Scottie Scheffler will return to the top of the Official World Golf Rankings if he can win this week’s Houston Open and the odds suggest he has a huge chance of leapfrogging Rory McIlroy with a triumph in his adopted home state.
Third behind Russell Henley at Mayakoba last week, Masters winner Scheffler is the betting favorite to claim a fifth PGA Tour victory of 2022 at Memorial Park Golf Club, where he was runner-up to Jason Kokrak a year ago. Let’s break down my best bets for this week’s action at the Houston Open.
Aaron Wise (+1800)
Memorial Park has staged 2 previous editions of the Houston Open, and while Scheffler is definitely the man to beat, there are others arriving in the Lone Star State full of confidence including Aaron Wise, who looks the better option at the odds.
