2024 PGA Championship prop picks

Corey Conners Top 40 (+115)

I've been going back to Corey Conners time and time again recently and this is once again a spot where he deserves to be on the card.

He's got four Top 20s among six Top 30s in his last nine starts (T13 at Quail Hollow last time out) going back to the Genesis Invitational — form that pairs nicely with recent success here at the PGA. The Canadian finished T12 here a season ago after sharing the 36-hole lead. He was also two shots up after Round 1 in 2021, ultimately finishing T17. 

Diving back into his recent form, Conners is fifth in this field in true strokes gained approach and 15th from tee to green over his last 49 measured rounds. Those numbers suggest another strong showing is coming. 

Pick: Corey Conners Top 40 (+115 at bet365)

Brooks Koepka first-round leader (+2,500)

It's that time of year, the time when Brooks Koepka gets to flex his major championship muscles. The five-time major champion has seen the most success here at the PGA, with three victories and three other Top-5 finishes dating back to 2015. 

He's entering this year's edition just two weeks removed from a win at LIV Golf Singapore in his last start. He pulled away from the field with a 64 in Round 2 but sat just one shot back after an opening-round 66.  

On top of cashing this bet with a Thursday 63 at the 2019 PGA Championship, Brooks was just two shots back after Round 1 in 2021 (T2), one shot back in 2020 (T29), and one shot back in 2017 (T13). He also had a share of the opening-round lead at last year's Masters (T2).

Koepka will need to start fast if he wants to defend his title and he's in just the form needed to do so.

Pick: Brooks Koepka first-round leader (+2,500 at bet365)
