RBC Canadian Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 7, 2022

We are a week away from the U.S. Open. So to get themselves one final tuneup before the third major of the season, a large number of top golfers are meeting in Canada for the RBC Canadian Open – the first playing of this event since 2019.

The event in 2020 and 2021 was wiped out because of COVID-19.

Five of the world’s top nine players are in the field, as are both winners of the two majors already held this year – Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.

Favorites to Win RBC Canadian Open

Scottie Scheffler (+800)
Justin Thomas (+900)
Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Cameron Smith (+1200)
Sam Burns (+1600)
Corey Conners (+2000)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2000)
Shane Lowry (+2000)
Tony Finau (+2500)
Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)

Scottie Scheffler is having a 2022 for the ages, winning four of his last ten starts and only losing his last time out in an extra-hole playoff. He is the best golfer in the world, and even with short odds limiting a winning payout on Scheffler, he’s still worth it.

Justin Thomas is the PGA Champion who missed the cut his next time out. We’ll forgive that misstep, coming in the post-win glow on his major championship.

He is going to be in the mix this weekend at RBC Canadian Open because this course is made for a golfer like Thomas. He makes all the shots necessary to win here.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champion at this event, but as mentioned, that came three years ago and on an entirely different course. So his defending champion status is just in name only and doesn’t really carry an extra weight when handicapping the field. Him being Rory McIlroy, however, does carry weight.

At +1600, it’s a good idea to give Sam Burns an extra look. In the aforementioned Scottie Scheffler loss in a playoff, it was to Sam Burns.

Burns is currently ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings. Along with his win at Colonial, Burns was top-20 at the PGA, top-10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a winner at the Valspar.

Betting a Canadian

It’s worth noting that a Canadian hasn’t won the RBC Canadian Open since 1954. Still, there are some Canadians who are worth a look if you want to bet on a longer shot.

Aaron Cockerill is having a great season on the DP World Tour, and even though this week’s tournament is his PGA Tour debut, he has the game to be in the mix on Sunday. He’s paying +20000 to take the W at the RBC Canadian Open.

Looking for someone a little more likely to be there at the end, Canadian Mackenzie Hughes is also worth a look. He’s twice finished in the top-15 and was in the hunt early at last week’s tournament. Hughes is paying +5000.

The Memorial Tournament 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 31, 2022

Before we get into The Memorial Tournament 2022 betting preview, let’s take a look at what happened the previous week.

Another week and another tournament that needed more than 72 holes before we could name a champion. Scottie Scheffler battled his way down the stretch to force the playoff at Colonial, only to lose to Sam Burns on the first extra hole.

That exciting finish followed the exciting end to the PGA Championship, and it all sets us up for Jack Nicklaus’s tournament at The Memorial this weekend.

It’s not quite the field we had at the PGA, nor what we’ll see at the U.S. Open in a couple of weeks. But this is one of the bigger non-majors of the season, and many of the best golfers are in Ohio at Muirfield Village to tee it up.

Favorites to Win The Memorial

Jon Rahm (+1000)
Rory McIlroy (+1100)
Patrick Cantlay (+1600)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Collin Morikawa (+2000)
Jordan Spieth (+2000)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2500)
Shane Lowry (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+2500)

Flashback to a year ago, and Jon Rahm is almost a certain winner as he mowed through the field through three rounds. Then he tested positive for COVID-19, and by rule, he was forced to withdraw. Patrick Cantlay went on to win at -13, while Rahm had to watch on television sporting his -18 through 54 holes.

Do you think Rahm is ready to get back after this course? You bet he is, and this is why he is one of the top bets to win The Memorial.

Rory McIlroy has yet to put together four great rounds in a row, but the flashes of the old Rory that we’ve seen over the last few weeks makes it seem like that complete tournament win is just around the corner. He has a pair of top-10s at The Memorial, but he has played better here than his final results would indicate.

In his last three tournaments, McIlroy was eighth at the PGA, fifth at the Wells Fargo Championship, and second at the Masters.

As mentioned above, Patrick Cantlay is the defending The Memorial Tournament champion here, even if his 2021 tournament win was tainted because of the forced withdrawal of Rahm. But he also won here in 2019, and he shot a -19 that year. There is no asterisk next to that victory.

Yes, he was atrocious at the PGA Championship, missing the cut at +11. But in his two tournaments before that, he was the winner in New Orleans and the runner-up at the RBC Heritage.

