Southern Hills Country Club last hosted a major in 2007, and golfers such as Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler are hoping to lean on their precision iron play when the 2022 PGA Championship tees off Thursday. Rahm and Scheffler currently rank third or better on the PGA Tour in greens in regulation percentage and they’ll look to continue that trend at Southern Hills. They’re two of the 2022 PGA Championship contenders to watch as they battle a loaded 2022 PGA Championship field that also features big hitters like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris, all of whom rank in the top 15 in driving distance.

Caesars Sportsbook lists Rahm and Scheffler as the 11-1 co-favorites, with McIlroy (14-1), Thomas (14-1) and Collin Morikawa (16-1) next in line in the 2022 PGA Championship odds. Should you back the big hitters or bank on the precision players at the PGA Championship 2022? Before locking in any PGA Championship 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 $7,500 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 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 PGA Championship field and just revealed his top PGA Championship prop bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see McClure’s 2022 PGA Championship prop picks, sleepers head-to-head matchups bets, and his top one and done pick.

PGA Championship prop bets

McClure’s 2022 PGA Championship prop picks also includes Keegan Bradley finishing inside the top 20 as a sleeper at +370 odds. Bradley made a name for himself after winning the PGA Championship in 2011, outlasting Jason Dufner in a playoff.

Bradley will enter the 2022 PGA Championship full of confidence after securing a runner-up finish at the Wells Fargo Championship in his last start. In addition, Bradley has finished eighth or better in his last three starts on the PGA Tour. The four-time PGA Tour champion has five top-10 and seven top-25 finishes in 2021-22, so it’s easy to see why McClure has pinpointed value in Bradley this week at Southern Hills.

PGA Championship sleepers

One sleeper McClure is targeting this week at Southern Hills is Cameron Young, who is a massive 80-1 long shot at Caesars. In order to score well at Southern Hills, players will need to drain putts consistently, and few do it better than Young. In fact, the 25-year-old enters the second major of the year ranked ninth in one-putt percentage (44.22) and 10th in overall putting average (1.552). He also ranks sixth in birdie average (4.62) and ninth in scoring average (69.915), which has helped him finish third or better in his last two starts. With those impressive results, McClure sees huge value in backing Young as one of the 2022 PGA Championship sleepers.

PGA Championship one-and-done picks

One of McClure’s favorite 2022 PGA Championship one and done picks this week at Southern Hills is world No. 9 Justin Thomas. The 29-year-old won the 2017 PGA Championship and has long been considered one of the most talented players in the world. Thomas ranks third in strokes gained tee to green (1.682), fourth in total strokes gained (1.816), and fifth in strokes gained on approach (0.912). McClure likes his chances at making a strong run at taking home his second career major championship this week at the PGA Championship.

PGA Championship head-to-head matchup picks

McClure’s PGA Championship best bets also include Collin Morikawa (-110) over Jordan Spieth in a head-to-head betting matchup. Morikawa, the 2020 PGA Championship winner, is one of the most consistent golfers on tour and may be the best ball-striker in the world right now.

While Spieth is coming off two outstanding performances, a win at the RBC Heritage and a second-place finish last week at the AT&T Byron Nelson, McClure has noted that the 28-year-old has been battling inconsistency issues for most of the season. Both players may be in contention when Sunday rolls around, but McClure likes Morikawa, the No. 3 player in the world, to edge out Spieth on the final leaderboard.

McClure has also locked in a slew of other prop bets for the 2022 PGA Championship, including a long shot listed at 150-1 to win it all. Anyone who backs one of his 2022 PGA Championship sleepers could hit it big. You can only see his PGA Championship best bets here.
