2021 Houston Open odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions from model that’s nailed seven majors

Written by on November 8, 2021

The 2021-22 PGA Tour schedule rolls on this week as the 2021 Houston Open tees off from Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas on Thursday, Nov. 11. The 2021 Houston Open field features an impressive mix of major champions and up-and-coming stars. Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka and Adam Scott are among the major champions set to play this week, while Carlos Ortiz is set to defend his title. The winner of the Houston Open 2021 will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.

Caesars Sportsbook lists Sam Burns as the 16-1 favorite in the latest 2021 Houston Open odds. The 25-year-old American is followed by Scottie Scheffler (18-1), Sungjae Im (22-1), Cameron Smith (25-1), Matthew Wolff (25-1) and Tony Finau (25-1) on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2021 Houston 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 last June. In fact, it’s up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

Last week at the 2021 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, the model was all over Viktor Hovland (18-1) winning his third PGA Tour title. 

At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. He was also all over Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) finishing inside the top-20. McClure’s best bets netted over $2,200 at the 2021 Open Championship.

In addition, McClure’s model was all over Jon Rahm’s (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm’s (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners’ (+550) top-10 showing.  

This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2021 Houston Open field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2021 Houston Open leaderboard.

The model’s top 2021 Houston Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 Houston Open: Sungjae Im, a two-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 10. The 23-year-old is off to a strong start this season, winning the Shriners Children’s Open and securing a top-10 finish at the CJ Cup. 

However, Im struggled mightily at the Houston Open in 2020, finishing T-50 after shooting three-over par. Plus, Im has been extremely inconsistent with his putter this season, entering this week’s tournament ranked 176th in total putting (262.7) and 106th in one-putt percentage (42.13). His inability to drain putts, coupled with his ineffectiveness at Memorial Park Golf Course doesn’t bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Houston Open 2021 field.

Another surprise: Joaquin Niemann, a 30-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s one of the 2021 Houston Open picks you should be all over.

Niemann certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 23-year-old is coming off a top-five finish at the World Wide Technology Championship last week and he enters this week’s event ranked inside the top-50 in a number of important statistical categories, including birdie average (4.75) and scoring average (70.258). If he’s striking the ball well this week, he’ll have a great shot at finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2021 Houston Open.

How to make 2021 Houston Open picks

The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds longer than 28-1 who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see them here.
