The final major season of the PGA Tour’s deck has begun, and most of the world’s best players will be making final preparations this week for the 2022 Scottish Open. The Open will take place at the old stadium in St Andrews next week, but first is to test the modern ties at Renaissance Club in North Berwick. The tournament was approved by the PGA and European Tours, which brought in the best field in the event’s history. It features 14 of the world’s top 15 golfers led by top seed Scotty Scheffler, former number one John Ram and British Open champion Colin Morikawa. Caesars Sportsbook lists Ram as the 11-1 favourite at last odds for the 2022 Scottish Championship, and Thomas and Schaeffler absolutely shine at 12-1.
Fitzpatrick and Xander Shaveli are both 18-1, followed by Patrick Cantlay (22-1), Cameron Smith (25-1) and Morikawa (25-1). Can Ram continue what appears to be a resurgence and be the key anchor for the Scottish Golf Open’s Imagine 2022? Or is a young player like Sam Burns (28-1), with obvious talent and little experience in ties, worth the bet? Before assigning any Fantasy Golf formations or making any selections at the 2022 Scottish Open, Be sure to check out Fantasy Golf offers from SportsLine expert Riley Gates.
Gates is a writer at 247Sports and has covered a range of sports for nearly five years. He has followed golf closely for longer and has a deep knowledge of the sport. He also knows what it takes to win, both on the track and in fantasy sports.
Gates has been crushing golf picks all season. Last week’s John Deere Classic nailed a 40-1 long-shot GT Boston as a potential winner. “Poston has been sniffing at the win in recent months,” Gates said. “With those odds, I think it’s only fair to give Poston a little bit of light to take the win.”
The 29-year-old went on under TPC Deere Run to claim a three-stroke win, his second on the PGA Tour and first in nearly three years. It also finished Gates’ top three fiction broadcasters in the top 16, two of them in the top ten.
At the Travelers, he was all over Sahith Thigala, who had a price tag of just $7,300 in the Draft King and finished in second place helping several fantasy golfers get paid. , including his oldest deputy, Brendan Steele – just $6,600 at DraftKings – who scored in the top 10.
And at Wells Fargo, four of his top six players finished in the top five, including winner Max Homa, with a 40-1 long shot. Anyone who followed Gates is elusive.
Now, Gates has ranked the best golfers at the 2022 Scottish Open, and you’ll really want to know what he has to say. You can only see his fantasy golf rankings and the Scottish Open picks at SportsLine.
Expert Picks for Scottish Golf Fantasy Open 2022
One of the players that Gates is strongly supporting in this week’s tournament in Scotland is Burns, although he looked like he hit some speed. The 25-year-old has racked up three wins and eight top ten spots this season and is second in the FedEx Cup standings. Burns missed the Travelers’ cut to follow the T-27 at the US Open, but had been in the top five at both events prior to that, including his win at Charles Schwab. His status (12th in strokes) and iron play (14th in the Greens in regulation) can go anywhere, and Gates expects Burns to get hot again.
On the other hand, Gates shockingly fades Morikawa, noting that the 25-year-old rarely gives his best before a major tournament. He missed the memorial cut before tying for fifth at the US Open and finished T-68 at Valspar in his last singles event before finishing fifth at the Masters. The two-time main champ also struggled around the greens (165 strokes gained), and had well-documented issues that surfaced with his racket. Gates will be away this week, but perhaps consider him at St Andrews.
