Tiger Woods: 2024 Masters prop bet picks and predictions

Analyzing Tiger Woods’ odds and prop bets for the 2024 Masters with PGA Tour picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Tiger Woods doesn’t tee it up very often anymore, but with a lifetime invite to the Masters, he’ll once again be in the field at Augusta National this week. Woods, a 5-time Masters champion, has the longest odds of his career to win this year but an outright wager isn’t the only way to bet on the Big Cat.

There are a bunch of prop bets available on the market this week, from Woods to make the cut to a top-40 finish. Considering he can play Augusta National with his eyes closed, it’s never a bad idea to bet Woods in some form or fashion when he heads to Georgia.

Below, we break down Tiger Woods’ 2024 Masters odds and prop bets and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Tiger Woods’ Masters odds and predictions

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 11:18 a.m. ET.

To win (+12500)

Woods hasn’t won since the 2019 ZOZO Championship, which came 6 months after his Masters win. He hardly plays due to his various injuries, primarily his leg ailment, and when he does, it’s difficult for him to finish all 4 rounds. Other than sentimental reasons and a desire to cheer for a fun story, betting Woods to win anything right now isn’t a worthwhile wager, especially at Augusta.

Top-5 finish (+2200)

The overall level of talent in golf has never been stronger than it is right now, making it incredibly challenging to even finish top 5 in any tournament. Woods has his work cut out for him, even if his swing is on. Walking around Augusta isn’t easy with all of the hills and sloping terrain.

Top-10 finish (+900)

Woods has 14 top-10s in 25 trips to Augusta, but only one since 2015, which was his win in 2019. PASS on this bet.

Top-20 finish (+350)

Woods was once automatic for a top-20 spot at the Masters, finishing there in 7 consecutive appearances from 2005-2011 and 17 times in his career. It’s still not worth betting him for a top-20 finish at this number, though. PASS.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

More Tiger Woods odds and predictions

Will Tiger Woods make the cut? Yes +100 | No -135

Here’s where the real value is. Woods has made the cut in the Masters 24 times in 25 attempts, with the lone exception being 1996 before his win a year later. He’s made the cut in 23 consecutive years and will be trying to set the record with 24 straight made cuts at Augusta. With a line of +100, it’s easy to get behind Woods to play the weekend again.

Top former winner group (+3500)

Woods has the 9th-best odds in this market, which is predictably led by Scottie Scheffler at +110. There are too many players still in their prime who are former winners to make this a good bet for Woods – players such as Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth and even Dustin Johnson.

Top American finisher (+8000)

This is similar to betting Woods to win outright, except without players such as Rory McIlroy, Rahm, Matsuyama and others. PASS.

Tiger Woods’ Masters first-round odds

Leader +6600 (bet $100 to win $6,600)
Top 5 +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200)
Top 10 +600 (bet $100 to win $600)
To make 4 or more birdies/eagles -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
To shoot 72 or lower +115 (bet $100 to win $115)

It’s a bit safer to bet Woods’ 1st-round market than the full-tournament lines because there’s always a chance he either A) withdraws or B) runs out of steam on the weekend and falls down the leaderboard like he did in 2022.

I really like his odds to make at least 4 birdies/eagles in the 1st round with how favorable the 4 par-5s are at Augusta. He had 4 birdies in Round 1 in 2020 and 3 each in 2021 and 2022. Even when he shot an opening 74 last year, he had 3 birdies.

I’d feel better about him shooting 72 or lower in Round 1 if the odds were a bit longer, but that’s also a bet to consider.

Memphis Grizzlies at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (27-52) travel to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-33) Wednesday. Tip-off at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Cavaliers lead 1-0, posting a 108-101 win in Memphis on Feb. 1, although the Grizzlies covered as 8.5-point underdogs and the Under (215.5) cashed

The Grizzlies played at home against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, falling 102-87 as 6-point underdogs as the Under (218) cashed. Memphis has dropped the past 2 games, while averaging just 91.5 points per game (PPG) on offense. The Under has hit in 4 straight, and 5 of the past 6 outings.

