Jon Rahm shot a -27 last season to take home the top prize at the 2023 The Sentry Tournament. Rahm won’t tee off at Kapalua Resort on Thursday in the 2024 The Sentry, though. One of the top-ranked golfers in the world decided to move his sticks to LIV Golf. Without Rahm, The Sentry should be a competitive event. Will favorite Scottie Scheffler get it done? Does Patrick Cantlay have a shot? Which 20-to-1 or higher choice deserves a look? See below for golf odds, analysis, and free picks for the 2024 The Sentry Tournament.

The Sentry 2024 Top Pick

Although Viktor Hovland finished a tied eighteenth at last season’s The Sentry, the 2023 FedEx Cup winner shot a decent -17. Rahm was an unstoppable machine, blasting his way to a -27, so Hovland’s -17 tells us he’s more than capable of getting it done on Sunday.

More importantly, Viktor should remain hot after thumping the best in the world during the FedEx Cup. Rahm, Scheffler, and Cantlay all played in the playoffs. They all lost to Hovland, who at 26-years-old still has a ton of upside.

At the odds, Hovland is for sure worth a look to lift the trophy.

The Sentry 2024 Second Pick

Jon Rahm decimated the entire 2023 PGA The Sentry field except for one player. Collin Morikawa shot a 64-66-65-72 to finish at -25 and 2 strokes off Rahm.

The rest of 2023 wasn’t a banner year for Morikawa. However, Collin remains one of the best golfers on the planet. So he should find a way to be in the running on Sunday. If you believe Hovland stubs his toe this week, consider Morikawa a viable alternative to win The Sentry title.

The Sentry 2024 Third Pick

The favorite had something ridiculous like a 10 strokes lead heading into the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Scottie Scheffler managed to blow the lead.

Scottie knows the playoff loss was his fault. So we shouldn’t expect Scheffler to fail this week. However, the odds are light considering Scottie was 6 strokes off Rahm and 4 strokes off Morikawa at the 2023 The Sentry.

If the odds drift up, consider. Scheffler will be on a mission this season. So he’ll have a shot to win the hardware./p>

The Sentry 2024 Underdog Pick

Jordan Spieth’s -19 last season puts him in the running for this. Jordan managed 3 rounds under 70 at last season’s The Sentry. For sure, he could make the fourth run under 70 this year, which means Jordan Spieth would be one of the golfers with a chance to win as they had into Sunday.

If Spieth’s odds were lower, he’d be in the top 3. So at 22-to-1, Jordan is an overlay. He finished sixth at the hero World Challenge in Albany and should build off the effort. If Spieth gets hot, he can beat the field.
