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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He also has the added feature of being the hottest golfer in the world right now. Scheffler was the winner at the Phoenix Open and Arnold Palmer Invitational and sandwiched a T7 at The Genesis between those two victories.

Sergio Garcia has never won this event, but he is terrific in match play. He’s made it to at least the round of 16 nine times at Austin, including the quarterfinals a year ago, making his +5000 payday an attractive flier.

Also at +5000 is Kevin Kisner, who just finished fourth at The PLAYERS. He also had a T3 at the Sony Open, but most importantly, he finished second at this event in 2018 and then won it in 2019.

The Players Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on March 8, 2022

Outside of Pebble Beach and Augusta, there may be no more recognizable course than the Pete Dye-designed TPC Sawgrass, the home of The Players Championship. Even if you’ve never actually played the course, without question, you have pictured yourself trying to hit the famous “Island Green” on 17.

And not only is the course great, the field is packed each and every year. At $20 million, it has the highest prize fund of any tournament in the world, it regularly attracts the full complement of top-50 players in the world, and it is often referred to as the PGA Tour’s unofficial fifth major.

But as good as the field is, The Players has never produced a repeat champion. Six players have won more than once – Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Hal Sutton, Davis Love III, and Tiger Woods – but none of them won consecutively.

Favorites to win The Players Championship

Jon Rahm (+800)
Rory McIlroy (+1400)
Justin Thomas (+1400)
Collin Morikawa (+1600)
Viktor Hovland (+2000)
Patrick Cantlay (+2000)
Dustin Johnson (+2200)
Xander Schauffele (+2200)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2500)
Cameron Smith (+2500)

Jon Rahm has finished in the top-three in two of his six starts in 2022, and he’s been in the top-10 in three of them. He has yet to post a win this year, but he’s the betting favorite at next month’s Masters, and he is the betting favorite here. For the record, in each of the tournaments he has played in 2022, Rahm has been on top of the favorites board.

Collin Morikawa has only played this event once, and he finished 41st. But he hasn’t finished worse than seventh in any event in 2022, and he’s got the exact kind of form you would expect from a future champion at Sawgrass.

Longshots to Consider

Sergio Garcia is past his prime, but at +8000, he is definitely worth a look. He’s a veteran of this course, having played it 21 times.

And last year, he actually had a two-shot lead following Thursday’s opening round before eventually finishing ninth on Sunday. He also rarely misses the cut, meaning that your +8000 bet should be around to make some noise in the final round.

Another longshot odds-wise is Brian Harman, paying +10000. But he only looks like a longshot on the favorites board. He finished T3 at The Players last year and T9 in 2019.

And this year, he has a T3 at The American Express to go along with a 14th place finish at the Phoenix Open. Good play at Sawgrass, good form this year, and a huge payday if he wins. What’s not to like?

2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on March 1, 2022

Right now, the PGA Tour is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. And the same can be said for the upcoming tournament, the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Over the last five weeks, we have seen four first-time winners, and yes, that is a very unusual pace. We’ve played eight total tournaments in 2022, and in 2021 a total of 25 tournaments were played before there were four first-time winners.

So looking at the past can only get us so far in predicting who wins each week and who wins this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando.

Favorites to Win Arnold Palmer Invitational

Jon Rahm (+750)
Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Scottie Scheffler (+1600)
Viktor Hovland (+1800)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (+2000)
Sung-Jae Im (+2200)
Will Zalatoris (+2500)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2500)
Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)
Marc Leishman (+2800)

As is the case with any tournament that he enters, Jon Rahm is the favorite. He doesn’t have a win in 2022, but the six-time PGA Tour winner has three top-10 finishes this year and has twice finished in the top-five.

It’s Rahm’s first-ever visit to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but Rory McIlroy is making his eighth straight appearance. He won in 2018 and has top-10 finishes in 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Two weeks ago, McIlroy played his first and only tournament of 2022 and finished T10 at the Genesis Invitational.