The Cavaliers dropped the final 3 games of the Western Conference road trip, falling to the LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. Cleveland is just 2-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, and 3-8 ATS across the past 11 outings. The Over has a 7-2 edge in the previous 9 contests.

Moneyline (ML): Grizzlies +1150 (bet $100 to win $1,150) | Cavaliers -2500 (bet $2,500 to win $100)

Grizzlies at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 114, Grizzlies 99

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-2500) will cost you 25 times your potential return, or just a $4 profit for every $100 risked. There is never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite, especially when that team enters with 3 straight losses, and a 3-8 SU record in the past 11 games.

However, the banged up and tanking Grizzlies (+1150) also cannot be trusted to spring the upset.

PASS.

Against the spread

The GRIZZLIES +18.5 (-110) are worth a look catching more than 9 buckets.

Memphis has failed to cover the past 2 outings, but is 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games. In addition, it is a respectable 9-5 ATS in the past 14 tries as an underdog of 9 or more points dating back to Feb. 6.

Over/Under

OVER 210.5 (-115) is worth a look, but be careful not to get carried away.

Cleveland enters on a 7-2 Over run in the past 9 outings, while cashing in 6 straight games on its home floor.

However, there is risk, as Memphis has hit the Under in 4 straight games. The Under is also 8-1-1 in the past 10 for the Grizzlies when playing on no rest.

2024 Masters prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Masters with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The game’s best are in Augusta, Ga., this week for the 2024 Masters, the 1st major of the year. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is aiming for his 2nd green jacket as the overwhelming favorite, while defending champion Jon Rahm is back at Augusta National for the 1st time since joining LIV Golf.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2024 Masters odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Scheffler comes into the Masters as the top-ranked player in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin poll, followed by Xander Schauffele at No. 2, Rory McIlroy at No. 3, Ludvig Aberg at No. 4 and Viktor Hovland rounding out the top 5. Rahm ranks 6th, one spot ahead of Patrick Cantlay.

Augusta National will play at 7,555 yards this week, 10 yards longer than it played last year. It’s still a par 72, of course, but it’s certainly a venue that favors longer hitters off the tee. Strokes gained: approach is a key metric when it comes to picking a Masters winner because Augusta is a 2nd-shot course, though players must also be good putters on the daunting greens with steep slopes and drop-offs.

Masters – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 2:44 p.m. ET.

Jon Rahm (+240)

Rahm is the defending champion and comes into the week in great form. In 5 starts with LIV, he’s finished between 3rd and 8th each time, showing impressive consistency. In addition to winning the Masters last year, he also finished in the top 10 each year from 2019-21.

Brooks Koepka (+333)

Koepka lives for the majors. He won the PGA last year and tied for 2nd at Augusta, giving him 14 top-5 finishes in his major championship career. Even if he doesn’t break through and win the green jacket, I like his chances to finish in the top 5.

Tony Finau (+650)

Finau has never won a major and his putting could prevent him from bucking that trend this week. However, his ball-striking is good enough right now to land him a spot in the top 5 at Augusta, a place where he’s finished in the top 10 three times and top 5 once.

Masters – Top-10 picks

Will Zalatoris (+240)

Zalatoris has only played the Masters twice but he’s finished 2nd and 6th in those 2 appearances. That’s a rock-solid record at a difficult course, but Zalatoris seems to thrive when the conditions are tougher. There are admittedly some concerns about his recent form after going MC-74th in his last 2 starts, but he was playing well before that.

Cameron Young (+350)

Similar to Koepka, Young tends to play his best golf in the majors. He has 4 top-10 finishes in the majors in the last 2 years alone, including a T-7 at the Masters in 2023. His high-draw ball flight fits well at Augusta, but he needs the putter to improve in order to contend.

Xander Schauffele (+140)

Schauffele is a top-10 machine in the majors. He has 11 top-10s in the majors during his career and the only time he’s finished outside the top 20 of a major in the last 2 years was at the Masters in 2022. He’s an excellent bet for a top-10 at Augusta again, which would be his 4th.

