Can Scottie Scheffler win The Players Championship 2024? Odds explored

Scottie Scheffler is set to defend his title at The Players Championship 2024. The 27-year-old is the outright favorite to win the PGA Tour event, often referred to as the ‘fifth Major.’ According to SportsLine, the World No. 1 comes into TPC Sawgrass with a +500 odds.

Scheffler is one of the 144 players competing in The Players Championship 2024. Unsurprisingly, he is the top-ranked player at the event and is also the favorite. He is closely followed by World No. 2 Rory McIlroy on the odds list. The Northern Irishman comes into the Florida event with 12-1 odds. Xander Schauffele (20-1), Justin Thomas (20-1) and Viktor Hovland (22-1) are other close competitors.

Scheffler will tee off Round 1 of The Players Championship 2024 on Thursday at 1:40 PM. Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler will join him on the first tee.

Scheffler has had a strong start to the new PGA Tour season. The 2022 Masters champion started 2024 with a T5 finish at The Sentry in January, followed by a T17 finish at the American Express. He finished T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, T3 at the Phoenix Open and T10 at the Cognizant Classic.

He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week. He beat Wyndham Clark and Shane Lowry to lift the trophy. Coming off the back of a win, Scheffler will look to continue his good form this weekend in Florida.
