Men’s Olympic Golf Odds, Picks & Best Bets for Paris 2024

  • Men’s golf begins at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday with a loaded field including many of the world’s top golfers.
  • Big names like Scottie Scheffler (USA), Xander Schauffele (USA) and Rory McIlroy (IRE) will be in attendance vying for the gold medal.
  • Keep reading below to find out who we like for this week’s big Olympic men’s golf tournament.

The 2024 Paris Olympics have been incredibly entertaining so far. Basketball, swimming, soccer and other sports have provided plenty of drama, and the track-and-field events haven’t even started yet. Neither has the men’s golf tournament, which tees off on Thursday morning. The world’s top golfers are in attendance, including Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele for Team USA. Can the United States claim gold (and possibly sweep the medal stand)? We’ll find out starting Thursday morning. Coverage can be found on NBC, the USA Network and the Peacock app.

Men’s Olympic Golf Picks

  • Xander Schauffele top-3 finish (+240)
  • Scottie Scheffler top-3 finish (+145)

Xander Schauffele is enjoying a breakthrough season. After years of coming close to winning a major without getting the job done, he’s claimed 2 major titles this season. He won the PGA Championship and The Open Championship, with the latter coming earlier this month.

He’s playing his best golf right now, and with the chance to claim an Olympic medal, he should stay hot. I like the value of betting him to finish on the medal stand at +240 on bet365. If you sign up for bet365 using promo code SBDXLM, you can claim a first-bet safety net worth up to $1,000 or $150 in bonus bets when you place a $5 wager.

Speaking of finishing on the medal stand, Scheffler is also hunting for his first Olympic medallion. Americans are performing quite well in these Olympics thus far, so it wouldn’t be out of the question to see 2 of them finish in the top 3. I like Scheffler at +145 to finish with at least a bronze this week.

Men’s Olympic Golf Longshot Picks

  • Xander Schauffele to win (+650)
  • Matthieu Pavon top-3 finish (+1800)

I’ve already detailed how good Schauffele has been lately. He’s won 2 majors this year and has 5 top-3 finishes. I’m in on him to finish in the top 3 this week, but at +650 odds, it’s also worth putting a smaller bet on him to win.

He’s having a season for the ages, rivaling what Scheffler has been able to do. I think the 2 Americans will push each other (in a good way) this weekend during the tournament, which should lead to great finishes for both guys.

As for another longshot top-3 bet, how about some home cooking for Matthieu Pavon of France? The 31-year-old from Toulouse won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines back in January. That very next week, he finished third at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

He recently missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open and finished tied for 50th place at The Open Championship, but he’ll be very motivated to have a strong performance in front of fans in his home country. The +1800 odds on him to finish in the top 3 over at bet365 are very enticing.
