The 2022 Players Championship gets underway on Thursday from TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The 2022 Players Championship field is one of the strongest of the season, featuring 48 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking. 

Caesars Sportsbook lists Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa as the 14-1 co-favorites in the latest 2022 Players Championship odds. They are followed by Rory McIlroy (18-1), Viktor Hovland (20-1), Patrick Cantlay (25-1) and Scottie Scheffler (25-1) on the PGA odds board. 

We simulated The Players Championship 2022 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

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 almost $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

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. 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. 

This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for at The Players Championship 2022: Morikawa, a five-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn't even crack the top five! Another surprise: Will Zalatoris, a 40-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!

Also, the model is targeting FOUR 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.

So who wins the 2022 Players Championship? And which HUGE long shots make a serious run at the title? ... Join SportsLine right now to see who you can bank on to win The Players Championship 2022, and see which long shots make a run at the title, all from the model that nailed seven majors!
