World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is looking for his fifth win in seven events when the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge begins Thursday at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Scheffler, who was runner-up at this tournament in 2022, has recorded nine consecutive top-10 finishes after tying for eighth at the PGA Championship last weekend. It was the worst performance in six matches for the 27-year-old, who had recorded four wins and a runner-up finish in his previous five matches. Scheffler has posted 38 top-10s over the past three seasons, 11 more than the next closest golfer, and boasts the second-longest active streak on the PGA Tour with 36 consecutive cuts made.
Scheffler, who leads all players with 10 PGA Tour victories over the past three seasons, is the heavy favorite at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge odds at +300. Collin Morikawa is the second pick at +1400 and 2016 winner Jordan Spieth is at +1800. Max Homa is +2200 and Tony Finau rounds out the top five picks in the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge field at +3300. Before securing any 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge picks, you need to see PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf and fantasy betting expert Sia Nejad.
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. He’s also been solid in his head-to-head matchups since last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge, going 39-27-2 and returning 8.31 units in that span. That represents a profit of $831 for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also shot Wyndham Clark 75-1 as the outright winner in 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 focused his attention on the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge field and made his best bets, the best sleepers and the favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.
2024 Charles Schwab Challenge Experts’ Top Picks
One surprise: Nejad is fading Jordan Spieth, even though he is one of the favorites at +1800. The 30-year-old Texan won this tournament in 2016 and has finished runner-up three times. But he missed the cut last year for the first time in 11 starts after tying for seventh in 2022. That match was his fourth consecutive top-10 finish and eighth overall in the tournament.
However, Spieth has not had a PGA Tour victory since winning the RBC Heritage in April 2022 and has recorded just three top 10s in 13 events this year. He has missed the cut four times in 2024, been disqualified in one tournament and finished 29th or worse on five occasions — including last weekend, when he tied for 43rd at the PGA Championship.
Instead, Nejad has a long shot at Collin Morikawa, who is listed at +1400. Ranked ninth in the world, Morikawa is coming off one of his best performances of the season when he tied for fourth at the PGA Championship last weekend in Valhalla. It was the 27-year-old Californian’s third top-10 finish in five events and his second top-five finish at a major this year, following his tie for third place at the Masters in April.
Morikawa is hoping to bounce back from three straight disappointing starts at this tournament after a stellar effort in his 2020 debut. In that event, he was tied for the lead after 72 holes, but missed a short putt for par on the first playoff hole and lost to Daniel Berger. Morikawa finished 14th the following year, but was 40th in 2022 and 29th last season. See which other golfers to support on SportsLine.
