The last PGA Tour event of the calendar year is a team event, the 2022 QBE Shootout, in Naples, Fla., at the Tiburón Golf Club’s Gold Course. There are no FedExCup points awarded at this tournament, but there is a purse of $3.8 million.
Below, we look at the 2022 QBE Shootout odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
The QBE Shootout pits teams of 2 against each other for 3 rounds instead of the traditional 4 rounds. There are 3 different formats across the 3 rounds: scramble on Friday, modified alternate shot on Saturday and four-ball on Sunday.
There are only 12 teams in the field this week, including two mixed teams for the first time ever. Nelly Korda is paired with Denny McCarthy and Lexi Thompson will play with Maverick McNealy. Among the other marquee teams are Max Homa and Kevin Kisner, Jason Day and Billy Horschel, and Steve Stricker and Cameron Young.
This is the 22nd time the QBE Shootout will be played at Tiburon Golf Club, so there will be familiarity for those who have teed it up in this event before. This course is a par 72 and will play at 7,382 yards.

QBE Shootout – Expert picks
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 1:26 p.m. ET.
Jason Day/Billy Horschel (+480)
Day and Horschel are the betting favorites to win and it’s easy to see why. Horschel loves team events and he gets to play this 1 in his home state of Florida alongside Day, who’s played really well this season with 4 top-21 finishes in 6 starts.
Max Homa/Kevin Kisner (+650)
Putting is a huge part of team events because these teams are all going to hit a lot of greens in the scramble format, but it’ll come down to who makes puts. Homa was clutch at the Presidents Cup and Kisner is known as an excellent putter, so I like their chances this week.

QBE Shootout picks – Contender
Steve Stricker/Cameron Young (+1000)
Young will try to overpower the course with his length, which will help Stricker – who hasn’t played a PGA Tour event since 2021 – in the scramble and alternate shot formats. If Stricker can make some putts and Young shows some accuracy off the tee, they’ll have a shot despite not being among the favorites.