Charles Schwab Challenge Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 24, 2022

As some of the golf world collects its breath after a thrilling end to the PGA Championship last weekend, an invitation-only field will play Colonial this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Last week Jordan Spieth referred to the Charles Schwab Challenge course at Southern Hills as, “Colonial, just a little bit on steroids.” So presumably, this will be a more relaxed weekend. It’s also a weekend of golf that most of the Tour is familiar with, as this is the 75th tournament at Colonial – the longest-running PGA Tour event held at the same course.

Favorites to Win Charles Schwab Challenge

Justin Thomas (+1100)
Jordan Spieth (+1200)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Will Zalatoris (+2000)
Viktor Hovland (+2200)
Max Homa (+2800)
Sam Burns (+2800)
Abraham Ancer (+3300)
Daniel Berger (+3300)
Sungjae Im (+3300)
Tony Finau (+3300)
Webb Simpson (+3300)

Apart from shooting a 58, there isn’t much Justin Thomas could do this weekend to top the weekend he just had. But if anyone can get back up and focused for a tournament as the newly minted PGA Champion, it’s a golfer like Thomas. He is the Charles Schwab Challenge favorite, and rightfully so.

Almost no one in the field knows this course better than Jordan Spieth, and no one who knows it well plays it better than him. He won Charles Schwab Challenge in 2016, and he’s been the runner-up at Colonial three other times. He’s also motivated after a disappointing weekend at Southern Hills.

It was unfortunate timing for Scottie Scheffler to show his mortality, but even after missing the cut last week, he is still the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world and a good bet to win every time he tees it up.

And yes, every tournament, we say, “Will Zalatoris is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend,” and my how close we came to being right last weekend. He was just a playoff away from winning the PGA, and he is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend. Really.

Best Value Bets

None of the above favorites will result in a big return for your risk, but Tommy Fleetwood would, at +4000. He’s never played Charles Schwab Challenge before, but he’s coming off a T5 at the PGA, and he was the co-leader on Sunday with a 67.

Mito Pereira is also paying +4000, and all eyes will be on him this week to see how he responds to losing the PGA Championship. His 72nd hole at the PGA wasn’t quite a Jean van de Velde-level meltdown, but losing a major tournament that you were poised to win can leave a mark.

Or, you can turn it into a positive. We shall see with Pereira.

Pay Per Head Software

Every weekend there is golf and NASCAR, the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs roll on, and the Major League Baseball season is now a quarter of the way over. So many sports to bet; independent bookmakers absolutely need a top pay per head software provider to help them stay on top of it all.

PGA Championship 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 17, 2022

Typically the winner of the PGA Championship isn’t a surprise. It’s generally someone playing very good golf leading into the tournament and someone who is highly ranked headed into the tournament. These are two of the reasons that what Phil Mickelson did at Kiawah Island in 2021 was so surprising. The +25000 longshot was T69 the week before his big triumph.

Even Collin Morikawa, who was only playing in his second-ever Major when he won in 2020, had a win at the Workday Charity Open just three weeks earlier.

This isn’t to say we should only focus on the favorites. Mickelson’s can happen. But the odds are good that Sunday’s eventual PGA Championship winner will be someone playing his best golf.

Favorites to win PGA Championship

Jon Rahm (+1200)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Justin Thomas (+1400)
Rory McIlroy (+1400)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+1800)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
Dustin Johnson (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+2500)
Xander Schauffele (+2500)

If you’re looking to wager on someone playing his top golf, Scottie Scheffler is as good a bet as there is in the field. He’s playing his best golf and the best golf of anyone on the planet. The Masters champion finished T8 at the PGA last year and a career-best T4 in 2020.

Jon Rahm recently lost his No. 1 ranking to Scheffler, but the reigning U.S. Open champion has yet to drop behind Scheffler on the odds board. His best-ever finish at the PGA was a T4 in 2018. He was T8 last year.

Among this top group, we also have former PGA Championship winners Justin Thomas (2017) and Rory McIlroy (2012 and 2014). As the defending PGA Championship champion last year, Morikawa finished T8.

Best Value Picks

Remove his Masters performances the last two years, and it’s easy to think of Brooks Koepka as one of the PGA Championship favorites here. He’s paying +4200 as a two-time PGA winner (2018 and 2019), and the two-time U.S. Open winner (2017 and 2018) was great at all of the Majors a year ago except for Augusta. He was T2 at the PGA, T4 at the U.S. Open and T6 at The Open Championship.

Corey Conners is also worth a look at +4500. His lone Tour win came at the Valero Texas Open in 2019, so he’s probably well off your radar. But last year, he finished T8 at the Masters, T17 at the PGA, and T15 at the Open Championship. He also just finished T6 at the Masters last month.

