The 2024 Wells Fargo Championship is scheduled to begin on Thursday, May 9, and several golfers will enter this week’s event confident that they can secure victory. Wyndham Clark is the defending champion and is coming off a T-3 finish at the RBC Heritage. With another victory at Quail Hollow this week, he will become the first golfer to win this event in consecutive years.
Meanwhile, 25-time PGA Tour champion Rory McIlroy can add to his impressive resume with a win at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy, a three-time winner of this event, is the 15-2 favorite according to the latest Championship Odds 2024 Wells Fargo. He is followed by Xander Schauffele (10-1), Ludvig Aberg (12-1) and Clark (18-1) on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2024 Wells Fargo Championship picks, be sure to see golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s 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 more than $9,000 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, Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players Championship and RBC Heritage 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.

Top Wells Fargo Championship Predictions for 2024
A big surprise the model is waiting for at the Wells Fargo Championship 2024: Wyndham Clark, the defending champion and one of the main favorites, stumbles this week and barely makes it into the top 10. Clark has played extremely well in 2024, securing one win and two runners-up.
However, Clark has finished T-31 or worse in two of his last three PGA Tour starts, which includes a missed cut at the Masters. He has also struggled with accuracy off the tee this season. The 30-year-old enters this week’s event ranked 111th for driving accuracy (60.10%). Quail Hollow values positioning off the tee, which doesn’t bode well for Clark’s chances of repeating as champion.
Another surprise: Justin Thomas, with a 30-1 chance, has a good campaign for the title. He has a much better chance of winning it all than his odds suggest, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a big payday.
Thomas certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard at Quail Hollow. The 31-year-old has won 15 times on the PGA Tour, which includes two major championships. Thomas is also coming off a T-5 at the RBC Heritage and enters this week’s event ranked seventh in strokes gained: approach to the green (0.712), eighth in birdie average (4.62) and 11th in putting average (1.710 ). He’s ranked just 124th on the greens in regulation percentage (64.44%), but if he’s hitting the ball well at Quail Hollow, he’ll have a great chance of finishing at the top of the leaderboard.
