2022-23 RSM Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2022 RSM Classic, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

The 2022 RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the next event on the PGA Tour schedule, though it lacks a bit of star power following Tony Finau’s withdrawal on Tuesday afternoon. That news came after Finau won the Cadence Bank Houston Open last week.

Below, we look at the 2022 RSM Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Finau was the biggest name in the field and the betting favorite to win this week. Following his withdrawal, four players now lead the field as the favorites: Seamus Power, Brian Harman, Jason Day and Tom Hoge (all at +2000). Last year’s champion, Talor Gooch, will not be playing this week after he joined the LIV tour.

The Sea Island Resort has hosted this event since it joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2010. The pros will be playing 2 courses on the resort this week: Seaside and Plantation. They’re both very short courses — 7,005 for Seaside, 7,060 for Plantation. The Seaside course is a par 70, while the Plantation track is a par 72, so scoring opportunities will vary. The Seaside course is a links-style layout along the water with some great views of the Atlantic.

RSM Classic – 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 6:23 p.m. ET.

Keith Mitchell (+3000)

Coming off a T-9 at the Houston Open, Mitchell heads to a course where he’s had success, making him a perfect pick this week at +3000. He tied for 12th here last year and 14th in 2019 and has only missed the cut once in 5 appearances. He’s driving the ball accurately this season, too, ranking 14th in driving accuracy.

Tom Hoge (+2000)

Hoge missed the cut in his last start at Mayakoba, but in his previous 4 starts, he never finished outside the top-13 and had 2 top-10s. He has 2 top 10s and a top 25 in this event. Last year, he tied for 4th at Sea Island Resort.

RSM Classic picks – Contenders

Brendon Todd (+6000)

Todd doesn’t hit the ball very long but that won’t play much of a factor this week on 2 courses that are under 7,100 yards each. His best finish in this event was 4th in 2019 and he also tied for 16th in 2013.

Kevin Kisner (+5000)

Kisner has been a mixed bag at the RSM Classic. He’s missed the cut 2 of the last 3 years, but he sandwiched those MCs with a 2nd-place finish in 2020. He tied for 7th in 2018 and 4th in 2017, also winning the tournament in 2015. At +5000, I’ll take a chance on the clutch-putting Kiz.

RSM Classic picks – Long shot

Patton Kizzire (+10000)

After tying for 10th here in 2020, he missed the cut last year. That MC came after he made the cut 4 straight years in this event and already this season, he’s notched 1 top-10 finish 2 weeks ago at Mayakoba. He’s coincidentally another ‘Kiz’ who I like this week as a long-shot play in Georgia.

2022 RSM Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2022 RSM Classic with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

The PGA Tour is back on the East Coast this week for the 2022 RSM Classic, which is once again being played at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2022 RSM Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

It’s not an overly strong field teeing it up at Sea Island Resort this week, especially after Tony Finau announced his withdrawal from the RSM Classic on Tuesday. He was the highest-ranked player in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, coming in at No. 14. Brian Harman (23), Jason Day (58), Seamus Power (53) and Tom Hoge (83) are now tied as the favorites to win (+2000) this week.

The field will play 2 courses at Sea Island Resort this week: the Seaside Course and Plantation Course. They’re both under 7,100 yards, with Seaside being a par 70 and Plantation playing as a par 72. Distance off the tee won’t be much of a factor this week because of the shorter courses, which brings more of the field into play.

RSM Classic – Top-5 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 3:54 p.m. ET.

Tom Hoge (+550)

Hoge has a great track record in this event, highlighted by a tie for 4th last year. He’s playing well right now, too, coming into the RSM Classic with 4 top-13 finishes already this season. It’s reasonable to think he’ll finish in the top 5 again this week.

Keith Mitchell (+650)

Mitchell has made the cut 4 times in 5 appearances at this event, including a tie for 12th last year and a tie for 14th in 2019. He tied for 9th at last week’se Houston Open. A top-5 finish is never easy to call, but Mitchell has a chance in a weaker field, especially with Finau out.

RSM Classic – Top-10 picks

Mackenzie Hughes (+450)

I’m going back to the well with Hughes. He continued his strong start to the season with his 4th top-25 finish in as many starts by coming in 16th at the Houston Open last week. He won the RSM Classic in 2016 and finished alone in 2nd last year, so this is a good spot for him.

Taylor Pendrith (+450)

The Canadian hasn’t cracked the top 40 yet this season but the RSM Classic is a perfect time for him to get back on track. He tied for 26th in his debut in this event last year. Ranked 17th in strokes gained: off the tee this season, Pendrith just needs to dial in his irons and putter.

