This week, the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall continues in Ivins, Utah, at the 2024 Black Desert Championship at Black Desert Resort. The rank-and-file field set to take on this Tom Weiskopf design includes Keith Mitchell, Seamus Power, Beau Hossler, Lucas Glover, Harris English, and Daniel Berger. Mitchell, the betting favorite at 16/1 (+1600), led last week’s Sanderson Farms Championship through 54 holes but eventually tied for third. This course is brand new to the Tour, so compiling a betting card will be a bit trickier than normal. We’ll have to focus on recent form and a few other key factors. This week’s winner will head home with $1.35 million of the $7.5 million purse.

**Black Desert Championship Picks to Win**
**Patrick Fishburn (30/1)**

**Analysis:** Fishburn will feel right at home this week because, well, he will be. Fishburn was born in Ogden, Utah, and graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU). Before tying for 48th at the Sanderson Farms last week, Fishburn finished solo third at the Procore Championship to open the fall. He’s 16th in total driving on Tour and is coming off a week where he gained strokes with his tee-to-green game.
**Lucas Glover (40/1)**

**Analysis:** Glover has played some great golf across two FedEx Cup Fall starts. At the Procore Championship, Glover tied for 13th, and at last week’s Sanderson Farms, the 44-year-old grabbed a share of third. Since there’s no course history to rely on, I’m focusing on tee-to-green performance. Last week at The Country Club of Jackson, Glover was eighth in the field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.
**Michael Thorbjornsen (40/1)**
[Michael Thorbjornsen of Wellesley, Mass., watches his ball shoot down the 1st fairway during the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss.](image-link)
**Analysis:** As a New Englander, it feels right to put Thorbjornsen on the card — he’s from Wellesley, Massachusetts. Thorbjornsen is coming off a T-8 performance at the Sanderson Farms where he ranked 33rd in SG: Tee-to-Green. Black Desert Resort features bentgrass greens, and Thorbjornsen should love that as many New England courses feature the very same.
