Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy makes his seasonal debut on the PGA Tour when he tees off at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am beginning on Thursday at historic Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Calif. The world No. 2 started his year on the DP World Tour, finishing second in the Dubai Invitational and then winning the following week’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic. McIlroy is playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the first time since 2018 when he missed the cut.
McIlroy is the 15-2 favorite according to the latest 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, followed by Scottie Scheffler (17-2), Viktor Hovland (12-1) and Xander Schauffele (12-1). Defending champion Justin Rose is a 90-1 longshot on the PGA odds board. Before locking in any 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 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 on fire with his head-to-head matchups since last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge, going 28-15-1 and returning 10.41 units over that span. That’s a $1,041 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 focused his attention on the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am field and has locked in his best bets, top sleepers, and favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.
Top 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am expert picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Scheffler, even though he is the No. 1 player in the world. Scheffler is coming off a historic season in the strokes gained metrics. He led the PGA Tour in strokes gained: total, off-the-tee, approach and around-the-green in 2022-23.
However, Scheffler famously struggled with the putter, ranking 162 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: putting. So far this season, he hasn’t shown much improvement, ranking 143rd. “I don’t think this is a course that maximizes all of Scheffler’s strengths, and he continues to be shaky with the putter,” Nejad told SportsLine.
However, Nejad is high on the chances of Justin Thomas, who is listed at +2500. The two-time major champion wasn’t originally exempt for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am field, but his tie for third at The American Express two weeks ago safely moved him into the top 30 in the world and earned him a spot at Pebble Beach. With his berth secured, he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open last week.
Nejad likes Thomas’ form entering Pebble Beach. He is on a run of four consecutive top-five finishes worldwide. “Thomas continued to gain strokes in a big way on approach, around the green and putting at The American Express, and I think the outright odds have not caught up to his outright potential,” Nejad said.
