PGA Championship First-Round Leader Pick: The AI Bot Targets an Early Mover (Wednesday May 13, 2026)

Tee times are confirmed for the PGA Championship and the Twister Tipster AI Golf Predictor has locked in its first-round leader selections.

The model — which has returned +30.37pts profit and a 114.6% ROI across its first two tournaments, including finding Hojgaard at 50/1 for a place last week — has identified two FRL plays for today’s opening round. We’re sharing one here. The second pick, plus a glory double opportunity that returns over £1,000 on a £2.50 stake, is live now on the Twister Tipster Substack. Subscribe there for regular AI golf bot picks.


🏌️ XANDER SCHAUFFELE — 1pt each-way FRL @ 33/1 (7 places)

Schauffele is already on our outright card this week and the FRL model is entirely consistent with that view. He draws an 8:29am tee time — out early before wind and showers build through the afternoon — and his first-round leader profile is one of the strongest in the field. At 33/1 with 7 places on offer this is exceptional each-way value for a player who arrives at a major as one of the genuine title contenders.

The model likes him to go low early. So do we.

Bet: 1pt each-way @ 33/1 — 7 places


The second FRL pick is on the Substack PLUS some MASSIVE odds glory doubles!

It is a player with the strongest non-Scheffler FRL profile in the entire model, an early tee time before conditions deteriorate, and 20/1 on offer each-way with 5 places.

The glory doubles — including one that returns over 1,000 of your currency on a 2.50 each-way unit stake if it lands — are also exclusively on the Substack.

The AI Golf Bot has found winners and big-priced places in each of its first two tournaments. The PGA Championship card is its most ambitious yet.
