Favorites
Rory McIlroy (Odds +700 at Unibet)
Rory McIlroy is the reigning champion of the competition and will start as favorite to try to become the second player to win the tournament on more than one occasion.
The Northern Irishman has finished in the top 5 on nine occasions in his last 14 tournament appearances, and while he has the best scoring victory in the tournament’s history (25 under par), the fact that this edition will be played at a new golf club could present a challenge for him.
Jon Rahm (Odds +750 at Unibet)
Jon Rahm, who was the best golfer in the world in 2021, had a disappointing year in 2022. But the Spaniard has shown in his last participation that he is close to returning to his best level, thanks in large part to the fact that he has improved notably in his putter, which was his biggest deficiency.
If he continues to solve this flaw in his game, Rahm could surely fight for the top positions, as his quality is more than proven.
Scottie Scheffler (Odds +1200 at Unibet)
Scheffler proved to be the best player on the PGA Tour in the 2021/22, being the leader in victories in the circuit with a total of four and was also named “Player of the Year”, and will look for this CJ Cup to be the event in which a new year full of glory begins.
Sleeper Picks
Justin Thomas (Odds +1400 at Unibet)
Justin Thomas is a great golfer, and not for nothing has he won two majors in his career, plus he has won at least one tournament in the last seven seasons. While he has won a few lately, these were in major events such as the 2022 PGA Championship, and he could feel comfortable facing great rivals in this CJ Cup, so do not rule him out.
Matt Fitzpatrick (Odds +2000 at Unibet)
Fitzpatrick comes into this CJ Cup after a disappointing performance after missing the cut at Valderrama, losing the opportunity to defend his title. However, the 2022 US Open winner has plenty of tools to compete at the highest level, so he is among those who could spring a surprise.
Dark Horse
Jordan Spieth (Odds +3000 at Unibet)
Jordan Spieth had a pretty good showing recently at the Presidents Cup, and while his recent results on the PGA Tour, he could be something to talk about if he can carry some of that momentum into this tournament.
