EA Sports PGA Tour vs PGA Tour 2K23 Compared: Which Is Better and Which Should You Buy?

Golfers have long clamored for an authentic and exhaustive golf video game to let them explore their sport virtually. With EA Sports PGA Tour and PGA Tour 2K23 both on the market, which is the best and which you should you buy?

EA Sports PGA Tour vs PGA Tour 2K23

We’re kicking off our comparison with what we consider the most important aspect: the gameplay. Put simply, which plays better, feels better and resembles golf better? In our opinion, the point here goes to EA Sports PGA Tour .

It’s not that PGA Tour 2K23’s gameplay is poor; in fact, it’s good. We find it smooth and comprehensive as well as intuitive and easy to learn. However, it can feel a little too easy to learn. Within hours of picking up 2K23 I was able to sink chips frequently, whip my tee shots around obstructive trees to find the middle of the fairway and easily get within inches of the pin regardless of the hole, conditions and clubs. It’s a slightly truncated version of golf, simple and quick (which does have its bonuses) but not exhaustive and granular.

That’s why EA Sports PGA Tour takes the point here. There’s countless shot types to piece together, a wealth of information to take into account on every shot and ball physics that feel realistic. PureStrike technology makes nearly every shot (see our criticism of pitches and chips) feel rewarding or punishing depending on how you played the shot. Anyone who’s played real golf knows that’s how the sport goes: within seconds of playing your shot you’ll know whether it’s on the right tracks or headed for disaster. That can lead to EA Sports PGA Tour feeling difficult and even merciless – but that is golf.

Golfers, Licenses, Courses & Modes

This round comes out as a tie for us. EA Sports PGA Tour, proudly ‘The Home of the Majors’, brings 28 brilliantly realized golfing environments to life and will bring more in the future. It also lets players try their hand in countless tournaments, from the rookie to the top level. These have official licenses and branding, adding to the ultra-realistic gameplay to emulate various tournaments excellently.

2K23 can offer the same in terms of the presence of the PGA Tour and over 20 officially licensed courses, but its courses aren’t quite as refined as EA’s. However, its community-built courses are certainly a counter. Players can create environments based on whatever they like — just the other day I enjoyed a full 18 holes set at Hogwarts. Another personal favorite is a post-apocalyptic Seattle course that’s straight out of The Last of Us.

Away from courses and licenses, there’s a plethora of ways to play in each title. From Career Mode to Quick Play and competitive matches online, both ensure you can play the way you want to. EA Sports does feel like a deeper dive, especially in Career Mode. I felt more like myself – with better character design options and swing customization – when I entered into tournaments. Hence, if you’re wanting to build your dynasty and cement yourself as the best golfer of all time, it probably edges 2K here — but that’s not to say you can’t do the same with their title.

In terms of golfers, it’s a mixed bag for both. There’s exclusive big names in each, but there’s also noticeable absences. 2K is the only one that has Tiger Woods. It also brings eclectic and enjoyable presences like Michael Jordan and Steph Curry, but EA Sports holds it own with the presence of stars like Jordan Spieth and Nelly Korda. Both games are clearly designed for players to use their own creations as much as possible.

Finally, a word on in-game stores and microtransactions are pertinent. We’re disappointed with both in this regard. Unsurprisingly given their track record with FIFA and Madden, the EA Sports PGA Tour store is thrust on players so egregiously it’s actually difficult to avoid in the average session. There’s real-life brands – TaylorMade, Ping, etc – front and center and there’s no denying that being willing to throw real-life money at the game will benefit you significantly.

This is when we’d love to be able to say 2K is the exact opposite; a utopia free of microtransactions. Unfortunately, 2K’s foray into golf also takes a leaf out of its NBA 2K book and incorporates large numbers of microtransactions, encouraging players to plough more money into the game. It feels cynical (as it does in EA’s title) so, with both disappointing in this regard, we’re chalking this entire round up as a draw.

Here, there’s a clear winner, and it’s PGA Tour 2K23. It’s certainly not a surprise given the newness of EA Sports’ PGA Tour, which only released in April of 2023. As a result, it’s down from its launch price ($79.99 / £69.99) and available for around $59.99 / £49.99 depending on the platform, version and retailer.

