    The PGA Tour visits its most raucous venue of the season this week when a full field of elite players tee off in the 2023 WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. The field will battle for a purse of $20 million. Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are the co-favorites to lead after the first round, at +1800 from Caesars Sportsbook. Scottie Scheffler (+2500), Xander Schauffele (+2800) and Collin Morikawa (+2800) round out the top five choices. 

    Before you consider your WM Phoenix Open picks and who will lead the tournament after the first round, you NEED to see what Sia Nejad has to say. 

    Nejad is a golf and NFL betting and DFS expert who has had incredible success in the first-round leader market. While those markets tend to be highly volatile, Nejad managed to hit six first-round leaders in a 12-week span last year. He utilizes the inherent volatility in the market to identify value with golfers more likely to spike in one round versus a full tournament. He maintains that proper bankroll management is centered upon head-to-head matchups and the top 20 and top 40 markets but has been exceptional in spiking bankrolls via first-round leader cashes.

    In 2022, his first-round leader hits included Danny Lee (150-1 at the American Express), Kevin Na (40-1, Sony), Tom Hoge (80-1, Players), KH Lee (85-1, Phoenix), Jhonattan Vegas and Adam Hadwin (70-1 and 100-1, Valspar). He also hit a handful of outrights and live outrights, including Cameron Smith (28-1, Tournament of Champions) and Sam Burns (80-1 after Round 1, Charles Schwab Challenge).

    Now Nejad has released his first-round leader picks for the 2023 WM Phoenix Open.

    One shocker: Nejad is high on the chances of Sungjae Im (+3500) to lead after the first round. "He is no stranger to elite first rounds, and he also has good recent form and good course history," Nejad says.

    However, Nejad also likes an even bigger longshot who "is no stranger to getting hot in the first round." You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before entering any WM Phoenix Open 2023 picks!
