Top Golf Pick: Harry Hall to Win Outright (+4500) at Bovada (visit our Bovada Review)
This week’s PGA Tour event for your BMR best bets is the Shriners Children’s Open, an event founded over forty years ago with the exciting young South Korean Tom Kim going for a hat-trick of titles in successive seasons. Before you place your bets, let’s break down the latest odds from the top sportsbooks.
Shriners Children’s Open 2024
October 17 – 20, 2024 at TPC Summerlin – Las Vegas, Nevada
Course Notes
- TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas
- Par 71, 7255 yards
- The closing stretch of holes (15 to 18) can be an exciting test of nerve with many risk reward decisions forced on the golfer.
- The Bentgrass greens are some of the purest surfaces on the PGA Tour and a poor week with the flatstick will see the golfer lose ground on the field very quickly.
- With no weather issues as usual in the Nevada desert, approach play from the Bermuda grass fairways will be key, and expect a winning score better than 20-under par.

Will Harry Hall Win at Home?
Harry Hall loves TPC Summerlin, why would he not? It’s his home course and he has already wielded that home advantage impressively in the past three seasons.
This time around Hall arrives back at TPC Summerlin in the form of his life and well established on the PGA Tour after a maiden win at the ISCO Championship a couple of months ago.
Ranked just outside the top 100 in the world, the twenty-seven-year-old Englishman, will be eyeing a second win after an 18th place back on the DP World Tour in their flagship BMW PGA Championship.
Last week he teed it up in Utah and added another solid week, finishing 35th with a poor final round undermining three good opening rounds.
The last three years have seen Hall getting a start on sponsors' invitations into the Shriners and he has made them pay with an 8th in 2021, followed by 15th and 26th respectively.
Hall attended the University of Las Vegas from 2015 to 2019 and is sponsored by MGM Resorts, so he has already proved that he has the mentality to deliver on home turf when not the accomplished player he is now.
To encourage us further there has been a recent precedent of a Las Vegas resident winning their home tournament with Kevin Na a two-time winner.
At BMR, the case for wagering Harry Hall is strong, and we suggest an outright win with Bovada.

Look for Scott to Pierce the Props Markets
Another golfer who has a longstanding affinity with Las Vegas is veteran journeyman pro, Scott Piercy who was born and raised in the gambling mecca.
After turning professional Piercy played the mini tours across the state and in 2007, Piercy won the Ultimate Game at Wynn Las Vegas for a bumper $2 million payday.
In a stellar career grinding on the PGA Tour for fifteen years, the forty-five-year-old has won on four occasions but his last win in a singles event was as far back as 2015.
The years in the interim have seen him squander several good chances after many fast starts on day 1, something he is known for. As the years progress Piercy’s nerve in contention appears to have weakened slightly particularly when squandering a five shot lead deep into the final round of the 2022 3M Open.
Nevertheless, Scott Piercy still has the potential to be a profitable play this week in the props markets.
Notoriously a fast starter, at BMR, we suggest you take Scott Piercy in the first-round leader and top 20 markets with our best sportsbook, BetOnline who have an extensive range of props.
