2024 Grant Thornton Invitational odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

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.

2024 Hero World Challenge prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Hero World Challenge with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

A star-studded field will be teeing it up in the Bahamas this week for the Tiger Woods-hosted 2024 Hero World Challenge at Albany Golf Course in Nassau. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is back to defend his title in his first tournament since the Presidents Cup.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the Hero World Challenge from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Scheffler won this event a year ago with a score of 20-under par, 3 shots clear of Sepp Straka, who finished second. Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Ludvig Aberg are among the top players who are also playing this week as they attempt to take down the seemingly unbeatable Scheffler. It’s a field that’s limited to just 20 players with a $5 million purse.

Albany Golf Course is a par 72 and plays 7,449 yards long and features 5 par 5s and 5 par 3s, giving players a unique layout with plenty of scoring opportunities. There are water hazards throughout the course and plenty of bunkers across the layout, playing similar to a links-style track – especially when the wind picks up.

Hero World Challenge – Top-5 picks

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 Tuesday at 4:08 p.m. ET.

Justin Thomas (+110)

In his last 4 starts at the Hero World Challenge, Thomas has finished third once and fifth 3 times. His odds are short for a top 5 with it being a 20-player field, but he has plenty of experience at this course and already had a second-place finish at the ZOZO Championship.

Sungjae Im (+150)

Im came in eighth in his tournament debut in 2023 and now that he has some experience at Albany Golf Course, he could be even better equipped for a higher finish on the leaderboard.

Robert MacIntyre (+220)

MacIntyre excels on links courses, which this one is similar to. If the wind picks up, the Scotsman is someone to bet on and watch out for because he’s accustomed to playing in those difficult conditions.

Other T5 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

  • Cameron Young (+275)
  • Akshay Bhatia (+225)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Hero World Challenge – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Brian Harman (+120) vs. Russell Henley (-150)

In a tournament like this where players have minimal course history and not many rounds played in recent months, it’s worth taking a plus-money bet in head-to-head matchups. Harman finished eighth here last year and this will be Henley’s debut. This line should be closer to -110.

Hero World Challenge – Top Brit and Irish

Robert MacIntyre (-125)

Back to MacIntyre in this market where it’s essentially a head-to-head matchup between him and Aaron Rai (+100). MacIntyre is a sleeper to win this week with his links golf experience.

Hero World Challenge – First-round leader

Brian Harman (+2200)

Harman has an Open Championship under his belt and knows how to flight the ball down in windy conditions. He was also tied for the lead after the first round last year when he and Tony Finau each shot 67 on Thursday.

2024 Hero World Challenge odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Many of the world’s best golfers will be in the Bahamas this week for the 2024 Hero World Challenge, a tournament hosted by Tiger Woods. Albany Golf Course will once again host this star-studded event, which is headlined by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The first round begins on Thursday morning from Nassau.

Below, we look at Hero World Challenge odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Scheffler, who’s making his first start since the Presidents Cup, is the defending champion here. He won the Hero World Challenge last year at 20-under-par. He’s joined by Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Ludvig Aberg in this loaded field. Woods is hosting the event again, but he won’t be playing as he continues to recover from back surgery.

Albany Golf Course is a par 72 and plays at 7,449 yards. It was designed by Ernie Els and features plenty of water hazards throughout, which will challenge players. It’s not an overly difficult course, with 17 of the 20 players finishing under par last year and 9 in double-figures, but wind and weather factors could have an impact on scoring, too.

Hero World Challenge – Expert picks

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 3:55 p.m. ET.

Justin Thomas (+900)

Thomas is a frequent participant in this event and he’s had success here with a third-place finish and 3 fifth-place finishes in the last 4 years alone. It’s a strong field, but also one with very little experience at this course outside of Thomas, Scheffler, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay and four others who have played it more than once. That could give Thomas an advantage. It’ll just come down to whether he can edge out the seemingly unbeatable Scheffler.

