2023 John Deere Classic fantasy golf picks, rankings, tips: Denny McCarthy back, Ludvig Aberg faded

The PGA Tour will move to TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois for the 2023 John Deere Classic. For the second weekend in a row, the tour hosts a non-highlighted event, leading to a slightly weakened field woven together by the Scottish Open and the Open Championship. Still, there’s plenty of talent on display, including 2022 winner JT Poston. The 2023 John Deere Classic field also includes six previous winners and one top-20 player in Cameron Young.

Denny McCarthy (14-1) is the favorite in the latest 2023 John Deere Classic odds, followed by Young (16-1) and Russell Henley (18-1). Is a young player like 20-year-old Gordon Sargent (70-1) worth placing in your fantasy golf picks for the 2023 John Deere Classic in addition to the top players?

2023 John Deere Classic Expert Picks

One player Cohen loves is Denny McCarthy. He’s the betting favorite for a reason, and Cohen believes he “is primed for his first PGA Tour win.” McCarthy’s putter has been on fire this season, leading the PGA Tour from inside 10 feet (91.77%) and finishing in the top 12 on tour in strokes gained putting (.784), one-putt percentage (43.68%) and scramble. interest (65.36%). McCarthy is near the top of the tour in strokes gained, finishing in the top 10 in three of his last six tournaments, and has finished in the top 30 in two majors this season.

On the other side, the expert is fading from Ludvig Aberg. Cohen believes in Aberg’s talent, especially for the future, but sees better value elsewhere. The Texas Tech product has never finished in the top 20 on the PGA Tour. Last week, Aberg showed flashes before succumbing to a weekend slump and landing a T40 finish. Cohen believes in Aberg’s game, but notes that he “needs to sharpen his other areas to win.” See all of Cohen’s picks at SportsLine.
