PGA Championship 2022 Betting Picks & PGA Predictions
Ben Rasa’s Pick: Xander Schauffele
Outright: +2500 (BetMGM Sportsbook)
There is no doubt that Xander Schauffele can be a difficult and frustrating guy to back in the outright betting market. At times, he seems on the short list to breakout and win a major, while at other moments he seemingly isn’t close to competing. That was the case at Augusta where he made a single birdie in two days en route to a horrendous missed cut. He rebounded with a win at the team event with Patrick Cantlay and stormed late during the Byron Nelson with a closing 61. His balanced game, with positive strokes gained in all four categories, should serve him well at what’s going to be a very difficult layout. Due to some lackluster performances we get an appealing number, and I’m willing to back Schauffele to be in contention and possibly take down his first career major.
Geoff Ulrich’s Pick: Alex Noren
Outright: +15000 (MGM) | Top 5: +2000 (MGM)
Ben stole my main pick with Xander (who I agree is great value at +2500 or better), so let’s turn our attention down the board to Alex Noren, who is giving me major 2021 Louis Oosthuizen vibes at the moment — and is available at some massive outright odds around the industry. Eight straight made cuts to begin 2022 is impressive, but the Swede is also hitting the ball better than he has in nearly four years and has now gained strokes on approach in seven of his last eight events. Noren’s a terrific putter (fourth in strokes gained putting on bentgrass over the last 50 rounds) so the consistency he’s showing elsewhere should have us interested. He posted top-20s at the long and tough TPC Harding Park and Winged Foot in 2020 (when playing far less consistently) and won’t mind a windy week at all. The cherry on top is an early Thursday/later Friday tee time which could (if the current forecast holds) help him avoid the worst of the gusts this week. He’s a longshot yes — so ensure you back in the top-five or top-10 market as well — but a live one this week for me.

Jason Rouslin’s Pick: Jordan Spieth & Rory McIlroy
Top 5/10 Parlay: +1385 (FanDuel)
Paired together for the first two days, and in the more favorable wave, Spieth and McIlroy both come into the week playing some of their best golf of the year. While Rory didn’t end up getting it done a few weeks ago at the Wells Fargo, he held tough the whole week to give himself a chance when it mattered. That’s his only start since coming in second at The Masters and a brilliant Sunday 64, as he takes all that momentum into this week. Spieth equally used his missed cut at The Masters to fuel his spirit, as he’s come in first and second in his two starts since then. Each of them should be there on Sunday, and while neither may end up pulling out the victory, a +1385 top-5 parlay and +530 Top-10 parlay provide rooting interest outside of an outright win. Only found on FanDuel at this time.
Eric Lindquist’s Pick: Max Homa
Outright: +6600 (BetMGM)
There were some 80-1 numbers lingering around for Max Homa earlier in the week, so hopefully you were able to capitalize on that misprice. But even at 66-1, I have no qualms with capturing the upside of the now four-time PGA Tour winner at a major venue. His victory two weeks ago at the Wells Fargo is pretty indicative of what he’ll face this week: extreme wind, tough scoring conditions, and a demand on overall ball-striking. He’s now gained a massive amount of strokes with the driver in five consecutive weeks, and somehow even more with the irons. And amongst his eight starts this calendar year, Homa has finished top 20 in all but two. That means he’s getting himself in the mix consistently, which makes this an easy buy at well north of 50-1.
