can contend and win in any tournament he enters.
Vegas is elite in multiple metrics. Heading into this week’s tournament, the 38-year-old ranks first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee (0.923), fourth in strokes gained tee-to-green (1.882), and 19th in strokes gained around the green. If he gets his putter working this week and puts together four complete rounds, Vegas will likely be in contention when Sunday comes around and McClure sees huge value in taking him to finish in the top-20.
