Top Zurich Classic Predictions for 2023

One big surprise the model is calling for at Zurich Classic 2023: Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, defending champions and heavyweights on the PGA odds table, fail to defend their titles. The duo recorded an event record of 29 under par across four rounds last year, but there are a number of Zurich Classic 2023 contenders ready to take revenge this year.

Billy Horschel and Sam Burns, who finished second in 2022, will return to the pitch this week. Homa and Morikawa teamed up together for the first time, posing a serious threat to the defending champions. There are also two teams that have stood together in every edition of the Zurich Classic (Charley Hoffman/Nick Watney and Kevin Tway/Kelly Kraft). In addition, since the Zurich Classic switched to a team format, no team has successfully defended its title at TPC Louisiana.

Another surprise: Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin, who were 28-1, won the title in a strong way. They have a much better chance of winning it all than their odds imply, so they are a target for anyone looking for a good payday. Taylor and Hadwin will be a dangerous couple this week, as Hadwin offers stability while Taylor has high ceilings.

Hadwin missed the opportunity only three times in 14 events this season, finishing in the top 15 at the Players Championship. He ranks 30th on the PGA Tour for driving accuracy, which should give his team an advantageous position at teeing off. Taylor has four finishes in the top 10 this season, including a second place finish at the WM Phoenix Open in February. See who else to choose here.
