The 2022-23 PGA Tour schedule rolls on this week as the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship tees off from Jackson Country Club on Thursday, Sept. 29. The Sanderson Farms Championship 2022 features a great mix of proven champions and budding superstars eager to make their mark on the PGA Tour. Sam Burns, who’s riding high after making his debut for Team USA at the Presidents Cup, is the defending champion and he’s expected to be in the mix again this week.
Burns is listed as the 11-1 favorite to repeat according to the latest 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship odds. He’s followed by J.T. Poston (16-1), Denny McCarthy (18-1), Sahith Theegala (20-1) and Russell Henley (22-1) on the PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2022 Sanderson Farms 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 Sanderson Farms 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 Sanderson Farms Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship: Denny McCarthy, one of the top favorites at 18-1, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top-five. McCarthy is coming off an impressive season on the PGA Tour, recording five top-10 finishes, which includes a T-7 showing at the U.S. Open in June. However, the 29-year-old struggled down the stretch, missing the cut in three of his last six events.
In addition, McCarthy was extremely inconsistent with his approach shots last season, ranking 131st in greens in regulation percentage (65.33%) and strokes gained: approach the green (-.059), 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 Sanderson Farms Championship 2022 field.
Another surprise: Keegan Bradley, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. Bradley has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Bradley certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 36-year-old veteran has four career victories on the PGA Tour and he secured six top-10 finishes last season, which included a fifth-place showing at the Players Championship.
In addition, Bradley finished last season ranked inside the top-25 in a number of important statistical categories, including strokes gained: off-the-tee (.433), strokes gained: tee-to-green (.986) and strokes gained: total (1.053). If he’s striking the ball well this week, he’ll have a great shot at finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship. See who else to pick here.