In contrast, PGA Tour 2K23 is available for as little as $19.99 / £14.99 depending on the platform and chosen retailer. We know this round is probably unfair on EA Sports’ game. 2K23’s release back in fall 2022 guaranteed it’d be cheaper at this point, and will probably stay that way for a while. Regardless, cost is undoubtedly a major factor for most players when buying a game, so it’s only natural to rank it on this basis. Point to 2K.

Each game has one round in the bag and the other’s a tie, so we might be at a crossroads. However, we do have advice for you. The game you choose should be dictated by how you intend to play and what you want out of your golf video game.

If you’re searching for a realistic and immersive golf game that is difficult, rewarding and exceptionally detailed, then it’s EA Sports PGA Tour that you want. It’s as faithful a golf game as there’s ever been, giving you a wealth of customization tools, truly remarkable commentary and beautiful courses.

If you’re after a simpler, quicker and downright easier golfing experience, then it’s PGA Tour 2K23 you’ll want to purchase. It’s the ideal title to play with friends as a social event, being able to get in a quick eighteen and see who comes out on top in what feels like arcade golf. You can even use the money you’ve saved to purchase Michael Jordan and play as basketball’s GOAT in the golfing world.

Hopefully, this guide on EA Sports PGA Tour and PGA Tour 2K23 has helped you decide where to invest and what you can get out of them. We can summarise it simply: EA Sports is better if you’re a golfer who wants to game, 2K is probably better if you’re a gamer who wants to golf.

The Four Golf Majors: A Complete Guide

Professional golf has an ironclad way of determining the greatest golfers of all-time: the four major championships. The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and British Open are the four pinnacle golf tournaments contested annually to distinguish the best golfers in the world. What differentiates these four events and where are they contested? Here is a guide to learn more.

The Masters

• DESCRIPTION Hideki Matsuyama receiving Masters green jacket
• SOURCE Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Sport

The Masters is the first major tournament of the year, traditionally held in early April an exception in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament is played at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Augusta National Golf Club was designed by legendary golfer Bobby Jones in 1930, and it was Jones' idea to hold a championship tournament at the course.

The first Masters was held in 1934 , and it has always been played at Augusta National Golf Club. The tournament is unique in that the winner is awarded a Green Jacket to signify his status as Masters champion.

The Masters also features an annual Par 3 contest on the eve of the tournament on Augusta National's Par 3 course . The Par 3 contest brings family members into the action and often includes players intentionally disqualifying themselves from contention, as no player has ever won the Par 3 event and gone on to win the Green Jacket.

The size of the Masters field is determined by 20 different qualification categories. Past champions, champions and top finishers of other the majors, the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Rankings, and champions of prestigious amateur events, including the U.S. Amateur, British Amateur, Asia-Pacific Amateur, Latin American Amateur and U.S. Mid-Amateur receive an invitation.

Horton Smith was the inaugural champion in 1934, while Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters wins in history with six (1963, '65, '66, '72, '75, '86).

Fun Fact: Magnolia Lane, the main road entrance to the clubhouse, is 330 yards long.

PGA Championship

• DESCRIPTION Phil Mickelson with PGA Championship trophy
• SOURCE Keyur Khamar/PGA Tour

The first PGA Championship was played in 1916, and it coincided with Walter Hagen and a small group of other professional golfers creating the Professional Golfers' Association of America .

When the PGA Championship was first introduced it was played as match play where competitors played each other one at a time as opposed to matching scores with the entire field. In 1958 the format was changed to stroke play, and that is how the PGA Championship has been played ever since. The event was traditionally held in August and was the final major of the year. That was, until 2019 when it was moved to the month of May.

The PGA Championship winner receives the Wanamaker Trophy , and Jim Barnes was the inaugural champion in 1916.

Interestingly, the PGA Championship is the only all-professional field of the four majors. There is no access to champions of prestigious amateur golf champions as the other three majors allow. Given this, the PGA Championship boasts the strongest field of any golf tournament.

While no amateurs are part of the PGA Championship, 20 PGA club pros qualify each year through the PGA Professional National Championship. Unlike when an amateur makes the cut at another major, the club pros who make the weekend get to cash a check just like the tour professionals.

Walter Hagen (1921, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927) and Jack Nicklaus (1963, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1980) are tied for the most PGA Championship victories with five each. Fun Fact: The age difference between the youngest and oldest winners at the time of victory is 30 years. Gene Sarazen won at the age of 20 in 1922 and Phil Mickelson won at age 50 in 2021.