Sungjae Im (+1400)

Im tends to excel at events where birdies come in bunches, which was evidenced by his T-8 finish in 2023. His short game is excellent and when his irons are on, he can be one of the best ball-strikers on the planet, too. At +1400, he’s worth a shot this week.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Hero World Challenge picks – Contenders

Akshay Bhatia (+2500)

Why not play the young and exciting Bhatia in a small field at a course where his length off the tee could be an advantage. Bhatia had a terrific 2024 season and now heads to the Bahamas where he’ll try to take on a stacked field and steak a victory to close out the year.

Hero World Challenge picks – Long shots

Sepp Straka (+4000)

Straka finished second last year after coming in 10th the year prior, so he’s found success in his only 2 trips to Albany Golf Course. He had 4 top-10s in 24 starts this season and cracked the top 25 in nearly half of those tournaments (11), so he had a decent season despite being without a top-5 finish.

2024 RSM Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The last official event of the season takes place this week in St. Simons Island, Ga., at the 2024 RSM Classic. It’s once again being hosted by Sea Island Golf Club, with the first round beginning on Thursday morning.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the 2024 RSM Classic from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The No. 5 player in the world, Ludvig Aberg, is back to defend his title this week after winning the RSM Classic by 4 shots last year. He’s predictably the favorite to win again, coming in with pre-tournament odds of +1000. Davis Thompson (+2000), Seamus Power (+2800) and Si Woo Kim (+2800) are also among the favorites, as is former Open champion Brian Harman (+3000).

Sea Island Golf Club features 2 courses, both of which will be played this week. The Seaside Course is 7,005 yards and plays as a par 70, while the Plantation Course is 7,060 yards and is a par 72. Players will tee it up on each course in Rounds 1 and 2 before playing the Seaside Course on the weekend.

RSM Classic – Top-5 picks

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 Tuesday at 6:54 p.m. ET.

Ben Griffin (+550)

Griffin enters the week in good form, finishing 22nd or better in each of his last 3 starts. Though he doesn’t have a top-5 in 2 starts in this event, he has played well here with finishes of eighth and 29th in his last 2 appearances.

Davis Thompson (+450)

Thompson’s ball-striking abilities were on display in his win at the John Deere Classic in July when he ran away from the field with a 4-shot victory. He could have a similarly impressive driving week at the RSM Classic, and his odds would be much shorter if not for Aberg being in the field.

RSM Classic – Top-10 picks

Harris English (+300)

English’s best finish in this event was a sixth-place showing in 2020, one of 4 top-30s in his last 9 starts at the RSM Classic. He already has 3 top-20 finishes in his last 3 starts this fall, including 2 top 10s.

Lucas Glover (+350)

Glover has come in the top 10 once here since 2015, a ninth-place finish that year to go along with another T-11 in 2018. He had been playing well in Bermuda last week before a final-round 6-over sunk his tournament chances, but that round was an outlier.

Justin Lower (+375)

Lower was also in the mix in Bermuda, finishing tied for fifth despite shooting 1-over on Sunday to slide down the leaderboard. He now has back-to-back top-5 finishes in his last 2 tournaments so it’s worth riding the hot hand.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RSM Classic – Top-20 picks

Patrick Rodgers (+175)

Rodgers has 3 top-25 finishes in his last 4 starts this season, including a ninth-place in Bermuda last week. He has a good track record at Sea Island Golf Club with finishes of 10th and second since 2018.

Henrik Norlander (+350)

Norlander was the runner-up here in 2016 and also came in 5th in 2019, so his track record here has been good. He also has 2 top-30 finishes this fall, including an eighth-place finish.

RSM Classic – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Davis Thompson (+125) vs. Ludvig Aberg (-155)

Aberg wouldn’t be playing in this event if he hadn’t won it last year. It’s his first PGA Tour start since the Tour Championship so some rust is to be expected, whereas a player like Thompson just finished fifth a month ago at the Shriners Children’s Open.

RSM Classic – Top Canadian

Mackenzie Hughes (+138)

Hughes has a slight edge in this market, coming in as the favorite over Adam Svensson (+188). Hughes has played 3 events this fall and made the cut in all of them, finishing fourth and eighth in 2 of those starts.

