The FedEx Cup Fall series continues Thursday, Oct. 29, with the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta in Vallarta, Mexico. The tournament offers a $6 million purse and 500 FedEx Cup Fall points. Since joining the PGA Tour in 2022, the event has been won by Jon Rahm, Tony Finau, Jake Knapp and Brian Campbell.
Betting Favorites
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, world No. 5 Wyndham Clark opens as the favorite at +1200. Tom Kim and Ben James are next at +1600, followed by Doug Ghim at +2000 and Johnny Keefer and Ben Griffin at +2200. Marco Penge is listed at +2500, while Corey Conners sits at +2700.
Model Predictions
SportsLine's proprietary computer model, built by DFS professional Mike McClure, simulated the tournament 10,000 times. The model has correctly predicted 17 major championships, including the 2026 Masters — its fifth consecutive Masters pick — as well as the 2025 PGA Championship and Open Championship.
One notable projection: the model is not high on Marco Penge despite his +2500 odds, forecasting he will not finish in the top 10. Penge has not recorded a finish better than T10 since March and most recently placed T68 at the Bank of Utah Championship.
Conversely, the model identifies Ben James at +1600 as a top-two win contender and a value top-five bet. The 23-year-old University of Virginia product posted a strong second half of the season, highlighted by a top-25 at the U.S. Open and T15-or-better finishes at the ISCO Championship, Corales Puntacana Championship, Wyndham Championship, Biltmore Championship Asheville and Bank of Utah Championship.
The model also highlights a longshot around +3500 poised for a strong run up the leaderboard. Full projected leaderboard and picks are available via SportsLine.
