2024 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches Top Pick

In four tournaments this season, Henley has yet to miss a cut. Although he finished The Sentry, Russell’s first tournament played this season, he produced an -11, which means Henley played well enough all four days to shoot under par by a mile.

Then in his second tournament, Henley stepped it up, producing a 69-66-66-63 and -16 to finish fourth at the Sony Open. Henley was on fire that week.

Russell could have finished better than fifty-eight at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am. Rain washed out the fourth round. No worries because Henley shot a fantastic -5 at the Genesis to finish in the top 25. At the odds, the top pick is a slight overlay.

2024 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches Second Pick

Few golfers have the ability to turn it around week to week the way Sungjae Im can, which is why although Sungjae shot even par at the Genesis Invitational to finish a tied forty-fourth, he’s worth a look to win the Cognizant Classic.

Im has missed a single cut, at the Farmers Insurance Open, six tournaments played this season. His sticks were cold at the AT&T Pebble Beach and the WM Phoenix Open, where he finished sixty-six in both. The forty-fourth at the Genesis is a sign the form is on the rebound.

2024 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches Third Pick

If the chalk is on, he should win. It shouldn’t even be a question. Rory towers over the field. Not only that, but this is a $9 million pursed tourney and McIlroy is used to competing for the title in $20 million pursed events.

Still, McIlroy offers seriously low odds. 6-to-1 in a golf tournament is tough to swallow. Not only that, but the world’s second ranked golfer finished sixty-sixth at the AT&T Pebble Beach and twenty-forth at the Genesis.

McIlroy could be using this to prep for The Masters in early April. Be wary of backing Rory to win at the chalky odds.

2024 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches Underdog Pick

The listed defending champ often excels in these types of tournaments. Although Kirk missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational, it was his first tough performance of the season.

Kirk started out like gangbusters when winning The Sentry. Then he finished a great eighteenth at the Sony Open. A return to the form from either of his first two tournaments played could put Kirk into the final pairing on Sunday. If you like close to +5000 underdogs to win golf tournaments, Chris Kirk is your guy.
