2022 RBC Canadian Open prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions.

Tony Finau is a +250 favorite to win the RBC Canadian Open. Finua has two top 10 finishes in his last 4 tourneys. He has struggled in majors, but he has performed well in weaker fields.

Shane Lowry is the favourite to win the RBC Canadian Open. Adam Hadwin is a close second.

Adam Hadwin is an RBC-sponsored Canadian golfer. Had won the Canadian Open twice before (6th in 2019 and 7th in 2015). Had had 4 top-20 finishes in his last 7 events played.

Harold Varner III is a good value at +140. He had a meltdown on the back-9 in the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge and finished T27 at even par. Varter has played well this year with a 3rd at the RBC Heritage in April, 6th at The Players in March and a victory at PIF Saudi International on Asian Tour in February.

Tony Finau is the longest odds favorite for the RBC Canadian Open.

Brendon Todd is a better bet than Justin Rose at the Canadian Open. Thomas is the best golfer in the world and is slightly ahead of Scheffler on my custom stat model. Todd finished 3rd in May’s Charles Schwab Challenge and has a plus-0.69 SG vs. his personal baseline over the last 5 events. Rose has only a minus-1.63 SG over his last five stroke-play tournaments.

Shane Lowry is the only Irish golfer available in this market. McIlroy won the last Canadian Open in 2019. Lowry ranks ahead of McIroy in several key categories over the past 50 rounds. Lowry finished T2 at the 2019 RBC Canadian open.

Matthew Fitzpatrick missed the cut at last week's Memorial. Fitzpatrick's worst putting surface is Bent grass at St. George's. He gave up 7.6 strokes on the greens at the Memorial (Bent grass greens) and 3.3 strokes putting at April’s RBC Heritage.

There are 5 Par 3's at St. George's and none of them have water hazards. The second-easiest hole on the course is 6th hole, which is a 146-yard Par3. Six of the top-10 golfers by Par-3 scoring on PGA Tour are in the Canadian Open field. Tipico Sportsbook is trying to steer bettors towards the "No" option.
