The 2022 Genesis Scottish Open features one of the better non-major fields of the season. Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele are just some of the big names in the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open field. Fourteen of the top 15 golfers in the world are set to tee it up this week at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. Play gets underway on Thursday, July 7.
According to the latest 2022 Genesis Scottish Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook, Rahm is going off as the 11-1 favorite. Scheffler and Thomas are next in line on the PGA odds board at 12-1, while Schauffele (18-1) and Matt Fitzpatrick (18-1) are close behind. Before making any 2022 Genesis Scottish Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $10,600 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model included J.T. Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scottie Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
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. 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 Genesis Scottish Open 2022 field is locked, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2022 Genesis Scottish Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open: Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked player in the world and one of the top favorites, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. Scheffler has been the hottest player on tour this season, securing four victories and three runner-up finishes. He’s recorded a total of nine top-10 finishes this season, which includes a T-2 finish at the U.S. Open in June.
However, Scheffler has failed to crack the top-10 in five of his last seven starts on the PGA Tour. In addition, Scheffler currently ranks 121st in driving accuracy percentage (59.35%), 135th in one-putt percentage (38.48%) and 96th in total putting (211.8), which could cause major trouble this week. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Genesis Scottish Open 2022 field.
Another surprise: Will Zalatoris, a 28-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Zalatoris 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.
Zalatoris certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 25-year-old has finished T-6 or better in six of his last eight starts on the PGA Tour, which includes a runner-up showing at the U.S. Open. He’s been able to secure those positive results thanks to his impeccable iron play. In fact, Zalatoris currently ranks eighth on tour in greens in regulation percentage (69.74), which makes him a strong value pick for your 2022 Genesis Scottish Open bets this week.
How to make 2022 Genesis Scottish Open picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s 2022 Scottish Open picks here.
