GOLF EXPERT BETS

The Golf Free Picks head to the CJ Cup Byron Nelson tournament from TPC Craig Ranch in Dallas, Texas on May 2, 2024 and our golf experts are focusing on the below individuals for the event.

  • Stephan Jaeger
  • Alex Noren
  • Si Woo Kim
Stephan Jaeger Tournament Winner (-110)

Jaeger has been one of the best players early in the season, thanks in large part to his added length off the tee. In addition to his win at the Valero (where he was the only player to beat Scottie Scheffler in his last 5 events), he has 2 other top-3 finishes in his 11 starts. In his 2 prior appearances at TPC Craig Ranch, he made the cut in both of them and finished 11th last year. Min Woo Lee, on the other hand, has seen a dramatic dip in his play lately. Since a T2 at the Cognizant Classic, he has gone T44, T54, MC, and T22. In his tournament debut last year, he missed the cut and lost 6 strokes on approach in 2 rounds. In a H2H matchup, give me the consistency of Jaeger.

Alex Noren Top 20 Finish (+140)

Noren is 2nd in my model for the week behind only Adam Scott. He's a popular outright bet this week and the model certainly agrees with the pick, but I have too many Sunday scars from betting on him over the years. It's like Tommy Fleetwood all over again. Instead of the outright, I'll settle for a top 20 from Noren at +140. He's finished in the top 20 in 4 of his last 5 starts on the PGA TOUR and has finished T21 and T12 in his 2 starts at this event. He's an excellent scrambler and tends to play his best in the wind, which really sets up well for him given this week's forecast.

Si Woo Kim Tournament Winner (+1800)

Si Woo has yet to miss a cut this season and only missed 1 cut since last July. He only has one top 10 this year, but that's because he has gone ice-cold on the greens. His ball striking and around-the-green game have been elite. He has gained at least 5.7 strokes tee to green in 6 of his last 8 starts. He has a good track record in windy conditions, which should come in handy this week at TPC Craig Ranch. He's played this event each of the last 3 years and finished in a tie for 2nd here last year.

FREE GOLF WINNER PICKS

Tournament winner markets are the most commonly wagered in golf betting, simply selecting a golfer to win the event for very good value. Because the value is so high, many bettors will wager on anywhere from one to five golfers in a single event. VegasInsider provides golf Free Picks for each event, picking winners for golfers that are favored, given mid-range odds or long shots to consider.

FREE GOLF MATCHUP PICKS

Keen on one particular golfer outperforming another? Perhaps you’re on the Brooks Koepka team and want to bet against his nemesis Bryson DeChambeau? Regardless, VegasInsider provides the best matchup selections for golf Free Picks. Instead of picking a tournament winner, bettors will select one specific golfer to finish in a higher position than another specific golfer. This is known as matchup betting, and our experts provide top analysis on matchups for 72 holes of play, or just one round. 

FREE GOLF PROP PICKS

From group bets to nationality winners, even winning stroke margins, there are ample golf prop bets to select from. Our VegasInsider golf experts go through the various prior markets for each event, to find you the best value in exotic wagers.
