The Match 2022 odds, predictions, bets: Proven golf expert reveals picks for Woods, McIlroy vs. Spieth, Thomas

The Match VII is taking place on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET at Pelican Golf Club in the Tampa area. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will play Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. The Match 7 is the first of its kind to take place in primetime. SportsLine's proven golf expert Mike McClure has made his picks for The match. His model has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. It's up over $9,500 on its best bets since then.

The Thomas/Spieth team is the betting favorite in The Match VII. Rory McIlroy is world No. 1 and has won back-to-back PGA Tour events. Neither Spieth nor Thomas has finished better than 40th at any full-field Pga Tour tournament this season. The format is different than a typical PGolf Tour event. Woods has played in this event twice before.

Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas are going to play in The Match 7. They have a lot of experience playing together. Spielh and Thomas have played together at the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. They also played as a team in the 2021 Ryder and 2018 Ryder Cups.

McClure has scoured The Match VII odds board and found a critical x-factor that has him jumping all over one side.
