Joaquin Niemann/h3>
  • 2022 Memorial Tournament Odds: +3,300

Although Chile’s Joaquin Niemann hasn’t had a top-10 finish in his last eight starts, there’s still a ton of potential for the 23-year-old to surprise at Muirfield this week. Niemann did win the Genesis Invitational (his second-career PGA TOUR victory) before that slump; a tournament that had an even scarier field of participants than this week’s tourney. Not only that, but the former top-ranked amateur golfer secured a T6 finish in his first appearance at the Memorial druing his debut PGA TOUR season in 2018.

Davis Riley

  • 2022 Memorial Tournament Odds: +4,000

Despite being two years the elder to Niemann, surging rookie Davis Riley is having himself quite a run of late in his maiden PGA TOUR campaign, with the product out of ‘Bama generating four top-five finishes and six top-15s over his last eight starts. Furthermore, Riley currently ranks 10th in the season with a 4.38 birdie average, as well as the most top-10 finishes amongst his fellow rookie golfing peers with six, to give him quite the body of work as a viable dark horse pick at the Memorial this week.

Mito Pereira

  • 2022 PGA Championship Odds: +4,000

Being a rookie hailing from Chile, Mito Pereira has something in common with both Niemann and Riley before him, and that’s not even counting his promising results this season. Pereira has four top-15 finishes in his last six starts, including a superb T3 finish in his first crack at the PGA Championship. The Santiago native also ranks fourth on the TOUR with a 70.77% greens-in-regulation percentage, and has made the second-most cuts made amongst all rookies with 15 to further emphasize his consistency in his maiden run in the big leagues.
