The Truist Championship is here, providing players with a final tune-up before the PGA Championship next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest:<\/strong> Rory McIlroy is favoured at Philadelphia Cricket Club following a dream start to the season where he won the Masters and completed the career grand slam. Scottie Scheffler boatraced the field last week, but is sitting this tournament out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out my Truist Championship picks featuring Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to full <\/b><\/a>Truist Championship betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best bet: Schauffele to win (+1,600)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schauffele is in fine form ahead of his PGA Championship title defence next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two-time major champion has three straight top-20 finishes, including a T8 at the Masters in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schauffele missed the first two months of this season with an injury, but it looks like the rust has finally been shaken off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Philadelphia Cricket Club seems like a bomb-and-gougers paradise. The issue with Schauffele has been finding fairways, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while McIlroy is a deserving favourite, the gap between him and Schauffele isn’t that<\/em> big when the two are on top of their game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key stat:<\/strong> Last year, Schauffle finished inside the top 20 in 19 of his 22 starts. That includes his two major wins and eight additional top-five finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hovland to win (+2,500):<\/strong> Is Hovland back? By his own admission, he’s not there yet. But that’s just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Norwegian won the Valspar Championship while still battling swing issues, and then carded a T21 at the Masters. He followed that up with a T18 at the RBC Heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s what he had to say at Augusta:<\/p>\n\n\n\nTruist Championship picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
