2024 RBC Canadian Open picks, predictions, odds, field: Proven golf expert backing Alex Noren in Ontario

The PGA Tour moves north of the border for the only time this season when the 2024 RBC Canadian Open begins Thursday at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Hamilton, Ontario. Last year, Nick Taylor buried a 72-foot putt on the fourth hole of a playoff against Tommy Fleetwood to become the first Canadian to win the tournament since Pat Fletcher in 1964. This year, Taylor has +6,000 odds to defend his title with success according to the latest RBC Canadian Open odds for 2024.

Meanwhile, four-time major winner Rory McIlroy is the heavy favorite at +360. He is coming off a 12th-place finish at the PGA Championship two weeks ago. Fleetwood (+1600) and Sahith Theegala (+1800) round out the top three picks at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open. Before locking in any 2024 RBC Canadian Open picks, be sure 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 47-30-3 and returning 14.09 units in that span. This represents a profit of $1,409 for $100 bettors since May 2023.

Nejad also nailed Wyndham Clark, 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 RBC Canadian Open field and pinned down his best bets, best sleepers and favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.

2024 RBC Canadian Open Experts’ Top Picks

A surprise: Nejad is completely disappearing from Canadian Corey Conners. One of the shortest prices in the category, +2,200, Conners has no top 10 finishes and six top 25 finishes in 14 starts this year. He is coming off a 26th-place showing at the PGA Championship.

However, Conners has struggled with his short game. He ranks 148th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: around the green (-0.255) this season. “Conners is an elite forward, but his short game has enough holes to prevent him from beating the entire field in four rounds,” Nejad told SportsLine.

Instead, Nejad has a strong odds on Alex Noren, who is listed at +2200 on the PGA odds board. The 41-year-old Swede has one top-10 finish and nine top-25 finishes in 2024. Earlier this month, he secured third place in the CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

Nejad likes Noren’s versatile game. He ranks fourth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: total (1,382). He has also been extremely effective with iron in hand, ranking sixth on the greens in regulation percentage (71.32%). “Noren is doing everything well and has results that support solid metrics,” said Nejad.