Pay Per Head Software

We have the second of four golf majors, the NBA Conference Finals and Stanley Cup conference semifinals, a full season of baseball, and before you know it, the NFL season will be here. If you are an independent bookmaker, you need to partner with a top pay per head service provider to keep up with it all.

AT&T Byron Nelson Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 10, 2022

We have just a week to go before the second major championship of the season, the PGA Championship. But before the best golfers in the world tee off at Southern Hills, there is one more tournament to look at – AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.

The field isn’t as star-studded as next week’s, but seven of the best golfers in the world will be at the AT&T Byron Nelson this weekend, including the top golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, and there is a $9,100,000 prize purse at stake.

Favorites to Win AT&T Byron Nelson Preview

Scottie Scheffler (+700)
Justin Thomas (+900)
Will Zalatoris (+1400)
Dustin Johnson (+1800)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+2200)
Sam Burns (+2200)
Hideki Matsuyama (+3500)
Joaquin Niemann (+3500)
Seamus Power (+3500)

The only way that Scottie Scheffler isn’t the favorite in any tournament on the schedule is if he doesn’t play. He’s won four of his last six individual tournaments, and he is taking no prisoners in this final tuneup before the PGA Championship. He’s atop the world rankings, and he’s been No. 1 in the FedExCup Standings since the first week of March.

It’s now been 14 months since Justin Thomas won a tournament, but his T8 at the Masters and T3 at the Valspar make him one of the favorites. Thomas will get into the winner’s circle again this year. It’s only a matter of time.

Will Zalatoris lives just up the road in Dallas, and at 19th in the FedExCup Standings, he is the highest-ranked player who is still in search of a first career victory. We’ve been talking about him getting that win for years now, but he’s coming off a T6 at the Masters and a T4 at the Zurich Classic, and we really mean it this time. He is going to win soon.

Best Value Bets

Jason Day is paying +5500, which are longer odds than you would expect for someone with four top-10 finishes at the Byron Nelson, including a win in 2010. He did miss the cut here last year, but his history of playing well at TPC Craig Ranch is enough to consider him a good bet.

Cameron Champ is paying +6500 for a W at AT&T Byron Nelson, which is excellent value for someone who seems to be figuring it all out at the moment. He missed five cuts early in the season, but a T10 at the Masters and a T6 at the Mexico Open makes him one to watch.

You might also want to take a flier on Sung Kang, paying +50000. He’s a member of TPC Craig Ranch and has been playing here for more than a decade. When it comes to AT&T Byron Nelson course familiarity, no one beats him.

Mexico Open at Vidanta Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on April 26, 2022

The Mexico Open has been around since 1944, but for the first time ever, the PGA Tour has put it on its schedule.

There will be 132 PGA Tour golfers, a prize purse of $7.3 million, 500 FedExCup points at stake, and a beautiful weekend spent in Vallarta, Mexico. Also being awarded are spots in the PGA Championship and the 2023 Players Championship and Masters.

Joining the field is Jon Rahm, who made his PGA Tour debut in Mexico seven years ago.

Favorites to Win Mexico Open at Vidanta

Jon Rahm (+350)
Kevin Na (+2000)
Gary Woodland (+2000)
Abraham Ancer (+2000)
Cameron Tringale (+2000)
Tony Finau (+2200)
Sebastian Munoz (+2500)
Aaron Wise (+3000)
Chris Kirk (+3500)
Patrick Reed (+3500)

Why should you place a bet on Jon Rahm? Because he’s the obvious Mexico Open pick here. Sometimes going with the golfer who is heads and shoulders above the rest of the field is the only smart play.

Rahm has three top-10 finishes this season, including runner-up at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, and he is the second-ranked player in the world. The next highest in this field is Abraham Ancer at 20th. Tony Finau is 25th. Kevin Na is ranked 32nd.

Simply put, no one else here is on Rahm’s level.

Why should you place a bet on someone other than Jon Rahm at the Mexico Open? Because it’s golf, and anything can happen. Because Ancer is playing in his home country and is carrying the banner for Mexico. Because Rahm, even as the No. 2 player in the world, has yet to win a tournament this year.

Longshots Worth a Look

Normally players at +2000 and +3000 would be considered longshots, but since Ancer, Tony Finau, and guys like Kevin Na and Gary Woodland are in the top-10, we’re not going to consider them Mexico Open longshots.

Carlos Ortiz, at +7000, qualifies. He has been sponsored by Vidanta since 2016, and his official title is Embajador de Vidanta Golf. The ambassador of Vidanta golf.

