John Deere Classic Betting Preview 2023

Golf betting tips for The John Deere Classic (in more detail):

Adam Schenk:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 30/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds). 

• Current form (last 5 starts): 2 – T7 – MC – MC – 7.

• Tournament form (last 4 starts): MC – T6 – T4 – WD.

Reasons to believe – Adam Schenk:

“Schenk has shown great form over the last few weeks, with three top-10 finishes, including a second place at Colonial. However, two missed cuts are a slight concern. He withdrew from this tournament last year, but has finished fourth and sixth in the two previous years, so knows how to play the course.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Denny McCarthy: 

• To win outright (2 points win @ 14/1).

• Current form (last 5 starts): 29 – MC – 2 – T20 – T7.

• Tournament form (last 4 starts): T34 – MC – MC – T6.

Reasons to believe – Denny McCarthy:

“McCarthy is a strong contender this week. He is a great putter, which is essential on this course. He is also in great form, and he finished sixth here last year. The only thing holding him back from being the top pick is that he has not won yet on Tour. However, he is knocking on the door, and I think he is ready to break through.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Russell Henley:

• To win outright (2 points win @ 14/1).

• Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T16 – T16 – T14 – T19.

• Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – 2 – T11 – DNP.

Reasons to believe – Russell Henley:

“Henley is another player who could have been a top pick this week. He has been in great form lately, with 8 top-20 finishes in his last 9 starts. He also leads the Tour stats in fairway hits, and he has a 2nd place and a T11 finish in his last two starts on this course. He has to be in the hunt come Sunday.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Emiliano Grillo:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 25/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): MC – 1 – T48 – MC – T15.

• Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – DNP – DNP – 2.

Reasons to believe – Emiliano Grillo:

“Grillo is a bit of a wild card. He can be up and down as a golfer, so you never know what you are going to get. However he won on Tour not so long ago and was T15 last week. He also finished second here last year, so he can’t be ruled out.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Eric Cole:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 33/1 – 8 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T24 – T6 – T39 – T24.

• Tournament form (last 4 starts): DNP – DNP – MC – DNP.

Reasons to believe – Eric Cole:

“Cole is not a massive price, but I had to put him in my line-up this week. This season has been full of great stories, with Jason Day and Rickie Fowler back to winning ways, and Chris Kirk winning the Honda (beating Cole in the play-off) after his personal problems. Cole winning would be another great story.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
