The 2024 PGA Championship returns to Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville starting Thursday for the first time since 2014. Rory McIlroy won the 2014 PGA Championship for his first of two major titles that year, but the 26-time PGA Tour winner did not win one important since then. He has the second-lowest 2024 PGA Championship odds at 6-1. Given his perfect record on the course and few golfers in the 2024 PGA Championship field who have already played in a major at Valhalla Golf Club, should you use McIlroy in your 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf lineups?
Scottie Scheffler is the 3-1 favorite in the latest 2024 PGA Championship odds and could be at the top of many 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf rankings. You’d better disappear with the world’s #1 fantasy golf picks to differentiate yourself from others making 2024 PGA Championship fantasy golf picks? 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 with +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). Clark had a tough performance at last weekend’s Wells Fargo Championship, finishing T-47, but the 30-year-old finished T-3 at the RBC Heritage the week before. Clark has three top-three finishes in his last six tournaments, including second place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and T-2 at The Players Championship in consecutive weekends in March. Only Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 golfer, had better scores than Clark in the two March tournaments.
The 2024 PGA Championship will be just the ninth major of Clark’s career and he already has a major title under his belt. Clark won last year’s US Open, so he has proven capable of excelling under the pressure of playing in major championships. Clark is third in the FedEx Cup standings this year with four top-10 finishes in 11 events, including victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, and he is fourth on the PGA Tour in total strokes won this season.
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.
