PGA Betting Preview: The American Express
January 18, 2024
The 2024 American Express is approaching soon on a variety of golf courses in La Quinta, California starting Thursday, January 18. The current prize purse is sitting at $8,400,000, which makes this a compelling event to watch. Currently, Scottie Scheffler leads the field as a moneyline favorite at +500.
American Express Betting Preview
The American Express will take place on three separate golf courses. These will be at the PGA West Private Clubhouse & Golf Courses, which are in the Stadium, Nicklaus Course, and the La Quinta Country Club.
One thing for certain in this year’s tournament is that there will not be a repeat winner from Jon Rahm, as he is competing with the LIV Tour. With that being said, this tournament is quite stacked in comparison to toast week’s event.
Golfers with Best Chance to Win
The 2024 American Express offers a compelling field to consider for your betting picks. Below you can compare which golfers could likely land in the top 10 or potentially win it all.
Patrick Cantlay +1000
Cantlay has success at this event and is a compelling option. He is currently ranked as the fifth-best golfer in the world and has a T12 finish under his belt at The Sentry last week.
In three of his last four starts here, he has placed in the top 10, with a runner-up three years back. If Scottie Scheffler was not on the board, he would obviously be the betting favorite.
Sungjae Im +2000
Im currently sits at the 27
th
spot for the world rankings and has an opportunity to move higher. In his most recent start, he placed T5 at The Sentry with a final score of -25.
He appears to be in great form after having several successful days of golf in the last tournament. He also carries four top-12’s and one T18 here at this event, making him a dangerous opponent entering with great momentum.
Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
The 2024 American Express has more than enough golfers to consider based on your betting preferences. MyBookie is currently showing Scottie Scheffler (+500) as the favorite to succeed in this event. Plenty of golfers make a strong case to be chosen here, but one in particular continues to make the case.
Scottie Scheffler +500
Scheffler is getting to the point where if you do not pick him and he wins, it feels like you would hear the “told ya so” phrase from everyone in the sports world. His level of consistency has been impeccable and he has not shown any signs of slowing down.
Prior to his recent T5 finish at The Sentry, he won the Hero World Challenge to finish off the 2023 campaign back in late November. Last year here, he finished T11 and was just a few strokes back from making the top five.
Final Pick: Take Scottie Scheffler to Win at +500
