The first PGA Tour event of the calendar year gets underway on Thursday, Jan. 6, when the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions tees-off from Hawaii. The 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions field features 38 of the 39 winners from last season, including Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka.

Caesars Sportsbook lists Rahm and Thomas as the 17-2 co-favorites in the latest 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions odds, followed closely by Collin Morikawa (10-1), Viktor Hovland (12-1), Bryson DeChambeau (12-1) and Xander Schauffle (14-1).

We simulated the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions 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, it's up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

At the 2021 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba in November, the model was all over Viktor Hovland (18-1) winning his third PGA Tour title. 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. He was also all over Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700) finishing inside the top-20. McClure's best bets netted over $2,200 at the Open Championship.

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. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm's (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing. 

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 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions: DeChambeau, an eight-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top-10. Another surprise: Jordan Spieth, a 22-1 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 TWO other golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer who will make surprising runs! Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it BIG.
