PGA Tour WWT Championship Betting Tips
El Cardonal Golf Course, Thursday 6th - 9th November
Top Picks
JJ Spaun ($14/Top 20 $1.70)
Spaun doesn’t always grab the headlines, but he’s shown a knack for stepping into contention when the pressure mounts. On a course like El Cardonal, where controlling tee shots and staying out of trouble matter, Spaun’s experience gives him upside at longer odds.
Ben Griffin ($14/Top 20 $1.70)
Griffin has quietly played very well this fall and is trending up. He may not have the marquee status of the super-stars, but his solid form and clean game make him a great candidate in this setting. With scoring chances available and a field where a few modest mis-steps could open the door, Griffin is primed to take advantage.
Value Picks
Austin Eckroat ($56/Top 30 $2.10)
The defending champion arrives with confidence and familiarity on his side. Eckroat won this event last year and showed he could handle the special demands of this course. With that experience, plus his improving ball striking and growing comfort on big occasions, he’s in a strong spot to contend again.
Stephan Jaeger ($71/Top 30 $2.30)
Jager comes in as one of those players you might not expect to win, but can definitely sneak into the mix. His approach play and ability to score on courses that allow birdie runs make him dangerous in a week where the leaderboard can flip quickly if someone gets hot.
The Field
The tournament field is set with roughly 120 players competing for full FedExCup points, status and momentum heading into next year. Many players here are fighting for secure status or trying to break into the 71-100 FedExCup range to lock in full access for 2026. That gives the week extra intensity and opportunity for surprise performances.
Because the venue is relatively newer to this slot, history isn’t as strong a guide as usual. That levels the playing field somewhat, meaning good form and course-fit may count more than legacy. Players who tee it up well early and stay consistent are likely to separate themselves.
Also worth noting: the mix includes veterans, rising stars and those with something to lose. That dynamic often leads to volatile leaderboards and the chance for a lesser-known name to surge. Given the setup, someone who finds a groove early could ride a wave to Sunday.
The Course
El Cardonal at Diamante plays as a par 72 stretching just over 7,450 yards, blending resort style playability with clever strategic touches. Fairways are wide and generous, but anything too far offline can leave players negotiating desert sand, uneven lies and native areas. The generous landing zones mean the course will likely lean toward an approach and putting contest.
Greens are large with subtle movement, rewarding high-quality iron play and touch on approach shots. In its previous appearance on the schedule, fairway and green hit rates were extremely high, meaning low scoring is very much on the table for those dialed in with wedges and mid-irons.
Wind can be a factor given the coastal setting, and players who flight the ball well and control distance will find success. Expect a winning score deep into the double digits under par with momentum and streaky scoring playing a huge role down the stretch.
