Scottie Scheffler returns to the site of his first career PGA Tour victory this week when he attempts to defend his title at the 2023 WM Phoenix Open at the TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course. 22 of the top 25 golfers in the world will battle it out with the final round of the tournament concluding just hours before Super Bowl 57 kicks off down the road in Glendale, Ariz. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy is the 8-1 favorite in the latest WM Phoenix Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders in the WM Phoenix Open field include Jon Rahm (17-2), Xander Schauffele (14-1), Scheffler (15-1), Tony Finau (18-1) and Collin Morikawa (18-1).

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 $8,600 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 and The American Express. 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.
This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, McClure was targeting Viktor Hovland to finish in the top-20 of the final leaderboard at +110 odds. The result: Hovland shot 10 under and finished in a tie for 13th place.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 WM Phoenix Open field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see all of McClure's 2023 WM Phoenix Open prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups, best bets, and his top one and done pick.
Top 2023 WM Phoenix Open prop picks
One of McClure's favorite prop bet picks this week at the WM Phoenix Open 2023 is Max Homa to finish in the top-20 of the final leaderboard at +125 odds (risk $100 to win $125). Homa, a six-time PGA Tour winner, has been on a tear since last fall and is now considered to be one of the most talented overall players in the world. The No. 12 ranked player in the world has a proven track record that shows he is a threat to win any tournament he enters.
In his last start at the Farmers Insurance Open, Homa shot a final round 66 to notch his first win of the 2023 calendar year. Dating back to last fall, Homa has played in seven events (not counting the Presidents Cup), and has four top-5 finishes and two outright wins. The 32-year-old ranks 5th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained (2.346), 9th in strokes gained tee-to-green (1.600), and 13th in strokes gained on approach (0.956). If he gets his putter working this week, Homa will likely be in contention when Sunday comes around and McClure sees huge value in taking him to finish in the top-20.