2024 RSM Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour will wrap up the FedExCup Fall portion of the schedule this week with the 2024 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The first round will begin on Thursday morning where Ludvig Aberg will try to defend his title.

Below, we look at RSM Classic odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Aberg is the headliner in the field, coming into the week with pre-tournament odds of +1000. Davis Thompson has the second-best odds (+2200), with 5 others tied at +2800 – including J.T. Poston and Seamus Power. Former Open champion Brian Harman (+3000) is also teeing it up in his home state this week.

This event will be played at 2 courses: the Seaside Course and Plantation Course. Neither is terribly long, with the Plantation Course playing at 7,060 yards and the Seaside at 7,005 yards. The Seaside Course is a links layout, while the Plantation Course is a more traditional layout with tree-lined fairways, waste areas and water hazards

RSM Classic – Expert picks

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 4:04 p.m. ET.

Harris English (+3000)

English has played this tournament in each of the last 9 years, making the cut 5 times with 4 top-30 finishes. His best finish was sixth in 2020 and he comes into the week having played well this fall with finishes of T-6, T-9 and T-14 in his last 3 starts.

Ben Griffin (+2800)

Griffin hasn’t finished worse than 22nd in his last 3 starts so he enters the week in good form. He’s fresh off a solo eighth at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, too, finishing only 6 shots off the champion at 19-under par. In his last 2 starts in this event, he’s come in 29th and 8th.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RSM Classic picks – Contenders

Lucas Glover (+4500)

Glover feels like a good value at +4500. Since 2015, he has 3 top-25 finishes, including a ninth place in 2015 and 11th in 2018. Plus, he has 3 top-15 finishes in his last 6 starts this season. We might be getting a little bit of a discount, too, after he shot 6-over on Sunday in Bermuda to drop from 12-under, which would’ve been ninth, to 42nd.

Patrick Rodgers (+4000)

Rodgers shot 1-under in Sunday’s round in Bermuda to finish ninth, his second straight top-25 and third in his last 4 starts. In his last start at the RSM Classic, he finished 10th in 2022 and was the runner-up in 2018.

RSM Classic picks – Long shots

Henrik Norlander (+10000)

Norlander has started in this event 8 times in the last 9 years with his best finish being a runner-up in 2016. He also came in fifth in 2019, so he has some experience at Sea Island Golf Club. His play has tapered off a little bit as the fall has progressed, but he did come in 8th in the Black Desert Championship and 30th in the World Wide Technology Championship.

2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

There are only 2 tournaments left in the FedExCup Fall, with this week’s 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship being the penultimate event. The field may not be full of stars, but there’s a lot on the line for those trying to rise up the FedExCup Fall rankings before the 2025 season. The first round from Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda begins on Thursday.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The tournament favorite this week is Seamus Power at +1400. Mackenzie Hughes (+1600), Ben Griffin (+1800) and Maverick McNealy (+1800) are among the other players at the top of the board, while defending champion Camilo Villegas is a long shot at +30000.

Port Royal Golf Course is a seaside track that plays at only 6,828 yards, making it one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour schedule. However, winds can (and probably will) play a big role in making several holes longer and more difficult. It will once again play as a par 71 this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-5 picks

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 Tuesday at 4:47 p.m. ET.

Matti Schmid (+500)

Schmid finished third in this event last year, just his second start in the Butterfield. As for his recent form, he has finishes of 16th, fifth and third in 3 of his last 4 starts this season, so he’s playing well coming into the week.

Justin Lower (+450)

In 3 career starts in this event, Lower has come in 17th, eighth and 20th. He doesn’t have a top-5 finish, but he could be poised to make a run at the title in Bermuda this week.

WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-10 picks

Nico Echavarria (+250)

Echavarria is coming off a T-6 finish in Mexico last week after he won the Zozo Championship the tournament before. He’s in as good a form as anyone in the field and the wind in Bermuda may not bother him much, as he’s shown in the past.

Daniel Berger (+300)

Berger tied for 20th last week in Mexico, another strong showing from the 31-year-old American. Even though this will be his first start in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, he’s playing well enough to warrant a bet this week.

