He’s followed by Morikawa (+750), Matsuyama (+800) and Sungjae Im (+1400) on the PGA odds board.

Top 2024 Zozo Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 Zozo Championship: Morikawa, the defending champion and one of the top favorites, fails to successfully defend his title in Japan. Morikawa’s last start on the PGA Tour was a runner-up finish at the Tour Championship at East Lake in September. However, the 27-year-old has never successfully defended a title on the PGA Tour and he’s been inconsistent with his iron play in 2024.
In fact, Morikawa enters this week’s event ranked 135th in greens in regulation percentage (65.04%), which doesn’t bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the 2024 Zozo Championship field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: J.J. Spaun, a massive 50-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
In order to score well this week, players will need to be extremely accurate with their approach shots and few do it better than Spaun. The 34-year-old is ranked 17th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.473) and 18th in greens in regulation percentage (70.56%). He’s also trending in the right direction, having finished T-9 or better in two of his last six starts on the PGA Tour. Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2024 Zozo Championship bets. See who else to back here.
