2026 Puerto Rico Open odds, picks: Proven golf model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising predictions

The PGA Tour will host two events simultaneously for the first time this season, both starting on Thursday. The 2026 Puerto Rico Open is the alternate tournament, being played opposite the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The former will take place at Grand Reserve Country Club, where low scores will be expected. Last year's victor, Karl Vilips, shot a tournament-record of 26-under-par, but a new champ will be crowned at the Puerto Rico Open 2026 with Vilips not in the field.

With his absence, Rasmus Hojgaard is the +1100 favorite, followed by Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen (+1200). Davis Thompson comes in at +1750, with Michael Brennan -- the highest-ranked player in the field -- at +2500 in the Puerto Rico Open odds.
