THE PLAYERS Championship 2024 Top Pick

If you agree that Scottie Scheffler is the golfer to beat, you’re going to have to break the never bet on a golfer at less than +1000 odds rule. Low odds for sure, but Scheffler showed last week that he is on point.

Not only that, but the PGA has lost at ton of talent to LIV Golf. So Scheffler at +600 isn’t the same as Scheffler at +1200 a few years ago.

Scottie shot a -17 last season to win this by 5 strokes. Last week, Scheffler shot a -15 to take home the Arnold Palmer Invitational trophy. The favorite is solid.

THE PLAYERS Championship 2024 Second Pick

Viktor Hovland didn’t have a great Arnold Palmer Invitational, posting a +2 and finishing a tied thirty-sixth. But although Hovland didn’t play great last week, there’s a chance he picks up his game at TPC-Sawgrass.

Hovland finished 7 strokes behind Scheffler and in third place in this last year. Viktor tends to bounce back after disappointing performances. If he does this week, it could be a big enough bounce back for a first place score.

THE PLAYERS Championship 2024 Third Pick

Max Homa could be on the verge of a win. Max missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open. Since then, he’s played excellent golf, scoring a sixteenth at the Genesis Invitational and then securing an eighth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Homa finished at -8 and tied for sixth at the 2023 The Players Championship. A similar effort could be enough for a victory in 2024.

THE PLAYERS Championship 2024 Underdog Pick

The 2023 U.S. Open champ hadn’t been playing great but at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, Wyndham Clark the talent that led to the major title victory.

Wyndham finished second behind Scheffler at the Arnold Palmer. Clark shot a -5 at TPC-Sawgrass last year. If he improves this season, and he could because he got his sticks working last week, who knows? Give Palmer a big chance to outplay his odds.
