2022 CJ Cup odds, field notes, best bets and expert picks to win

Congaree Golf Club

Fifteen of the world’s top-20 players are in South Carolina for the CJ Cup at Congaree Golf Club.

Rory McIlroy, the defending champion, is the betting favorite at +700. The world No. 2 hasn’t played on the PGA Tour since winning the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup but has made three starts on the DP World Tour, finishing inside the top five in all three (T-2, 4, T-4).

Jon Rahm, who won the Open de Espana on the DP World Tour two weeks ago, is +900 to take home the title while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is +1200.

The field consists of 78 players, and there will be no cut after 36 holes.
