Biltmore Championship Asheville betting favorites
This week’s Biltmore Championship kicks off the FedEx Fall series of events, where players will fight to improve their PGA Tour status for next year.
But the player who starts the week as betting favorite has already locked up his Tour card for the next two seasons. Rookie Jackson Koivun, 21, is the pre-tournament favorite in Asheville with +1350 odds-to-win.
After finishing T23 at the 2026 U.S. Open in his final start as an amateur, Koivun turned pro and immediately earned access to Tour events through the PGA Tour University Accelerated program.
In just his third start as a pro, he won the 3M Open, earning $1.584 million and securing his two-year PGA Tour exemption. Two months later, he’s a betting favorite.
Trailing just behind Koivun in the pre-tournament betting odds for the Biltmore Championship is Jacob Bridgeman (+1850), who also earned his first Tour win earlier this year. He’s followed by Ben James, who comes into the week with +2400 odds-to-win.
Filling out the top 5 are Doug Ghim (+2500) and Davis Thompson (+2600).
