The 2022 Open Championship is set to take place at the famous St. Andrews Old Course in Scotland this week, with Rory McIlroy the betting favorite with most sportsbooks.
McIlroy has been one of the most impressive major golfers so far this season, with three Top-10 finishes in the three majors we've had so far.
Now, if you're looking to bet on the golf this week, you've come to the right place, with our predictive analytics model simulating this week's Open Championship 1000s of times to determine where the value lies in betting the outright winner, Top-5, Top-10 and Top-20 finishes.
As you can see below, our model is currently agreeing with the books when it comes to McIlroy, with Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele the next most likely winners.

2022 US Open Golf Betting Strategy
With a combination of the above projections and some huge offers from two of the biggest sportsbooks in the country, this is how we are betting on the golf this week.
Bet 1: Jon Rahm to Win (+1600)
First up we've got an outright play on one of this week's top projected chances, Jon Rahm.
When looking to bet on Rahm this week, a few things things stand out: his all-round game, Rahm's ability on links courses and his respect for the Old Course and winning an Open Championship here.
The Old Course holds a great list of winners who knew how to play smart golf whilst also being known to have little faults in their all-round game.
As well as his consistently strong game and ability to get hot with the putter, it's Rahm's quotes about fellow Spaniard Seve Ballesteros that show he has the knowledge and respect it takes to succeed at this course.
"1984 was very special for Spanish people. That image of Seve celebrating, it's an iconic image not only for us but for the world of golf."
“This is truly the pinnacle of golf. I don't think it gets any better than winning at St Andrews. No offense to any other tournament in the world. It's the oldest championship on the oldest course and where it all started."
For this bet on Rahm, we're going to use DraftKings Sportsbook, with $100 coming our way even if he loses!

Bet 2: Patrick Cantlay to Win (+2500)
After simulating the Open Championship 10,000 times, the man that stands out as value against BetMGM's odds is Patrick Cantlay.
Cantlay was our value pick at last week's Scottish Open as well, with the World Number 4 putting in a solid shift to finish T4 and just three shots off his best friend and eventual winner, Xander Schauffele.
After getting more accustomed to links golf in that tournament last week, we're feeling good about another good showing from Cantlay.
Although he is yet to win a major, he's proven his chops with wins against the best fields and should find himself in contention this week as another guy with no glaring weakness in his game.
To maximize your odds for this one, place a $10 bet with BetMGM and lock in $200 as soon as Cantlay (or any other player in the field) hits a birdie!