Jason Day (+280)

Day has only played this tournament twice, missing the cut last year but tying for 12th the year prior. He’s very quietly off to a fantastic start this season, making 4 of 5 cuts and coming in the top 25 four times. He tied for 16th at the Houston Open last week.

RSM Classic – Top-20 picks

Brendon Todd (+260)

Todd is short and straight off the tee, ranking 31st in driving accuracy and 213th in distance. That’s OK this week at the shorter courses at Sea Island Resort. It’s no coincidence he came in 4th here in 2019 and has made the cut 6 of 8 times. He already has 2 top-10s this season.

Kevin Kisner (+270)

Kisner came in 2nd at the RSM Classic in 2020 and has 3 other top-10s here since 2015, which is when he won it. In his only start this season at the CJ Cup, he tied for 72nd. But I’ll take a chance on him to crack the top 20 in this event again.

Patton Kizzire (+500)

Kizzire tied for 10th at Mayakoba 2 weeks ago and also tied for 10th at this event in 2020. He’s obviously a long shot to win this week, but at least he has some positive history at the RSM Classic.

RSM Classic – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Tom Hoge (-120) vs. Joel Dahmen (+100)

Dahmen is a good pick this week, too, but Hoge has a strong track record here and is playing well right now. The line is juiced in this matchup but Hoge is worth it.

Mackenzie Hughes (-110) vs. Matthew Nesmith (-110)

Hughes is on a heater right now and I’m going to ride it into this matchup against Nesmith, who is also playing well. Hughes also won this event back in 2016.

RSM Classic – Top American

Tom Hoge (+2000)

I’ve already laid out all the reasons I like Hoge this week, and he’s a good pick to be the top American in the field. Only Brian Harman (+1500) has shorter odds to be the top American.

Group C winner

Taylor Pendrith (+350)

This group consists of Patrick Rodgers (+330), Davis Riley (+330), Sahith Theegala (+330) and Wyndham Clark (+350), so there’s no clear favorite. It’ll be tough for any of these 5 players to win the whole thing, but Pendrith has a good chance in this group.

2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open final-round odds, golfers to watch

Analyzing the golf odds entering the final round to win the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course

Three rounds are in the book at the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open and only 1 golfer is within 4 strokes of the leader. Below, we look at the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open odds entering Sunday’s final round being played in Texas. Check back throughout the season for our PGA Tour picks, predictions and bets.

Tony Finau, who opened at +1500 to win, is at 15-under-par 195 and will take a 4-stroke lead into Sunday’s final round at Memorial Park Golf Course (7,412 yards, par 70). Finau is the No. 16 player in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.

Pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler (+550 before the opening round) is tied for 25th place at 3-under after rounds of 70-66-71. The Texas native, who finished 2nd last year, could have taken over as No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings with a win.

Defending champ Jason Kokrak, who shot 10-under 270 to win by 2 strokes over Scheffler, defected for LIV Golf and was not in this year’s field.

2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open – Final pairing

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 10:19 p.m. ET.

Tony Finau (-1205)

The 33-year-old native of Salt Lake City followed up his 65-62 start with a 68 in the 3rd round. Barring a collapse, he will win his 5th career PGA Tour title and 3rd since last July.

Ben Taylor (+900)

The 30-year-old pro, who opened at +30000 to win, shot a 5-under 65 to go with a 66-68 and starts 4 shots behind Finau in his quest for his 1st career title. The No. 150 player in Golfweek’s rankings has just 3 top-25 finishes in 44 career tour starts.

2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

The PGA Tour is in Texas this week for the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open, which is being played at Memorial Park Golf Course for the 3rd straight year. The 1st round tees off on Thursday morning in Houston.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite this week (+550) after finishing 2nd in the Houston Open last year. Tony Finau (+1500) and Sam Burns (+1200) are also among the favorites to finish atop the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon.

Memorial Park Golf Course is a somewhat longer track for a par 70 at 7,412 yards, featuring Bermuda greens with closely mown areas around them, making accuracy from the fairways and rough essential.

Cadence Bank Houston Open – Top-5 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 3:17 p.m. ET.

Sam Burns (+330)

Burns must love this course because he tied for 7th in each of the last 2 years. Coincidentally, he tied for 7th in his last start this season, too, which came at the CJ Cup. In his only other start this season, he tied for 30th.

Hideki Matsuyama (+600)

Matsuyama tied for 2nd in his only start at this event 2 years ago, finishing 11-under after the 4 rounds at Memorial Park. I like his fit on this course with his ball striking, particularly into the greens.

