Golf expert reveals 2026 PGA CJ Cup Byron Nelson picks

Key Points:

• Scottie Scheffler, last year's dominant CJ Cup Byron Nelson champion, is the +180 favorite to win the 2026 tournament at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, where the event will be played on a par-71, 7,385-yard course.
• Despite Scheffler's strong performance last year, golf expert Brady Kannon advises against betting on him to win at short odds due to recent putting struggles and likely regression from his previous 31-under par performance.
• Kannon, a seasoned handicapper with a successful track record including six PGA winners and eight major calls since 2013, has identified better value bets for the tournament, including a longshot player with odds over 80-1 who excels on approach shots and around the greens.
• Other top contenders with notable odds include Si Woo Kim (+1500), Jordan Spieth (+1600), and Brooks Koepka (+2500), but Kannon suggests exploring his expert picks for the best betting opportunities.
• Golf fans and bettors are encouraged to consult Brady Kannon’s detailed predictions and best bets on SportsLine before making their 2026 PGA CJ Cup Byron Nelson wagers.
