The FedExCup Fall begins this week with the 2026 Biltmore Championship Asheville. Players will be competing this fall to earn full PGA Tour status for the 2027 season, while some will also be tuning their games before the Presidents Cup. Below, we look at Biltmore Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions
before the first round begins Thursday at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Asheville, North Carolina.The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is a par-71 and 7,249 yards long. It's a relatively new course, opening in 2005 and was designed by Jack Nicklaus. With it being more than 2,000 feet above sea level, the ball will travel further at that elevation, making the course seem shorter.
Biltmore Championship expert picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores
and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 4 p.m. ET.
Jackson Koivun (+1400)
Koivun is the most talented player in the field and is a Presidents Cup captain's pick, so he's getting in his last work before heading to Medinah, Illinois, next week. He's first among all players in the field in SG: tee-to-green in the last three months, which shows how well he's been striking the ball compared to his competitors. At a new course on the PGA Tour schedule, lean on good ball-strikers.
Beau Hossler (+3300)
Hossler finished second in his last start at the Wyndham Championship, gaining a whopping 2.61 strokes on the greens. He also gained strokes off the tee and on approach, which gives him some positive momentum heading into this week's start. With five par 3s on the course, it helps that Hossler is second in par-3 scoring average this season.
Biltmore Championship picks – contenders
Billy Horschel (+5000)
Horschel's short game isn't great, but he's gained more strokes from tee to green than all but six players in the field over the last three months. He's No. 1 in SG: approach, which bodes well on the abundance of par 3s on this course.
Ben Kohles (+5000)
Kohles ranks fifth in SG: tee-to-green in the last three months and has finished 23rd and 27th in his last two Korn Ferry Tour starts. Looking for more official PGA Tour status in 2027, he'll need to play well this fall.
Biltmore Championship picks – long shots
Zac Blair (+8000)
Blair has struggled to get off the tee, ranking 103rd in the field in that department. However, he's third in SG: putting, eighth around the green and 11th in approach play.
William Mouw (+8000)
Mouw is the complete opposite of Blair, ranking 100th and 82nd in SG: putting and around the green, respectively. Where he excels is with his approach play, entering the week fourth in that category in the last three months.
