2022 Mexico Open odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions from golf model that's nailed 8 majors
According to the latest 2022 Mexico Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook, Riley is listed as a 50-1 long shot to finish on top of the leaderboard. Rahm is the 5- 1 favorite, followed by Abraham Ancer (20-2), Tony Finau (22-3), Gary Woodland (25-5), Kevin Na ( 25-6), Patrick Reed (5-10), and Scottie Scheffler (10-11). SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. It's up almost $7,500 on its best bets since that point.
Jon Rahm is the only player in the 2022 Mexico Open field who hasn't won a PGA Tour event this season. Davis Riley is looking for his first win. SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times and its model picked Riley as a 50-1 long shot. It has also nailed eight majors this year. The Mexico 2018 winner is Patrick Reed. It also picked Collin Morikawa as the winner at the 2021 Open Championship.
The model is predicting that Rory Reed doesn't win the Mexico Open 2022. Cameron Tringale, a 35-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. Tredale is ranked inside the top-50 in putting, putting average and 3-putt avoidance. He also ranks 19th in greens in regulation percentage and 31st in total birdies.
The model is also targeting four other golfers with odds of 35-1 or higher who will make surprising runs at the 2022 Mexico Open.
