2023 Chevron Championship odds, picks to win: Can Nelly Korda claim another major title?

Nelly Korda is due for another major championship.

The 2023 Chevron Championship is going to be different.

Last year was the final playing at the iconic Mission Hills in California and now the year’s first women’s major championship is being held at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas.

Jennifer Kupcho, the 20th-ranked player in the world, is the defending champion and is coming off a T-25 performance at the DIO Implant LA Open.

Several players in the field, including Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, discussed the new venue and how it differs from Mission Hills.

Korda and Ko are the betting favorites this week at 11/1 (+1100), followed closely by Jin Young Ko and Atthaya Thitikul at 12/1 (+1200).

2022 Tour Championship at East Lake odds, starting positions, best bets and picks to win the FedEx Cup

Can Xander Schauffele bounce back and take home the FedEx Cup?

It’s time.

It’s time to crown the winner of the 2021-22 FedEx Cup. After his victory at the BMW Championship last week, Patrick Cantlay has vaulted from No. 7 in the FedEx Cup standings to No. 2, only behind Scottie Scheffler.

At this week’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, the leaderboard will be staggered. Players will start a certain amount of shots behind the world No. 1 depending on where they rank in the standings (the full leaderboard is detailed below).

The last three FedEx Cup champions: Patrick Cantlay (2021), Dustin Johnson (2020) and Rory McIlroy (2019).

Let’s jump into our final preview of the 2021-22 campaign.

Najee Harris is the favorite to be first RB drafted, per BetMGM

BetMGM has Najee Harris as the favorite over Clemson’s Travis Etienne t be the first running back selected in the 2021 NFL draft.

Former Alabama running back Najee Harris had an incredible final season with the Crimson Tide. As he prepares for the 2021 NFL draft, many wonder where he’ll begin his professional career.

Harris’ 2020 campaign proved that he is different from other running backs in his class.

In recent drafts, running backs have been seen as a position that should be targeted after the first round. However, Harris’ skills make him a very valuable player that could be off the board by the end of the first night of the draft.

There is only one other member of his positional class that has rivaled him for the ‘RB1’ spot: Clemson’s Travis Etienne.

BetMGM released their odds for who will be the first running back drafted, and they favor Harris over Etienne.

Odds courtesy of BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.

Here’s how the top three running backs rank:

  1. Najee Harris -140
  2. Travis Etienne +120
  3. Javonte Williams +650