Brendon Todd (+375)

Todd is a shorter hitter but that isn’t as much of a detriment this week at Port Royal, which doesn’t necessarily favor longer drivers. He won this tournament in 2021 and came in 20th last year.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-20 picks

Vince Whaley (+200)

Whaley is 2-for-3 in top-20 finishes in this event, coming in seventh and eighth in his last 2 starts here. All we need in this bet is a top 20, which he’s had in 2 of his last 4 starts this season.

Greyson Sigg (+160)

In his last 4 starts, Sigg has gone fourth, MC, 11th and 23rd, so he’s playing well at the moment. Add in the fact he’s finished 11th and 22nd in 2 career starts at this course and he’s someone to back in Bermuda.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Justin Lower (-105) vs. Sam Stevens (-120)

We’ve already gone over the reasons to like Lower this week, and though Stevens hasn’t finished worse than 23rd in his last 3 starts this fall, he also missed the cut in his only appearance in this event.

Patrick Rodgers (+115) vs. Doug Ghim (-145)

The gap between Ghim and Rodgers should not be this big, especially considering Ghim has missed the cut in the last 2 years here. Rodgers, meanwhile, has come in third and fourth in his last 2 starts in this event.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top South American

Nico Echavarria (+125)

Only Jhonatton Vegas (+160) is close to Echavarria in this market, with the other 2 South American players being +500 (Alejandro Tosti) and Camilo Villegas (+800). Echavarria played well at another seaside course last week in Mexico, finishing T-6, and he could pull it off again this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top European

Matti Schmid (+350)

Schmid has the second-best odds to be the top European player at the end of the week, with only Power having shorter odds at +200. Schmid finished third here last year and has showings of third and fifth in 2 of his last 3 starts this season, so he’s in good form.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – First-round leader

Matti Schmid (+4000)

Schmid shot 64 in the opening round last year to grab a tie for sixth, getting off to a great start in Bermuda. He could do the same again this week, especially with the way he’s been playing lately.

2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The penultimate event of the FedExCup Fall will take place this week at the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, will once again play host to this event, which joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2019.

Below, we look at Butterfield Bermuda Championship odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Seamus Power enters the week as the betting favorite with pre-tournament odds of +1400, followed closely by Mackenzie Hughes (+1600), Ben Griffin (+1800) and Maverick McNealy (+1800). Defending champion Camilo Villegas is a long shot to repeat as the winner in Bermuda at +30000. Power won this event in 2022, but didn’t tee it up last year.

Port Royal is a shorter course, playing at just 6,828 yards as a par 71. It’s a seaside course and the longest on the island of Bermuda, bringing into play some challenging weather conditions if the wind picks up during the tournament. The winning score last year was 24-under par after Power won at 19-under in 2022.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Expert picks

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 2 p.m. ET.

Justin Lower (+2500)

Lower has 3 straight top-20 finishes in this event, coming in 20th last year, 8th in 2022 and 17th in 2021. He’s also coming off a terrific showing in the World Wide Technology Championship last week, finishing tied for second thanks to rounds of 63 and 65 on the weekend.

Daniel Berger (+3300)

We’re backing Berger again this week after he tied for 20th last week, continuing to regain his form this fall. He’s never played this event, but he’s playing well at the moment and has reasonable odds at +3300.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Butterfield Bermuda Championship picks – Contenders

Brendon Todd (+5000)

If it’s a short course, it’s worth backing Todd. He’s deadly accurate with his driver and is a good ball-striker from the fairway, which is what helped him win here in 2019 and come in 20th last year.

Vince Whaley (+5500)

Whaley finished T-55 last week in Mexico but he came in 16th in his previous start at the Shriners Children’s Open. After missing the cut in this event in 2020, he’s come in seventh (2021) and eighth (2023) in his last 2 starts here.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship picks – Long shots

Ryan Moore (+10000)

Moore will always be a long shot at this point in his career, but he’s worth betting in select events – like this one, where he finished fifth a year ago.

