Golf’s Major Intrigue Heats Up as 2024 Season Approaches
(March 27, 2023 – BetMGM Sportsbook)
As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Masters Tournament, the golfing world’s attention has shifted toward the 2024 major championship season. With the potential for at least one, and possibly two, first-time major winners, bettors have an enticing opportunity to predict the next breakout stars.
The 2024 major slate promises an exciting journey, featuring:
- The PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club
- The U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort
- The Open Championship at the historic Royal Troon Golf Club.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads the charge to capture one of the four coveted major titles, priced at an enticing +125. However, history suggests the likelihood of new faces emerging, with an average of two first-time major winners per year since World War II.
“Intriguing options abound, with Viktor Hovland (+225), Will Zalatoris (+500), Xander Schauffele (+550), Ludvig Åberg (+550), Patrick Cantlay (+600), and Max Homa (+700) among the top contenders to join the major winners’ club.”
Schauffele, in particular, presents an appealing value proposition, given his recent run of impressive major performances.
Beyond individual event triumphs, the potential for players to secure multiple major victories in a single season adds further intrigue. Scheffler is priced at +800 to achieve this feat, a milestone not seen since Brooks Koepka’s dual major wins in 2018. Rory McIlroy (+1000), Koepka (+3300), and Jordan Spieth (+4000) also offer enticing options for bettors seeking a player capable of capturing lightning in a bottle.
The low aggregate score market across all four majors promises to captivate golf enthusiasts. Scheffler, renowned for his remarkable consistency, leads the way at +350, making a compelling case for those seeking a reliable performer. Wyndham Clark (+200) and Tony Finau (+200) also present intriguing value plays for bettors seeking players who can navigate the rigors of major championship golf.
As the countdown to the 2024 major season intensifies, the golfing landscape promises a thrilling blend of familiar favorites and emerging talents. Navigating the diverse array of betting options available at BetMGM Sportsbook will be a captivating journey for golf enthusiasts seeking to capitalize on the sport’s unfolding drama.
