If Patrick Reed is able to finish on top of the leaderboard this week at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open, he’ll become the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2007-08) to win this event in back-to-back years. Reed will have to stave off a number of serious contenders if he wants to rewrite the history books. Jon Rahm, the No. 1 ranked player in the world, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele are among the experienced players looking to dethrone Reed and win the Farmers Insurance Open 2022.
Play gets underway from Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, Calif., on Wednesday, Jan. 26. Rahm enters this week’s event as the 15-2 favorite according to the latest 2022 Farmers Insurance Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook. He’s followed by Thomas (12-1), Schauffele (16-1), Hideki Matusyama (18-1), Johnson (18-1) and DeChambeau (18-1) on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2022 Farmers Insurance Open 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 of 2020. In fact, it’s up almost $10,000 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
Earlier this season at the 2021 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, the model was all over Viktor Hovland (18-1) winning his third PGA Tour title.
At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. He was also all over Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) finishing inside the top-20. McClure’s best bets netted over $2,200 at the 2021 Open Championship.
In addition, McClure’s model was 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. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm’s (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners’ (+550) top-10 showing.
This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the Farmers Insurance Open 2022 field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2022 Farmers Insurance Open leaderboard.
The model’s top 2022 Farmers Insurance Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open: DeChambeau, an eight-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles and doesn’t even crack the top-10. The 28-year-old is coming off a sensational season, which culminated in a top-10 finish at the Tour Championship. DeChambeau secured a total of nine top-10 finishes last season, which included two victories.
However, DeChambeau finished T-25 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions earlier this month, his only start on the PGA Tour this season. He’s now finished T-25 or worse in seven of his last 12 starts dating back to last season, which doesn’t bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Farmers Insurance Open 2022 field.
Another surprise: Jordan Spieth, a 30-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Spieth has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Spieth certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 12-time PGA Tour champion had a major resurgence last season, recording one win and nine top-10 finishes. He was able to secure those positive results thanks in large part to his sensational putting stroke, and he’s been putting well early this season.
In fact, Spieth enters this week’s event ranked 19th in putting average (1.685) and 33rd in one-putt percentage (43.06). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick in 2022 Farmers Insurance Open bets this week.
How to make 2022 Farmers Insurance Open picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or higher who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see them here.
