PGA best bets for the WM Phoenix Open

The PGA tour heads to Arizona this week for the 2022 WM Phoenix Open as some of the best golfers in the world compete TPC Scottsdale.

The tournament, historically has been a strong event on tour with a loaded field including last year's winner Brooks Koepka and top ten players like Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland to name a few.

Which players are the favorites this time around? Who offers good odds? And what props are worthwhile?

Betting analysts Chris Fallica, Anita Marks and sports betting deputy editor David Bearman offer their best bets.

Anita's picks: to win (12-1); top-5 finish (+280); top=10 finish (+138)

Thomas has three top 5 finishes this season, two top 3s and two top 20s here the last four years. This is a track and a tourney that suits his game! His iron game was on point at the Farmers — gaining 1.3 shots on the greens — and that is an important metric this week.

Fallica's picks: to win (18-1), top-10 finish (+200)

It's his first event since November, as he had a lower back injury. But that doesn't worry me, as Louis has one of the sweetest swings on tour and has done very well here, finishing T-11 last year and third in 2017.

Bearman's picks: to win (18-1), top-10 finish (+200)

It would've been hard not to like Matsuyama here if he was coming in cold, but he is the only two-time winner so far this season and this is one of his favorite courses. Matsuyama is the all-time money leader at this event with over $3.3 million in career earnings, has back-to-back wins in 2016 and 2017, a runner up, a T-4 and two additional top 20s. His worst finish in Scottsdale (besides his injury withdrawal) was a T-42 last season.
