The PGA Tour returns to Texas for the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open beginning on Thursday at Memorial Park Golf Course. The Houston Open was a mainstay on the PGA Tour's spring calendar for decades before moving to the fall in 2019. For this week, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite in the 2024 Houston Open odds at +260. Wyndham Clark (+1200), Will Zalatoris (+1800), Sahith Theegala (+1800) and defending champion Tony Finau (+2500) round out the top five choices in the Houston Open 2024 field. 

Before locking in any 2024 Houston Open 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 and 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 36-22-2 and returning 9.953 units over that span. That's a $995 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 Houston Open field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

One surprise: Nejad is fading Tony Finau, even though he is one of the major contenders (+2500). Another curveball: Nejad is high on Wyndham Clark (+1200). "He's adept in the short game, and that gives him the complete game to succeed this week," Nejad told SportsLine.

Moreover, Nejad is jumping on a longshot who's priced at more than 50-1! This player "can really spike with the ball-striking and short game" and is a longshot who could surprise. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Houston Open picks of your own!

So which 2024 Houston Open golfers should you target or avoid? And which player could bring a huge payday at more than 50-1? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Sia Nejad's top picks for the 2024 Houston Open, all from the expert who is 36-22-2 on his last 60 head-to-head picks!
