The PGA Tour returns to the mainland this week for the The American Express 2022, which tees off Thursday in southern California. The pro-am portion is back this year, and the event will be back to playing three courses in La Quinta after it was scaled down amid the pandemic last season. The 2022 The American Express field is highlighted by world No. 1 Jon Rahm and reigning FedExCup champion Patrick Cantlay and features 14 former champions. Caesars Sportsbook lists Rahm as the 6-1 favorite in its latest 2022 The American Express golf odds. Cantlay (8-1) and Scottie Scheffler (18-1) are the only other golfers in the 2022 The American Express field at odds lower than 20-1.
Rahm was the runner-up in his last outing, at Kapalua, so does that make him an easy selection for your 2022 The American Express Fantasy golf picks? Or would a young star like Sungjae Im (20-1) or Matthew Wolff (30-1) put you in a better position to win? Before you lock in any PGA Fantasy golf rankings or bets on the 2022 The American Express, be sure to check out the Fantasy golf projections and lineup advice from SportsLine expert Riley Gates.
In last week's picks for the Sony Open, Gates had seven players among his top 15 who made the top 20. That included winner Hideki Matsuyama, runner-up Russell Henley and co-third-place finishers Kevin Kisner and Seamus Power.
"This is a player we know can contend, and the field is not as strong as it was last week," Gates said of Matsuyama before the event in Honolulu. The Japanese star erased a five-stroke deficit on the back nine Sunday and beat Henley with an eagle on the first playoff hole for his eighth tour win.
Gates also nailed his picks the previous week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, with four of his top seven picks posting top-five finishes. That included winner Cameron Smith and runner-up Jon Rahm.
The expert was on a roll on his picks during the fall season, as well. At the Hero World Challenge, again four of his top seven finished in the top five. Seven of his selections were in the top 20 at the Houston Open, and five of Gates' top six golfers had top-15 outings at the World Wide Technology Championship. Anyone who has followed Gates is way up.
Now, Gates has ranked his top 20 golfers in the 2022 The American Express field. You can only see his fantasy golf rankings and picks at SportsLine.
2022 The American Express golf expert picks
This week in SoCal, Gates is firmly behind Rahm, who was the runner-up in his last outing and shows no sign of slowing down. He has hit more than 81 percent of his greens in his six rounds this season and shot a 61 on his way to 33 under at Kapalua two weeks ago. Rahm is 43-under in his last two tournaments on these courses, winning in 2018 and finishing sixth the following year. Add that to his track record from last season, when he finished in the top 10 in 15 of his 22 events, and it's tough not to back Rahm this week. Gates has no qualms about doing so.
At the same time, Gates is fading Scheffler, who was a runner-up in his last outing but could be rusty. That could be a problem against a field with a lot of players who can shoot low scores from the start. Scheffler was second at the Hero World Challenge, but that was more than a month ago, and while he was third at the 2020 The American Express, he missed the cut last year. His accuracy off the tee (59.3 percent fairways hit) has been an issue, and his putting has been below average. Gates doesn't rank Scheffler among the top five options for your fantasy picks.
How to set your 2022 The American Express golf rankings
For this week in La Quinta, Gates has a long-shot player to win who is listed at more than 30-1. This player has been red-hot, and getting a victory seems like just a matter of time. This golfer has been regularly firing in the 60's, and this week in La Quinta he is a must-play for your Fantasy golf picks. You can find out who it is, and check out all of Gates' The American Express picks only at SportsLine.