Maverick McNealy (+480)

There are few people playing better than McNealy right now. He’s cracked the top-20 in each of his last 4 starts, including 2 top-10s. That’s on par with his T-20 and T-19 finishes at this event the last 2 years, as well.

Other T5 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

  • Sahith Theegala (+900)

Claim your risk-free bet up to $350. Catch the excitement and start betting with Tipico Sportsbook! New customer offer in CO and NJ. 21+, see Tipico.com for Terms and Conditions. Bet now!

Cadence Bank Houston Open – Top-10 picks

Mackenzie Hughes (+600)

Hughes already has a win this season and is now playing a course that he’s had success on before. In the last 2 years, he tied for 29th and 7th at the Houston Open. Additionally, he has 2 top-25s this season to go along with his win.

Sepp Straka (+700)

Straka tied for 5th at the Houston Open in 2020 and finished 2nd in the Sanderson Farms Championship last month. He’s obviously a long shot at +700, but worth a bet.

Russell Henley (+260)

Henley is coming off a win in Mexico last week and now heads to an event where he tied for 7th a year ago. He’s an elite iron player, which will be a key factor this week and makes him one of the favorites to win.

Other T10 contenders (in order from longest odds to shortest):

  • Tony Finau (+185)

Cadence Bank Houston Open – Top-20 picks

Adam Long (+330)

In his last 2 starts at the Houston Open, he tied for 11th. Though he will need to strike the ball better off the tee and into the greens, his putting more than makes up for any other deficiencies. He’s 2nd on tour in strokes gained: putting in 2022.

Aaron Wise (+105)

Wise tied for 26th and 11th at this event the last 2 years. In his 2 most recent starts this season, Wise finished 6th and tied for 15th. He’s poised to win his 2nd career PGA Tour event this year and Houston would be a perfect time for that.

Cadence Bank Houston Open – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

  • Sahith Theegala (-120) vs. Emiliano Grillo (+100)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (-110) vs. Tony Finau (-110)

There aren’t a lot of matchups I like this week, especially because Burns is matched up with Scheffler and McNealy is pitted against Wise. All four of them are good candidates to win so picking one against the other is tough.

I’ll take Theegala against Grillo, though. Theegala can be up-and-down, which is kind of the opposite of the consistent Grillo (0 missed cuts this season), but Theegala is a good fit here.

Matsuyama is another pick I like against Finau for all the reasons listed above in my top-5 writeup.

Cadence Bank Houston Open – Top American

Sam Burns (+900)

Burns is a really good value at +900 in a field that’s filled with talented Americans, led by Scheffler. He’s off to a good start this season and has already had some success at Memorial Park the last 2 years, tying for 7th both times.

Cadence Bank Houston Open – First-round leader

Maverick McNealy (+3000)

McNealy has 3 straight top-20 finishes here and ranks 31st in 1st-round scoring average this season. It’s always tough to predict the 1st-round leader but McNealy is a good pick beyond the top favorites.

More expert prop bet predictions

Group A winner: Hideki Matsuyama (+500)

Group A is comprised of the top favorites, as usual. Scheffler (+162) is the favorite, followed by Burns (+300), Wise (+450), Matsuyama and Tony Finau (+550). Though I think all 5 have a chance to win this week, I’ll go with Matsuyama.

2022-23 Cadence Bank Houston Open odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

The PGA Tour is back in the U.S. this week following the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, heading to Texas for the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open. Memorial Park Golf Course will host this event for the 3rd straight year after it moved back there in 2020.

Below, we look at the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The field this week is led by Scottie Scheffler, who’s in his home state of Texas. Tony Finau, Sam Burns, Aaron Wise and Jason Day are all teeing it up in Houston. The last 2 winners, Carlos Ortiz and Jason Kokrak, are not in the field this time around.

Memorial Park Golf Course is a local municipal course that plays at 7,412 yards and is a par 70. The course was remodeled when the Houston Open returned in 2020; it had previously been played there from 1951-63. There are only 3 par 5s, so players will need to take advantage of those scoring opportunities.

Cadence Bank Houston Open – 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 10:21 a.m. ET.

Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)

Matsuyama has only played this event once, but he came close to winning. That was in 2020 when he tied for 2nd before taking last year off. He hasn’t had the best results this season, finishing between T-25 and T-40 in 3 starts, but this is a good week for him to get back on track and potentially win his 9th PGA Tour title.

Sahith Theegala (+4000)

Theegala has been hot and cold so far this season, with 2 top-10s, a missed cut and a T-67 finish. He has the game and talent to win on the PGA Tour and though he’s only played in Houston once, he comes in playing well so far this season. Statistically, he doesn’t rank very highly in strokes gained (119th), but I like his chances here.

