Major season continues with the 2023 PGA Championship, which tees off Thursday, May 18 at Oak Hill Country Club. Major championships present a conundrum for anyone setting 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings. There will be dozens of elite players available for your 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf lineups, like Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, who will continue their battle for world No. 1. Past champions like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka also will be among the options for your 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf picks. Before setting your 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings or making any 2023 PGA Championship picks, you need to see the Fantasy golf projections and lineup advice from SportsLine Fantasy expert Jim Holliman.
Holliman has been on a roll since last season, and he was all over Tony Finau to win the Mexico Open at Vidanta, tabbing him as his top pick. The expert had Finau and Jon Rahm in his top three, even though Finau hadn’t finished in the top 15 since February. Holliman wasn’t fazed, saying the 33-year-old “should find his footing this week.” He certainly did that, going 24 under par and prevailing over world No. 1 Rahm by three strokes. In addition, longshot play Eric Cole (+10000) posted a top-five finish in the Mexico Open.
The expert also nailed the Masters when he backed Rahm as his top choice, and six of Holliman’s top eight picks at the RBC Heritage finished in the top 15, including winner Matt Fitzpatrick. At the Valspar, the expert was on Taylor Moore (+5000), who hadn’t finished higher than 35th in his previous three outings. Holliman also backed Scheffler to win the Players Championship at +1000 and was behind Chris Kirk at the Honda Classic, backing the +2500 shot before his first victory since 2015. Anyone who has followed Holliman’s predictions is way up on their golf picks.
Now, Holliman has ranked his top golfers for his 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings. You can only see his Fantasy golf rankings and PGA Championship 2023 picks at SportsLine.
2023 PGA Championship Fantasy golf picks
One player Holliman is firmly backing at Oak Hill is Scottie Scheffler. It’s hard to find many holes in Scheffler’s golf game right now. The 26-year-old enters the PGA Championship 2023 ranked first in numerous statistical categories, including strokes gained off the tee (1.029), strokes gained tee-to-green (2.270) and greens in regulation percentage (73.99%).
Scheffler also ranks 28th in putting average (1.725) and has finished 12th or better in his last 11 starts on the PGA Tour, which includes victories at the WM Phoenix Open and Players Championship, two designated events. He secured a top-10 finish at the Masters and will be eager to atone for missing the cut at last year’s PGA Championship. See who else to back at SportsLine.
On the other hand, Holliman is completely fading Justin Thomas, nearly leaving the defending champ out of his top 10. The two-time PGA champ was impressive in shooting 67 on Sunday and going 2-under in a three-hole playoff with Will Zalatoris to close out last year’s victory. However, Thomas is nowhere near that form now. The 30-year-old had 10 top-10 finishes last season, but has just two in 2022-23. His accuracy has been off and Holliman says “he’s looking at maybe a top-15 finish.” Thomas barely cracks the expert’s top 10. See who else to fade at SportsLine.
How to set your 2023 PGA Championship Fantasy golf lineups
For the PGA Championship 2023, Holliman is backing several longshots in his 2023 PGA Championship fantasy golf lineups, with one of his top 10 players priced well over 30-1. He also is getting behind a longshot player priced at almost 100-1, saying, “If (he) is going to win a major, this is the one.” You can find out who it is, and check out Holliman’s 2023 PGA Championship fantasy rankings, only at SportsLine.