Hideki Matsuyama (+160)

Matsuyama comes into the week with his game firing on all cylinders. His history at Augusta is obviously very good, too, finishing 13th, 1st, 14th and 16th since 2020. This season, he’s finished in the top 22 in each of his last 5 starts, a stretch that includes 3 top-10s.

Corey Conners (+450)

Looking a bit further down the board, Conners is worth a bet for a top-10. He burned bettors last year when he missed the cut, but his ball-striking is always great and he finished in the top 10 at Augusta in 3 consecutive years from 2020-22.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Masters – Top-20 picks

Sahith Theegala (+115)

Theegala has the type of creative game that has made Jordan Spieth so successful at Augusta, as well as Bubba Watson. He can shape the ball, flight it high or low and he’s putting it extremely well this season (13th in SG: putting).

Si Woo Kim (+175)

Kim has only finished inside the top 20 once in his Masters career (12th in 2021), but since 2018, he’s come in the top 40 each year. What makes him a particularly enticing bet is he has 6 top-25 finishes in 9 starts this season. Aside from his putting, Kim ranks in the top 27 in every other strokes-gained statistic.

Shane Lowry (+115)

Lowry is a former major champion so he checks that box and he’s finished top 20 in each of his last 3 starts on the PGA Tour this season. At the Masters, he’s finished 16th, 3rd, 21st and 25th in the last 4 years. So his form is solid and his course history is even better.

Other T20 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

Nick Taylor (+350)
Akshay Bhatia (+225)

Masters – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Sungjae Im (-130) vs. Tom Kim (+100)

Betting on Im with his current form is risky, but Kim isn’t playing much better and he hasn’t played much due to an illness that forced him to withdraw from the Players Championship. Im has finished 16th, 8th and 2nd in 3 of his last 4 starts here.

Justin Rose (-110) vs. Rickie Fowler (-110)

This is more about fading Fowler than it is about buying Rose stock. Fowler hasn’t played the Masters since 2020 and his best finish this year was a T-35 at Riviera. He ranks 162nd in SG: total this season, too. At near-even money, take Rose over Rickie.

Shane Lowry (-110) vs. Collin Morikawa (-110)

In Morikawa’s last 3 starts this season, he’s missed the cut and finished 45th and 75th. Not great. Lowry is in stronger form and has better course history.

Masters – Top Korean

Si Woo Kim (+180)

Kim is the favorite to be the top Korean player over Byeong Hun An (+300), Im (+300) and Kim (+350). Neither Im nor Kim are playing well right now and An has missed the cut in 2 of 3 starts here.

Masters – Top debutant

Akshay Bhatia (+700)

As long as his shoulder is OK, Bhatia is a good bet to be the top debutant. No one in this group has an advantage of course history, and with the way he shapes the ball right to left, he’s a great fit for Augusta. The drives he hit in San Antonio were spectacular and he looked to be in complete control of his golf ball. The biggest concerns here are Ludvig Aberg (+300) and Wyndham Clark (+333).

Masters – First-round leader

Cameron Young (+4500)

Young shot 67 here last year and was tied for 4th. He’s teeing off late on Thursday, which could be favorable with storms expected earlier in the day, potentially softening up the greens for him later on.

Jordan Spieth (+2500)

Spieth has the 6th-most birdies in the Masters in the last 5 years, a span that doesn’t include his win or runner-up in 2015 and 2016. If he gets hot, he can really light it up and go low. He also tees off late on Thursday so that could be beneficial, as well.

Masters – To make the cut

Suggested play in bold.

Tiger Woods: YES (+110) vs. No (-150)
Bryson DeChambeau: NO (+275) vs. Yes (-400)

Woods hasn’t missed the cut at the Masters since 1996. He’s seeking to make his 24th consecutive cut at Augusta, which would break Fred Couples’ record. At +110, it’s worth playing.

DeChambeau, on the other hand, has no business being -400 to make the cut. He’s missed the cut here in each of the last 2 years and hasn’t finished better than 29th since his debut in 2016 (21st).

