Waste Management Phoenix Open
February 9, 2023 10:00 am EDT
This Thursday, the first round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open will begin.
Before I discuss my favorite tournament matchup bet for the 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open let’s take a look at the current leaders in scoring average on the PGA Tour that are in this week’s field.
Top Five Golfers in Scoring Average
- Patrick Cantlay 67.25
- Jon Rahm 67.35
- Tom Kim 67.45
- Brian Harman 67.48
- Tony Finau 67.89
Now that we have established who the top five golfers with regard to scoring average are on the PGA Tour (in this week’s field) let’s shift our attention to my favorite tournament matchup bet for this week’s 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Collin Morikawa -120 over Jordan Spieth
Collin Morikawa arrives at this week’s PGA Tour event on the heels of two consecutive top three finishes on the PGA Tour, including a second place result at the 2023 Sentry Tournament Of Champions last month.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open field, in the last 12 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Collin Morikawa ranks first in GIR (greens in regulation), first in driving accuracy, and sixth in birdie or better percentage.
In summary, I am backing Collin Morikawa to defeat Jordan Spieth in this matchup bet.
