Watch Now: Preview: Workday Charity Open (4:34)

The famed Muirfield Village Golf Club will host back-to-back PGA tournaments starting with this week's 2020 Workday Charity Open. The Jack Nicklaus-designed track in Dublin, Ohio, will also host the Memorial Tournament next week. The 2020 Workday Charity Open field includes several players ranked in the world's top 10, including Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Jon Rahm, while major-winners Jordan Spieth, Gary Woodland and Patrick Reed are also among the top 2020 Workday Charity Open contenders when play starts Thursday morning, according to oddsmakers.

Thomas, a 12-time PGA Tour winner, is the 11-1 favorite in the current 2020 Workday Charity Open odds from William Hill. Ranked second in the world, Rahm isn't far behind at 12-1 in the current PGA odds, while Koepka, Cantlay and Hideki Matsuyama are each drawing 14-1. The first 2020 Workday Charity Open tee times are on Thursday. Before locking in your 2020 Workday Charity Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, is coming off yet another win, calling Bryson DeChambeau the outright winner at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week. It has also nailed two of the last three majors entering the weekend. It predicted Gary Woodland's first career major championship at the U.S. Open even though he wasn't the favorite entering the weekend. The result: Woodland held off a late charge from Brooks Koepka and won by three strokes. The model also called Koepka's historic victory at the 2019 PGA Championship, predicting he'd hold his lead in the home stretch.

In all, the advanced computer model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. This season, the model called Justin Thomas (15-2) winning the CJ Cup, Rory McIlroy (11-2) taking down the WGC-HSBC Champions and Viktor Hovland (11-1) earning his first career PGA Tour victory at the Puerto Rico Open.

McClure also returned a whopping +788 during the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge, including nailing top-five bets on Xander Schauffele +650 and Collin Morikawa +900. Additionally, the model was extremely high on 30-1 long shot winner Webb Simpson at the RBC Heritage. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Simpson winning outright. Those who followed that advice saw a whopping +3000 return. Anyone who has followed his golf picks has seen huge returns. 

Now that the Workday Charity Open 2020 field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the full projected leaderboard.

The model's top 2020 Workday Charity Open predictions 

One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Workday Charity Open 2020: Brooks Koepka, a four-time major champion and one of the top Vegas favorites at 14-1, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 10. Koepka showed signs of a turnaround when he finished seventh at the RBC Heritage a couple weeks back, but he hasn't been consistent enough this season to trust at these odds.

In seven PGA Tour events this season, he's missed the cut twice and withdrawn once. Outside of his top-10 finish at the RBC Heritage, his best finish among the events he finished is 32nd at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He ranks No. 192 on tour in driving accuracy percentage (54.22) and No. 176 in greens-in-regulation percentage (64.90). Those alarming stats make him one of the 2020 Workday Charity Open favorites to avoid this week. 

Another surprise: Patrick Reed, a massive 33-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The seventh-ranked player in the world, Reed won the WGC-Mexico Championship earlier this year for his eighth PGA Tour victory. 

Reed's odds are worse mainly because he missed the cut at last week's Rocket Mortgage Classic, but he also tied for seventh at the Charles Schwab Classic in the PGA Tour's first tournament back from the coronavirus pandemic. Reed, who also has top-10s this season at the Hero World Challenge, Sentry Tournament of Champions and Farmers Insurance Open, knows how to win at world-class courses like Muirfield Village. With a birdie average of 4.50, which ranks sixth on tour, Reed is primed for a breakout performance. He has all the skills needed to climb the 2020 Workday Charity Open leaderboard quickly.

How to make 2020 Workday Charity Open picks

Also, the model says four other golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer will make a strong run at the title, including an astronomical long shot going off higher than 35-1. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.

So who wins the 2020 Workday Charity Open? And which long shots stun the golfing world?
