2024 Zurich Classic odds, picks: Proven model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising PGA golf predictions

The 2024 Zurich Classic is the PGA Tour's lone team event of the year. The Zurich Classic is set to get underway on Thursday, April 25, from TPC Louisiana. Eighty teams are set to compete in best ball and alternate shot formats. The first and third rounds are played with best-ball scoring, while the second and fourth rounds are played with alternate shot. 

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay are the 5-1 favorites to win it all according to the latest 2024 Zurich Classic odds. They're followed by Rory McIlroy/Shane Lowry (8-1), Will Zalatoris/Sahith Theegala (11-1), Collin Morikawa/Kurt Kitayama (16-1) and Tom Hoge/Maverick McNealy (25-1) on the PGA odds board. 

We simulated the 2024 Zurich Classic 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Join SportsLine here to see the model's shocking projected leaderboard.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament!

McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, and the RBC Heritage this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000!

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns! Join SportsLine now to see the model's shocking Zurich Classic picks from 10,000 simulations!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Zurich Classic 2024: McIlroy and Lowry, who've combined for 26 wins on the PGA Tour, barely crack the top five. Another surprise: Rasmus Højgaard and Nicolai Højgaard, 35-1 longshots, make a strong run at the title. They're a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!

Also, the model is targeting THREE other teams with odds of 35-1 or longer who will make surprising runs at the title! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any picks!
