2024 Players Championship Round 4 Odds & Picks: Schauffele Overtakes Clark as Favorite

sportsbookreview.com

17 March 2024

Xander Schauffele’s 7-under-par outing in Round 3 on Saturday has him sitting atop the leaderboard along with a one-stroke lead at 17-under-par as we analyze the Players Championship Round 4 odds and picks based on odds from our best golf betting sites.

Xander Schauffele wasn’t the only golfer who flooded his scorecard with birdies Saturday. Brian Harman managed to go even lower with a third-round score of 64, draining nine birdies to launch himself into contention, sitting alone in third place at 15-under-par.

Wyndham Clark, who held a four-stroke lead entering Round 3 at TPC Sawgrass, managed to go 2-under-par, but it wasn’t good enough to keep up with Schauffele and Harman. Sahith Theegala also climbed into T-6 alongside Scottie Scheffler, at 12-under-par.

Scheffler, the defending champion of this event, has to be flawless like he was last Sunday at Bay Hill. It's important to note that no golfer has ever won back-to-back at The Players Championship. Will the 50th edition see this streak come to an end? Or will a new face take the winning podium on Sunday afternoon?

Here are the live Players Championship Round 4 odds and picks for Saturday based on the Players Championship odds from our best sports betting sites.

Players Championship odds: Round 4

I’m doubling down on Sahith Theegala after recommending him in my Players Championship Round 3 picks for a top 10 finish. We’re getting similar odds for the California native compared to Saturday, landing +190 odds at DraftKings.

Theegala’s top-50 for Round-4 scoring average and he is 21st in strokes gained: putting. Off the tee, Theegala is solid, ranked 29th in strokes gained, so he can utilize these two assets in his favor to ensure he continues piling up birdies. After all, he is 20th in birdie-or-better conversion rate, averaging 4.6 per round in 2024.

Scottie Scheffler Outright Winner ⭐⭐⭐

Unlike betting on Theegala to seize a top 5 finish, which we’ve stamped with a 5-star rating, investing in Scheffler to win outright is only a 3-star wager. However, we have to pounce on the value we’re getting on the defending Players champion since Scheffler opened at +550 on most sportsbooks.

He hasn’t been bad by any stretch this weekend. Others in the field have simply been better. Scheffler ranks second in Round-4 scoring average, so he’ll be dialed in, only five strokes off the lead.

We’re attempting to make history with this wager. It’s a fun bet, so only make it for half a unit, but confidence in Scheffler on Sundays is high enough to justify betting on the PGA Tour’s best ball-striker.

How to bet on golf

Betting on golf involves understanding the various types of bets available and how to assess player performance. First, familiarize yourself with the different types of bets commonly offered in golf, including outright winner bets, each-way bets (which cover both a win and a top finish), head-to-head matchups between two players, and proposition bets on specific events within a tournament, such as hole-in-one occurrences or individual player performances on certain holes.

Once you've identified the types of bets you're interested in, research the players, course conditions, recent form, and other relevant factors that could influence outcomes. Pay attention to factors like player statistics, recent tournament performances, course history, and any injuries or changes in form that may affect a player's performance.

How does live betting work?

Live betting, or in-play betting, enables bettors to place wagers on ongoing sporting events, with odds updating in real time based on game developments. Bettors access a dedicated section of their sportsbook's platform to view available markets and place bets during breaks or while the event is ongoing.

Quick thinking and a strong understanding of the sport are essential for taking advantage of changing odds, with live betting offering opportunities for hedging or adjusting existing bets based on game flow. See our best live betting sites.
