The first major of the season belongs to Scottie Scheffler, which means it is time to look forward to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. Scheffler is the 4-1 favorite in the 2024 PGA Championship odds for the second major of the year, followed by Jon Rahm (9-1) and Rory McIlroy (10-1). McIlroy returns to Valhalla a decade after he won his second PGA Championship in dramatic fashion. Several of the sport’s biggest names have won the PGA Championship in recent years, including Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa. Which golfers should you back with your 2024 PGA Championship bets when the tournament gets underway on Thursday, May 16?
Before locking in any 2024 PGA Championship picks of your own, entering PGA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, or finalizing PGA Championship props and PGA Championship Pick Six entries, be sure to see the 2024 PGA Championship golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine through your free CBS Sports account here.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now with the PGA Championship 2024 field taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Join SportsLine using your CBS Sports account now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 PGA Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 PGA Championship: Brooks Koepka, a three-time PGA champion and one of the favorites, stumbles and doesn’t even crack the top 10. Koepka has five major tournament wins on his resume and a reputation for elevating his level of play in big events. However, his last two major starts haven’t gone well as he was 45th at the Masters, which followed a 64th-place finish at last year’s Open Championship. He’s failed to shoot par in each of his last seven rounds at major tournaments.
After notching three tournament wins in 2023, including last year’s PGA Championship, it has been tough sledding for Koepka in 2024. He has no victories, or even top-fives, and across his six starts, he has three times as many finishes outside the top 25 (three) as he has inside the top 10 (one). He played Valhalla at the 2014 PGA Championship and finished in a tie for 15th place, but that placement ranks just eighth out of his 11 career PGA Championship starts.
Another surprise: Will Zalators, a 25-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Zalatoris is a three-time runner-up in majors, including the 2022 PGA Championship. His other appearance in this event resulted in an eighth-place in 2021, as he missed all four majors last year due to a back injury.
Zalatoris returned to the major scene in April for the 2024 Masters, where he finished ninth at Augusta National. He now has seven top-10 finishes in last 10 major appearances, so a breakthrough victory seems inevitable. Sportsbooks continue to offer him at longshot odds, so the model thinks this is the time to take advantage of the value.

How to make 2024 PGA Championship picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds longer than 20-1 to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks by using your CBS Sports account to join SportsLine.
