Ludvig Aberg ended a streak of long-shot winners at the RSM Classic a year ago — and he's back to defend his title as an even shorter favorite in 2024.
He's perhaps the only notable in this week's field, as well, with a handful of the Tour's best expected to make their first start at the Hero World Challenge in December.

Ludvig Aberg's first PGA Tour victory came right here at Sea Island in what was just his 16th career Tour start. He used back-to-back 61s on the weekend to finish four shots clear of the rest of the field and win as a 12/1 favorite.
He's on the board at much shorter odds this time around, anywhere between +900 and +1,100. That makes him the clear No. 1 choice, with only one other golfer shorter than 20/1 as of Wednesday afternoon.
That's Davis Thompson, who sits second on the board between +1,600 and +1,800. Si Woo Kim, Seamus Power, and Brian Harman round out the Top 5, with odds ranging from 25/1 and 33/1.
2022 champ Adam Svensson is in the field and on the board as long as 50/1.
