Welcome to my weekly fantasy golf model for the 2023 PGA Championship!

Beginning in 2020, I developed a weekly rubric which offers a clear-cut ranking system based on data points weighted in a formula. So far, it's been a tremendous success. Here's a look at several PGA Tour winners since April 2022 and where they landed in the model:

  • Charles Schwab Challenge: Sam Burns - No. 3
  • RBC Canadian Open: Rory McIlroy - No. 3
  • US Open: Matt Fitzpatrick - No. 13
  • Travelers Championship: Xander Schauffele - No. 1
  • Genesis Scottish Open: Xander Schauffele - No. 3
  • The Open: Cameron Smith - No. 16
  • Rocket Mortgage Classic: Tony Finau - No. 6
  • FedEx St. Jude Championship: Will Zalatoris - No. 5
  • BMW Championship: Patrick Cantlay - No. 3