More expert prop bet predictions

Group H winner: Keegan Bradley (+450)

Bradley has the longest odds in this group, which includes An (+300), Harris English (+300), Stephan Jaeger (+350) and Kurt Kitayama (+400). English is worrisome for Bradley’s chances, but Keegan’s game is a good fit for Augusta and it’s surprising that he hasn’t had better finishes – though he did come in 23rd last year.

Bogey-free Round 1: Xander Schauffele (+1400)

Schauffele is 2nd in bogey avoidance this season and he’s the type of steady player who’s capable of putting together a clean card in the 1st round. He stays out of trouble and is good around the greens so he’ll consistently make up-and-down when he misses the green.

2024 Masters odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 Masters, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

It’s been a year of underdogs winning on the PGA Tour this season, but this week features the strongest field in golf. The 2024 Masters is here as the world’s best descend for the 88th time upon Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., for the 1st major of the year. The 1st round begins on Thursday morning.

Below, we look at the 2024 Masters odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Jon Rahm will look to defend his title and earn a 2nd green jacket in his 1st major start since joining LIV Golf, while favorite Scottie Scheffler (+400) is seeking to win his 2nd Masters in 3 years. Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka are among the favorites trying to win their 1st green jacket, as well. Past champions teeing it up at Augusta include Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.

Oh, and 5-time champion Tiger Woods is in the field, too.

Augusta National is a par 72 and will play at 7,555 yards, 10 yards longer than last year. All of the par-5s offer terrific scoring opportunities but with undulating greens and a number of false fronts, players must be accurate with their irons to hit the proper sections to stay close to the strategically placed pins. The winning score has been between 8-under and 18-under each year since 2010 with the exception of Danny Willett’s win in 2016 when he was just 5-under par.

Masters – 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 11:01 a.m. ET.

Jon Rahm (+1200)

Repeating as the Masters champion is incredibly difficult. Only 3 players (Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldon, Woods) have ever accomplished it, which shows how tough it is to do. Yet, no one should be surprised if Rahm pulls it off. His odds are longer now than they were pre-tournament last year when he was at +900, and that’s strictly because the exposure to him has been lessened by his move to LIV. Rahm is still a world-class player who has finished in the top 10 in 4 of his last 5 starts at Augusta.

Brooks Koepka (+2000)

Koepka was in the driver’s seat here last year before a final-round 75 dropped him out of 1st place and gave Rahm the green jacket. He’s the best big-game hunter in the world, almost always performing well in the majors no matter his recent form in smaller events. Even after finishing T-45 (out of 53) in LIV’s Miami event, Koepka is someone to back this week in Augusta. The move to LIV obviously hasn’t hurt his game either, considering he won the PGA Championship last year.

Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)

You could find Matsuyama at around +2500 before his 7th-place finish in San Antonio this past week but he’s still a good bet at +2000. He’s a past champion and one of the best players in the world around the greens, which is always beneficial around a place like Augusta where you’re bound to miss greens all week. He’s notched 4 straight top-12 finishes this season, including a win at Riviera, so he’s in excellent form entering the Masters.

Will Zalatoris (+2800)

Zalatoris was forced to withdraw from the Masters last year, which was extremely disappointing given that he had finished 6th and 2nd in his 1st 2 starts at this great event. Now that he’s gone to the broomstick putter, he’s gotten more reliable on the greens. And he still ranks 21st in strokes gained: tee-to-green this season. He doesn’t need to putt magnificently this week, but he just can’t give away strokes on the greens because he’s one of the best ball-strikers in the field.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Masters picks – Contenders

Sahith Theegala (+4000)

Theegala’s odds have been on a steady climb all season thanks to his 5 top-25 finishes in 9 starts this season, including a quartet of top-10s. He finished 9th in his Masters debut last year, largely thanks to a final-round 67, so maybe he’s figuring Augusta out in the little experience he’s had here. Now that he’s gotten over the “debutants rarely win the Masters” hurdle, he’s a good bet to contend again this week.

