2026 Biltmore Championship Kicks Off FedEx Cup Fall in Asheville

The 2026 Biltmore Championship is set to commence on Thursday at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, marking the start of the FedEx Cup Fall series. This series of tournaments is crucial for players outside the top 50 in points standings as they aim to secure their PGA Tour cards for the following year.

Jackson Koivun, a rookie golfer, is currently favored to win with odds of +1300, followed by Jacob Bridgeman at +1800, and both Doug Ghim and Davis Thompson at +2500. Koivun, who recently withdrew from the event, has not performed well in his last few tournaments, failing to finish better than T29 in his last three outings.

In contrast, the model predicts Ben James, with odds of +2700, as a strong contender for a top finish, highlighting his recent successes including a top-25 finish at the U.S. Open. The model also identifies a longshot at around +4000 that could make a significant impact in the tournament.
