Shriners Children’s Open

TPC Summerlin Las Vegas

Oct 12-15, 2023 Par 72

Purse $8.4M+$4 5%

Third tournament for Fall with 132 players in the field.   Pretty much the same field as last week except for Tom Kim.  He was  22/1 and won last year with a stronger field.   Lexi Thompson gets a sponsors exemption and is the 7th woman to compete on the PGA Tour.  Winner gets $1.5M and 500 FedX points.  Points in Fall are important to stay in the top 70.  Justin Thomas now has 70 and may need to play 1 or 2 events to stay in the top 70. K.H. Lee 60/1 and Joel Dahmen 150/1 could crack the top 70 with a good showing this week.

FAVORITE ODDS by Draft Kings

#1 Tom Kim 10/1 He has not played in a long time and may be a little rusty.

#2 Ludvig Aberg 11/1 He may have the best chance to win, may be best in the field.

#3 Cam Davis 20/1 Everyone waiting for him to play well.  40/1 last year

#4 Si Woo Kim 25/1 I don’t see him winning but he finished 8th last year.

#5 Adam Hadwin 30/1 I think longshots have a better chance. 

LONGSHOTS

Nicolia Hojgaard 35/1 Sponsors exemption who wants to be on the PGA Tour.

Eric Cole 35/1 I keep picking this guy, one week he will win.

Luke List 40/1 Last weeks winner, Lucas Glover went back to back in August.

Mark Hubbard 50/1 Except for 2 bogies on the last 2 holes he wins last week.

Akshay Bhatia 60/1 A bad long shot, but everybody says he is ready to win.

Ben Griffin 80/1 He blew a 3 stroke lead last week.  Maybe he will bounce back.

Chesson Hadley 100/1 He was the leader after the first RD last week but faded badly.
