The 2022 Wyndham Championship is set to get underway on Thursday, August 4, and a number of players will enter Sedgefield Country Club confident they can secure the victory. Webb Simpson has won seven tournaments on the PGA Tour and he's recorded a top-10 finish in each of his last five starts at the Wyndham Championship. Simpson enters the Wyndham Championship 2022 ranked 16th in putting average (1.731) and 36th in driving accuracy percentage.
Meanwhile, Will Zalatoris has secured eight top-10 finishes this season, which includes a runner-up showing at the U.S. Open and PGA Championship. According to the latest 2022 Wyndham Championship odds, Zalatoris and Shane Lowry are the 16-1 co-favorites. Simpson is next in line on the PGA odds board at 18-1, while long shots include Jason Day (45-1) and Rickie Fowler (100-1). Before locking in your 2022 Wyndham Championship picks, be sure to see the PGA Tour predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven golf model.
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 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 that the 2022 Wyndham Championship field is locked, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2022 Wyndham Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Wyndham Championship 2022: Webb Simpson (18-1), a seven-time PGA Tour winner and one of the Vegas favorites, falls short of winning it all and barely cracks the top five. You can understand Simpson's short odds as he won this tournament in 2011 and has finished no worse than seventh place in each of his last five starts at Sedgefield Country Club. However, it's Simpson's performance this year on tour which has the model skeptical.
The 2012 U.S. Open champion has just one top 10 this year, and he has more missed cuts (six) than top 25 finishes (four). Simpson will step onto Sedgefield in one of the worst runs of his career as his last three events have gone: missed cut, missed cut, 69th place. A big reason for his struggles has been his work on the greens, which used to be his strength as Simpson ranked in the top 25 in strokes gained: putting each of the last four years. However, he's dropped outside the top 100 this year, which bodes poorly for a course designed by the same architect that designed Detroit Golf Club, which is where Simpson finished 69th a week ago.
Another surprise: Adam Scott, a 30-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Scott has been selective about the PGA events that he has played in this summer, but he finished T-14 at the U.S. Open and followed that with a T-15 performance at the British Open.
Scott's odds took a dip after he finished outside of the top 30 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but he ended things in a tie with four other golfers for runner-up honors at last year's Wyndham Championship. When Scott has been at his best, it's started with his play on the greens. At the British Open, he averaged 1.36 strokes gained with his putts, and for the year, he ranks 35th in total putting (154.8). If he can continue putting well this week, he'll be sure to be in the mix at Sedgefield Country Club. See who else to pick here.
