The 2021-22 PGA Tour schedule kicks off this week when the 2021 Zozo Championship tees off on Thursday October 21st from Narashino Country Club in Chiba, Japan. The Zozo Championship 2021 offers a strong field of participants, led by Collin Morikawa, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele. Third placed player in the world, Morikawa finished second in the CJ Cup last week and is expected to be back this week. The 2021 Zozo Championship winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
Caesars Sportsbook lists Morikawa and Schauffele as 13-2 co-favorites in the latest Zozo Championship odds for 2021. They are followed by Matsuyama (16-1), Paul Casey (18-1) and Will Zalatoris (18-1) on the PGA Quota table. Before setting your 2021 Zozo Championship picks, be sure to check out the golf predictions and projected leaderboard of the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been brand new since the PGA Tour resumed last June. In fact, it’s up nearly $ 10,000 since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure’s best bet was that Collin Morikawa would win outright, despite being listed as a massive 40-1 long throw. He was also all about Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) and ended up in the top 20. McClure’s best bets came in at over $ 2,200 in the 2021 Open Championship.
Additionally, McClure’s model was featured throughout Jon Rahm’s (10-1) first major championship win of his career at the 2021 US Open. Rahm was two shots off the lead before the weekend, but the model projected him the winner nonetheless. And at the Masters 2021, McClure Rahms (+250) took top 5 placement in his best bets and Corey Conners (+550) top 10 placement.
The same model also nailed a whopping seven majors over the weekend. Everyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2021 Zozo Championship field is closed, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times and the results were surprising. Head over to SportsLine now to see the prospective Zozo Championship 2021 leaderboard.
The model’s top predictions of the 2021 Zozo Championship
A big surprise announced by the model at the Zozo Championship 2021: Paul Casey, a PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, doesn’t even crack the top five. Casey is a proven winner who has won three tournaments on the PGA Tour while claiming another 16 international victories.
Casey struggled to start the 2021-22 season, however, missing the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open, and finishing T-25 at the CJ Cup. Plus, the 44-year-old has been extremely inconsistent with his putter this season, finishing in 123rd. His inability to putts, coupled with his ineffectiveness around the greens, doesn’t bode well for his chances of being at the top of the ladder this week land. He’s not a strong pick to win everything and there are far better values out there in the 2021 Zozo Championship field.
Another surprise: Joaquin Niemann, a 28: 1 long shot, makes a strong run for the title. Niemann has a much better chance of winning anything than his odds suggest, so he’s a destination for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Niemann certainly has the game to land at the top of the rankings this week. The 22-year-old Chilean has already won a PGA Tour event and reached five top 10 finishes last season. In addition, Niemann was ranked in the top 25 last season in a number of key statistical categories including birdie average (4.14), scoring average (70.045), strokes won: off-the-tee (.556) and Strokes won: total (1,124). If he hits the ball well this week, he has a good chance of finishing at the top of the rankings at Narashino Country Club.
