2026 Biltmore Championship Expert Picks
The following odds are via BetMGM Sportsbook and were updated Monday.
Top Pick: Jackson Koivun (+1400)
Jackson Koivun is the standout pick in the field based on recent ball-striking form.
He ranks first among players in strokes gained: tee-to-green over the last three months. Koivun is also a Presidents Cup captain's pick, adding to his profile as one of the tournament's leading players.
Strong Value: Beau Hossler (+3300)
Beau Hossler offers strong value at +3300.
Hossler finished second in his most recent start at the Wyndham Championship. He gained 2.61 strokes putting in that event while also gaining strokes off the tee and on approach.
He ranks second in par-3 scoring average this season, which could be important on a course featuring five par 3s.
2026 Biltmore Championship Contender Picks
Billy Horschel (+5000)
Billy Horschel has strong recent ball-striking numbers. He ranks near the top of the field in strokes gained: tee-to-green over the past three months and is No. 1 in strokes gained: approach.
His iron play could give him an advantage on a course with five par 3s.
Ben Kohles (+5000)
Ben Kohles is another player worth considering at +5000.
He ranks fifth in strokes gained: tee-to-green over the last three months and has posted solid recent Korn Ferry Tour results, finishing 23rd and 27th.
Kohles is also looking to improve his PGA Tour status heading into the 2027 season.
2026 Biltmore Championship Long-Shot Picks
Zac Blair (+8000)
Zac Blair is available at +8000 and brings impressive short-game statistics.
He ranks third in strokes gained: putting, eighth around the green and 11th in approach play. His biggest weakness has been his performance off the tee.
William Mouw (+8000)
William Mouw is another long-shot option at +8000.
Mouw ranks fourth in strokes gained: approach over the last three months, giving him one of the stronger iron-game profiles in the field.
His inconsistent short game remains a concern, but his approach play makes him an intriguing value pick.
2026 Biltmore Championship Prediction
Jackson Koivun (+1400) is the preferred pick to win the inaugural Biltmore Championship.