Third on the board is Scottie Scheffler, one of those four first-time winners we’ve had recently. He won at Phoenix and then followed that up with T7 at Riviera. He played the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2020 and finished 15th.

Best Value Bets

In the vein of first-time winners, Will Zalatoris is striking the ball well, and most of the golfing world thinks he’s overdue for his first win. He finished T6 at The American Express and second at the Farmers Insurance Open, and most importantly, he is paying +2500.

Adam Scott is paying +3500, and along with that big potential payday, he brings solid play of late and a good history at Bay Hill. He played strong golf at the Genesis two weeks ago, shooting a 66 in the final round and finishing T4. At the Arnold Palmer, he has a pair of third-place finishes, with the first coming in 2004 and the second coming in 2014.

At +5000, take a look at Jason Kokrak. He finished 2021 strong with a win at the Houston Open. He had a T17 at the Sony Open in January and was undone by a tough final round at Riviera. Before the final 18, he was tied for 12th. Last year at the Arnold Palmer, he finished in eighth, which was his fourth top-10 finish at this event.

The Genesis Invitational Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 15, 2022

This stretch of golf to begin the season is always one of the highlights of the season. You get the majesty of Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach along the Pacific coast, the incredible crowds and atmosphere of Scottsdale, and the Phoenix Open, and now this week, we get the Genesis Invitational, which features some of the best golf in the world outside of the four major championships.

This weekend at Riviera all 10 of the world’s top-10 will be on the same course, playing one of the best events of the year. It’s also the first weekend of golf in a post-NFL world, and that makes it even more appealing for sports betting. If you are craving the best at their craft in a full-scale competitive showdown, the Genesis Invitational has you covered.

Favorites to Win the Genesis Invitational

Jon Rahm (+900)
Patrick Cantlay (+1100)
Dustin Johnson (+1600)
Justin Thomas (+1600)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Cameron Smith (+2000)
Rory McIlroy (+2000)
Xander Schauffele (+2000)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2200)
Victor Hovland (+2500)

Jon Rahm is the best player in the world, and he has a pair of top-10 finishes in the last three years at Riviera.

Patrick Cantlay is another obvious choice. He’s played four events in 2022, and he has four top-10 finishes and two top-fives, including a runner-up last week at the Phoenix Open. Cantlay was also a top-five finisher at Riviera in 2019.

Dustin Johnson is second all-time in money won at the Genesis, which includes a victory in 2017 and a pair of second-place finishes in 2014 and 2015. His 2022 started off rough, but a strong finish at the Saudi International last week, coupled with ten total top-10 finishes at Riviera, makes Johnson an appealing play.

Like Johnson, Justin Thomas is paying +1600, and he is also another solid play. He finished fifth at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, eighth at the Phoenix Open, and was a second-place finisher in 2019 at Riviera. He famously had a four-shot lead in that Genesis before closing with a final round 75.

Other Golfers to Watch

Adam Scott is only paying +4000, and his 38th place finish at the Phoenix Open is a big reason why. But his history at Riviera is why you should ignore what he’s done on other courses. He’s won this event twice, including in 2020, and two other times he finished as the runner-up.

Bubba Watson is another player at +4000 and another former winner at Riviera that is worth a closer look. He won this tournament in 2014, 2016, and 2018, but unlike Adam Scott, Watson is playing good golf currently. He was a runner-up at the Saudi International and finished with four sub-par rounds at the Phoenix Open, finishing tied-for-14th.

Farmers Insurance Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 25, 2022

In a bit of a twist, because the PGA Tour doesn’t want to compete against the NFL, this weekend’s golf tournament at Torrey Pines tees off on Wednesday, with the final round scheduled for Saturday.

PGA Tour president Tyler Dennis thanked the Farmers Insurance Open for its “innovative thinking with this shift in competition days” and applauded the “action-packed weekend for sports fans” that it has helped to create.

Torrey Pines has traditionally been the start of the PGA Tour season on CBS (broadcast home of the AFC Championship Game), and it’s also produced some of the most exciting results anywhere on Tour.

