The wraparound schedule is a thing of the past and the 2024 season PGA Tour will begin this week with a star-studded field at The Sentry 2024. A 59-player field will tee it up in Maui on the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort and everybody participating was either a winner last season or finished inside the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings. There will be 700 FedEx Cup points on the line for the first signature event the PGA Tour is holding on this new schedule.
Scottie Scheffler is the 11-2 favorite in The Sentry 2024 odds followed by Viktor Hovland (17-2), Ludvig Aberg (13-1) and Collin Morikawa (13-1). Other notables on this week’s PGA Tour odds board include Xander Schauffele (14-1), Max Homa (14-1) and Tom Kim (25-1). Before locking in your The Sentry 2024 picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 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 predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard 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 Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.
In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure’s best bets also included 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 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that The Sentry 2024 field is set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The Sentry 2024 predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at The Sentry 2024: Max Homa, a seven-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, struggles this week and barely cracks the top 10. Homa is coming off a sensational 2022-23 season which saw him secure two wins and 13 top-10 finishes.
Homa finished last season ranked among the best putters on tour, but accuracy has been an issue for him in recent years. In fact, the 33-year-old finished last season ranked 93rd in driving accuracy (60.15%) and 106th in greens in regulation percentage (66.86%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in The Sentry 2024 field.
Another surprise: Jordan Spieth, a 26-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. Spieth has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 30-year-old is already a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour and three-time major champion. He’s back up to No. 15 in the Official World Golf Ranking after falling to as low as 92nd in the world early in 2021.
Spieth earned his way into The Sentry 2024 by way of making the Tour Championship last season and he won this event in 2016. He was also the runner-up at Kapalua in 2014 and finished third in 2017. Spieth most recently finished sixth at the Hero World Challenge last month and had seven top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events last season. See who else to pick here.

The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
