The 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch will be the final stop before next week's PGA Championship. Scottie Scheffler is scheduled to make his first individual start since winning the Masters, and the No. 1 player in the world has now recorded four wins and seven top-10 finishes this season. However, he'll face stiff competition with superstars like Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth in the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson field.
Scheffler is the 9-1 favorite, while Thomas is just behind him at 10-1 in the latest 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Spieth made his PGA Tour debut in this event as a 16-year-old in 2010 and the Dallas native is still seeking a win. He's l18-1 along with Johnson and Sam Burns on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
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 $9,000 on its best bets since that point, nailing tournament after tournament.
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 Max Homa winning outright at the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 41-1 long shot.
This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the AT&T Byron Nelson 2022 field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson leaderboard.
The model's top 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson: Xander Schauffele, a five-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 10. The 28-year-old teamed up with Patrick Cantlay to win the Zurich Classic in April, the only team event on the PGA Tour.
However, Schauffele has struggled mightily in recent weeks, finishing T-35 or worse in three of his last five starts on the PGA Tour, which includes a pair of missed cuts. In addition, Schauffele has been extremely inconsistent with his putter all season, ranking 65th in strokes gained: putting (.215), 76th in overall putting average (1.590) and 85th in one-putt percentage (40.80%), which doesn't bode well for his chances to win this week. He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the AT&T Byron Nelson 2022 field.
Another surprise: Joaquin Niemann, a 22-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he is a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 23-year-old Chilean has ascended to No. 17 in the Official World Golf Ranking and captured his second career PGA Tour win earlier this season at the Genesis Invitational.
Niemann is ninth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained tee to green (1.368) and is top-40 in every major strokes gained category except putting. That ball-striking ability means that any week he can get the flat stick going, he has a shot to contend. TPC Craig Ranch is expected to play firm and fast with the wind drying the venue out, which should place a premium on tee-to-green play that will benefit Niemann immensely.
How to make 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 20-1 or higher who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it big. You can only see them here.
