Golf's dark-horse surge: model predicts surprising Farmers Open leaderboard
SportsLine's projection model simulated the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open 10,000 times, listing Xander Schauffele at +1400, Ludvig Aberg +1700, Si Woo Kim +2200, Patrick Cantlay +2500, and Brooks Koepka +5500 as top odds; the model forecasts a surprising leaderboard with Kim slipping outside the top five while Cantlay contends for a top-two finish, plus five other longshots among its top 10.
