2018 Valspar Championship: SportsLine has surprising picks and predictions

We simulated the 2018 Valspar Championship 10,000 times and came up with a very surprising leaderboard. Our proven computer model was all over Phil Mickelson at the WGC-Mexico Championship. Despite being a 20/1 long shot, the model projected him as a top contender. The result: Mickelson shot 69 or better all four days and finished on top of the leaderboard.

One huge surprise the model is calling for at the Valspar Championship this week: Tiger Woods, a 25/1 long shot, earns his first Top 10 finish of the season and makes a serious run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Another surprise: Charl Schwartzel, the 2016 champion, doesn't sniff the Top 12. Avoid him.

Also, the model says four golfers with odds of 30/1 or longer will make a deep run at the Valspar Championship title. Anyone who bets on these underdogs could hit it big... Join SportsLine here to see who you can bank on to win the Valspar Championship and see which long shots make a run at the title, all from the model that was all over Phil Mickelson's run at the WGC-Mexico Championship and nailed three 2017 majors heading into the weekend.
