It’ll be another limited field in this week’s featured event, the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational, which is a special mixed-team event at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla. The first of 3 rounds begins on Friday, with the tournament concluding on Sunday.
Below, we look at Grant Thornton Invitational odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
There are only 16 teams competing in this week’s event, each of which has a PGA Tour and LPGA Tour player on it. The first round is a scramble and the second round is alternate shot, with the tournament concluding on Sunday with a round of modified fourball. Among the notable teams competing are Tony Finau and Nelly Korda, Jason Day and Lydia Ko, and Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson.
Day and Ko won the event last year, the inaugural playing of this tournament, with a 54-hole score of 190. The course will play as a par 72 for both the men and women, but it’ll be 7,382 yards for the men and 6,788 yards for the women.

Grant Thornton Invitational – Expert pick
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Monday at 7:26 p.m. ET.
Tom Kim/Jeeno Thitikul (+550)
Kim lit it up on the weekend at the Hero World Challenge, finishing second behind Scottie Scheffler thanks to rounds of 62 and 68. Thitikul just won at Tiburon last month when she took home the CME Group Tour Championship, so she should be familiar with this layout. And with Kim’s accuracy off the tee, they shouldn’t be in trouble much.

Grant Thornton Invitational picks – Contender
Akshay Bhatia/Jennifer Kupcho (+1200)
Bhatia looked great at the Hero World Challenge, finishing fourth with a score of 15-under par. He’s a long hitter who should set their team up with good looks into the greens, especially in alternate shot formats. Kupcho didn’t win this season, but she had 6 top-10s in 26 starts.
J.T. Poston/Maja Stark (+1600)
Oftentimes, team events come down to who makes the most putts and Poston is one of the best putters on tour. Stark has finished top-3 in 3 events this season.
