2026 Bank of Utah Championship predictions

One major surprise the model is calling for: Koivun, the overall favorite at +1200, stumbles and doesn't even finish in the top 3. He's a golfer to avoid this week. The PGA rookie out of Auburn won the 3M Open earlier this summer and is coming in off a strong performance at the Presidents Cup. He was the favorite in the Biltmore Championship to open the FedEx Cup Fall, however, and settled for T5 in that event. He also finished outside the top 20 in his other three points events since winning the 3M Open, so the model isn't high on his value this week.  See who else to fade here .

Another surprise: The model is high on McNealy at +2000, saying he's a strong win contender and a value top-5 bet. The 30-year-old out of Stanford had an extremely consistent 2026 campaign, making 19 of 21 cuts and finishing in the top 25 a dozen times. He played some of his best golf in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, finishing T19 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and T7 at the BMW Championship.  See who else to pick here .