Corey Conners (+6600)

Conners surprisingly missed the cut last year, but he finished 6th, 8th and 10th in his previous 3 starts at Augusta prior to that. This is a 2nd-shot course and Conners is one of the best iron players around, which has helped him have so much success here in the past. He ranks 4th in SG: approach and 11th in SG: tee-to-green this season, to give you an idea of his ball-striking numbers.

Shane Lowry (+4000)

Lowry skipped the Texas events before the Masters after a successful Florida swing, but that’s no reason for concern. He heads back to Augusta ranked 5th in SG: tee-to-green and 3rd in SG: approach, so his ball-striking has been phenomenal all year. He’s finished inside the top 25 at the Masters in each of the last 4 years, with a peak in 2022 when he finished 3rd. If the putter cooperates, expect to see him in contention on Sunday.

Masters picks – Long shots

Akshay Bhatia (+10000)

Bhatia held off Denny McCarthy on Sunday at the Valero Texas Open for his 2nd PGA Tour win, earning him a spot in the Masters for the 1st time. The 22-year-old is on the verge of a major breakout and he looked every bit like someone who can make some noise at Augusta. He was hitting 350-yard cuts down the middle of the fairway at TPC San Antonio and his wedge game was excellent, as well. He’s made 6 cuts in 10 starts this season and finished in the top 20 each time he played the weekend.

Nick Taylor (+15000)

Taylor is a better player than these odds suggest, winning twice in the last 2 seasons – including this year’s WM Phoenix Open, a signature event. He finished T-29 in his Masters debut in 2020 when it was played in the fall, so at least he’s seen the course before, which takes the pressure of being a debutant out of the picture. He’s a terrific iron player, ranking 13th in SG: approach, and his putter is hot (19th in SG: putting), so he could put it all together this week and contend at Augusta National.

Stephan Jaeger (+12500)

Jaeger has the length to play well at Augusta and he clearly isn’t afraid of the big guns after taking down Scheffler in Houston, but this will be his Masters debut, which puts him at somewhat of a disadvantage. He doesn’t rank lower than 70th in any strokes gained metric and is 23rd in tee-to-green. Even his putting (69th) hasn’t been terrible by any stretch. He has 4 top-25s, including a win, in just 9 starts this season.

Use Best Valero Texas Open Betting Promos to Wager on PGA Tour Odds

If the Valero Texas Open plays out similar to last week’s Houston Open and the Valspar Championship the week before, then we’re destined for a spectacular finish that delivers an unlikely champion who’s giddy to accept the automatic invitation to The Masters and other major tournaments.

Last week’s champion was Stephan Jaeger, who picked up his first PGA Tour win. Jaeger planned to play this week at TPC San Antonio, but he withdrew after winning by 1 shot over Scottie Scheffler and several others.

While Scheffler is skipping this week to prepare for Augusta National, the Valero Texas Open features several big names: McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Ludvig Aberg, Collin Morikawa, Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama. They, along with defending champion Corey Conners and many more, will be battling for the $9.2 million purse.

It will make for some incredible betting, but before you plunk down any wagers, grab a few of these Valero Texas Open betting promos today.

2024 Valero Texas Open – Final pairing

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 1:22 a.m. ET.

Akshay Bhatia (-350)

The 22-year-old pro from Los Angeles is in position to win his 2nd tour title in his 53rd career event and will try for a wire-to-wire win and a spot in next week’s Masters. Bhatia, who has 19 birdies and 4 bogeys through 3 rounds, won the 2023 Barracuda Championship

Denny McCarthy (+400)

The 31-year-old pro from Maryland, who opened at +6600 to win, shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to go with a 68-70 and starts 4 shots back in a bid for his 1st career title in 173 events. He’ s the No. 33 player in Golfweek’s rankings.

Brendon Todd (+3300)

The 38-year-old pro from Pittsburgh, who opened at +8000 to win, shot a 2-under 70 to go with a 66-72 and is 7 strokes back at 8-under. He has a lot of work to do to bag his 4th career title. He’ s the No. 39 player in Golfweek’s rankings.