U.S. Open Championship

• DESCRIPTION Jon Rahm with U.S. Open trophy

The United States Open Championship got its start on a small nine-hole golf course in Newport, Rhode Island in the summer of 1895. In the early days of competitive golf, the amateur championships were considered much more prestigious than the professional tournaments, so for many years, the U.S. Open Championship took a back seat to the United States Amateur Championship.

The U.S. Open started to take on significance around the 1910s when American golfers began to dominate throughout the world. The U.S. Open Championship is held each year in June and is played on some of the best golf courses that the United States has to offer. The U.S. Open is notorious for giving players the toughest test in golf. Course setups often include narrow fairways, rough that borders unplayable, and lightning-quick greens. While players annually bemoan the course setups, the one who best navigates the tricky conditions takes home the U.S. Open trophy .

Horace Rawlins was the inaugural U.S. Open Champion at Newport Country Club in 1895. Four players have won a record four U.S. Open Championships, including Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), Bobby Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930), Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953), Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980).

Fun Fact: The U.S. Open famously rotates sites, but in 2020 it was announced that Pinehurst No. 2 will be an anchor site for the event, hosting in 2024, 2029, 2035, 2041, and 2047.

The British Open

• DESCRIPTION Collin Morikawa at 2021 British Open
• SOURCE Charlie Crowhurst/R&A

The British Open is the oldest of all of the major professional golf tournaments. Officially known as the Open Championship, it began in Prestwick, Scotland in 1860. Since that time it has been commonly referred to as simply The Open, and it is circulated through several of the more prominent links golf courses in England and Scotland.

The most famous British Open venue remains The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. The Open was played there for the first time in 1873, and has been played there 26 more times since.

Willie Park Sr. was the first winner of the Open Championship in 1860, and Harry Vardon holds the record for most British Open Championships with six. The winner of the British Open receives the Claret Jug.

When And Where Are The Majors In 2023?

The dates and iconic venues hosting the showpiece men's and women's tournaments in 2023

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

After a year where some incredible stories unfolded across the nine Majors in the men's and women's game, 2023 promises more of the same as the game's legends, amateurs and present-day stars come together to compete for the world-famous trophies of the showpiece events. 

In 2023, there will be some venues hosting a Major for the first time, while other Majors will be returning to familiar and much-loved territory. In the men's game, players look to emulate Scottie Scheffler , Justin Thomas , Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Smith in taking home some of the game's biggest prizes. Meanwhile, in the women's game, players will aim to follow in the footsteps of 2022 winners Jennifer Kupcho, In Gee Chun, Minjee Lee , Brooke Henderson and Ashleigh Buhai.

Amid whatever upheaval is taking place in the game, the year's showpiece tournaments offer a reliable and familiar haven for four days of top-class action. Let’s look ahead to the 2023 Majors and the venues that will host them.

The Masters: Augusta National, USA

The Masters is the only men's Major with a permanent home, so Augusta National once again hosts the first of the year. Just as its home is reliable, so is its place in the calendar, beckoning spring since 1948 with the final round scheduled – with some notable exceptions – for the second Sunday in April.

There is always much to look forward to at the Masters, with the venue and traditions every bit as vital to the tournament’s appeal as the action that unfolds on the flower-laden course. Augusta National is, of course, immaculate. Then there's the family-oriented Par-3 Tournament that precedes the main event, the members adorned in their iconic Green Jackets, the boiler suits worn by caddies - the list of quirks and traditions associated with Augusta National is long.

The action shouldn’t be bad either, with Augusta National allowing LIV Golf players to tee it up among some of the current best players plying their trade elsewhere, former winners and amateurs. The tournament will also be the first where players will experience the extended 13th hole , which has become a source of controversy in recent years as driving distances have increased. Considering everything, it is hard to imagine the potential for a more iconic and dramatic start for the year’s Majors.

• Dates - 6-9 April

The PGA Championship: Oak Hill Country Club, USA

Unlike the Masters, the PGA Championship has been moved around the calendar many times through the years. For now, though, it has settled into the weekend before the USA's Memorial Day, meaning in 2023, the action gets under way on 18 May at the scene of three previous PGA Championships, Oak Hill Country Club’s East Course in Rochester, New York.

