Players Championship Odds & Favorites 2024: Scheffler Looks to Defend at TPC Sawgrass

sportsbookreview.com
 

Scottie Scheffler will soon look to defend his most recent PGA Tour title, and he's been set as the betting favorite by the Players Championship odds from our best golf betting sitesto do just that.

Scottie Scheffler won the 2023 Players Championship by five strokes over Tyrrell Hatton at 17-under par. What was his second win of 2023, and sixth since February 2022, is still his most recent PGA Tour victory. Still, Scheffler remains comfortably at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) as he opens as the betting favorite by the 2024 Players Championship odds.

Known as the strongest field in golf, the Players Championship field isn't yet officially set. That will come on Friday, and there may be more changes to come by Monday following the results of this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. That said, this week's Signature Event hosts a much smaller but very comparable field, and will be a good gauge of what may be to come at TPC Sawgrass.

Here's our breakdown of the 2024 Players Championship odds from our best sports betting sites.

Who is the Players Championship favorite?

Scottie Scheffler (+800 via Caesars)

Scheffler won the 2023 Players Championship in dominant fashion but that breakthrough at TPC Sawgrass followed a T-55 finish in 2022 and a missed cut in 2021 after the 2020 event was canceled amid COVID-19.

That course history may make the +800 odds (representing an implied win probability of 11.11%) tough to swallow. Despite Scheffler's status as the No. 1 player in the world and the defending champion of this event, there's no need to rush out for this +800 ticket from Caesars.

The results of this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational will heavily influence next week's odds. A subpar showing from Scheffler this week would result in slightly more profitable Players Championship odds for bettors.
