Notes about the Experts’ Analysis
- Four of the 12 experts on our list give Rory McIlroy as the favorite, as do the bookmakers.
- However, four also believe that Jordan Spieth could be a surprise, and we also evaluate him as the dark horse of the tournament in our predictions.
- If the trends continue, then McIlroy may not win, as a golfer has never lifted this trophy in consecutive editions in its entire history.
- Collin Morikawa is among the experts’ favorites, but there has never been a runner-up in the CJ Cup who managed to win in the subsequent edition of the tournament.