There is no doubt the venue is befitting of such a prestigious tournament. The club, which was established in 1901, began as a nine-hole course with a converted farmhouse for a clubhouse. In 1921, the club’s location changed along with its fate as it moved to a larger 355-acre plot. 

The course, originally designed by Donald Ross , has had several renovations since, most recently in 2019, by Andrew Green. His work ensured it was brought closer to Ross’s original design, leaving narrow fairways, gentle doglegs, and sizeable elevation changes. The signature 13-hole also features the Hill of Fame, which honours the game’s greats. Back at the grand mock Tudor clubhouse, visitors will find the Wall of Champions honouring every player to win a championship at the club.

• Dates - 18-21 May

The US Open: Los Angeles Country Club, USA

After the 2022 US Open at the Country Club of Brookline , Massachusetts, the 2023 tournament moves to the opposite side of the country for Los Angeles Country Club’s Major debut, with the action taking place on the North Course. While the venue is unfamiliar, the date is not – the last round is scheduled for the third Sunday of June. As ever with the US Open, players can expect to find a long course with tight fairways and difficult rough.

Until recently, the private club - which was established in 1897 and moved to its present Beverly Hills location 14 years later - had chosen not to host big tournaments. That changed when it opened its doors for the 2017 Walker Cup. Several players involved in that tournament are likely to compete, including Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler.

Meanwhile, players will be treated to spectacular views of downtown Los Angeles on the signature 11th hole of a course redesigned by Gil Hanse in 2010 following five years of work to bring it closer to George Thomas’s original design. Five years later, in March 2015, a 16-month renovation began on the historic clubhouse.

• Dates - 15-18 June

The Open: Royal Liverpool Golf Club, England

The Wirral’s Royal Liverpool Golf Club is one of 14 venues that have hosted The Open in its 150 tournaments. After first hosting in 1897, it will be the venue for the 13th time in 2023 as the tournament takes place in its familiar mid-July place in the calendar.

Despite hosting the tournament frequently over the years, Royal Liverpool had a 39-year gap between events after 1967. However, after changes were made to the tees, bunkers and greens, the oldest Major in the world returned to the venue in 2006, where Tiger Woods claimed his third and most recent Open title after losing his father Earl just two months earlier. He famously sobbed on the shoulder of Steve Williams after holing his final putt. Royal Liverpool most recently held The Open in 2014 where, on another memorable occasion, Rory McIlroy edged out Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia for his first, and to date, only Open title. 

More renovation work has been carried out at the course to prepare for the 2023 tournament, including constructing a new par 3 15th, which will play as the 17th hole during the tournament. Players will encounter difficult bunkering requiring accurate driving on a pristine course nestled at the tip of the Wirral peninsula.

• Dates - 20-23 July

The Chevron Championship: The Club at Carlton Woods, USA

Two weeks after the first men’s Major of the year, the Masters, the first of five women’s Majors, The Chevron Championship, takes place at The Club at Carlton Woods in Houston, Texas for the first time. 

That marks a clear break with tradition as the tournament had been held at Mission Hills Country Club in California from its inception in 1972 to last year. Jennifer Kupcho proved to be the final winner of the trophy at that venue, holding off the challenge of Jessica Korda by two shots for her maiden Major title and prize money of $750,000. 

The date of the 2023 tournament is also different from usual. While it has traditionally been played in late March or early April, in 2023, it moves to the second half of April for the first time. The action will take place on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, which opened in 2001 to huge acclaim. Players will be confronted with undulating greens, plenty of bunkers and lakes in its lush parkland setting.

• Dates - 20-23 April

KPMG Women’s PGA Championship: Baltusrol Golf Club, USA

After last year’s event at Bethesda in Maryland, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship moves to Springfield, New Jersey’s Baltusrol Golf Club for the first time as the second women’s Major of the year gets under way one week after the men’s third, the US Open. 

The course is no stranger to Majors, though, and has hosted the US Women’s Open twice, most recently in 1985 when Kathy Baker claimed victory. On that occasion, the tournament was held at the Upper Course, whereas 2023 will see the tournament play out at the Lower Course - the scene of the vast majority of Majors that have taken place at the club over the years.

