The 2024 PGA Championship will take place at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, beginning on Thursday, May 16. Tiger Woods is a 15-time major champion who just set a record by making his 24th consecutive appearance at the 2024 Masters. Now, he will try to replicate his past success at Valhalla Golf Club, where he won the 2000 PGA Championship. How Tiger’s body will hold up to another grueling week against the world’s best players and which 2024 PGA Championship contenders should be on his radar ?
Woods is scheduled to play and is 125-1 on the 2024 PGA Championship odds, while Scottie Scheffler is the 3-1 favorite following his win at Augusta. Jon Rahm (10-1), Rory McIlroy (10-1), Brooks Koepka (12-1) and Ludvig Aberg (12-1) round out the top five on the PGA odds board for the second major championship of the season. Before securing your 2024 PGA Championship picks or Tiger Woods accessories, be sure to see golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on a roll since the PGA Tour restarted in June 2020. In fact, the model has won nearly $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, winning tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model correctly predicted that Scottie Scheffler would finish atop the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit +9,000, and throughout the tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted that Jon Rahm would be victorious in the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model surpassed Rahm’s second major career win over the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead in the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the model’s second consecutive victory at the Masters, which also guaranteed Scheffler’s victory in 2022.
Additionally, McClure’s best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing at the top of the table 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic rankings.
This same model also hit 11 majors entering the weekend and has reached the Masters three years in a row. Anyone who followed it saw massive returns.
Now with the 2024 PGA Championship field taking shape, SportsLine has simulated the tournament 10,000 times and the results have been surprising. Visit SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 PGA Championship Predictions
A big surprise: Collin Morikawa, with a 22-1 chance, has a good campaign for the title. He is a target for anyone looking for a big payday. The 27-year-old Californian is already a six-time PGA Tour winner and two-time major champion, winning the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park and the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St. Louis.
Morikawa is currently ranked 13th in the Official World Golf Rankings and 11th in the FedEx Cup standings, after following up his t-3rd at the Masters with a ninth-place finish at the RBC Heritage. He has been eliminated all four times he has played in the PGA Championship and has finished in the top 10 in eight of his 17 career major championship starts.
The model also examined where Tiger Woods ends up. The 48-year-old was cut at Augusta, but the wheels fell off over the weekend and he finished 60th overall out of 60 players who survived the cut. However, he will have the luxury of playing on another field where he has had much success.
He won the PGA Championship at Valhalla in 2000 but missed the cut when it was played on the same course in 2014. However, Tiger just finished his first four-round PGA Tour event since the 2023 Genesis Invitational at Augusta last month and He’ll try to build on that as he continues to try to adapt his game to his physical limitations. The model just finalized his Tiger Woods PGA Championship picks here..
