2024 Procore Championship predictions, expert picks, odds, field rankings, golf best bets for FedEx Cup Fall

[ad_1]

The second edition of the FedEx Cup Fall gets underway this week in Napa, California, at the 2024 Procore Championship. Returning to Silverardo Resort and Spa once again, the PGA Tour welcomes an eclectic field filled with veterans, young guns and Presidents Cup participants.

Americans Sahith Theegala, Max Homa and Wyndham Clark lead the way in California. Theegala and Homa combined have the last three Proscore titles between them, which makes Silverado a strong warmup as the Americans hopes to play itself into Royal Montreal having learned some hard lessons from last year’s Ryder Cup. Theegala and Clark made their way to East Lake Golf Club for the Tour Champoinship, while Homa hopes to find some form after being chosen as a captain’s pick by Jim Furyk.

Homa endured a horrible back half to his season riddle by trouble off the tee. He has since parted way with his long time swing coach, Mark Blackburn. On the other side of the aisle, representing the International team at Proscore are Mackenzie Hughes, Corey Conners and Min Woo Lee. Unlike Conners, Hughes and Lee have more than just form to play for as both missed out on the top 50 that qualifies for signature events in 2025.

Entering the week at Nos. 52 and 60, respectively, Hughes and Lee will hope to remain inside The Next 10 — the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup Fall who will ultimately qualify for the first two signature events of 2025. 

Amateur Luke Clanton returns to the PGA Tour and looks keen on contending again along with budding superstar Michael Thorbjornsen. Maverick McNealy, Eric Cole, Patrick Rodgers and Beau Hossler are among those searching for their first career PGA Tour victories in wine country.

2024 Procore Championship field, odds

• Sahith Theegala (11-1): The defending champion returns to Napa with a wave of form behind him. Finishing third in the 2024 FedEx Cup, Theegala posted career highs in terms of total strokes gained, strokes gained off the tee and strokes gained approach. While his ball striking took a nice step last season, his short game was shakier than usual. If he cleans that up, he will have a great chance to go back-to-back like Homa did a couple years ago.
• Wyndham Clark (12-1)
• Corey Conners (14-1): Conners had one of the more underrated seasons as he put together his best year with his irons but failed to qualify for the Tour Championship. The Canadian was as consistent as they came in 2024, but the upside was lacking primarily due to his struggles on and around the green. It’s that area of the game to keep an eye on at Silverado as Conners has struggled in four prior appearances due to his short-game shortcomings.
• Luke Clanton (16-1): Clanton comes back to the PGA Tour following a run at the U.S. Amateur that saw him qualify for match play before getting bounced in the Round of 32. On the PGA Tour, he has looked like a pro with a top-five finish at the Wyndham Championship and runner-up result at the John Deere Classic. Clanton has plenty of power at his disposal and could once again threaten as the second amateur to win in less than a year.
• Max Homa (20-1): Homa hopes for a little home cooking this week as he was dreadful to end his 2024. Without a top-20 finish since early May, the six-time PGA Tour winner struggled mightily with the big stick in hand and was ultimately unable to qualify for the Tour Championship. While the driver was the biggest concern, his irons and putter were not much better. The good news is he has three straight top 10s in Napa, including victories in 2021-22.
• Min Woo Lee (22-1): The Australian’s first full-time season on the PGA Tour featured a lot of good — but not great — golf. Lee captured a couple runner-up finishes, but those were his only top 20s on the season. He tacked on seven top 25s as he seemed to live on the third page of the leaderboard thanks to his strong driving acumen and nifty short game. Lee will need to take a step with his irons if he expects to contend on a more regular basis and solidify his spot in the signature events.
• Maverick McNealy (25-1)
• Keith Mitchell (30-1)
• J.J. Spaun (40-1)
• Eric Cole (40-1)
