The field gets a bit stronger this week in Las Vegas for the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin. The 1st round of this fall event begins on Thursday morning as Tom Kim will try to defend his title in Vegas.
Below, we look at the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Kim is the defending champion, winning this event last year by 3 strokes. He’s the favorite to win again at +1100, slightly ahead of Ludvig Aberg (+1200). Cam Davis (+2000) and Si Woo Kim (+2500) are also among the favorites this week.
TPC Summerlin is a par 71 and plays at 7,255 yards. Designed by Bobby Weed and opened in 1991, the course is carved through canyons with plenty of water hazards to challenge players throughout. Renovations were completed in October 2022 before the Shriners Children’s Open, though the greens remain a blend of bentgrasses.

Shriners Children’s Open – Expert picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 1:45 p.m. ET.
Adam Schenk (+3300)
Schenk finished T-3 here in 2021 and followed it up with a T-12 last year. He finished the season strong with a T-9 at the Tour Championship after also finishing 6th in the FedEx St. Jude Championship in August. Combining his recent form with his course history, Schenk is a good bet this week.
Cam Davis (+2000)
Davis is riding a lot of momentum coming into this event, finishing 3rd at the Fortinet Championship a few weeks ago. He only has 1 finish outside the top 10 since the 3M Open in late July, so he’s been playing extremely well since the middle of the summer. In a field that’s lacking star power, this is exactly the type of event Davis should excel in. He finished T-37 and T-27 in his last 2 starts here.

Shriners Children’s Open picks – Contenders
Andrew Putnam (+4000)
Putnam has finished T-12 and T-11 in his last 2 starts in the Shriners Children’s Open. He missed the cut at the Fortinet Championship last month but in the start before that, he came in 10th at the BMW Championship. As a mid-tier option, his course history alone makes him a guy worth betting on.
S.H. Kim (+5000)
At this event last year, Kim finished T-4 and just 4 shots off the lead set by Tom Kim. Prior to missing the cut in the Sanderson Farms Championship last week, Kim finished solo 2nd in the Fortinet Championship 2 weeks prior so he’s capable of finishing near the top of the leaderboard.
Shriners Children’s Open picks – Long shots
Chesson Hadley (+9000)
In his last 2 starts here, Hadley hasn’t cracked the top 25, but he has finished T-27 and T-37, so he’s come close. He hasn’t missed a cut since the John Deere Classic in early July, making 5 consecutive cuts since then.
Greyson Sigg (+9000)
Sigg made the cut in each of his 2 starts here, finishing in similar spots: T-44 and T-47. A 1st-round 73 last week caused him to miss the cut at the Sanderson Farms Championship, but this is a good bounce-back spot for him.
