2022 Tour Championship picks, odds, Fantasy golf power rankings: PGA Tour predictions and best bets from top golf expert
The PGA Tour season has reached its end, and there should be plenty of drama this week when the 2022 Tour Championship tees off at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Scottie Scheffler regained the lead in the FedEx Cup standings after his tie for third at the BMW Championship. Will Zalatoris, who entered that tournament with the lead, had to withdraw with a back injury and won't play this week. But Patrick Cantlay, the defending FedEx Cup champion, is right there again after winning his second consecutive BMW Championship. Cantlay will start the tournament Thursday at 10 under par in the FedEx Cup Playoffs' staggered format, with Cantlay two strokes back.
Caesars Sportsbook lists Scheffler as the 11-5 favorite to win the FedEx Cup title in its latest Tour Championship odds. Cantlay (7-2), Xander Schauffele (13-2) and Rory McIlroy (9-1) also are in the mix for the $18 million prize. Caesars also lists odds for the winner without starting strokes, and McIlroy is the 7-1 favorite, followed by Jon Rahm (9-1). Scheffler (10-1), Schauffle (10-1) and Cantlay (10-1) also are among the favorites in the Tour Championship 2022 field to win without the starting strokes.
Which players can you trust for your 2022 Tour Championship fantasy golf picks? Before you bet the 2022 Tour Championship or lock in any Fantasy golf lineups, you NEED to see the 2022 Tour Championship 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.
Gates had another strong week at the BMW Championship, as he tabbed Cantlay as a player well worth the price ($9,900 at DraftKings) to lead your Fantasy golf picks. The reigning BMW and FedEx Cup champion was as steady as ever in the final round, hitting pressure shots and making clutch putts to close out his eighth tour victory and help you cash in with your picks.
At the previous week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, the expert found excellent value in his selections. All of his steals of the week made the weekend and J.T. Poston ($7,300 at DraftKings) posted a top-20 finish. Gates hit even bigger on another steal at the Travelers, as he was all over Sahith Theegala ($7,300) before his runner-up finish there.
Gates has been on a roll all season. He NAILED the Open Championship, going with winner Cameron Smith among his outright winners despite many experts writing off the Australian. For the John Deere Classic, Gates was on 40-1 longshot Poston as a potential winner before his second tour win.Â
Anyone who followed Gates' advice has cashed in on their Fantasy golf picks.
Now, Gates has ranked his top players for the 2022 Tour Championship, and we can tell you the expert is strongly backing Rahm! The Spaniard was on fire over the weekend at the BMW, and now he comes to a course where he shared the low 72-hole score last year.
On the other hand, Gates is fading Cameron Smith, who won the British Open just over a month ago. The 29-year-old wants to be the first Australian to win the FedEx Cup, but Gates thinks his mind is elsewhere as rumors swirl about his defection to LIV Golf. Â
Instead, Gates is backing a MASSIVE sleeper for fantasy rosters who is priced at less than $7,000 at DraftKings and well over 60-1 to win (without strokes)Â at Caesars! A birdie binge at the BMW showed what this golfer is capable of, and he can come in with no pressure this week and pull off a SHOCKER! Gates will be banking on this golfer heavily in his Tour Championship Fantasy golf picks.Â
