Don’t Fall For Rory McIlroy’s +800 Cognizant Classic Odds

  • Cognizant Classic betting odds heavily favor Rory McIlroy with +800 odds.
  • Last year’s runner up Eric Cole has +2200 odds to win the 2024 Cognizant Classic.
  • Mexico Open winner Jake Knapp has +5500 odds to win back-to-back events.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Betting for the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing starts Thursday in Palm Beach Gardens with the Cognizant Classic, formerly known as the Honda Classic, at PGA National. Rory McIlroy is way overpriced at USA online sportsbooks with +800 odds, while Cameron Young and Eric Cole share +2200 odds as the second-shortest options.

2024 Cognizant Classic Betting Odds

  • Rory McIlroy +800
  • Cameron Young +2200
  • Eric Cole +2200
  • Byeong Hun An +2500
  • Russell Henley +2500
  • Tom Kim +2500
  • J.T. Poston +2800

  • Shane Lowry +3000
  • Adam Svensson +3500

  • Luke List +4500
  • Sepp Straka +4500
  • Christiaan Bezuidenhout +5000
  • Matthieu Pavon +5000
  • Jake Knapp +5500

Outside of No. 2 ranked McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick is the only other player inside the top 15 of the Official World Golf Rankings participating in the Cognizant Classic. However, even Fitzpatrick’s +2800 odds at online golf sportsbooks are too short for a guy who’s finished with a missed cut, T58, T15, missed cut in his last four events.

Place Your Bets On Cole, Kirk, Knapp Top 20

Although Chris Kirk came out on top of the playoff against Eric Cole in 2023, both players proved they’re undervalued for the 2024 Cognizant Classic. They’re both solid options outright, but betting on top 20 finishes at Florida online sportsbooks has incredible value.