The Lower Course is the less hilly of the two, but the wide fairways are still gently undulating as they approach tricky contoured greens. The course has also hosted the men’s US Open four times and PGA Championship twice, most notably when Phil Mickelson won the Wanamaker Trophy for the first time in 2005. 

With such a memorable history of hosting big events, it's a suitably storied venue for such a showpiece occasion.

• Dates - 22-25 June

US Women's Open: Pebble Beach, USA

The 78th edition of the US oldest women’s Major, the US Women’s Open, takes place at one of the world’s most iconic courses, Pebble Beach in California, for the first time in the tournament’s history. 

The venue isn’t the only change about the 2023 tournament, either. The date has also been moved. After taking place the week after the USA’s Memorial Day since 2018, it moves further on in the calendar in 2023, to 6 July. 

The course, which will also host the tournament in 2035, 2040 and 2045 , is a challenge to the world’s best players and is known for its small greens. It also features one of the most photographed holes in the world – the iconic par 3 7th, which juts out towards the Pacific Ocean, leaving many a player's tee shots at the mercy of its frequently brutal and unpredictable winds.

• Dates - 6-9 July

Evian Championship: Evian Resort Golf Club, France

After the decision to change the venue for the Chevron Championship, the fourth women's Major of the year is the only one that can now claim a single home across its history – the Evian Resort Golf Club in France, where the tournament has been held since it began in 1994. Having been held in June, July and September in the past, the tournament found a regular late-July slot in 2019, which is where it remains for the 2023 tournament.

Last year, Brooke Henderson became the first Canadian to win the tournament. She claimed the title in enthralling fashion after getting to grips with a picturesque course, situated on the banks of Lake Geneva, that features fast greens, thick rough, and jaw-dropping views of the nearby Alps.

AIG Women’s Open: August Walton Heath, England

The final women’s Major of the year, the AIG Women’s Open, will take place at Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, over the second weekend of August – one weekend later than the 2022 tournament. 

It will mark the first time the tournament has been held at the course, and the first time the tournament has been held in England since 2019 at Woburn. Walton Heath - as its names suggests - is an acclaimed heathland affair that was once described by Jack Nicklaus as "wonderfully pure". 

The course was also the venue for the 2011 men’s Senior Open, but it's perhaps best known as the venue for the 1981 Ryder Cup, where Europe suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the USA.

After the final putt drops on at Walton Heath on Sunday 13 August, the curtain will come down on another huge year of Majors where, no doubt - across nine tournaments, 36 rounds and less than five months - many more stories of triumph and heartache, to be recalled for years to come, will have been written. 

• Dates - 10-13 August

Tour Confidential: Who will captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team?

Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker at the 2019 Presidents Cup in Australia.

C heck in  every week  for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest topics in the sport, and join the conversation by tweeting us at  @golf_com . Thi s week, we discuss the Ryder Cup captaincy, Rory McIlroy’s return to tournament golf, the fourth LPGA major of the year and more.

With the Fourth of July and the red, white and blue on our mind, let’s look ahead to the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. The Americans are still without a captain. Who do you think it will be? [ Update : The PGA of America said on Monday it will announce the U.S. Ryder Cup captain at 12 p.m. ET on Tuesday in New York.]

Jessica Marksbury, senior editor ( @jess_marksbury) : It has to be Tiger, right? That is the only reason I can think of for such a lengthy delay. Unless it was supposed to be Tiger and he doesn’t want the job for some reason, and now they’re scrambling.

Josh Berhow, managing editor ( @Josh_Berhow ): Tiger said at Valhalla they were still working through that conversation and he was deciding if he had the time to fully commit to it… but that was almost two months ago now. As our Sean Zak wrote back in April , they were way behind schedule in naming a captain then (and now even more behind). If the PGA of America is waiting on Tiger to decide, at some point he has to stop holding everyone hostage. I still think Tiger might do it, but if Tiger isn’t the guy, someone like Steve Stricker might be a good fit. He led the U.S. to a big win the last time they were on home soil. Plus, after last year’s disaster, he might be the man to get the Americans back on track.

Ryan Barath, senior editor ( @rdsbarath ): Logic and history shows us that it should have been Phil, but after the last few years that ship completely sailed and I think Tiger is the obvious choice. Now if Mr. Woods continues to cause delays in the process as reported, I think it could default to Stricker as suggested by Josh, which in my opinion would be a real letdown for the event.

