2024 Memorial Tournament Picks
Spencer Aguiar: Collin Morikawa +1600 (FanDuel)
You can tune into the Links + Locks Memorial Tournament Betting Preview Podcast on Wednesday to hear Roberto Arguello, Nick Bretwisch and me galavant through the airwaves about why we are betting on Tony Finau again. It feels like it has been a minimum of one of us every episode this season, with me taking the mantle at Jack's property this week (perhaps to be joined by more).
However, let's get away from the Finau conversation for a second and discuss a player whom I rarely wager on in the outright market: Collin Morikawa at 16-1.
Morikawa's fit for the venue is pristine, which placed him third for Projected Upside, eclipsing even recent major champion Xander Schauffele.
My math also ranked him second for Weighted Tee-to-Green Production for Muirfield Village, first at Nicklaus Courses and third for Proximity + Around-the-Green Expectation.
Morikawa also was one of only three players to crack the top 10 for all seven main categories that I weighed at Muirfield. That joined Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at the top.

Matt Gannon: Max Homa +5500 (FanDuel)
This number is too long for a player of Max Homa’s caliber. Homa played horrifically at Colonial but had a full week off to dial his game back in. We just saw Bobby Mac win in his next start at the RBC Canadian Open after a missed cut at Colonial, so it can be done.
Homa finished among the top six in both of his last two trips to Jack’s place. It is a course that requires long and accurate driving paired with elite long-iron play. When Homa is cooking, that is what he excels at.
This is a generous number because his form is not great following his first missed cut since February. However, if he entered after a strong result at Colonial, he would be around +2500 here. Buy the dip because Homa is a winner.
Greg Waddell: Viktor Hovland +1900 (bet365)
Viktor Hovland is coming off of the best performance of his season at the PGA Championship when he finished third. Hovland is the reigning champion at the Memorial Tournament but is also double the price of Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele this week.
Muirfield Village is one of the toughest challenges on the entire PGA Tour, and it reasons to believe that one of the superstar favorites will emerge with a victory. Hovland is by far the best value from that group and is worth backing given his recent form mixed with success in recent years in this tournament.
Tony Sartori: Scottie Scheffler +390 (bet365)
With three golfers south of 9-1 in the Memorial Tournament Odds, the value at the top rides with the clear-cut best golfer of the group: Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler has finished either first or second in six of his past seven tournaments as we are witnessing the most impressive golfing season since prime Tiger Woods.
The most ridiculous part of this stretch is that there is not a single flawed club in Scottie’s bag right now, including his putter. Over those aforementioned seven tournaments, Scheffler has gained strokes Putting, Around the Green, on Approach and Off the Tee.
This success is likely to continue at Muirfield Village, a venue at which Scottie finished third last year despite losing nearly eight strokes for the tournament on the greens. His putting is miles ahead of where it was at that point, and it was the only reason he didn’t win the Memorial last season.
Now that it’s relatively figured out, I expect the class of the field to secure his fifth victory in an eight-tournament stretch.
