World No. 2 Rory McIlroy will try to stay warm when the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship begins, starting Thursday at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. The four-time Major winner won New Orleans’ Zurich Classic two weeks ago with teammate Shane Lowry, notching his first PGA Tour win since last year’s Genesis Scottish Open. This week, he will try to win the Wells Fargo Championship for the fourth time.
McIlroy is the favorite in the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship odds at +650. Xander Schauffele is the +900 second pick in the 69-player field. Defending champion Wyndham Clark (+1600), Patrick Cantlay (+1800) and Max Homa (+2200) round out the top five picks on the PGA odds board.

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He has had incredible success in the outright leader and first round markets and in head-to-head betting.

This represents a profit of $1,064 for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also nailed Clark, at a long shot at 75-1, as the outright winner of the Wells Fargo Championship. In 2023, SportsLine premiered “The Early Wedge” and, in the show’s first three months, has hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.
Now, Nejad has turned his attention to the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship field and locked in his best bets, best sleepers and favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.
2024 Wells Fargo Championship Experts’ Top Picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading away from Tommy Fleetwood, even though he is one of the favorites at +2200. A winner of more than $22.4 million in his career, Fleetwood is coming off his worst finish on the PGA Tour this season: a 49th-place finish at the RBC Heritage three weeks ago. It was an exclusive event that featured just 69 players and there was no cut.
Furthermore, Fleetwood is still looking for his first career PGA Tour victory. Fleetwood, who played his first tour event in 2013, is winless in 134 PGA Tour starts. “He has not demonstrated any ability to close out on the PGA Tour throughout his career and this is not the field for him to finally do it,” Nejad told SportsLine.
However, Nejad has a strong odds on Wyndham Clark, who is +1600 on the Wells Fargo Championship odds. Ranked third in the world, Clark has one win, two seconds and four top-10 finishes in 10 events this season. He hasn’t played since finishing third at the RBC Heritage three weeks ago.
Last year, Clark set the tournament scoring record (265) and earned his first career PGA Tour victory. He aims to become the first player in the tournament’s history to successfully defend his title. “He fits perfectly on the field because he has the starting game and is ready to compete,” Nejad said.
