Bank of Utah Championship Golf Predictions, Odds and PGA Tour Picks for Thursday, 10/23/25

Lightning could strike twice for McCarty, who will return to Utah full of confidence after he carded a final-round 60 to share 14th place at the Baycurrent Classic in his most recent PGA Tour start. The Arizona native, who is a superb putter, is well-suited to desert golf, as he demonstrated last year.

Michael Thorbjornsen’s claims are similarly obvious, but arguably only tournament favorite Maverick McNealy has a better chance of lifting this title. Thorbjornsen opened with a 67 at Black Desert 12 months ago, before a neck problem forced him to withdraw during the 2nd round. He has since become a regular PGA Tour contender, finishing 4th in the Rocket Mortgage Classic in June and 3rd at the Baycurrent last time out.

The winner will be required to make plenty of putts, and Taylor Montgomery should have no issues in that regard. Based just over the border in Las Vegas, Nevada, Montgomery was in horrendous form when missing the cut in this event last year, but he has been much improved in recent months. After finishing 8th at the ISCO Championship and 12th in the 3M Open, he was a Korn Ferry Tour runner-up in Utah in August, then 6th at the Sanderson Farms on his last start.
