2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans odds, picks, Fantasy golf power rankings: PGA Tour predictions and best bets for this week's event from golf expert
Scottie Scheffler overcame a slow start and continued his dominant run on the PGA Tour with a comfortable victory at the RBC Heritage, which finished early on Monday morning. This week, the annual team competition takes center stage on the PGA Tour as the season's most unique event rolls on from TPC Louisiana. Playing for a purse of $8.9 million, 80 teams of two golfers each will play Four-ball (best ball) in the first and third rounds, as well as Foursomes (alternate shot) in the second and fourth rounds. Last year, Nick Hardy and Davis Riley won the team event at -30 and look to defend their title in 2024.
Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, the 2022 winners, are the +500 favorites, followed by Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry (+800), Will Zalatoris and Sahith Theegala (+1100), and Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama (+1600).
With a competitive field for this PGA Tour team competition, who can you trust for your Zurich Classic of New Orleans golf picks? Before you set your 2024 Zurich Classic 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 2024 Players Championship (Scheffler +550), 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 (Scheffler's first career victory at +2800).Â
Eric is a contributor to SportsLine's YouTube shows including "Early Edge" and is the host of "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 at TPC Louisiana and revealed his Zurich Classic of New Orleans Fantasy golf rankings.Â
We can tell you he is backing the Canadian duo of Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith at +3500, saying: "This all-Canadian team is one to fear, especially with Pendrith coming off a successful week (T11) in Puntacana. Conners is a ball-striking machine and Pendrith is an above-average putter."
On the other hand, Cohen is fading the oddsmakers' second choice, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry. "Both floundered on Sunday at the RBC Heritage and have combined for only three top-10s in 17 tournaments played in the United States in 2024."
Cohen also is backing several underdogs in his 2024 Zurich Classic Fantasy golf picks, including a 130-1 longshot team who is worth a long look! If this team can pull off a stunning result, it would bring a HUGE payoff and be a valuable piece for Zurich Classic Fantasy golf lineups. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any fantasy golf picks.
