The 2024 PGA Championship begins Thursday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville and there are 156 players in the 2024 PGA Championship field. That includes Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler, who missed last week’s Wells Fargo Championship after the birth of her first child. Scheffler won the 2024 Masters by four strokes to earn his second green jacket and could be sky-high in the 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings with wins in four of his last five starts.
Scheffler is the +300 favorite (bet $100 to win $300) in the 2024 PGA Championship odds, followed by Rory McIlroy (+600) and Brooks Koepka (+1000). Which of golf’s biggest stars should you roster with your 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf picks, and who are some of the dark horses that might be worth adding to your 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf lineups? Before making any 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf picks, you should see PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings from SportsLine handicapper Eric Cohen.
Cohen is an avid golf bettor who has correctly predicted the outright pre-tournament winner of the 2024 Masters (Scottie Scheffler, +350), Players Championship (Scheffler +550), 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic (Rickie Fowler +1400), 2023 PGA Championship (Brooks Koepka +2000), 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 US Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500) and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scheffler’s first career victory in +2800).
Cohen contributes to SportsLine’s YouTube shows, including “Early Edge,” and is the host of the golf show “The Early Wedge.” Anyone who has followed Cohen’s predictions has seen positive gains in their golf choices.
Now, Cohen has ranked his top golfers for the 2024 PGA Championship. Cohen’s picks are only available on SportsLine.
2024 PGA Championship Expert Picks
For the 2024 PGA Championship, Cohen is backing 2023 US Open winner Wyndham Clark (+1600). A highly touted college starter at Oregon, Clark had to work hard on the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour before finally scoring a game-changing victory at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. However, that four-stroke victory in an exclusive event clearly unlocked his star potential.
Clark would follow that up with a victory at the Los Angeles Country Club in the US Open six weeks later and then added a third win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Invitational in February. He has finished third or better in three of his last five starts and the third player in the Official World Golf Ranking is a clear threat at the 2024 PGA Championship.
“Clark is part of golf’s elite, having won three major tournaments last year, including the US Open. He has the mental toughness to beat the best in golf once again,” Cohen told SportsLine.
On the other hand, Cohen is fading Patrick Cantlay at +2200. The 32-year-old is currently ranked eighth in the world and an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour, but has been unable to change direction at a major championship on a regular basis.
Cantlay has finished in the top 10 just four times in 28 major championship starts and has been outside the top 20 in five of his seven PGA Championship starts. He has just two top 10s in nine starts on the PGA Tour in 2024 and is a player to avoid at his current price. See all of Cohen’s PGA Championship picks at SportsLine.
