2022 Masters odds, weekend picks: Proven computer model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising PGA golf projections

The 2022 Masters heads to the weekend with a clear favorite. Scottie Scheffler leads the field by five strokes as he enters Saturday at 8-under par after firing a 69 and 67 in his first two round. Caesars Sportsbook lists Scheffler at 1-1 in the update Masters odds, but plenty of big names are still in contention. Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama is at 3-under par and he joins Dustin Johnson Cameron Smith and Shane Lowry at 12-1. 

Tiger Woods wasn't able to replicate his first-round magic with a second-round 74, but he easily made the cut at +1 and he is listed as a 70-1 long shot to win it all.

With two rounds remaining, there are still a lot of opportunities for golf bettors to find value and SportsLine simulated the final two rounds of the 2022 Masters 10,000 times, producing some MAJOR surprises. So before you settle into watch the weekend of the Masters 2022, be sure what it has to say. And be sure to watch the Masters live here!

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. In addition, McClure's model was all over Jon Rahm's (10-1) first career major championship victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. 

This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for: Lowry, who is tied for the second-lowest odds at 12-1, stumbles big time and finishes outside the top five. Another surprise: Will Zalatoris, a big 35-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a BIG payday.

Also, the model has a surprising prediction for where Tiger Woods finishes, and it is also targeting two HUGE long shots with odds of 50-1 or longer who will make a surprising run! Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it BIG.
