Ready to turn a small bet into a massive payday? The 2026 WM Phoenix Open is here, and the stakes are higher than ever! But here's where it gets controversial: while Scottie Scheffler sits as the +220 favorite, could a longshot like Brooks Koepka (+4000) steal the show? Koepka, a multi-time winner of this event, has three top-5 finishes in five starts at TPC Scottsdale, making him a tempting PGA longshot pick. And this is the part most people miss: even if he doesn’t win outright, Koepka’s consistency here makes him a solid addition to your parlay at +750 for another top-5 finish.
Speaking of parlays, let’s talk strategy. You can build a WM Phoenix Open parlay using outright winners, top-5 or top-10 finishes, head-to-head bets, and more. For instance, Sahith Theegala, a +10000 longshot to win, offers a juicy +450 for a top-10 finish. He’s notched top-5s in two of his four starts here and has back-to-back top-10s in recent weeks. Pairing him with Koepka could set you up for a huge return.
But here’s the bold question: Are you brave enough to bet against the favorites? Before you lock in your picks, consider this: SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020, raking in over $8,000 in profits on its best bets. Now, after simulating the 2026 WM Phoenix Open 10,000 times, the model has some surprising picks.
One standout? Collin Morikawa to finish in the top 10 at +315. The model also predicts an outright winner and a prop bet that returns nearly +1000, turning a $10 wager into over $45,000! Here’s the kicker: These picks are so unconventional, they might just change how you approach golf betting. Do you agree with the model’s bold predictions, or do you think the favorites will dominate? Let us know in the comments—and don’t forget to check out SportsLine’s full five-leg parlay before placing your bets. Your next big win could be just a click away!