2024 Valero Texas Open prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Valero Texas Open with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The PGA Tour will stay in Texas for the final tournament before the Masters, heading from Houston to San Antonio for the 2024 Valero Texas Open. TPC San Antonio is hosting this event once again, with Corey Conners looking to win it for the 2nd straight year.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2024 Valero Texas Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Rory McIlroy (+1000) is teeing it up this week, which is atypical for him the week before the Masters, as is Ludvig Aberg (+1200). Also among the favorites to win in San Antonio Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth and Collin Morikawa are , all coming in with odds of +2500 or shorter.

The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio is a par 72 and 7,438 yards. It’s a relatively new course, opening in 2010, and features very little elevation change. If the wind is mild, the scoring should be low this week, with the winning score being between 11-under and 20-under par in each of the last 8 years.

Valero Texas Open – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 7:31 p.m. ET.

Corey Conners (+450)

Conners has won this event twice before and he’s also finished 14th, 26th and 35th in his other 3 starts since 2019. As one of the best ball strikers on tour, he’s a great fit for this course.

Ludvig Aberg (+260)

Aberg missed the cut in his tournament debut here last year, but he’s an even better player now than he was at that time. He hasn’t finished worse than 25th in his last 5 starts.

Valero Texas Open – Top-10 picks

Rory McIlroy (+120)

McIlroy doesn’t have a top 10 yet this season, and if he doesn’t notch one this weekend, it’ll be the 1st time since 2010 that he goes to the Masters without a top-10 on the PGA Tour. In other words, he’s due.

Alex Noren (+300)

Noren is on fire, finishing 9th, 11th and 19th in his last 3 starts. He came in 15th at the Valero Texas Open a year ago so he’s a perfect match of course history and recent form.

Aaron Rai (+400)

Rai continues to be underrated each week despite having 3 top-25 finishes in his last 5 starts – including a 7th-place finish last week in Houston. In 2 starts here, he’s finished 28th and 29th so he’s had some success in the last 2 years.

Other T10 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

Erik van Rooyen (+550)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Valero Texas Open – Top-20 picks

Ryan Moore (+375)

Moore seems to have found something in the last 3 weeks, finishing 45th, 5th and 31st in his last 3 starts. With his ball striking (12th in strokes gained: tee-to-green), he’s a good course fit and could be in contention if the putter cooperates. He’s finished in the top 10 here twice in his last 4 starts.

Matt Kuchar (+400)

Kuchar is not playing well right now, having missed 6 of 8 cuts this season, but he hasn’t finished worse than 12th in this event in the last 4 years, a stretch that includes 3 top-7 finishes. At +400, all he needs is a top-20.

Keith Mitchell (+225)

Mitchell is hitting the ball extremely well, but his driver has gone cold in his last 3 rounds, leading to a final-round collapse at the Valspar Championship and a missed cut in Houston. With his odds dipping, now is a good time to buy the dip at a course that emphasizes tee-to-green play.

Other T20 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

Andrew Novak (+350)

Valero Texas Open – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Corey Conners (-120) vs. Collin Morikawa (-105)

Morikawa is hard to trust right now, having finished 45th and 64th in his last 2 starts this season. He’s also never played this event, while Conners is a yearly participant and a 2-time champion.

Aaron Rai (-110) vs. Beau Hossler (-110)

Hossler has been a cut-maker here, going 5-for-5 in his last 5 starts at the Texas Open, but he’s only finished better than 36th here once in that span. Rai has back-to-back top-30 finishes in this event and is coming off a 7th place finish last week.

Valero Texas Open – Top Korean

Byeong Hun An (+150)

An missed the cut in his last start at the Players Championship, which came as a surprise, but he had finished in the top-21 in each of his previous 3 starts. He also has 2 top-10s in his last 3 starts here. This bet is a way to fade Tom Kim, who’s +225 to be the top Korean in his 1st start since battling an illness that sidelined him for a couple of weeks.

