Outright picks
Matt Vincenzi
Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth
Thomas is having a solid start to the season. While he has yet to record a win this season, Thomas has made the cut in all four events he’s participated in. He’s cracked the top 10 twice already, finishing third in the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and coming away with a T5 in the Sentry Tournament of Champions. In his most recent start, Thomas garnered a T20 in the Farmers Insurance Open. A victory could be due for Thomas, given the way he’s played in his recent starts.

Golfer to watch out for
Riley Gates
Hideki Matsuyama
Riley Gates of 247Sports is seeing plenty of promise in Matsuyama’s potential to win this week at TPC Scottsdale. The Japanese is a perfect 7 of 7 so far this season and has already pocketed two wins. He won the ZOZO Championship back in October and the Sony Open in Hawaii just last January. He is coming off a T30 in the Farmers Insurance Open and will be heading to TPC Scottsdale, where success is not a stranger to him. See, Matsuyama has two wins there in his career. He won the Waste Management Phoenix Open back to back in 2016 and 2017. He also has four top 4s in eight starts at TPC Scottsdale.

Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor
Jon Rahm
In his preview of the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Jon Rahm to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about Rahm:
Don’t act like you’re surprised to see Rahm’s name here. The world’s No. 1 player is virtually an automatic favorite in any tournament. He has made the cut in all four PGA TOUR events this season. He has yet to win this campaign, but he’s already got a couple of top 10s, including a runner-up finish in the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
