Last week's Sony Open produced a shocking result as Grayson Murray (+35000 pre tournament) shocked the golf world with the victory in a three-way playoff over Keegan Bradley and Byeong Hun An. Considering Chris Kirk was +15000 before The Sentry the week prior, will the longshot victors continue this week as the PGA Tour heads back to the Palm Springs area in California. The American Express is a pro-am meaning two players and two amateurs will compete across three different courses from Thursday through Saturday. This week the Pete Dye Stadium Course (formerly PGA West), the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West, and La Quinta Country Club will all be utilized until the final day, when the top-65 and ties will play the Stadium Course to determine the final result.

With the biggest names in golf playing for $8.4 million in purse money, who can you trust for your The American Express Fantasy golf picks? Before you set your The American Express 2024 Fantasy golf lineups or make any PGA Tour bets, you NEED to see the Fantasy golf rankings from Fantasy expert Eric Cohen.

Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic (Rickie Fowler +1400), 2023 PGA Championship (Brooks Koepka +2000), 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 U.S. Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500), and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scottie Scheffler's first career victory at +2800). 

Eric is a contributor to SportsLine's YouTube shows including "Early Edge" and "The Early Wedge" golf show. Anyone who has followed Cohen's predictions has made positive gains on their golf picks.

Now, Cohen has studied the field set to play in the Coachella Valley and revealed his 2024 The American Express Fantasy golf rankings. 

We can tell you he is backing PGA Tour veteran J.T. Poston at +3500. "Poston can roll it on the greens with the best of them. He's gained at least two strokes putting in 11 of his last 14 events, which is a great sign going into this weekend."

On the other hand, Cohen is fading Min Woo Lee, who is the sixth betting choice at +2500, and says he falls outside the top-10. "I think he'll win somewhere this season but not going to pick it this week, especially as the sixth-priced golfer on the board and coming off the layoff. A near top-10 finish seems like his ceiling especially with no course familiarity."

Cohen also is backing several underdogs in his 2024 The American Express Fantasy golf picks, including one HUGE longshot who comes in at 130-1! If this player can pull off a stunning result, he would bring a HUGE payoff and be a valuable piece for The American Express Fantasy golf lineups. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any fantasy golf picks.