Valero Texas Open – Top South African

Erik van Rooyen (+175)

Christiaan Bezuidenhout is the favorite at +100, but he shouldn’t have significantly shorter odds than van Rooyen at +175. Garrick Higgo (+360) is the only other contender in this bet, as well.

Valero Texas Open – First-round leader

Matt Kuchar (+9000)

Kuchar always plays well here, as referenced above, and at a course he seems to love, all it takes is 1 great round to cash this bet at +9000. If he gets hot, he could lead after Round 1.

Alex Noren (+4000)

Noren has the 5th-best 1st-round scoring average on tour this season (67.86). He only shot 70 in the opening round last year, but still managed to come in 15th.

Valero Texas Open – To make the cut

McIlroy, Aberg and Matsuyama: Yes (+100)

It’s a chalky made-cut parlay, but all 3 of these players are typically reliable when it comes to playing the weekend.

2024 Valero Texas Open odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 Valero Texas Open, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Players will have one last chance to tune their game before the Masters this week at the 2024 Valero Texas Open, which is once again being held at TPC San Antonio. Corey Conners will look to defend his title after winning the event last year with a score of 15-under par.

Below, we look at the 2024 Valero Texas Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Rory McIlroy typically doesn’t play the week before the Masters but he’s in the Texas Open field this year and the betting favorite to win at +1000. Ludvig Aberg (+1200), Hideki Matsuyama (+1800) and Collin Morikawa (+2500) are among the other big names teeing it up this week.

TPC San Antonio is a par 72 and plays at 7,438 yards with very little elevation change throughout the course. It’s not an overly challenging course, with the winning score being between 11-under and 20-under par over the last 8 years. However, if the wind picks up it will have a big impact on scoring.

Valero Texas Open – 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 3:53 p.m. ET.

Ludvig Aberg (+1200)

Aberg is only in his 1st full season on the PGA Tour, but he’s already one of the best ball strikers in the world and that’s highly advantageous on this course. He ranks 24th in strokes gained: tee-to-green this season and his putting isn’t holding him back too much (57th in SG), so he’s a perfect fit for TPC San Antonio, even after missing the cut here last year.

Corey Conners (+2200)

It’s always hard to expect the defending champion to win in back-to-back years but Conners’ course history and ball-striking prowess make him too good to ignore. He’s won here twice since 2019 (his only 2 PGA wins) and hasn’t finished worse than 35th in his last 5 starts in this event, using his stellar iron play to propel him to 2 victories.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Valero Texas Open picks – Contenders

Keith Mitchell (+5500)

After blowing a 54-hole lead at the Valspar Championship 2 weeks ago, Mitchell missed the cut at the Texas Children’s Houston Open over the weekend after finishing 3-over in his last 5 holes to miss it by 1 shot. He’s still among the best players on tour from tee to green, ranking 8th in strokes gained, and he’s finished 17th and 26th in 2 starts here during his career. He’s due for a bounce-back.

Erik van Rooyen (+6600)

van Rooyen has not been good around the greens this season, which is holding him back from contending more, but he’s 48th on tour in strokes gained: tee-to-green and 19th total. Before he missed the cut at the Players Championship, he finished 8th, 2nd and 25th in 3 consecutive tournaments.

Valero Texas Open picks – Long shots

Ryan Moore (+10000)

Moore is quietly playing well right now, finishing 31st, 5th and 45th in his last 3 starts. Impressively, he’s 12th in SG: tee-to-green, including 4th in approach, but his putting has been horrific (173rd). TPC San Antonio is more about ball striking than putting, which has helped him finish in the top 10 twice before, so he’s a worthy long shot this week.

Matt Kuchar (+12500)

Kuchar has finished 3rd, 2nd, 12th and 7th in his last 4 starts at this tournament, an event he plays every year. Looking at his stats from this season gives you pause when it comes to betting him because he isn’t playing well (6 missed cuts in 8 starts), but it’s hard to ignore his recent finishes at TPC San Antonio.
