We get an earlier start on the PGA Tour this week with a rare Wednesday through Saturday schedule at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open in an effort to dodge the NFL conference championship games on Sunday.
Let's get into my top picks for the week, starting with my 2024 Farmers Insurance Open golf betting predictions and global golf bets.
2024 Farmers Insurance Open Predictions (PGA Tour)
Best Bet: Harris English +5000 (FanDuel)
Harris English has been comfortable during his career at Torrey Pines. He's got a couple top-10 finishes at this event and had his best major finish here when he took third at the 2021 U.S. Open.
After a couple top-20 finishes in Hawaii, his game should be in good shape. This event feels like it should be more of a bomber's course with how long Torrey Pines plays. But with the small greens and deep rough making life difficult on approaches, we tend to see a lot of solid scramblers perform well even though they may not be the longest off the tee. That fits into English's style of play.

Global Golf Predictions
Ras Al Khaimah Championship (DP World Tour)
Best Bet: Haotong Li +6600 (BetRivers)
Haotong Li's game was in the abyss last year, but he's come out in 2024 and appears to be back on track with two top-15 finishes in Dubai to start the year.
Now he heads to a course where he finished third in 2022. He's a proven winner at this level with three victories on the DP World Tour. With the elite players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood heading back to the U.S., there is a void of top-level talent at the top of the board here.
Li appears to be in much better shape with his game, so this could be a prime chance for him to pick up another win.
Other bets:
- Tom McKibbin +4000
- Dan Bradbury +5500
- Callum Shinkwin +9000
- Masahiro Kawamura +10000
- Jesper Svensson +12500
Drive On Championship (LPGA)
Best Bet: Ayaka Furue +4100 (FanDuel)
Ayaka Furue finished the 2023 season with a solid run of form, and she picked up right where she left off to begin 2024 by finishing fourth at the Tournament of Champions.
Now, she heads to a new course for the women at Bradenton Country Club. Without a ton of history here, current form will be as important as ever for me. Furue has that boxed check for the first full-field event of the LPGA schedule.
Other bets:
- Leona Maguire +4500
- Gemma Dryburgh +6600
- Alexa Pano +10000
