2022 RBC Canadian Open Betting Card Preview

The PGA Tour returns to Canada for the first time since 2019, returning to St. George’s Golf and Country Club in the Toronto suburbs for the first time since 2010. It’s a top-heavy field with five of the world’s top 10 making the trip up north. After that, it’s a steep decline in status, with just 12 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings in the field. Sandwiched between last week’s prestigious Memorial and next week’s U.S. Open is a tricky spot for the Tour’s third-oldest event.
St. George’s is a pretty straightforward track, and we’ll likely see the winning score approach the upper-teens this week. However, the tree-lined fairways, thick rough, and undulating green complexes put a premium on accuracy this week, both off the tee and on approach. It seems as though there are many ways to skin the cat here, so there’s not one overwhelming skill or golfer archetype to focus on this week. As always, check out Ron‘s course preview for more details.
My goal with this piece is to touch on the golfers I’m targeting this week. There are millions of ways to bet on this beautiful game, so I’ll share my opinion on the best way to bet on each golfer in my player pool at this week’s event. When pricing out finishing position bets, I’ll often lean towards BetMGM even if there’s a better number elsewhere because of MGM’s advantageous dead-heat rules.
