The Tour Championship 2022 is set to tee off on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. The event serves as the third and final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs 2022, and will feature the same unique scoring system that has been used in past years, which gives a snoticeable advantage to the golfers currently sitting atop the FedEx Cup standings. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will begin the tournament in the lead at 10 under par, and is listed as the +240 betting favorite (with starting strokes included) in the latest Tour Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Patrick Cantlay will begin at 8 under and is listed at 7-2 to win the FedEx Cup. Other top contenders in the Tour Championship field include Xander Schauffele (11-2), Rory McIlroy (9-1), Jon Rahm (14-1), Tony Finau (18-1). Will Zalatoris was penciled in to begin at 7 under par, but withdrew from the even due to a back injury.
Which players should you target when building your Tour Championship prop bet betting strategy? And which sleepers should you target for a potentially huge payday? Before locking in any Tour Championship 2022 picks of your own, be sure to check out the PGA predictions and betting advice from SportsLine golf expert Mike McClure.
SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model included J.T. Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure's model was all over Scottie Scheffler's first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 longshot. The model was also 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.
This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 Tour Championship field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see all of McClure's 2022 Tour Championship prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups, best bets, and his top one and done pick.
Top 2022 Tour Championship prop picks
One of McClure's favorite prop bets this week for the Tour Championship world No. 7 Justin Thomas finishing in the top-five of the final leaderboard (with starting strokes included) at +225 odds. Thomas won the 2022 PGA Championship in a thrilling come from behind performance and may be the best irons player in the world today.
Thomas ranks third on the PGA Tour in strokes gained tee to green (1.618), sixth strokes gained on approach (0.736), seventh in total strokes gained (1.699), and 16th in strokes gained off the tee (0.531). If the 29-year-old is accurate off the tee this week, he will likely be in contention on Sunday afternoon, despite starting the tournament seven strokes off the lead. See who else to pick here.
2022 Tour Championship head-to-head matchup picks
Another bet McClure will be backing this week is Patrick Cantlay over Scottie Scheffler in head-to-head golf betting at +125 odds. McClure knows Cantlay is one of the hottest players on the planet right now, and the opportunity to get him at plus money is too much to pass up, even if it means betting against the No. 1 player in the world in Scheffler.
Cantlay is coming off a win at last week's BMW Championship, and has four top-10 finishes in his last five starts. If the reigning FedEx Cup champion stays hot, he will have an excellent chance at leaving East Lake with the $18 million grand prize.
