SportsLine’s Golf Model Forecasts Surprising Leaderboard at 2026 WM Phoenix Open

A SportsLine projection model simulated the 2026 WM Phoenix Open 10,000 times and produced a surprising leaderboard: world No. 1 Scott Scheffler is the +230 favorite, with Xander Schauffele +2000 and Cameron Young/Si Woo Kim +2500, and Brooks Koepka at +4500. The model claims Si Woo Kim may stumble out of the top 10, while Ben Griffin emerges as a top-two contender, and three longshots at +3000+ become viable top-10 threats. The piece emphasizes the model’s history of success in majors and urges readers to see the full picks from 10,000 simulations on SportsLine.
