Texas will host its final PGA Tour stop of the season when golfers take part in the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club later this week. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be looking to bounce back after missing the cut at the PGA Championship last weekend. Scheffler is the 10-1 favorite in the latest 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge odds at Caesars Sportsbook, while PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas is 12-1.
Scheffler is one of several native Texans in the field, with Jordan Spieth (14-1) being another. Defending Charles Schwab Challenge winner Jason Kokrak is a 40-1 long shot. Before making any 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge picks, be sure to see the PGA Tour predictions and betting advice from SportsLine’s proven golf model.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, it’s up over $9,500 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model included Thomas in its best bets to win the 2022 PGA Championship. That bet hit at +1600, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned almost $800. At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. The model was also all over Jon Rahm’s (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner.
This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge (see tickets at StubHub) is approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Charles Schwab Challenge 2022: Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player and the tournament favorite, stumbles and fails to win. Scheffler has four wins this season, which is twice as many as any other golfer and he’s also the No. 1 player in FedEx Cup rankings. But he’s coming off a missed cut at the PGA Championship which ended a streak of seven straight top-25 finishes at major tournaments.
Scheffler grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and says he loves the Colonial Country Club, but that adoration hasn’t translated into success when playing it. He’s competed at this tournament each of the last two years, missing the cut in 2021 and finishing 55th in 2020. Also, Perry Maxwell, who designed the Colonial Country Club, also designed Southern Hills Country Club which just hosted the PGA Championship and saw Scheffler miss the cut there. Despite his world ranking and dominant tour season, the model sees there being far better options than Scheffler for 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge bets.
Another surprise: Sam Burns, a 25-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Burns is quietly putting together one of the best seasons of any golfer on the PGA Tour. He played six consecutive tournaments inside the top 15 from October to December before going on to finish ninth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Burns added a win at the Valspar Championship and finished second at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
He is near the top of the PGA Tour’s official money list, but he is not respected by the betting market. Burns added to his good form with a top 20 finish at the PGA Championship, giving himself something to build on this weekend. He ranks inside the top 15 in total shots gained this season, which is one reason why SportsLine’s model has identified him as a valuable long shot.
