2024 Predictions: Picking a Winner for Every PGA Tour Event This Year

My editor asked me to make my picks for the 2024 PGA Tour season. At first I thought I was being punished for something I did wrong, but I was assured it was supposed to be more of a fun exercise.
So, with an attitude of fun and merriment, I give you my picks for 2024.
Laughter is required.
The Sentry: Tony Finau
Jon Rahm would have been my pick, but the stiff-upper-lip crowd in Ponte Vedra won’t give him a start because he went to LIV.
Sony Open in Hawaii: Lucas Glover
The American Express: Sam Burns
Farmers Insurance Open: Ludvig Aberg
The Swede is now the class of any field he enters. It seems Torrey Pines may be a perfect ballpark for him.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Jordan Spieth
WM Phoenix Open: Rickie Fowler
It seems Fowler at 35 likes retirement community golf, which Phoenix is full of.
The Genesis Invitational: Scottie Scheffler
Mexico Open at Vidanta: Kurt Kitayama
Cognizant Classic: Shane Lowry
Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard: Tyrrell Hatton
Puerto Rico Open: Gary Woodland
Laugh if you want, but once he gets back he will play like his life depended on it. It’s odd how your perspective changes when you lose something.
The Players Championship: Viktor Hovland
Valspar Championship: Erik van Rooyen
Texas Children's Houston Open: Chris Kirk
Valero Texas Open: Sepp Straka
Masters Tournament: Brooks Koepka
Is it déjà vu? No, it’s payback.
RBC Heritage: Matt Fitzpatrick
He loves Hilton Head, so a repeat is in the cards.
Corales Puntacana Championship: Davis Thompson
Zurich Classic of New Orleans: Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick
AT&T Byron Nelson: Austin Eckroat
Wells Fargo Championship: Rory McIlroy
Myrtle Beach Classic: David Lipsky
PGA Championship: Bryson DeChambeau
I believe that he will have a monster 2024, so why not take Valhalla to its knees?
Charles Schwab Challenge: Kevin Streelman
RBC Canadian Open: Corey Conners
The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday: Tommy Fleetwood
U.S. Open: Jordan Spieth
It’s been a while since Spieth has ticked off a major, so why not at a place where length isn’t as big of a thing and short game/putting excellence is necessary.
Travelers Championship: Hideki Matsuyama
Rocket Mortgage Classic: Collin Morikawa
Revenge on his mind.
John Deere Classic: Zach Johnson
Genesis Scottish Open: Rory McIlroy
British Open: Max Homa
Came into his own in 2023, a major seems within his grasp in 2024.
Barracuda Championship: Chesson Hadley
3M Open: Tony Finau
Men's Olympic Golf Tournament: Ludvig Aberg
His game would seem tailor-made for a ball-striking course like the Albatross course at Le Golf National.
Wyndham Championship: Billy Horschel
FedEx St. Jude Championship: Patrick Cantlay
BMW Championship: Rory McIlroy
Tour Championship: Xander Schauffele
Has top 10s in all seven appearances including a win in 2017 and three runner-ups.
