A return to last year’s PGA Championship venue, Quail Hollow. This week, the venue will play host to a much lower stakes event, the Truist Championship.
After a few weeks off personally, we are back posting consistent weekly betting cards and other golf content until year’s end.
Here is 403 Golf’s Betting Card for the 2026 Truist Championship. Budget is set at 3 units for the week.
The Card
Outrights:
- Xander Schauffele +1000 (1U)
- Si Woo Kim +2400 (0.6U)
- Adam Scott +3200 (0.6U)
- Kurt Kitayama +4500 (0.4U)
- Taylor Pendrith E/W 5 plcs +11000 (0.4U)
Reasoning:
Reasoning:
Schauffele: He hasn’t won yet this year, but it’s coming. Contrary to last year, which was extremely disappointing, he appears to have found his game once again. In his last 7 starts, his results are T19, T7, T24, 3, T4, T9, and T12, and he’s consistently been gaining strokes off the tee and putting, which in 2025 were big areas of concern. Add in that this is a place where Schauffele has two runner up finishes since 2021 and one top 15. He also hasn’t played for two weeks, so he may be more refreshed and ready to go get it than others.
Si Woo Kim: Started the year in red hot form before cooling down near the end of the West Coast Swing, which lasted through the Masters, but he appears back. In his last two starts, he’s bounced right back to the top of the leaderboard with a solo third at the RBC Heritage and a T4 at the Cadillac Championship. Notably, he gained 1.73 strokes on approach last week, which was his best since the Farmers Insurance Open. Kim has also shown a liking for Quail Hollow recently, contending at the PGA Championship here last year and posting a T16 the year before that. Need a hot putting week to get across the line, but he’s been playing too good to not pick up a win at some point.
Scott: At 45 years old, Scott is playing some high caliber golf right now. He’s coming off a T4 at the Cadillac Championship where, if it wasn’t for a bad opening round that included a bizarre situation which saw him play the wrong ball, resulting in a 2 stroke penalty, he could have contended for the win. His approach play has been elite for awhile now. Just like Si Woo Kim, need to hope for a spike in putting this week.
Kitayama: Like Scott, Kitayama has had back to back solid outings, finishing T8 and T9 at the RBC Heritage and Cadillac Championship respectively. Additionally, he’s gained strokes on approach in every start this year. He doesn’t have the best course history here, but going with a guy who has shown flashes this year.
Pendrith: I don’t have any confidence in this pick. Pendrith has been horrible to this point in the season, as have his underlying numbers, but I’m taking a shot with the longer odds on a PGA Tour winner and someone who has had great success at Quail Hollow in recent years. Pendrith finished T5 at the 2025 PGA Championship here last year and T10 back in 2024.
Hoping for a fun leaderboard and a fun Sunday. Anything will be better than last week.
