With the PGA Tour's third major on the horizon, several big name golfers will be looking to fine tune their games at the 2022 RBC Canadian Open this week at St. George's Golf and Country Club in Toronto, Ontario. The tournament made its way back onto the PGA Tour Schedule after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rory McIlroy enters this week as the defending tournament champion after winning the 2019 Canadian Open by seven strokes. The 2022 RBC Canadian Open field also features Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas. Scheffler is the 8-1 betting favorite in the latest RBC Canadian Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Other Canadian Open top contenders include McIlroy (9-1), Thomas (9-1), Sam Burns (12-1), and Cameron Smith (12-1).
Which players should you target when building your RBC Canadian Open prop bet betting strategy? And which sleepers should you target for a potentially huge payday? Before locking in any RBC Canadian Open 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, it's up over $9,500 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model included Justin Thomas in its best bets to win the 2022 PGA Championship. That bet hit at +1600, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned almost $800. 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 long shot. 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 RBC Canadian Open (see tickets at StubHub) field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see McClure's 2022 Charles Schwab prop picks, sleepers, head-to-head matchups, best bets, and his top one and done pick.
RBC Canadian Open prop bets
One of McClure's favorite RBC Canadian Open prop bets is Scottie Scheffler finishing inside the top 10 of the final leaderboard at +110 odds. Scheffler has been on an absolute tear in 2022, notching four wins, including his first major championship, while climbing to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
While this event may simply be a final tuneup for Scheffler ahead of next week's U.S. Open at The Country Club of Brookline, there is simply no denying that he's head and shoulders better than most of the Canadian Open field. Scheffler ranks among the best on the PGA Tour in every major strokes gained category, and McClure expects him to be at the top of his game as he looks to rebound from a highly disappointing missed cut at the PGA Championship.
RBC Canadian Open one-and-done picks
One of McClure's favorite 2022 RBC Canadian Open one and done picks this week is Canada native Corey Conners. The 30-year-old's lone PGA Tour victory came at the 2019 Valero Texas Open, but this tournament in his home country has special meaning for him. With the exception of a missed cut at the PGA Championship Conners, the No. 31 player in the world, has been playing excellent golf over the past two months, and he places extra importance on this specific event due to his personal ties to the area and course. In a loaded field, McClure thinks Spieth could fly under the radar offering huge value this week in Ontario.
RBC Canadian Open head-to-head matchup picks
One of McClure's favorite bets this week is Tyrrell Hatton over Sam Burns in a head-to-head golf betting matchup at +100 odds. Hatton is coming a strong performance at the PGA Championship where he finished tied for 13th, and he has six top-25 finishes in 2022.
Hatton is one of the best putters in the world, ranking second on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting (0.991). He also ranks high in total strokes gained (14th) and putting averaged (fifth). McClure sees huge value in taking arguably the best putter in the RBC Canadian Open field over Burns this week in Ontario.
