2024 Charles Schwab Challenge odds, picks: Predictions and best bets for this week's PGA Tour event from a golf expert

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler seeks his fifth win in seven events when the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge begins on Thursday at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Scheffler, who was runner-up in this tournament in 2022, has recorded nine consecutive top-10 finishes after securing a T-8 finish at the PGA Championship last week. It was the worst performance in six outings for the 27-year-old, who registered four victories and a runner-up in his previous five starts on the PGA Tour.

Scheffler is the +300 favorite in the latest 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge odds. Collin Morikawa is the +1400 second choice, while 2016 winner Jordan Spieth is +1800. Max Homa is +2200 and Tony Finau rounds out the top choices in the Charles Schwab Challenge 2024 field at +3300. Defending champion Emiliano Grillo is a +12000 longshot.

Before locking in any 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge picks, make sure you see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He's had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets, as well as in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been solid with his head-to-head matchups since last year's Charles Schwab Challenge, going 40-27-3 and returning 9.14 units over that span. That's a $914 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.

Nejad also nailed 75-1 longshot Wyndham Clark as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship. In 2023, SportsLine debuted The Early Wedge, and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.

Now, Nejad has been digging into the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

One surprise: Nejad is fading Jordan Spieth, even though he is one of the favorites at +1800. Another curveball: Nejad is high on Collin Morikawa (+1400). "I'm considering Morikawa due to his driving accuracy, iron play and the short game, which really has heated up lately (outside of an extremely poor Sunday PUTT performance at the PGA Championship), Nejad told SportsLine.

Moreover, Nejad has his eye on a longshot who's priced at more than +10000! This player "can do enough with the putter to potentially spike" and is a longshot who could surprise. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge picks of your own!

So which 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge golfers should you target or avoid? And which player could bring a huge payday at more than +10000? ...
