Looking ahead to our picks for the week now, we’ve once again gone with three outright winner plays, ranging from one of the favorites to a couple of value plays.

🏌️‍♂️ Outright winner picks

🏆  Top Pick:

Xander Schauffele (+1200 or 12/1)

Bet $10, win $120

The sixth ranked player in the world, Xander is always right in the mix, be it a major or any other PGA event. 

So far in the 2021 season (so, dating back to the US Open) his results have read: 5th, 2nd, T17, T17, T5, making him our top pick for the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open.

His last win came 24 months ago at the 2019 Sentry TOC, and he will be out to grab multiple wins in 2021!

🤑 PointsBet offer:

Rory McIlroy Top-10

Bet $100, win $125

Rory returned last week at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, finishing third behind Tyrrell Hatton and Jason Scrivener, despite a lackluster final round of 72.

And now, PointsBet is offering you the chance to bet on him to finish in the Top-10, with the max bet of $100 netting you $125 plus the stake ($225). 

He's finished in the Top-10 a ridiculous 90 times in his career and our model currently has him as a 38.3% chance of getting there again this week.

💰 Value Bet:

Adam Scott (+5000 or 50/1)

Bet $10, win $500

The 2013 Masters champion has been thereabouts without making a push for a win so far this season with 5/5 made cuts resulting in a highest placed finish of T21 at the Sentry TOC two weeks ago.

Listen to the latest Tail and Print podcast

Scott's last win came in February of last year and he was looking like going on a run before the pandemic hit and the TOUR was shut down, resulting in Scott heading back to Australia for a prolonged period even once golf had returned.

Now that he's back on the TOUR and playing regularly, it should only be a matter of time until he wins again.

🔮 Dark Horse:

Corey Conners (+10000 or 100/1)

Bet $10, win $1000

Canadian Corey Conners may not be a household name, but that's part of the reason he's way out at 100/1 odds!

Conners won the Valero Texas Open in 2019 and finished T10 at the Masters last November, showing he can absolutely match it with the best!

As well as the above, this pick comes courtesy of DimersBOT, where he's ranked as the eighth best chance to win despite his long odds!

If you need any more convincing, check out his Valero Texas highlights below 👇

2021 dark horse record:

Sungjae Im @ Sentry TOC - T5
Marc Leishman @ Sony Open - T4
Cameron Champ @ AmEx - CUT

As you can see, our first two dark horse picks of 2021 had great tournaments, paying out those that bet them for Top-5 and Top-10!