Cadence Bank Houston Open picks – Contenders

Mackenzie Hughes (+6000)

Hughes tied for 29th here last year and for 7th in 2020, showing he’s a good fit at this course. He’s also off to a fantastic start this season, winning once and finishing in the top 25 in all 3 of his starts so far. He ranks 15th in strokes gained: putting and 8th in total strokes gained.

Sepp Straka (+7000)

Straka finished alone in 2nd place in his 1st start this season at the Sanderson Farms Championship, but has gone T-45, T-62 and MC in his 3 starts since. He missed the cut here  last year, but tied for 5th in 2020 at this course.

Cadence Bank Houston Open picks – Long shot

Adam Long (+9000)

Long is a good long shot this week, no pun intended. He’s tied for 11th in the Houston Open in each of the last 2 years and made the cut in 3 straight starts before missing it last week in Mayakoba. His putting will keep him in it this week, ranking 2nd on tour in strokes gained on the greens.

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:13 p.m. ET.

Collin Morikawa (+400)

Morikawa is a good value at +400, especially if he can get his putter going. Though he hasn’t finished better than T-29 in his 2 starts so far this season, I expect him to contend at Mayakoba where distance isn’t a huge factor.

Maverick McNealy (+480)

McNealy tied for 11th and 12th in his last 2 starts at this event and also has a T-26 in his only other appearance here. He’s playing some of his best golf right now, too, with 3 top-20 finishes and 1 top-10.

Brendon Todd (+900)

Todd feels like a steal at +900 given his history in this event. In the last 3 years, he’s won it once and finished in the top 11 two other times. I’ll take a shot on him to crack the top 5 again this week at that number, even with some big names in the field.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – Top-10 picks

Viktor Hovland (+135)

Hovland has won this event the last 2 years and is going for his 3rd straight title on a course that seems to fit his game well. Oddly, he missed the cut in his first 2 starts at this tournament before breaking through with 2 wins, and I’ll take him to contend again.

Seamus Power (+480)

Power won the Butterfield Bermuda Championship last week, which was his 1st top-20 of the season. He tied for 11th at this event last year so the combination of his course history and recent play gives me confidence he’ll be near the top on Sunday.

Adam Long (+600)

Long has tied for 2nd, 3rd and 22nd at this tournament in the last 3 years and is among the best putters on tour this season – though it is early. He ranks 2nd in strokes gained putting so far, which gives him a chance to contend this week at Mayakoba.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – Top-20 picks

Hayden Buckley (+240)

Buckley is off to a great start this season, making the cut 3 of 4 times and finishing in the top 20 three times. He tied for 5th at the ZOZO Championship, which was his most recent start, so he’s coming in hot.

Brendon Todd (+175)

For all the reasons listed above, I’m looking at Todd to finish in the top 20, too. It’s much safer than a top-5 wager and comes with less reward, but he’s finished in the top-11 in each of the last three years.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

  • Maverick McNealy (-110) vs. Taylor Montgomery (-110)
  • Viktor Hovland (+100) vs. Scottie Scheffler (-120)

McNealy and Hovland both all good picks this week, especially in the matchup department. McNealy is playing some great golf right now, and while Montgomery is doing the same, McNealy has the course history compared to Montgomery, who’s making his debut.

Scheffler really struggled with his putter en route to a T-45 at the CJ Cup and ranks 190th in strokes gained: putting after one start. Hovland at even money is a nice value.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – Top American

Collin Morikawa (+1200)

Morikawa is tied with Billy Horschel and Aaron Wise for the third-best odds in this category. Scheffler and Tony Finau have better odds at +600 and +1000, respectively, but I like Morikawa’s chances.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – First-round leader

Justin Lower (+8000)

Lower ranks 11th on tour in 1st-round scoring so far this season, and he’s coming off a T-8 at the Bermuda Championship after already posting a T-4 at the Fortinet Championship.

2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

The PGA Tour is in Mexico this week for the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. It’s a strong field teeing it up at El Camaleón Golf Course, led by Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland and Tony Finau.

Below, we look at the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Scheffler is the highest-ranked player in the field this week in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, coming in at No. 4. Hovland, the 2-time defending champion in this event, is the next-closest at 11th. Hovland is a premier ball-striker, which will be critical this week, too.

El Camaleón Golf Course is a par 71 and will play at 7,034 yards this week. The greens are large, which makes 3-putt avoidance an important stat.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba – Expert pick

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 7:23 p.m. ET.

Collin Morikawa (+2000)

Morikawa somehow has the same odds as Tom Hoge, Aaron Wise and Billy Horschel. No disrespect to any of those players, but Morikawa should have shorter odds than them. He’s an excellent iron player and has improved as a putter in recent years, though he has struggled in 2 starts this season.

