The inaugural season of the LIV Golf Invitational Series will continue this week as 48 players descend upon Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in Saudi Arabia. This week's tournament will be the seventh of eight events on the LIV Golf schedule. Play gets underway on Friday, Oct. 14. 

Familiar names like Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson have all been crowned champions this season. However, Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra held off Patrick Reed for his first professional victory in Bangkok last week. According to the latest 2022 LIV Golf Jeddah odds, Johnson is going off as the 9-2 favorite, with Smith (11-2) and Joaquin Niemann (9-1) next in line. Before locking in your 2022 LIV Golf Jeddah picks, be sure to see the predictions and best bets from golf insider Patrick McDonald.

After spending time at FanSided and NBC Sports EDGE, McDonald joined CBS Sports as a golf writer in the spring of 2022. Now covering the sport from a broader perspective, McDonald still likes to dip his toes into the betting pools on a weekly basis on the PGA Tour. 

He takes a measured approach to his outright selections and is up nearly 75 units in 2022 having hit Cameron Smith (+2200) at the Tournament of Champions, Hudson Swafford (+25000) at the American Express, Joaquin Niemann (+7000) at the Genesis Invitational and Justin Thomas (+6600) live at the PGA Championship.

Now, McDonald has studied the 2022 LIV Golf Jeddah field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid.

We can tell you that McDonald is high on Harold Varner III, who's listed as a 25-1 longshot. "Varner is the most recent winner at this golf course and is in the middle of some strong play after LIV Golf Bangkok." McDonald told SportsLine. "He gained roughly +2.87 strokes per round on the field at this course in February and arrives of a T6 effort last week. He has improved in each and every LIV Golf event that he has played as he gets more comfortable with the 54-hole format and shotgun style start." 

McDonald also has broken down the 2022 LIV Golf Jeddah event from every angle and reveals why he's completely avoiding this major champion at Royal Greens. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any picks of your own.
