2022 Open Championship odds, picks: Tiger Woods predictions by same golf model that nailed eight majors
Table of Contents
Two of Tiger Woods’ three Open Championship wins have come at the Old Course at St. Andrews, which is where he’ll take on other 2022 Open Championship contenders once again starting Thursday. Woods called St. Andrews his favorite course in the world in comments to the media over the weekend, increasing the excitement among fans eager to see him take succeed in the Open Championship 2022. Woods chose to make an early exit from the U.S. Open, but appears ready to suit up for the 2022 British Open.
Woods is 60-1 to win in the latest 2022 Open Championship odds on Caesars Sportsbook, as he prepares to take on the world’s top golfers. Leading the way in the rest of the 2022 Open Championship field is Rory McIlroy at 9-1, followed by Xander Schauffele (14-1), Jon Rahm (14-1), and Scottie Scheffler (16-1). Before locking in your 2022 Open Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, it’s up almost $9,600 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scottie Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend. The model also nailed Tiger Woods’ exact finishing position at Augusta National before the tournament started (47th). In addition, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot.
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 Open Championship field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2022 Open Championship leaderboard.
Top 2022 Open Championship predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Open Championship 2022: Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked player in the world and one of the top favorites, stumbles at St. Andrews and barely cracks the top five. Since taking over the No. 1 spot, Scheffler has as many missed cuts (two) as he does top-three finishes and hasn’t won an event since the Masters in April.
Scheffler missed the cut in the Genesis Scottish Open, which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in his ability to navigate the unique terrain of Scottish courses ahead of this weekend’s action. He has finished with a negative strokes gained margin putting in five of his last seven events. His play around the green also left something to be desired last weekend, as he finished with a minus-1.06 strokes gained mark in that category despite being ranked in the top 20 for the season among all golfers with a .323 average.
The model has also revealed where Tiger Woods will finish in the Open Championship 2022. Woods has had plenty of success throughout his career, especially in majors. He’s recorded 15 major victories, just three behind Jack Nicklaus for most all-time.
Woods has also won 82 events on the PGA Tour, tied with Sam Snead for the most all-time. He’s had success at St. Andrews as well, winning the Open Championship in 2000 and 2005. Woods is a long shot to win the Open Championship 2022 according to oddsmakers, but his success at major championships and extensive knowledge of the course could be major X-factors. The model just locked in its Tiger Woods British Open picks here.
How to make 2022 Open Championship picks
The model is also targeting four golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see them here.
