Instead, just look at players that tend to get off to fast starts to hopefully find themselves inside the Top-5 heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wells Fargo Championship Outright Winners: Max Homa +2200 (FanDuel or BetMGM)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/wt.buzz\/nb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Borrman<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard to ignore Homa\u2019s track record here with Quail Hollow the site of his first PGA Tour win in 2019 while also finishing T8 here last year. He added another win in 2022 at this event, but it was a different course (TPC Potomac) as the Wells Fargo swapped venues a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seemingly a quiet start to 2024, Homa made a big splash at Augusta, ultimately finishing T3 at The Masters while he also has two additional Top-20s in Signature Events this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Homa is a guy who tends to play well at the same track every year and is also a guy that can get, and stay, in a groove as evidenced by a run of seven-straight Top-12 finishes last summer which was capped with a win at the Nedbank Golf Challenge on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homa has distance off the tee and is a five-tool caliber player gaining strokes in all five measured categories. He is a particularly good putter where he ranked 6th in SG Putting last season. Hopefully we can ride another hot putter to a win this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wells Fargo Championship Top-20 Finish: Sahith Theegala +275 (Bet365)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala has been performing well in the biggest events this season and the books have certainly taken notice listing him as a Top-10 betting favorite this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is coming off a solo 2nd in his last start at the RBC Heritage which followed a T9 at THE PLAYERS, a T6 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and a solo 5th at the WM Phoenix Open proving he can play well on the biggest stages. He also added another runner-up at The Sentry to open the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala can send it off the tee and can get blistering hot with his putter as he ranks 4th in this field in SG Putting over the last 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His biggest weakness is his short game, but he doesn\u2019t miss a ton of greens, ranking 20th in Tour this season in Greens in Regulation. He also ranks better than most on approaches over 200 yards, coming in at 31st this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that leads to ranking 18th in Bogey Avoidance, crucial around a major championship caliber venue, and helps him come in at 7th in Adjusted Scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala only has one start at Quail Hollow where he did make the cut in last year\u2019s 156-man field, but he is a much different player now than he was a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you next week for the PGA Championship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wells Fargo Championship Betting Preview WagerTalk golf handicapper Nick Borrman offers his thoughts on the Wells Fargo Championship teeing off from Quail Hollow Golf &amp; Country Club in Charlotte, NC.

Instead, just look at players that tend to get off to fast starts to hopefully find themselves inside the Top-5 heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wells Fargo Championship Outright Winners: Max Homa +2200 (FanDuel or BetMGM)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/wt.buzz\/nb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Borrman<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Hard to ignore Homa\u2019s track record here with Quail Hollow the site of his first PGA Tour win in 2019 while also finishing T8 here last year. He added another win in 2022 at this event, but it was a different course (TPC Potomac) as the Wells Fargo swapped venues a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>After seemingly a quiet start to 2024, Homa made a big splash at Augusta, ultimately finishing T3 at The Masters while he also has two additional Top-20s in Signature Events this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>But Homa is a guy who tends to play well at the same track every year and is also a guy that can get, and stay, in a groove as evidenced by a run of seven-straight Top-12 finishes last summer which was capped with a win at the Nedbank Golf Challenge on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Homa has distance off the tee and is a five-tool caliber player gaining strokes in all five measured categories. He is a particularly good putter where he ranked 6th in SG Putting last season. Hopefully we can ride another hot putter to a win this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wells Fargo Championship Top-20 Finish: Sahith Theegala +275 (Bet365)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala has been performing well in the biggest events this season and the books have certainly taken notice listing him as a Top-10 betting favorite this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He is coming off a solo 2nd in his last start at the RBC Heritage which followed a T9 at THE PLAYERS, a T6 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and a solo 5th at the WM Phoenix Open proving he can play well on the biggest stages. He also added another runner-up at The Sentry to open the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala can send it off the tee and can get blistering hot with his putter as he ranks 4th in this field in SG Putting over the last 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His biggest weakness is his short game, but he doesn\u2019t miss a ton of greens, ranking 20th in Tour this season in Greens in Regulation. He also ranks better than most on approaches over 200 yards, coming in at 31st this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>All that leads to ranking 18th in Bogey Avoidance, crucial around a major championship caliber venue, and helps him come in at 7th in Adjusted Scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Theegala only has one start at Quail Hollow where he did make the cut in last year\u2019s 156-man field, but he is a much different player now than he was a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>See you next week for the PGA Championship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27730,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27727\/revisions\/27730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
