2024 Valspar Championship odds, predictions: Picks and best bets for this week's PGA Tour event from a golf expert

The PGA Tour's Florida Swing concludes this week when 154 players tee off in the 2024 Valspar Championship beginning Thursday at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor. The tournament has attracted several of the Tour's biggest stars, including Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele. Schauffele is the favorite in the Valspar Championship odds, at +700. Sam Burns (+1200), Thomas (+1400), Spieth (+1600) and Brian Harman (+2000) round out the top five choices in the Valspar Championship field. Before locking in any Valspar Championship picks, make sure you see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He's had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been solid with his head-to-head matchups since last year's Charles Schwab Challenge, going 35-21-2 and returning 10.00 units over that span. That's a $1,000 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.

Nejad also nailed 75-1 longshot Wyndham Clark as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship. In 2023, SportsLine debuted "The Early Wedge," and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.

Now, Nejad has been digging into the 2024 Valspar Championship field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.
