Wells Fargo Championship 2023 Betting Preview
The 2023 Wells Fargo Championship is another Elevated Event with a $20 million prize pool. World No. 1 Jon Rahm and No. 2 Scottie Scheffler are taking the week off. But 21 of the top players in the world golf rankings are teeing it up at Quail Hollow, including 3-time event winner and World No. 3 Rory McIlroy. My golf coverage is limited this week, but I did chip in some insight and Wells Fargo Championship preview along with dark horse picks for FanDuel.
I add favorites and longshots below along with a tournament match-up pick.
