The PGA Tour visits its most raucous venue of the year when a full field tees off in the 2024 WM Phoenix Open beginning on Thursday at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Ariz. With its famous par-3 16th hole, the tournament annually attracts the biggest party crowd in golf. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won the tournament the last two years and is the favorite in the 2024 WM Phoenix Open odds at 9-2. Justin Thomas (+1000), Max Homa (+1400), Jordan Spieth (+1800) and Sam Burns (+2000) round out the top five on the odds board in the WM Phoenix Open field. 

Before locking in any Phoenix 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 on fire with his head-to-head matchups since last year's Charles Schwab Challenge, going 29-16-1 and returning 10.25 units over that span. That's a $1,025 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 Phoenix Open field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Scottie Scheffler (+450). However, Nejad is high on the chances of Sahith Theegala (+3500). "His recent history and metrics are solid, and while he can be a little too inaccurate with the driver, his ball-striking and greens in regulation stats have been very good," Nejad told SportsLine.

Moreover, Nejad is jumping on several underdogs, including one longshot who's priced at more than 70-1. This player is "trending well with the putter" and is a longshot who could surprise. If he does, you could cash in HUGE. You need to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Phoenix Open picks of your own.

So which 2024 Phoenix Open players should you target or avoid? And which player could bring a big payday at more than 70-1? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Sia Nejad's top picks for the 2024 Phoenix Open, all from the expert who is 29-16-1 on his last 46 head-to-head picks!