Berhow : I don’t know if I’d call it a letdown. Bethpage will already be an awesome home venue, and even if Tiger isn’t a captain he might be an assistant or even a captain’s pick. But if Tiger doesn’t captain this one it’s not like it will never happen — his time just gets pushed back another two (or four?) years.

Rory McIlroy returns this week to defend his title at the Genesis Scottish Open, which will be his first start since his runner-up finish at the U.S. Open and decision to take some time away from the game . How do you think Rory will play at the Scottish and, more importantly, a week later at the final major of the year?

Marksbury : I expect Rory to show up and perform as well as he has been — maybe even win! He’s the defending champ at the Scottish, after all. And his track record at the Open is encouraging, with five top-six finishes since 2016, coupled with his win in 2014. Mentally, though, I suppose it’s hard to tell how long he may need to recover from the U.S. Open. Three weeks of rest went by in a flash. I hope he was able to get the decompression and processing time that he needed.

Berhow : I think he’ll play really well this week and wouldn’t be surprised to see him motivated enough to win. It’s not like he’s been playing poorly — he just missed a pair of crucial short putts late and lost a major. I’m not worried about this week. But the week after? Royal Troon is the last major of the year. If he has any lasting nerves or ends up putting too much pressure on himself, I think it happens then more than it would this week, which seems like a good low-stress spot to return. But I still expect him to play well at The Open. He’s struggled to win majors this last decade, not contend.

Barath : I’ll be blunt — I fully expect Rory to show up in full ass-kicker mode. Do I want him to win? Maybe, but I also would rather see him win The Open, so if he plays well but doesn’t win, I still consider that a very good omen going into the final major of the year.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Phil Mickelson said he doesn’t believe a PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger is “necessary” for the future of pro golf , arguing that what’s happened thus far — PGA Tour Signature Events, player equity and pros (like Bryson DeChambeau) expanding their brands — has already benefited both leagues. “The competition that both tours are providing is elevating both tours,” he said. “So is it necessary that there’s a merger? Probably not. But it would be a good thing if there wasn’t any hostility.” Do you agree with him?

Marksbury : Is it necessary ? I guess not. Both the Tour and LIV will continue to exist. But I think it’s fair to say that LIV players like Jon Rahm would probably appreciate a meeting of the minds — at the very least to forge a path toward creating more World-Ranking point opportunities for LIV players. And from a fan’s perspective, we certainly want to see more tournaments where all the world’s best players are in one place.

Berhow : He’s right that it helped the PGA Tour add Signature Events and the player equity program (making the rich richer), but it certainly didn’t help the overall product by taking away some key players. Two diluted tours is not the path forward. If they played together something like eight times a year (instead of just the majors) you could argue that’s enough. But seeing the best players in the world play the same tournaments just four times in a calendar year is not what’s best for the sport and its fans.

Barath : To Josh’s point, the best players need to play the best players more often than four times a year, and right now the separation is only harming the PGA Tour and elevating the majors even more. It’s a great thing for the majors but not great for general fan interest, and if the “rich want to get richer” they better get some more eyeballs on regular events.

‘Calm down Davis’: Thompson sets John Deere scoring record for first PGA Tour win

After six wins in seven starts, World No. 1 Nelly Korda has missed the cut in her last three events. She should be back in action this week at the Evian Championship, the fourth of five majors, assuming she’s able to play following her recovery from a dog bite that forced her to withdraw from an Aramco Team Series event. Do you see Korda getting back on track in France?

Marksbury : Given the form Nelly displayed earlier this year, I can only believe that the MCs were a total aberration. She has a good run going at Evian, with two top-nine finishes in her last two appearances. I like her chances to contend for major No. 3.

Berhow : I do. I don’t know if I’ll predict that she wins, since winning is hard, but Nelly missing a fourth straight cut seems so unlikely. She had never even missed three in a row until now! I think she’ll contend. Hopefully she’s healthy and can play.

Barath : Making the assumption that any injury was just minor and withdrawing was simply out of precaution, I expect Nelly to contend at the Evian. Every player usually has a few weeks a year where the game decides to leave for what feels like no reason, but at her level I don’t see it lasting the rest of the year.

Let’s end on an easy one. We are biased, but few things are better than a holiday weekend round on the links. What’s your favorite value golf course you’ve ever played?