Favorites to Win Farmers Insurance Open

Jon Rahm (+700)
Justin Rose (+1400)
Bryson DeChambeau (+1800)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)
Sam Burns (+2200)
Daniel Berger (+2200)
Dustin Johnson (+2500)
Tony Finau (+2500)
Scottie Scheffler (+2800)

The tournament is played on the two courses at Torrey Pines, the South and North course, with the South course measuring more than 7,700 yards. The South course is where the tournament will finish, and it’s not only a monster in length but narrow and with deep rough. Being great off the tee is imperative.

Jon Rahm is, of course, the favorite as the No. 1 golfer in the world. But four other members of the top-10 in the world are at Torrey Pines this week – Dustin Johnson (4th), Xander Schauffele (6th), Bryson DeChambeau (9th), and Hideki Matsuyama (10th).

There are two challenges for golfers, in that you need to do well on the South course, and not surprisingly, 10 of the last 16 winners here ranked among the leaders in driving distance. But you also need to do well on the North course, because that’s where you can make up strokes on the competition.

Golfers to Watch

Will Zalatoris mania has its roots in how he’s done in the Majors, but he was also seventh at the Farmers a year ago. He is still in search of his first career win, and this might be the place where it happens. He’s paying +3000.

Bryson DeChambeau has the necessary length off the tee, and while he has missed in the cut in his previous two Farmers starts, he does typically do well in California. The native Californian had a strong 54 holes at Torrey Pines at last year’s U.S. Open before fading with a final round 77.

Another golfer who plays well in California is Tony Finau. Last year he was a runner-up at the Farmers, was fourth at The American Express, and runner-up at The Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades. He’s gone top-10 in four of his last five Torrey Pines starts.

Sentry Tournament of Champions Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 5, 2022

Traditionally the golf season doesn’t really heat up until the first major of the year at the Masters. But at Kapalua, this weekend eight of the top-10 ranked players in the world, and 16 of the top 20, will give the first event of the 2022 calendar year the feel of a showcase event, Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Not unlike how NASCAR begins its year with the Daytona 500, the Sentry Tournament of Champions features the best golfers in the world playing on one of the most recognizable courses on tour. And all golfers will be competing from beginning to end because there is no cut this week. It’s 39 golfers playing 72 holes.

Sentry Tournament of Champions Odds

Jon Rahm (+600)
Justin Thomas (+850)
Collin Morikawa (+1000)
Viktor Hovland (+1200)
Xander Schauffele (+1200)
Bryson DeChambeau (+1200)
Patrick Cantlay (+1400)
Sam Burns (+1800)
Daniel Berger (+2000)
Hideki Matsuyama (+2200)
Sungjae Im (+2200)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Jordan Spieth (+2200)

Not surprisingly the number one golfer in the world, Jon Rahm, is the odds on favorite. Sitting atop the favorite’s board is going to become a familiar position for him this coming year, although it is worth remembering that he finished last year with two missed cuts in his final three tournaments.

Following Rahm is Justin Thomas, a two-time winner at Kapalua. The defending British Open Champion Collin Morikawa, and the PGA Champion in 2020, is third on the list. He’s in the tournament for just the second time in his career, but his grandparents were born on Maui, and Morikawa first played the Plantation Course when he was just nine years old.

Top Picks

Rahm, Thomas, and Morikawa will all be in the mix this weekend, and another golfer that should be in the hunt on Sunday is Xander Schauffele. His last three trips to Kapalua have netted a victory, a runner-up finish, and a top-five.

Another golfer to consider is Viktor Hovland. He finished 2021 with a November win at Mayakoba and a December win at the Hero World Challenge. Patrick Cantlay is also coming in with a strong finish to last year, having won three matches at the Ryder Cup, as well as winning the FedEx Cup.

Best Value Pick

A bet on Patrick Reed pays +2800, which is excellent value considering his experience and success on the Plantation Course. He was runner-up here in 2020, and has three other top-10 finishes, including a win in 2015.

Reed also had a strong end to 2021, finishing tied for second at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and he tied for third at the Hero World Challenge in December.
