2024 Charles Schwab Challenge odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Following a thrilling finish at the PGA Championship on Sunday, the PGA Tour heads to Texas for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Scottie Scheffler comes in as the overwhelming favorite, but Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa and other stars will also be teeing it up.

Below, we look at BetMGM Sportsbook’s 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Colonial Country Club is once again playing host for this event, and it’ll do so following a complete restoration in the last year. The course was fully restored by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, which included removing bunkers, changing the elevation of specific greens and relocating some greens altogether. It’s a much shorter course than Valhalla, coming in at 7,289 yards as a par 70, which puts a greater emphasis on accuracy over length off the tee.

Spieth is one of the former champions teeing it up this week, along with 2023 champion Emiliano Grillo. Justin Rose and Adam Scott have also won this event in the past and will be in the field at Colonial again. Scheffler is the favorite at +275, followed by Morikawa (+1200) and Max Homa (+2000).

Charles Schwab Challenge – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 6:37 p.m. ET.

Jordan Spieth (+2200)

Course history may not be as important this week following the massive renovations Colonial underwent, but it’ll mostly be the same course and that bodes well for Spieth. He’s been up and down all year, but he’s played relatively well in back-to-back weeks with finishes of 29th and 43rd in his last 2 starts. He now comes to an event where he’s won before and has 7 top-10s since 2015. If Spieth is ever going to find momentum, it’ll be this week back home in Texas.

Collin Morikawa (+1200)

Morikawa has a chance to do something similar to what Xander Schauffele did by going from 54-hole leader (or co-leader) to champion the next week. Morikawa is on the brink of winning again after finishing near the top at the Masters and now the PGA Championship, and he’s already finished 2nd at Colonial before (2020). His odds are short, but Morikawa has everything clicking now.

Charles Schwab Challenge picks – contenders

Keegan Bradley (+5000)

Bradley has finished 21st and 18th in the last 2 weeks at the Wells Fargo Championship and PGA Championship, continuing to play very well this season. At a shorter course, his lack of length off the tee won’t be penalizing and with Colonial likely to play fairly tough, it fits Bradley’s game well. Bradley hasn’t played here since 2020, but he finished 32nd that year.

Tom Hoge (+5000)

Hoge is fresh off a T-23 at the PGA Championship and has now made the cut in all but 1 of his last 15 starts this season, which includes 2 top-10s and 8 top-25s. He’s a terrific ball-striker, excelling with his irons, which will give him an edge at Colonial where approach play is extremely important.

Charles Schwab Challenge picks – long shots

Brendon Todd (+10000)

Todd is one of the shortest hitters on tour, ranking 185th in driving distance. He’s 33rd in driving accuracy, however, which is more important this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He finished 8th here in 2021 and 3rd in 2022 before coming in 57th last year, so he’s had success at this event before. He also finished 5th in Texas earlier this year at the Valero Texas Open.

Michael Kim (+15000)

Kim placed 20th in the Myrtle Beach Classic, which was his 5th top-25 finish this season. In his 1st start at this event since 2019, he finished 6th last year. Kim is another player who doesn’t hit it very far but he’s a good putter and about average when it comes to his approach game.
