Shriners Children’s Open 2024 preview: Field, betting odds, tee times and how to watch

The FedExCup Fall continues at the Shriners Children's Open.

The FedExCup Fall heads to Las Vegas, Nevada for the Shriners Children’s Open. Here’s everything you need to know.

Founded in 1983, the Shriners Children’s Open has an enviable roll-call of former champions including Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Jim Furyk, Patrick Cantlay, and Bryson DeChambeau.

The tournament is the fourth stop on the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Fall roster where players who finished outside the top 50 in the FedExCup Playoffs look to secure their tour status for 2025.

Tom Kim is a back-to-back winner in the desert, claiming a one-shot victory over Adam Hadwin in 2023. His triumph a year earlier had made Kim the second youngest player to win twice on the PGA Tour, and the first player since Tiger Woods to win twice before turning 21.

Shriners Children’s, an international pediatric healthcare system, is the long-standing sponsor and benefactor of the tournament.

Where is the Shriners Children’s Open played?

Widely recognized as one of the best courses in the USA, TPC Summerlin hosts the Shiners Children’s Open. The Las Vegas course was the track on which Tiger Woods registered his first professional victory in 1996.

Course architect Bobby Weed designed the par 72, 7,243-yard layout, taking great care to preserve and protect the natural wildlife habitats of the rocky desert environment.

What is the format of the Shriners Children’s Open?

The format of the Shriners Children’s Open is a standard strokeplay event played over 72 holes with a cut after 36 holes (two rounds). The player with the lowest score over four rounds will win the tournament.

Who is in the field for the Shriners Children’s Open?

Tom Kim lines up again as he targets a third consecutive win at the Shriners Children’s Open. The field features a host of players who have already secured their tour cards by finishing in the top 50 of the FedExCup Playoffs including Eric Cole, Cam Davis, Austin Eckroat, Adam Hadwin, Tom Hoge, Taylor Pendrith, J.T Poston, Davis Thompson, and Stephan Jaeger.

As per regular season events, the winner will also receive a two-year PGA Tour exemption, 500 FedExCup points, and spots in The Players, The Sentry, and those major championships that invite PGA Tour winners.