The Guadalajara native was a champion in the Greg Norman academy early in his career, and the course at Vidanta was designed by Norman. It’s more than just a connection. It’s a window into the kind of course that is built for Ortiz.

He is a Mexico Open longshot and just the 90th-ranked golfer in the world. But no one has more incentive this weekend than Ortiz.

One other golfer to consider is Matt Jones at +5500. This is a coastal course, subject to coastal winds, and Jones is good in those conditions. And his 2022 has been very good, finishing third at Kapalua, T15 at Riviera, and a T2 at San Antonio.

Zurich Classic of New Orleans Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on April 20, 2022

New Orleans is not your typical golf destination, and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans is definitely not your typical PGA event.

Golfers skew their regular individual play for a rare team event. The first member of the team is chosen based on the Tour priority rankings, and then that person chooses a partner that must be either a PGA Tour member or someone who has earned entry into the tournament through an exemption.

The teams of two compete by playing fourball in the first and third rounds and alternate shot for the second and fourth rounds. And each member of the winning team gets $1 million, 400 FedEx points, and invites to the PGA Championship and THE PLAYERS Championship.

Pretty nice incentives.

Favorites to Win the Zurich Classic

Hovland/Morikawa (+650)
Cantlay/Schauffele (+800)
Palmer/Scheffler (+900)
Leishman/Smith (+1000)
Burns/Horschel (+1200)
Fleetwood/Garcia (+1600)
Lowry/Poulter (+2200)
Gooch/Homa (+2200)
Neimann/Pereira (+2500)
Varner III/Watson (+2500)

The best duo on paper is Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa, but this will be the first time they’ve ever played together as a team, and they really don’t complement each other. Neither is great at putting, and that could come back to bite the pre-tournament favorites.

Ryan Palmer is a wildcard, but it feels like anyone could team up with Scottie Scheffler and be in the mix on Sunday. Scheffler has won four of his last six starts, including back-to-back wins at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play and a little tournament called the Masters.

Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith also deserve to be mentioned among the best bets this weekend. They won Zurich Classic as a team a year ago, Smith won it with a different partner in 2017, and Smith won THE PLAYERS Championship in March and just finished T3 at Augusta.

Best Value Bets

A solid choice that is paying +3500 is the twosome of Tyrrell Hatton and Danny Willett. Willet is excellent around the green, and Hatton is superb when he’s on the green.

As complements to one another’s game, no duo might be a better fit than these two. Hatton finished top-10 at the WGC Match Play in March, and Willett was just T12 at the Masters.

Paying +4500 should have you giving Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele a closer look. They play together all the time, and they both know each other’s strengths and weaknesses better than any team in the field. They also finished T4 at this tournament last year, just two off the lead.

Pay Per Head Software

The Masters 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on April 4, 2022

It is The Masters week, and as the tradition of golf at Augusta in early April returns, so returns the tradition of finding the golfers who are worthy of your Masters wagers.

The field is currently at 91 after J.J. Spaun won his way to Augusta by taking the Valero Texas Open. And one other not-so-small note about that 91 – it includes Tiger Woods, who has revealed that he may actually play.

More on Tiger in a bit, but first, let’s look at the top favorites in the field.

Favorites to Win The Masters

Jon Rahm (+1100)
Justin Thomas (+1400)
Cameron Smith (+1500)
Dustin Johnson (+1600)
Scottie Scheffler (+1600)
Rory McIlroy (+1800)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+2000)
Brooks Koepka (+2000)
Patrick Cantlay (+2000)
Viktor Hovland (+2000)

Jon Rahm has been replaced as the world’s No. 1 player, but he is still the favorite at Augusta because of his recent play here. In his last four Masters appearances, Rahm has finished fourth, T9, T7, and T5.

Scottie Scheffler is the new No. 1 player in the world with three wins in his last five starts, but he is still looking for his first-ever win in a major. In his two previous visits to Augusta, he finished T19 and T18.

Rory McIlroy is just behind Scheffler, and the only hole in his resume is a Green Jacket from Augusta National. His best was a fourth-place finish in 2015. He was also in the top-10 in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020.

Best Value Bets

Will Zalatoris at +4000 deserves a look. He’s only played at Augusta once, but he was the runner-up last year. His lack of a PGA Tour win is why his number is so high.

Matt Fitzpatrick is paying +6600, which makes sense since he’s finished outside the top-20 in his last five starts here. But he did have a T7 in 2016, and why he’s really worth a look is his four top-10 finishes in five PGA starts this year.

And then there is….

Tiger Woods

Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is on the board at +8000, which is the same odds you can get for Tony Finau and Sergio Garcia, even though we’re not sure that Tiger will play. Although the mere fact that him playing is a possibility is a huge story.

