Procore Championship Expert Predictions
Maverick McNealy To Win (+3300, BetMGM), Top 10 (+230, DraftKings)
For those valuing positive reinforcement or drive, Maverick McNealy may be a strong contender this week in Napa. Despite a high ranking, McNealy wasn’t selected for the Ryder Cup team, and he expressed his disappointment publicly. This tournament offers him an ideal opportunity to showcase his abilities against many of the players who will be on that U.S. team.
As a California native, McNealy has close ties to the Napa region and is expected to approach this event with serious intent. With his brother supporting him and a desire to prove his capabilities, the odds seem favorable in this scenario.
Max Homa To Win (+5000, FanDuel), Top 10 (+400, DraftKings)
Another Californian with a point to prove, Max Homa is participating in Napa after not qualifying for the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time in several years. However, this has given him additional time to prepare and refine his skills.
Silverado Resort’s North Course might be the perfect venue for him to excel. Homa has secured multiple victories here and achieved a high finish previously. The current odds present an attractive opportunity to back a player with a strong track record at this course.

Collin Morikawa To Win (+2500, DraftKings), Top 5 (+500, DraftKings)
Continuing with the California theme, a significant number of past champions have represented the state, and Morikawa has the potential to join that group.
Despite not winning recently, the major champion displayed promise during the FedEx Cup Playoffs and excelled in specific statistical categories. With the Ryder Cup approaching, this tournament could be the ideal moment for Morikawa to regain his confidence and secure a victory. Consider Morikawa at DraftKings, where new users can receive bonus bets and a discount on NFL Sunday Ticket with a qualifying wager:

Switching to a different style of putter this week, Hoey brings exceptional ball-striking skills to Napa. While not a California native, he is associated with USC. Explore Hoey’s chances at BetMGM, where new users can receive a bonus if their initial wager is unsuccessful:
