Expert Picks and Predictions from Major Sites

PGA Tour / Golfbet experts lean toward strong putters and recent form in what is expected to be a birdie-fest on the paspalum greens.

Multiple analysts back Ben Griffin as the outright winner, citing his course record, short-game strength, and recent T4.

Kris Ventura (+3500 to +4000) is a popular value play after finishing T2 last week in Vallarta.

Pierceson Coody, Ben Kohles, and Marco Penge also receive strong mentions for top-10 or outright bets.

BetMGM / Jason Sobel: Sees value in Griffin and Gerard at +1400 but prefers longer shots such as Ventura and Neal Shipley for higher upside.

GOLF.com: Highlights Blades Brown, Steven Fisk, and Seamus Power as strong longer-priced options with good recent form and course-appropriate games.

Golf Channel: Notes Gerard as the pre-tournament favorite at several books and flags Kris Ventura and Pierceson Coody as solid plays.

Other consensus: Expect low scores. The projected winning total is around 24-under or lower.

Course history favors players who putt well on paspalum, including past standouts like Sami Valimaki and Garrick Higgo.

Recent Champions at El Cardonal

2025: Ben Griffin (–29)

2024: Austin Eckroat (–24)

2023: Erik van Rooyen (–27)

Griffin’s 29-under performance last year set a high bar, but the course continues to yield very low scores when conditions allow.
