Players Championship 2022 head-to-head matchups, PGA golf picks: DFS pro says pick Patrick Cantlay over Rory McIlroy
The PGA Tour continues its Florida swing this week with the 2022 Players Championship set to tee off on Thursday, Mar. 10 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.. The Players Championship field will feature 47 of the world's top 50 golfers, including world No. 1 Jon Rahm. Defending Players champion Justin Thomas will be back to defend his title. Rahm, Thomas, and Morikawa are the 14-1 betting favorite in the latest Players Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other top contenders include Rory McIlroy (20-1), Viktor Hovland (20-1) and Patrick Cantlay (22-1). If those odds don't intrigue you, head-to-head golf betting may be the way to go.Â
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 Players Championship golf betting strategy.
We can tell you that one of McClure's favorite Players Championship head-to-head picks is Patrick Cantlay (-110) over Rory McIlroy. Cantlay, the No. 4 ranked player in the Official World Golf rankings, has been on a tear in 2022, notching top-10 finishes in four of his five tournaments. His most recent outing at The Genesis Invitational resulted in a T-33, but prior to that at the Waste Management Phoenix Open he finished in sole possession of second place. McClure is leaning on Cantlay's recent form and well-rounded game when constructing his head-to-head bets for the 2022 Players Championship.
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.
