2024 PGA Championship Odds & Picks: Cameron Smith

by |

Golf's biggest stars descend on Louisville, Kentucky, this week for the second major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship, which will be played at Valhalla Golf Club.

This will be the fourth PGA Championship to be played at Valhalla, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that opened in 1986. Mark Brooks won the first PGA at Valhalla in 1996. Tiger Woods outlasted Bob May in a memorable Valhalla duel to win the 2000 PGA Championship. And Rory McIlroy won the PGA here in 2014, edging Phil Mickelson by a stroke.

Brooks Koepka is the defending PGA Championship winner. He won by two strokes over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler last year at Oak Hill. But Scheffler is the headliner this week. The No. 1 player in the world has been on fire this year, winning four of his last five events. Last month, Scheffler won the first major of 2024, The Masters, earning his second Green Jacket.

Cameron Smith Recent Form

Smith is coming off of arguably his best performance of the year, bagging a second-place finish at the LIV Golf Singapore event last weekend. This was his second second-place finish on the LIV Tour in 2024, where he also earned silver in Hong Kong back in March. The Australian has been competitive lately, placing 14th in the LIV Adelaide event in late April and also finishing sixth at The Masters.

Cameron Smith 2024 PGA Championship Betting Outlook

I won't be playing Smith in the outright winners market, but I think this is a great opportunity to lock him in for a top-10 spot. Smith loves the big stage, which is apparent by the fact that he has finished inside the top-10 in five of his last nine major championships. He's in excellent form, and he's also the best putter (1.51 putts per hole) on the LIV circuit. I want to have a stake in Smith, and I'll do it by wagering that he finishes inside the top 10.
