2024 Shriners Children’s Open Betting
The Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas takes place in early October, part of the 2024 FedExCup Fall schedule. While most of the world’s top players choose to take a few months off, there are always a few who decide to sprinkle in a few tournaments before the end of the calendar year. The 2024 event takes place from October 17 through October 20 with Tom Kim the two-time defending champion. With FedExCup points being so valuable, there is a good chance more of the world’s top players will be entered in the field. It would not be surprising to see at least a few of the world’s top 20 golfers entered in this year’s tournament with 500 FedExCup points available and a prize purse of $7 million dollars.
Catch all of the action at the Shriners Children’s Open from Thursday, October 17 through Sunday, October 20.
