SportsLine’s projection model ran the 2026 Memorial Tournament 10,000 times and identified Russell Henley at +3000 as a contender while projecting Cameron Young at +1600 to miss the top five.
The simulation comes ahead of Thursday’s start at Muirfield Village in Columbus, Ohio, where 47 of the top 50 players in FedEx Cup points are scheduled to tee off.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the +300 favorite after winning the last two Memorials and posting top-three finishes in four of his last five starts, with Rory McIlroy next at +1000.
SportsLine said the model also highlights three other longshots at +3000 or longer to climb the leaderboard, extending a track record it says includes 17 major calls entering weekends.
