Fortinet Championship 2022 picks, predictions, best bets, odds: Golf expert says avoid Corey Conners this week

Max Homa won the Fortinet Championship last year. Erik Barnes, Paul Haley II, Carl Yuan and Justin Suh are new PGA Tour members teeing off Thursday in Napa, California. Hideki Matsuyama, Rickie Fowler, Corey Conners and 2019 Fortetion winner Cameron Champ are also in the field. McDonald is a golf writer for CBS Sports. He has studied the 2022 Fortenti Championship field and has made his picks. He's sharing his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid.

McDonald is fading Corey Conners despite his status as one of the favorites. Homa displayed the all-around game to contend every week last season. He was second in the field in strokes gained tee-to-green and in top 20 in greens in regulation and strokes gain putting at the 2021 Fortinet.

Before this week's PGA Tour event in Napa, McDonald has locked in his best bets for the 2022 Fortinet Championship. Corey Conners is a longshot to win who is priced well into triple-digit odds.