According to Woods, he has walked the course at Augusta and the leg that was nearly lost in a serious wreck 14 months ago was able to handle the workload. Woods says that he will continue to work this week, and he will be a “game-time decision” on Thursday.

Valero Texas Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on March 29, 2022

The PGA Tour is in Texas for the Valero Texas Open, a final tournament before the Masters, and look for there to be plenty of late-round drama. Not all of the tickets to the Masters have been given out, and if a non-Masters invitee wins this weekend, he will suddenly have new travel plans to make.

It happened in the most dramatic fashion three years ago when Corey Conners qualified for the Valero Texas Open on the Monday before the tournament and then won it, playing the following weekend at the biggest event in American golf.

So keep an eye on the final Sunday groups and who might have added incentive and added pressure over the last few holes.

Favorites to Win Valero Texas Open

Rory McIlroy (+800)
Jordan Spieth (+1400)
Corey Conners (+1800)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)
Abraham Ancer (+2000)
Bryson DeChambeau (+2800)
Si-Woo Kim (+3500)
Tony Finau (+3500)
Keegan Bradley (+3500)
Chris Kirk (+3500)
Maverick McNealy (+3500)
Adam Hadwin (+3500)
Gary Woodland (+3500)

Most of the world’s best are skipping this final tune-up before the Masters, but favorite Rory McIlroy is here. He’s won the U.S. Open, The British Open, and the PGA Championship, but his best-ever finish in Augusta was fourth in 2015. He played the Valero Texas Open just once before, in 2013, and he finished second.

Jordan Spieth was the winner at the Masters in 2015, the same year that McIlroy finished fourth. The native Texan was the winner at this event in 2021. At the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship last week, Spieth finished 35th.

The aforementioned Corey Conners, a winner here in 2019, is coming off a great third-place showing at the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship. Two tournaments before that, he was 11th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Best Value Bets

At +3500, you should give Chris Kirk a look. He finished T5 at the Arnold Palmer, T7 at the Honda Classic, and T14 at the Phoenix Open.

To go along with his great play over the last two months, he has three top-10 finishes at the Texas Open. A win here would net you a tidy sum and put Kirk in the Masters for the first time since 2016.

Another golfer at +3500 deserving of consideration is Gary Woodland. He had T5s at both the Arnold Palmer and Honda Classic, and last year at the Valero Texas Open, he finished with a T6.

If you’re really feeling it, Luke List is paying +5000. He’s not been good since his win at Torrey Pines two months ago, but he does have that win, and he was inside the top-20 at this tournament last year.

Following the Valero Texas Open tournament in San Antonio this weekend, we’re in Georgia next weekend for the Masters. Then after that, the PGA Tour makes its annual trip to Hilton Head and the RBC Heritage.

2022 World Golf Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on March 22, 2022

March is known for its tournament brackets and single-elimination head-to-heads, and it’s not just for college basketball. The golf world takes a pause from its usual format to play its own tournament bracket at the 2022 World Golf Championship.

It’s 64 of the world’s top players going head-to-head at the Austin Country Club, just 83 miles up the road from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, where a pair of Sweet 16 games will be played. And just as with all of the college basketball games this weekend, golf has its favorites, its underdogs, and its Cinderellas.

Favorites to Win 2022 World Golf Championship

Jon Rahm (+1400)
Justin Thomas (+1600)
Viktor Hovland (+1800)
Collin Morikawa (+2000)
Scottie Scheffler (+2000)
Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
Dustin Johnson (+2200)
Xander Schauffele (+2500)
Billy Horschel (+2800)
Daniel Berger (+2800)
Jordan Spieth (+2800)

Tournament Format

Beginning on Wednesday and going through Friday, the field of 64 is split into 16 seeded groups of four golfers each. And over those three days, each player in the group will play a match against each of the other three players. One point is awarded for a match win, and a half-point is awarded for a match tie.

The top point getter in each group advances to the single-elimination round of 16, to be played Saturday morning, with the quarterfinals to be played Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning is the semifinals, and by Sunday evening, we will have a 2022 World Golf Championship champion.

Best Bets to Win

Jon Rahm is the best golfer in the world, and he’s also done well at this event. In 2018 he was the runner-up here in Austin, and in 2019 he finished fifth.

Billy Horschel is the defending champion, and last year when he won, he was paying +8000. He’s down to +2800 this year, but that’s still good value for a golfer who does well on this course and in this format.

Scottie Scheffler (+2000) was the runner-up to Horschel in 2021, so he, too, feels comfortable on this course and in this format.