Marksbury : Pretty much any Phoenix-area course fits the bill in the summer. If you can take the 115-degree daytime temps, you can get some smokin’ deals on top-tier courses. My favorite muni lately, though, is a nine-hole executive course owned by the City of Phoenix called Palo Verde that I can walk with my kids. Green fees top out at 25 bucks, and kids are $5. A new fave!

Berhow: Keller Golf Course ($53 walking) just outside of St. Paul, Minn., a muni I love that I haven’t played in over two years. I’m changing that soon.

Barath : I’ve touted this place many times before, and I’ll say it again — my local Norfolk Golf Club is a fun nine-hole test that tops out under 3,000 yards and has a history with classic Canadian architect Stanley Thompson. The fact that it can be looped in under 90 minutes most afternoons makes it one of my favorite spots to play.

2024 Scottish Open odds, picks, field: Surprising predictions from golf model that's called 13 majors

Sportsline's proven model simulated the genesis scottish open 2024 10,000 times and revealed its surprising pga tour golf picks.

Rory McIlroy enters the 2024 Scottish Open ranked third in the FedEx Cup standings after securing two victories and five top-10 finishes this season. He's the defending champion of this event and he's coming off a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open. McIlroy will certainly be among the top 2024 Scottish Open contenders when play gets underway from The Renaissance Club on Thursday, July 11. McIlroy, a 26-time PGA Tour champion, is listed as the 7-1 favorite in the 2024 Scottish Open odds. 

He's followed by Xander Schauffele (8-1), Collin Morikawa (12-1), Ludvig Aberg (14-1) and Viktor Hovland (20-1) on the PGA odds board. Should your Scottish Open 2024 picks include backing one of the favorites, or should you target a longshot like Adam Scott (80-1) or Will Zalatoris (90-1)? Before locking in your 2024 Scottish Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up well over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns. 

Now with the 2024 Scottish Open field locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard .

Top 2024 Scottish Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Scottish Open 2024: Viktor Hovland, the reigning FedEx Cup champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top 10. Hovland has managed to secure just one top-10 finish this season, a T-3 showing at the PGA Championship in May. 

Hovland's struggles can be directly attributed to his inability to score. Despite ranking inside the top 10 in strokes gained: off the tee (0.671) and putting average (1.712), Hovland has a scoring average of 70.38 this season, which ranks 107th on the PGA Tour. He's also finished T-25 or worse in each of his last two starts at the Scottish Open, which doesn't bode well for Hovland's chances to finish on top of the leaderboard. See who else to fade here .

Another surprise: Corey Conners, a massive 45-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

In order to score well at The Renaissance Club, players will need to be extremely accurate with their irons and few do it better than Conners. The 32-year-old Canadian enters this week's event ranked fourth in strokes gained: approach to green (0.854) and seventh in greens in regulation percentage (70.90%). He's also been accurate off the tee, ranking 17th in total driving (105) and 23rd in driving accuracy (69.07%). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2024 Scottish Open bets.  See who else to back here . 

How to make 2024 Scottish Open picks

The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 30-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big.  You can only see the model's picks here .

Who will win the 2024 Scottish Open, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the Scottish Open 2024 odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected Scottish Open leaderboard , all from the model that's nailed 13 golf majors, including the last three Masters and all three majors this year.

These 10 amateurs have made 13 cuts so far on the PGA Tour in 2024

The amateurs are shining bright in 2024.

So far this PGA Tour season, a total of 10 amateurs have made the cut 13 times, with two of these hotshot upstarts – Neal Shipley and Luke Clanton – turning the trick at two different events.

Shipley has one up on Clanton in 2024 by making the cut at two majors: the Masters and the U.S. Open.

Nick Dunlap, of course, one-upped all the ams in 2024 as he's the one with a victory, at the American Express back in January. He's on the very short list of just eight golfers to win a PGA Tour event as an amateur. His win in the Southern California desert seemed to foretell things to come.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic had two amateurs make the cut. The U.S. Open, annually the sternest test in golf, saw three ams make the weekend, the most of any of the 30 tournaments so far in 2024.

Would-be winnings

Ams don't get paid if they make the cut but if these guys did pocket the money from the finishing positions they posted, they would have taken home $2,990,505.
