Which pair among the top three favorites deserves the longest look to win the 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans?
Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland are deserving +800 favorites. Morikawa finished twenty-sixth at the RBC Heritage. But Collin shot a 68 and 69 to end the tournament. His swing appear to be rounding back into form. Before the Valspar Championship and the Masters, Hovland had played great. His form took a downward turn starting with the Valspar. Viktor hasn’t played since the Masters. So, he should be back to his best swing.
Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay should be a tough duo. So should Ryan Palmer and Masters winner Scott Scheffler. But Schauffele and Palmer have missed the cut in two of their last three tournaments played. Also, before winning the masters, Scheffler finished fifty-fifth at The Players.
The final low-odds pairing, Marc Leishman and Adam Scott, are worth a look. The odds, though, aren’t high enough to make the pair a better play than Morikawa and Hovland.
Which two teams between odds of +1600 to +4000 can take this weekend’s PGA Tournament?
The Zurich Classic Of New Orleans’ unique format makes it difficult to assess odds on any pair. But one thing is for sure, +1600 on Tommy Fleetwood and Sergio Garcia makes the pairing an underlay.
So if you’re looking to bet on a pair outside the top odds choices, go for a pair that offers at least +3300. The pairing that looks best at odds of +3300 to +4000 is Tyler Hatton and Danny Willett.
Hatton finished twenty-sixth at the RBC Heritage this past weekend. Willett finished fifty-first. But at the Masters, Willett finished twelfth. So if you’re looking for a pairing that makes some sense and offers decent odds, Hatton / Willett is a good duo to consider.
What team offering +5000 odds has a great shot of winning the 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans?
Christiaan Bezuidenhout didn’t play a great Masters Tournament. But the 27-year-old South African played well at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Honda Classic. Schwartzel finished tied tenth at the Masters. He didn’t hit the ball well at the RBC Heritage.
But the odds on the South African pairing makes them worth a look. Don’t be surprised if both Bezuidenhout and Schwartzel pick it up in New Orleans this weekend. Give theSouth African duo a shot.
