On the Outright Winner betting market, Scottie Scheffler is considered the favorite with +400 odds to win the event. Followed by Xander Schauffele sitting with odds of +900, and Rory Mcllroy currently listed at +1000.
Memorial Tournament Betting Predictions:
Option 1: Xander Schauffele (+900)
Schauffele returns to action for the first time after his PGA Championship victory. It is not hard to believe Xander won’t be competitive once again this week, he is playing so well this season and has been near the top of the leaderboard every week. Muirfield is an extremely difficult golf course that requires length and accuracy off the tee, which Schauffele has. I fully expect Schauffele to be in contention on Sunday with another great chance to win.
Option 2: Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
Cantlay has not had a season up to his standards thus far, but I think that changes this week at Muirfield. Cantlay has prior success at this course and has proven he has the game to contend against the highest level of competition. If he can make some putts, he should have a great chance of winning.
Option 3: Sam Burns (+5000)
Burns played well last week in Canada with a T-10 finish. I think he continues his strong play this week. He ranked top seven in both Driving accuracy and GIR’s last week, if he can continue to excel in those categories he should find success and have a strong chance come Sunday.
