This January, the race for the 2024 FedEx Cup will begin at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. 

The 2024 FedEx Cup will begin at the 2024 Sentry Tournament of Champions in January and conclude at the 2024 Tour Championship in August.  

Before we dive into my pick to win the 2024 FedEx Cup let’s take a quick look at top five finishers in the 2023 FedEx Cup standings.

Top Five 2023 FedEx Cup Finishers

1. Viktor Hovland

2. Xander Schauffele 

3. Wyndham Clark

4. Rory McIlroy

5. Patrick Cantlay

Now that we have determined who finished in the top five of the final 2023 FedEx Cup standings let’s shift our focus to my favorite bet to win the 2024 FedEx Cup.

Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to win the 2024 FedEx Cup.    

Max Homa +2000

Since the beginning of July, Max Homa played nine tournemanets (DP World and PGA Tours combined). In those nine events just noted, Max Homa accumulated an impressive eight top 13 finishes, including a win at the 2023 Nedbank Challenge in November.

Due to the fact that Max Homa won the 2023 Nedbank Challenge I decided to take a hard look at the key player statistics for the event to see how Homa fared relative to the field.

Upon completion of four days of competition at the 2023 Nedbank Championship, relative to the field, Max Homa ranked fifth in strokes gained approach (1.62), third in strokes gained tee to green (2.83), fifth in GIR (greens in regulation-76.39%), and third in strokes gained putting (1.80).

In summary, I am backing Max Homa to win the 2024 FedEx Cup at odds of +2000.

This week, the DP World Tour presents golf bettors with the 2023 South African Open.

Before I dive into my favorite prop bets for the 2023 South African Open let’s take a quick look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success this week.

The 2023 South African Open will be played at the Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate in Johannesburg, South Africa. The golf course is a par 71 that measures approximately 8,040 yards. It should be noted that this track is the third longest golf course in the world. 

The key player statistics that I will be focusing on this week are driving distance, strokes gained ball striking, strokes gained approach, and strokes gained putting.

Now let’s shift our focus to my favorite prop bets for the 2023 South African Open.

Top American: Chase Hanna +135 

The talented American has accumulated two top 26 finishes in his last three tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a fourth place result at the 2023 Andulcia Masters last month.

Chase Hanna also checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. Hanna finished fifth at the 2022 South African Open.

Top Englishman: Dan Bradbury +260 

Dan Bradbury arrives at this week’s event in rather good form. More specifically, Dan Bradbury has accumulated five consecutive top 17 finishes on the DP World Tour, including a third place result at last week’s 2023 Joburg Open.

In my opinion, Dan Bradbury is undoubtedly the most talented Englishman in this tournament’s field. Having stated that, I am backing Dan Bradbury to defeat the other English golfers in the field at odds of +260.

This week, the PGA Tour presents golf bettors with the 2023 Hero World Challenge.

Before I dive into my favorite prop bets for this 2023 Hero World Challenge let’s take a quick look at the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I feel are the most vital to a golfer’s success this week.

The 2023 Hero World Challenge will be played at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,449 yards. The Albany Golf Club will present this week’s field with a resort syle golf course that offers rather large generous fairways off the tee. The golf course’s main defense is wind. Having stated that, I highly recommend that all golf bettors pay close attention to the weather forecast prior to making any wagers on this week’s PGA Tour event.

*The Hero World Challenge has been played at the Albany Golf Club since 2015. 

The key player statistics that I will be focusing on this week are GIR (greens in regulation), strokes gained ball striking, strokes gained putting, and birdie or better percentage.

Now let’s shift our attention to my favorite prop bets for the 2023 Hero World Challenge.

Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top five.

Max Homa +150

The talented young American has accumulated two consecutive top seven finishes (DP World and PGA Tours combined), including a win at the 2023 Nedbank Challenge three weeks ago.

In relation to this week’s current listed 2023 Hero World Challenge field, in the last 24 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Max Homa ranks second in birdie or better percentage, fourth in bogey avoidance, and third in strokes gained off the tee.

In summary, I am backing Max Homa to top five at odds of +150.

Here is a golfer to consider placing on your card to finish in the top ten.

Sepp Straka +150

Sepp Straka has accumulated two consecutive top 22 finishes on the DP World Tour, including a tenth place result at the 2023 BMW Championship in September.

Additionally, Sepp Straka finished tenth at the 2023 Hero World Challenge. In my opinion, Sepp Straka’s skills fit this week’s golf course in the Bahamas quite well. I fully expect Straka to play well this weekend.