Brandon Wu (+10000)

Wu shot 3-under on Sunday to finish T-30 at the World Wide Technology Championship, his second-best finish of the fall (T-13 at the Procore Championship). In 3 career starts here in the last 3 years, he’s finished 30th, 35th and 34th.

2024 World Wide Technology Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 World Wide Technology Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour is paying a visit to one of Tiger Woods’ courses this week at El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The 2024 World Wide Technology Championship begins on Thursday morning. Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the World Wide Technology Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Erik van Rooyen (+3300) is defending his title this week at the second playing of this event at El Cardonal. Max Greyserman (+1400) is the betting favorite, but Cameron Young (+2000) is the biggest name in the field as he seeks his first PGA Tour victory. Doug Ghim (+2200) and Beau Hossler (+2500) are among the favorites, as well.

El Cardonal at Diamante is a par 72 and plays at 7,452 yards, with steep elevation changes and massive fairways. Inaccuracy off the tee isn’t as penalizing here as it is at other courses, so it does favor longer hitters who can shorten the course with their driving distance. The winning score last year was 27-under-par, with a total of 9 players at 20-under or better.

World Wide Technology Championship – Top-5 picks

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 Wednesday at 11:47 a.m. ET.

Cameron Young (+400)

It’s a little risky to play Young now considering the disappointing season he had and given the fact he hasn’t played a PGA Tour event since August, but he’s by far the most talented player in the field. Hd finished 9th here last year.

Beau Hossler (+500)

Hossler has been a frequent contender this fall and his course history – albeit brief – is solid after finishing tied for 15th last year. He already has a top-5 finish this season when he lost in a playoff at the Sanderson Farms Championship, as well as 2 other top 25s.

WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+

World Wide Technology Championship – Top-10 picks

Nate Lashley (+400)

In his last 2 starts this fall, Lashley has finished 29th and 16th. Pair that with his 10th-place finish in this event last year and he’s a good target this week at +400 for a top-10 finish.

Keith Mitchell (+300)

We’re getting a slight discount on Mitchell after he missed the cut in his last 2 events, but in his 3 starts prior to that, he finished 3rd, 12th and 12th. He finished T-38 in this event last year, helped by a final-round 8-under par.

Daniel Berger (+400)

Berger is getting on track after missing time with a back injury. He finished 7th at the Sanderson Farms Championship this fall and has 3 straight top-39 showings in his last 3 starts. He didn’t play here last year but this course should suit his game, ranking 26th in SG: off the tee in 2024.

World Wide Technology Championship – Top-20 picks

Chesson Hadley (+350)

Hadley tied for 7th in this event last year and has made the cut in 3 of his last 4 starts this season, so he’s been in decent form entering the World Wide Technology Championship.

Nico Echavarria (+200)

Echavarria won the ZOZO Championship in Japan this fall after also finishing T-11 in the Black Desert Championship. He tied for 31st in this event last year. He’s a good bet for a top-20 finish coming off a victory in his last start.

World Wide Technology Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Cameron Young (-120) vs. Matti Schmid (-105)

Young is making his 1st start of the fall compared to Schmid, who’s played 4 times since the middle of September. Despite Schmid finishing T-16 or better in each of the last 3 events, Young is the better pick here for his length off the tee.

World Wide Technology Championship – Top South American

Nico Echavarria (+188)

Echavarria isn’t even the favorite to be the top South American in this market, a title that goes to Jhonnatan Vegas (+120). However, Echavarria is coming off a win at the ZOZO and a T-31 in this event last year when Vegas didn’t play.

World Wide Technology Championship – First-round leader

Beau Hossler (+3300)

Hossler ranks 4th on tour in 2024 in first-round scoring average (68.64) and with his recent form and performance in this event last year, he’s worth a small play to be the openeing round leader.

Erik van Rooyen (+4500)

van Rooyen played better than anyone else in this event last year, winning by 2 shots after opening with a 68. He ranks 36th this year in first-round scoring average, too.

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 10:36 p.m. ET.

