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.

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.

2023 World Wide Technology Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The PGA Tour is in Mexico this week for the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship, a tournament that’s being held at El Cardonal at Diamante. It’s the 1st time a course designed by Tiger Woods will host a PGA Tour event as the world gets a look at this spectacular venue in Cabo San Lucas.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Ludvig Aberg, who is No. 10 in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, has the best odds to win this week, coming in at +900. Cameron Young has the 2nd-best odds at +1200, followed by Sahith Theegala at +1600. Young is No. 18 in Golfweek’s rankings, with Theegala checking in at No. 20.

El Cardonal Golf Course is 7,452 yards long and plays as a par 72 with massively wide fairways and large greens. Positioning within the fairways will be essential if players want to attack pins, though. Wind is likely to play a factor, too, with the course being right on the Pacific Ocean.

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. Lines last updated Tuesday at 9:31 p.m. ET.

Ludvig Aberg (+200)

Aberg is the best player in the field and even if he doesn’t have his A-game in Mexico, he’s talented enough to finish in the top 5. With this being a course everyone is seeing for the 1st time on the PGA Tour circuit, his inexperience as a pro won’t be a disadvantage as it is in some other events.

Stephan Jaeger (+450)

Jaeger has 2 top-10s in 31 starts this season, with the most recent coming in July at the Rocket Mortgage Classic when he finished 9th. He hasn’t finished worse than 40th in his last 8 starts so Jaeger has been relatively consistent lately.

Sahith Theegala (+300)

Theegala notched his 1st PGA Tour win last month at the Fortinet Championship and followed it up with a T-19 at the Zozo Championship 2 weeks ago. He’s playing as well as anyone and now with the weight of a victory off his back, the floodgates might just open.

World Wide Technology Championship – Top-10 picks

Cameron Champ (+400)

Champ’s length will be an advantage this week, especially with no rough and very wide fairways throughout the course. He has 2 top-20s, including a T-9, in 2 of his last 3 starts this season so he’s building some momentum.

Beau Hossler (+220)

Hossler has 3 top-10s in his last 8 starts, with 2 of those coming in his last 2 starts alone. He’s a good bet to keep it going this week in Mexico after a strong start to the fall season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

World Wide Technology Championship – Top-20 picks

Troy Merritt (+300)

Merritt is one of the long shots this week despite finishing in the top 10 twice in his last 3 starts. He only finished T-64th at the Shriners Children’s Open earlier this month but he showed good form in his 2 starts prior.

Henrik Norlander (+400)

Norlander almost nabbed his 1st career victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship earlier this month when he finished 2nd in a playoff, but even still, he has 6 top-25s this season.

Kelly Kraft (+400)

Kraft is trending in the right direction this fall, finishing 33rd, 25th, 16th and 23rd in his last 4 starts. At +400 with 4 straight top-35 finishes, he’s a good value this week.

World Wide Technology Championship – First-round leader

Stephan Jaeger (+3500)

Jaeger ranks 11th on the PGA Tour in 1st-round scoring average this season.

Justin Suh (+5000)

Suh is 19th in 1st-round scoring average this year and just finished 10th at the Zozo Championship recently.