I still like his chances despite it being his debut in this event. His ball striking will be fine if windy conditions come up, too.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba picks – Contenders

Brendon Todd (+5000)

Todd has played in this event each of the last 3 years and has a win, a T-8 and a T-11 to show for it. He’s gotten off to a fantastic start this season already, posting 2 top-10s in 4 starts.

At a tournament he’s won before, Todd is a great value at +5000. His lack of length shouldn’t be too big a problem.

Justin Lower (+7000)

Lower is making his tournament debut and comes in playing well. He tied for 8th last week in Bermuda, his 2nd top-10 of the season. He also has a T-20 this year. He ranks 23rd in total strokes gained this season and 30th on the greens putting, turning impressive stats into solid finishes on the leaderboard.

Adam Long (+7000)

In the last 3 years, Long has gone T-2, T-3 and T-22 in this event, so he’s come close to winning it before. He missed the cut in his 1st start this season, but bounced back with a T-30 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He ranks 2nd on tour in strokes gained: putting this season but his ball striking will need to be better.

World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba picks – Long shot

Russell Knox (+10000)

Knox faded on the weekend in Bermuda after shooting 66 and 67 in the 1st 2 rounds, but he was in contention nonetheless. He’s played this tournament 9 times since 2012 and last year was the 1st time he missed the cut. I’ll bet on that sort of consistency at +10000.

2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

The PGA Tour is in Bermuda this week for the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the 6th event on the 2022-23 schedule. Port Royal Golf Course will once again host the Bermuda Championship, which has a weaker field than last week’s CJ Cup.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Denny McCarthy is the betting favorite (+1500) this week, with Thomas Detry (+2000) and Adrian Meronk (+2000) also among the top contenders. Last year’s champion Lucas Herbert is not in the field.

Port Royal is a par 71 and is just 6,828 yards long, so it’s not a track that requires much length. Instead, players will be required to navigate high winds and hit accurate approaches into these greens.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – Top-5 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 2:06  p.m. ET.

Russell Knox (+650)

Knox has 3 top-20 finishes in 3 starts in this event, but he’s never cracked the top 10. This is the year I think he does that and also finishes in the top 5. He’s very comfortable playing in windy conditions, which is critical in this tournament.

Justin Lower (+600)

Lower started his year with a T-4 at the Fortinet Championship and was T-20 in the Shriners Children’s Open, so he’s playing well right now and comes to a tournament where he tied for 17th a year ago.

Patrick Rodgers (+650)

Rodgers finished alone in 4th place last year and has made the cut in 3 starts already this season, including a T-16 at the ZOZO Championship.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – Top-10 picks

Brice Garnett (+700)

Garnett has teed it up here once before, tying for 21st in 2020. He’s made the cut in each of his first 2 starts this season and ranks 11th on tour in strokes gained: putting.

Peter Malnati (+600)

Malnati has 2 top-25 finishes in this event, including a T-7 last year. He has 2 top-25s so far this season, too, and he’s someone I like to contend on Sunday.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – Top-20 picks

Hank Lebioda (+380)

In 3 starts in Bermuda, Lebioda has 2 a T-16 and T-3. He missed the cut in his only start so far this season, but should get back on track at a course he’s had success on before.

Aaron Rai (+140)

Rai’s best finish this season was a T-20 at Shriners. He’s only played the Bermuda Championship once before and he tied for 62nd in that start, but this is a course that should suit his game; he ranks 34th in strokes gained: approach.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

  • Nick Hardy (+105) vs. Mark Hubbard (-125)
  • Russell Knox (+100) vs. Alex Smalley (-120)
  • Justin Lower (-125) vs. Robby Shelton (+105)

Hardy is surprisingly the underdog in this matchup, but I’ll gladly take him to beat Hubbard despite his lack of experience and success on this course.

Knox is a player I really like this week so getting him at even money is a bargain against Smalley.

Lower is a bigger favorite in terms of head-to-head matchups, but he’s worth it against Shelton, who missed the cut in his only start in this tournament 3 years ago.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – Top European

Russell Knox (+750)

Knox will be competing with Detry (+480), Seamus Power (+600), Meronk (+600) and Rai (+650) as the top Europeans in the field. Knox’s past success on this course makes him a good pick in my mind, especially at +750.

Bermuda Butterfield Championship – 1st-round leader

Thomas Detry (+4000)

Detry is tied for the 2nd-best 1st-round scoring average on tour early in the season. Pair that with his previous T-22 finish here and he’s worth a small wager to lead after Round 1 this week.