Beau Hossler (+2500)

Hossler has played well this fall, finishing in the top 11 twice and also coming in 23rd at the Shriners Children’s Open. In this event last year, he finished tied for 15th and had 3 rounds under 70 – including a final-round 65.

Cameron Young (+2000)

Young has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but this is the type of event that could lead to a breakthrough. It’s a weaker field and is played at a course with wide fairways, so he can play it aggressively without much penalty for errant tee shots. He finished 54th here last year.

World Wide Technology Championship picks – Contenders

Daniel Berger (+5000)

Berger appears to be rounding into better form after his absence due to injury, finishing 39th or better in each of his last 3 starts, including a 7th-place finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Nate Lashley (+5000)

Lashley tied for 10th here last year and has gotten progressively better this fall, coming in 55th, 61st, 29th and 16th in his last 4 starts. Combining his recent form and a top-10 finish in this event last year makes him a good pick.

2024 ZOZO Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour is in Japan this week for the 2024 ZOZO Championship. Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club is hosting this event once again, the 5th time since 2019 (it wasn’t played in 2020). The 1st round begins on Thursday morning in Japan.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the ZOZO Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Xander Schauffele is the headliner in the field this week, coming in with pre-tournament odds of +450 to win. Collin Morikawa, who won this event last year, has the 2nd-best odds at +700. Hideki Matsuyama is +800 to win in his home country this week, just as he did in 2021.

Accordia Golf Narashino CC will play as a par 70 and is only 7,079 yards long, so distance off the tee won’t be a major advantage this week. It’s also a traditional parkland course with trees lining fairways, forcing players to position themselves properly in the fairway.

ZOZO Championship – Top-5 picks

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 Tuesday at 4:56 p.m. ET.

Kurt Kitayama (+400)

Kitayama has been excellent when it comes to ball-striking this season, ranking 11th on tour in SG: tee-to-green. At a course that emphasizes ball-striking and accuracy over distance, he should be a good fit; he’s finished 16th and 29th in 2 appearances here.

Sahith Theegala (+333)

Theegala already has 1 top-5 finish in this event, coming in 5th in 2022 before finishing 19th last year. In his lone start this fall, he came in 7th at the Procore Championship.

ZOZO Championship – Top-10 picks

Beau Hossler (+275)

Hossler was the runner-up last year and came in 16th the year prior, so he’s familiar with the layout of Accordia Golf Narashino CC. He’s also come in 2nd, 11th and 23rd in his last 3 starts this season.

Tom Hoge (+350)

Hoge is a terrific iron player, which has led to 2 top-20 finishes in this event before, including a 9th-place finish in 2022.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

ZOZO Championship – Top-20 picks

Gary Woodland (+130)

Woodland hasn’t played this event since 2019 but that year, he came in 5th. He’s worked his way back into form following a medical absence, coming in 16th and 9th in his last 2 starts this season.

J.J. Spaun (+125)

Spaun has come in the top 25 in each of his 2 career starts in this event, headlined by a T-6 last year. He’s been busy this fall, playing 4 events (with 1 WD), finishing in the top 35 in each of his last 2.

Ryo Hisatsune (+230)

Hisatsune has improved in each of his last 2 starts in this event, going from 52nd in 2021 to 12th in 2022 and 6th last year. In his most recent start this fall, he tied for 25th at the Black Desert Championship.

ZOZO Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Gary Woodland (-110) vs. Patrick Rodgers (-110)

Back to the well with Woodland here against Rodgers given his recent form and course history. Rodgers has played this event once and finished 16th, which was in 2022.

ZOZO Championship – Top Brit and Irish

Seamus Power (+120)

Power has to beat out Harry Hall and David Skinns in this market. He missed the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open, but he tied for 11th in the Black Desert Championship 2 weeks ago.

ZOZO Championship – First-round leader

Xander Schauffele (+1200)

Schauffele is tied for 2nd in Round 1 scoring average in 2024 and having played this course in each of the last 4 years, he should be familiar with the layout.

Beau Hossler (+3300)

Hossler shot 68 here last year and was just 4 shots off the pace after the 1st round and he now ranks 6th in Round 1 scoring average this season.
