Modell tippar Morikawa på topp fem i 2026 Players Championship

Players Championship 2026 börjar torsdag på TPC Sawgrass i Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, med toppgolfare som Scottie Scheffler och Rory McIlroy. En beprövad golfmodell har simulerat turneringen 10 000 gånger och lyfter fram propodds på Collin Morikawa, Si Woo Kim och Ludvig Åberg. Scheffler är favorit på +480, McIlroy på +1600.

Players Championship 2026, ofta kallad det inofficiella femte majorturneringen, lockar ett starkt startfält till TPC Sawgrass. Scottie Scheffler leder speloddsen på +480 att vinna, följd av Rory McIlroy på +1600. Tävlingen följer på helgens Arnold Palmer Invitational, där Akshay Bhatia besegrade Daniel Berger i särspel och där både Collin Morikawa och Ludvig Åberg slutade bland de fem bästa. SportsLines modell, som genererat över 8 000 dollar i vinster på bästa spel sedan PGA Tour återupptogs i juni 2020 och som korrekt förutspått 16 majors – inklusive 2025 Masters, PGA Championship och Open Championship – erbjuder flera propval. Den projicerar Morikawa att sluta bland topp fem på +430 odds hos DraftKings. 29-åringen vann AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am den 12 februari, följt av T7 på The Genesis Invitational och femte plats på Arnold Palmer Invitational, vilket markerar tre raka topp sju-finish. Morikawa ligger åtta i total strokes gained, sjua i total driving, nia i driving accuracy, nia i scoring average och elva i birdie average denna säsong. Han slutade tia i fjolårets Players Championship. Modellen gillar även Si Woo Kim för topp 10-finish på +340 odds. Kim, nia i FedEx Cup, har tre topp 10 i sina första sju starter, inklusive T13 på Arnold Palmer Invitational. Han har två topp tre-resultat, ligger tolfte i total strokes gained och tvåa i strokes gained: approach to the green. Kim leder i proximity to the hole, är fyra i driving accuracy, sexa i scoring average och femma på par 4-hål. Han vann Players Championship 2017 och har två topp 10 i sina fem senaste framträdanden där. För gruppspel hos DraftKings väljer modellen Ludvig Åberg att toppa Group B, som inkluderar Kim, Cameron Young, Russell Henley och Hideki Matsuyama, på +335 odds. Åberg slutade T3 i helgen och nådde sex topp 10 i 20 starter under 2025-säsongen. 26-åringen har två PGA Tour-segrar på 61 tävlingar och slutade på åttonde plats i sitt Players-debut 2024.
