Weekend Stories to Watch
The week following the Masters is usually a letdown for golf fans. This year, however, the stars aligned and gave us a number of great stories to follow this weekend. Three different tours and 4 separate events attract our attention. Here’s a little rundown on what you should be watching today and tomorrow in the world of professional golf.
PGA Tour
In their effort respond to LIV, this season the PGA Tour created Signature Events. They upgraded the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island to a small field, no cut event with a total of $20 million up for grabs. As a result this 69 player field has 28 of the top 30 ranked PGA Tour golfers competing on the par 71, 7100 yard course with some of the tightest fairways and by far the smallest greens they will see this season. Going into the weekend four were tied atop a crowded leaderboard at 11 under. 2 time major winner Colin Morikawa, Tom Hoge, Sepp Straka and J.T. Poston lead the way with Masters Champion Scottie Schefller, Masters runner-up Ludwig Aberg and Patrick Cantlay among those within two shots of the lead. This event should have fireworks Saturday and Sunday.
As a result of the RBC Heritage being a limited field event, the PGA Tour is also conducting the Corales Puntacana Championship in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic While there are less Fed Ex Cup points available to this field, the winner receives winner’s status on the PGA Tour for the remainder of this season and for the next two years. As is often the case when there are alternate field events, this may prove to be life changing for the winner.
15 Year Old Makes the Cut on the Korn Ferry Tour
Playing in his first professional event, number one AJGA ranked Miles Russell became the youngest player to ever make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour. Last season Miles was named the AJGA Boys Junior Player of the Year at a younger age than even Tiger Woods. He is both the reigning Junior PGA Champion and the Juniors Players Champion. 
With rounds of 68-66 his two round total 134 finds him T-26 entering the weekend. His Friday round included going 4 under on the front nine, with 7 pars and 2 eagles. One of the eagles was on a par 4. By making the cut, should Miles attempt to Monday Qualify in future events this KFT season, he will not need to go through the pre-qualifying process.
Nelly Korda Goes for FIVE in a Row at the LPGA’s First Major
The Chevron Championship, the first LPGA Major of the season, is Nelly Korda’s shot at winning five consecutive events. Heading into the weekend, Korda was at 7 under, one stroke off the lead. A win by Korda will make her only the third woman to win 5 consecutive LPGA tournaments. Also of note at the Chevron is that Augusta Women’s Amateur Champion Lottie Wood enters the weekend 4 strokes off the lead. Wood, the FSU sophomore is playing in her first LPGA event (having chosen to compete in the Chevron rather than this week’s SEC Championship).

Hello, everyone! Kelly Hodgeson here, your go-to for all things golf betting. As we gear up for an electrifying week at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open from October 17-20, I’m here to guide you through the field and share some inside tips on where to place your bets.
Let’s talk about Will Gordon. Despite the odds sitting at +30000, there’s a potential goldmine if he pulls through with a win. A modest $10 bet could turn into $3,010! And if you’re looking for something a bit safer, his top 10 finish at +1800 could return $190 on that same $10. It’s all about finding those hidden gems.
Now, onto the stars of the show—Tom Kim is back, aiming for a spectacular three-peat with odds of 12-1. His performance at the Presidents Cup has everyone buzzing, and rightfully so. Other big names to watch include Davis Thompson and Taylor Pendrith, both with solid 25-1 odds. These players have shown they can handle the pressure, making this tournament anyone’s game.
At Spreads, we made sure even the casual bettor felt like a VIP, and that’s exactly what I’m bringing to Clickit Golf. Whether you’re betting big or just here for the thrill, I’m here to make sure you’re getting the VIP treatment.
Remember, golf is unpredictable, but that’s where the fun lies. Whether you’re here to place a bet or simply enjoy the game, the Shriners Children’s Open is set to be a fantastic display of talent and nerve. So, grab your scorecards and let’s make this tournament one for the books!
Don’t forget the incredible work that Shriners Children’s Hospital does for their patients. Maybe use some of that bankroll to make a bet on them, it’s a sure winner.
As the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson heads into its final day, golf fans are eagerly anticipating an electrifying finish. The tournament has already delivered high-stakes competition and plenty of nail-biting moments, with the field of contenders showcasing both resilience and finesse throughout the week.
After three rounds of spectacular golf, Keith Mitchell enters the final day leading the pack at 20-under par, with Beau Hossler right on his heels at 19-under. Mitchell, whose only PGA Tour win came more than five years ago at the Honda Classic, faces a critical moment on Sunday as he aims for his second title. He was flawless on Saturday, carding a bogey-free 7-under 65 to climb to the top, but he knows Sunday will be a true test of nerves and skill.
“Tomorrow is a completely new day,” Mitchell stated after his round. “Last group. Been there before and failed a bunch on Sundays in the last group. I’m hoping I can learn from those mistakes.” Whether Mitchell can hold his composure and deliver a steady final round remains to be seen, but fans are excited to see if he can secure the victory.
Beau Hossler, searching for his first PGA Tour victory, will be applying pressure throughout the day, keeping Mitchell in his sights. Hossler’s performance so far has been marked by a series of strong rounds, but a crucial double bogey on the par-4 12th hole on Saturday set him back. Despite the setback, Hossler remains just one shot behind Mitchell at 19-under par. His determination and strong play make it evident that a breakthrough win may not be far off for the 29-year-old.
The final round also promises notable performances from several other players, adding to the intensity of the event. Kevin Yu is currently in third place at 18-under, after an impressive birdie streak on the back nine during Saturday’s round. Meanwhile, Bud Cauley, Lucas Glover, and Jacob Bridgeman are all tied for fourth at 16-under. Each of these players has shown tremendous fight, and the final round could see anyone emerge as a challenger.
Hayden Springer, who began the tournament as somewhat of an underdog, has turned heads with his exceptional play throughout the week. The TCU alum is tied for sixth, marking one of his best performances on the PGA Tour. Springer’s rise up the leaderboard exemplifies the competitive depth of this year’s field.
One of the highlights of the championship so far has been David Skinns’s course-record 60 during the first round. Though Skinns has struggled to maintain his initial momentum, currently tied for 44th, his performance on Thursday will be remembered as one of the standout moments of the tournament.
As Sunday approaches, Keith Mitchell will need to display the confidence and determination required to close out a win against a talented field. He will need to play calculated golf, understanding when to take risks and when to be conservative. The final round is set to be a thrilling showdown, with Mitchell, Hossler, and the rest of the contenders all striving to make their mark.
Whether Mitchell can capture the Sanderson Farms Championship trophy or if one of the chasing pack will rise to the occasion is still uncertain. For fans, the anticipation is building, and all eyes are on the Country Club of Jackson as the final chapter of this year’s tournament unfolds. The 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship has already provided an exhilarating showcase of high-caliber golf, and the final day promises even more drama and excitement.
Stay tuned as we await the final results and see who will emerge victorious in this thrilling battle for the Sanderson Farms Championship title.
