For the 2024 PGA Tour season, my boss asked me to make my picks. As I first thought, I thought I was being punished for something I did wrong, but I was told it was just for fun.
In a fun and happy mood, I present to you my choices for 2024.
You need to laugh.
The Sentry: Tony Finau
But the stiff-upper-lip crowd in Ponte Vedra won’t give him a chance because he went to LIV. Jon Rahm would have been my choice.
Sony Open in Hawaii: Lucas Glover
The American Express: Sam Burns
Farmers Insurance Open: Ludvig Aberg
The Swede is now the best at everything he does. It looks like Torrey Pines might be a great place for him to play.
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Jordan Spieth
WM Phoenix Open: Rickie Fowler
Fowler, who is 35 years old, seems to like golf in senior communities, which are common in Phoenix.
The Genesis Invitational: Scottie Scheffler
Mexico Open at Vidanta: Kurt Kitayama
Cognizant Classic: Shane Lowry
Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard: Tyrrell Hatton
Puerto Rico Open: Gary Woodland
You can laugh, but he will play like his life depends on it when he gets back. It’s interesting how things look different after you lose something.
The Players Championship: Viktor Hovland
Valspar Championship: Erik van Rooyen
Texas Children’s Houston Open: Chris Kirk
Valero Texas Open: Sepp Straka
Masters Tournament: Brooks Koepka
Is it déjà vu? No, it’s payback.
RBC Heritage: Matt Fitzpatrick
He really likes Hilton Head, so he will go again.
Corales Puntacana Championship: Davis Thompson
Zurich Classic of New Orleans: Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick
AT&T Byron Nelson: Austin Eckroat
Wells Fargo Championship: Rory McIlroy
Myrtle Beach Classic: David Lipsky
PGA Championship: Bryson DeChambeau
I think he’ll have a monster in 2024, so why not bring down Valhalla?
Charles Schwab Challenge: Kevin Streelman
RBC Canadian Open: Corey Conners
The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday: Tommy Fleetwood
U.S. Open: Jordan Spieth
Spieth hasn’t won a major in a while, so why not do it somewhere where length isn’t as important and short game and putting skills are needed?
Travelers Championship: Hideki Matsuyama
Rocket Mortgage Classic: Collin Morikawa
Revenge on his mind.
John Deere Classic: Zach Johnson
Genesis Scottish Open: Rory McIlroy
British Open: Max Homa
Came into his own in 2023, a major seems within his grasp in 2024.
Barracuda Championship: Chesson Hadley
3M Open: Tony Finau
Men’s Olympic Golf Tournament: Ludvig Aberg
He plays like he was meant to play on a course where you hit the ball a lot, like the Albatross course at Le Golf National.
Wyndham Championship: Billy Horschel
FedEx St. Jude Championship: Patrick Cantlay
BMW Championship: Rory McIlroy
Tour Championship: Xander Schauffele
It has been in the top ten all seven times, with a win in 2017 and three runner-ups.
