The 2024 Paris Olympics have begun and for the third time in a row, men’s golf will be a part of the Summer Games. Justin Rose won gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics while Xander Schauffele was the gold medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were held in 2021 because of the global pandemic. Schauffele has won two major championships this season and now he’s listed at 5-1 in the 2024 Olympic golf odds to win gold once again. His American teammate Scottie Scheffler is the 3-1 favorite in the Olympic men’s golf odds.
Before you consider any 2024 Paris Olympics golf picks, you NEED to check out the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf insider Patrick McDonald.
McDonald joined CBS Sports as a golf writer in 2022 after stops at NBC Sports and RyderCup.com. Covering the sport from a broader perspective, McDonald still likes to dip his toes into the betting pools on a weekly basis between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and more. Featured weekly on the Early Wedge, he has given out numerous winners already in 2024, including Jake Knapp (50-1) at the Mexico Open and Xander Schauffele at the PGA Championship! Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!
Now, McDonald has been digging into the 2024 Paris Olympics golf field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.
We can tell you McDonald is fading Ludvig Aberg (12-1), who is priced too short to back in such a talented field. On the other hand, McDonald loves the value on Sepp Straka (40-1). “Anytime we can get Straka at this price in a 60-man field where only 30 players have a real chance to medal, you got to jump in. The lone Austrian in the games has been stellar in 2024 with three top fives on the PGA Tour and a top 25 in his last start at The Open where he gained in every facet of the game,” McDonald told SportsLine.
In addition, McDonald is jumping on a HUGE underdog to win it all for a massive 50-1 payout! McDonald says this golfer “gained throughout his bag” during his last two starts at the Scottish and British Opens. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Summer Olympics men’s golf picks of your own!
So which 2024 Paris Olympics men’s golf players should you target or avoid, and which golfer could bring a MASSIVE payday of 50-1? … Join SportsLine right now to see Patrick McDonald’s top picks for the 2024 Olympic golf, all from the expert who has given out numerous winners already this year, including Xander Schauffele at the PGA Championship!
