The LIV Golf series is set to host its second tournament this week as 48 players compete at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Oregon. This week's event will be the LIV tour's first stop in the United States, which is expected to host five of the league's eight events.

According to the latest 2022 LIV Golf Portland odds, Dustin Johnson is going off as the 13-2 favorite, with Louis Oosthuizen (9-1), Brooks Koepka (10-1) and Abraham Ancer (11-1) next in line. Before locking in your 2022 LIV Golf Portland 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 Portland field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. 

We can tell you that McDonald is fading Sergio Garcia, who's listed among the favorites at 14-1. "The Spaniard has simply not looked sharp in 2022, let alone the last month," McDonald told SportsLine. "A T48 finish at the BMW International Open and a T22 in the London LIV event sandwich a missed cut at the U.S. Open. Garcia remains a fantastic driver of the golf ball, but the rest of his game has been wildly inconsistent and makes for an easy pass at this price."

McDonald also has locked in a slew of other prop bets for the 2022 LIV Golf Portland event, including an EPIC long shot listed higher than 50-1 who could win it all! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any picks of your own.
