Since the PGA Tour returned in June of 2020, SportsLine's proprietary model, developed by DFS specialist Mike McClure, has been scorching hot.

[{"selector":"#anim-829f037c-7144-4339-a088-555a6a4eb749 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.281444543819504%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

In reality, the model has been winning tournament after tournament and is up about $9,500 on its best bets from the restart.

[{"selector":"#anim-d2565a5a-3970-46a0-a10d-4816d72ce12c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.26372609421531%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

In accordance with McClure's estimate, Jon Rahm (+800) would win the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

[{"selector":"#anim-9c7f0df1-0c7b-41b4-ab75-ac4a1fd11a64 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.22961945131945%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The model made J.T. Poston one of its top picks to win the John Deere Classic in 2022. For the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,100, and that wager hit at +5500.

[{"selector":"#anim-e0938c46-90f8-4fc8-8b57-f99199d183b0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.488107937605985%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
