Another loaded PGA Tour field is on tap for the 2022 RBC Canadian Open, which tees off Thursday at St. George's Golf and Country Club in Toronto. The RBC Canadian Open field includes five of the world's top 10 golfers, led by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy, ranked eighth, returns to defend his 2019 title after cruising to a seven-stroke victory. He finished 22 under, going 17 under par on the weekend at Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The event was canceled the past two years because of the pandemic. 

Among the many other notables in the field are Justin Thomas, Sam Burns and Cameron Smith. Scheffler is the 8-1 favorite in Caesars Sportsbook's latest 2022 RBC Canadian Open golf odds, just ahead of McIlroy and Thomas, both priced at 9-1. Smith is priced at 12-1, Burns is 14-1 and Matt Fitzpatrick (18-1), Shane Lowry (18-1) and Corey Conners (20-1) also are among the favorites in the RBC Canadian Open 2022 field.

Which players can you trust for your 2022 RBC Canadian Open fantasy golf picks? Before you bet this PGA Tour event or lock in your lineups, you NEED to see the 2022 RBC Canadian Open Fantasy golf rankings from Fantasy expert Riley Gates.

Gates is a writer for 247Sports and has covered a range of sports for nearly six years. He has followed golf closely for much longer and has a profound knowledge of the sport. He also knows what it takes to win, on the course and in fantasy sports.

At last week's Memorial Tournament, five of Gates' nine picks finished in the top 15, including Will Zalatoris, who tied for fifth. His biggest sleeper pick of  the week, Brendan Steele -- priced at just $6,600 at DraftKings -- posted a top-10 finish!  

And at the Charles Schwab Challenge, three of Gates' top six picks finished in the top four on the final leaderboard, including winner Burns and runner-up  Scheffler. Before the PGA, Gates had both winner Justin Thomas and 30-1 shot Zalatoris, who lost to Thomas in a playoff, among his top five picks. 

Gates has been on a serious roll all season. Before the Wells Fargo Championship, four of his top six players finished in the top five. That included winner Max Homa, a 40-1 long shot, and runners-up Keegan Bradley (35-1) and Matt Fitzpatrick (22-1). Anyone who has followed Gates is WAY UP!

Now, Gates has ranked his top players for the 2022 RBC Canadian Open. We can tell you that the expert is backing Rory McIlroy, who is priced at $10,500 at DraftKings. The Northern Irishman is the defending champion, but since that was three years ago, that isn't the reason. McIlroy has three top-10 finishes in his last four tournaments, and Gates expects him to keep rolling.     

On the other hand, Gates is fading Fitzpatrick ($9,900), with the expert impressed with his performance so far but expecting him to be looking ahead. "I think he has his mind set on winning a major this year," Gates says. He expects the 27-year-old to just get some swings in to get ready for next week's U.S. Open at Brookline. 

For the 2022 RBC Canadian Open, the Fantasy expert is behind a long shot who comes in at MASSIVE odds of around 300-1 and priced under $7,000 at DraftKings! Gates says this player has been shooting low rounds and just needs to string some together to be a HUGE steal as one of the lower-priced players on the board. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who Gates is backing and check out his top picks before you bet the 2022 RBC Canadian Open or enter any RBC Canadian Open 2022 fantasy golf picks.
