The PGA Tour rolls through Orlando, Florida this week with the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational set to tee off on Thursday, Mar. 1 at Bay Hill Golf Course. The Arnold Palmer Invitational field will feature five of the world's top 10 golfers, including world No. 1 Jon Rahm. Defending API champion Bryson DeChambeau will not play this week due to hand and hip injuries. Rahm is the 17-2 betting favorite in the latest Arnold Palmer Invitational odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders include Rory McIlroy (12-1), Scottie Scheffler (16-1), Viktor Hovland (16-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (25-1). If those odds don't intrigue you, head-to-head golf betting may be the way to go. 

Head-to-head golf betting is growing in popularity and allows fans to bet on single round or full tournament golfer matchups. SportsLine's PGA expert, Mike McClure, has analyzed the field and just used his proven golf model to simulate the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

SportsLine's proprietary model, built by McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed play in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $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.

At the Sony Open in 2022, McClure's model listed Hideki Matsuyama among the top contenders. The reigning Masters champion went out and overcame a five-stroke deficit on the back nine of the final round to notch his eighth career PGA Tour victory.

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

Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational and just revealed his optimal head to head golf betting picks. They are a must-see for any player looking for an edge in their Arnold Palmer golf betting strategy.

We can tell you that one of McClure's favorite Arnold Palmer Invitational head-to-head picks is Viktor Hovland (-118) over Scottie Scheffler. Hovland, the No. 4 ranked player in the Official World Golf rankings, has been on a tear since last November taking home outright wins at the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and the Hero World Challenge. In his most recent outing at the Genesis Invitational, Hovland finished T-4. McClure is leaning on Hovland's distance off the tee and his elite approach shot ability, when shaping his head-to-head bets for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.  

McClure is also targeting two additional head-to-head bets that offer huge value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see them it is before locking in any head-to-head picks of your own.
