2019 PGA Championship: SportsLine has surprising picks and predictions

We simulated the 2019 PGA Championship 10,000 times, and there are some major surprises. Our proprietary computer model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has nailed four majors entering the weekend, including Patrick Reed's groundbreaking win last year at the Masters. It also called Tiger Woods' deep run in last year's PGA Championship despite being a 25-1 long shot.

The model has been spot-on early in the 2018-19 season. It was high on champion Rory McIlroy at the 2019 Players Championship, projecting him as one of the top two contenders from the start. It also correctly predicted Brooks Koepka's (9-1) victory at the CJ Cup. Additionally, it correctly called Bryson DeChambeau's (9-1) seven-shot victory at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Anyone who has followed the model is WAY up.

Now, it has simulated the 2019 PGA Championship and there are some HUGE surprises.

One major surprise the model is calling for at the PGA Championship this year: Tiger Woods, a four-time champion, reigning Masters champ, and the top Vegas favorite, doesn't even crack the top five. Another surprise: Jon Rahm, an 18-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

Also, the model says four OTHER golfers with odds of 18-1 or longer make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it BIG.

So who wins the 2019 PGA Championship? And which HUGE long shots make a serious run at the title? ... Join SportsLine right now to see who you can bank on to win the 2019 PGA Championship, and see which long shots make a run at the title, plus see Tiger Woods' exact finish position, all from the model that nailed the winners of four golf majors!
