PGA Championship 2024 props, golf odds: Expert unveils PGA Tour prop bets, parlay picks, matchups for Valhalla

USATSI

The year's second major begins on Thursday, with the 2024 PGA Championship taking place from Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. Backing Bryson DeChambeau in 2024 PGA Championship prop bets to lead after the first round is an option since not only did he lead after Round 1 of last year's event, but he also did so after this year's Masters. The 2020 U.S. Open winner has placed fourth in two of his last three starts at this major, so backing DeChambeau to notch a top-five finish is one of the many 2024 PGA Championship prop picks available. DeChambeau is +2500 (risk $100 to win $2500) to win in the latest 2024 PGA Championship odds and is one of several golfers seeking a second major victory.

Whether you want to make 2024 PGA Championship prop bets on the tournament winner or leader after a certain round, there is no shortage of options at sportsbooks. Before locking in your 2024 PGA Championship prop picks or entering PGA Championship picks, you need to see what SportsLine DFS pro and PGA expert Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a DFS legend with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA picks dating back to the PGA Tour restart in June of 2020. McClure uses his proprietary simulation model to analyze the field and crush his golf picks. He is up almost $9,000 on his best bets since the restart.

McClure's model 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. Anyone who has followed McClure's picks has seen massive returns.

Now, McClure has dialed in on the PGA Championship golf tournament and just locked in his top prop picks and PGA predictions. You can only see McClure's PGA Championship 2024 prop picks at SportsLine.

Top 2024 PGA Championship prop picks

We can tell you that one of McClure's favorite PGA Championship prop picks is that Tony Finau has a better finish than Sam Burns at +100 odds. Burns has five career PGA Tour victories but truly hasn't come close to winning a major. He's 0 for 15 with a tie for 20th place being his best-ever finish. While Finau has also never won a major, he's been much more competitive in these tournaments. He has 10 top-10 finishes and 13 total finishes in the top 20 -- and better than any of Burns' finishes.

Valhalla will test a golfer's iron game, and Finau is miles ahead of Burns in that aspect. Finau ranks better on tour in strokes gained: approach the green, GIR percentage and strokes gained: around-the-green. The course has among the smallest greens that golfers will see all year, and Finau ranks 16th in GIR percentage, compared to 77th for Burns. The pair's strengths and weaknesses will be magnified at this tournament which is a big reason why McClure likes Finau to finish ahead of Burns among his 2024 PGA Championship props.
