2024 Barracuda Championship odds, picks, field: Surprising predictions by golf model that's called 13 majors

Keith Mitchell enters the week outside the top 80 in the Official World Golf Ranking, but he finds himself atop the odds board for the 2024 Barracuda Championship, which is the lone modified stableford event of the season. Mitchell is 20-1 in the 2024 Barracuda Championship odds, sitting ahead of Michael Thorbjornsen (22-1) and Erik van Rooyen (22-1). Golfers are awarded points for their score on each hole, with birdies and eagles being critical to success in the modified stableford scoring format. There are 156 golfers in the 2024 Barracuda Championship field at Tahoe Mountain Club in California.

Mitchell played in this event for the first time last year, missing the cut. He also missed the cut in the Scottish Open last week, so should you avoid him with your 2024 Barracuda Championship bets?

Top 2024 Barracuda Championship predictions

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Barracuda Championship 2024: Michael Thorbjornsen (22-1), who has the second-shortest odds in the field, stumbles this week and fails to record a top-three finish. He failed to capitalize on a weak field at the ISCO Championship last week, missing the cut at 1 over. Thorbjornsen has missed the cut in two of his four events this season since making his professional debut last month.

He finished atop the 2024 PGA Tour University Ranking, earning Tour membership status through the end of the 2025 season. However, he has now missed the cut in five of seven tournaments dating back to last season, so it is difficult to justify his position near the top of the odds board this week. The model has Thorbjornsen failing to crack the top three, recommending other golfers with more favorable odds instead. See the model's full leaderboard here .
