2022 Fortinet Championship odds, field notes, best bets and picks to win

And just like that, we’re back. It’s time for the start of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season and the boys are in Napa, California, for the Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort and Spa (North Course).

Last season, Max Homa came from behind to take the title from Maverick McNealy for his first of two wins on Tour during the 2021-22 campaign (he’d go on to win the Wells Fargo Championship in May).

Understandably, Homa enters this year’s event as the betting favorite at +1300 (13/1). Hideki Matsuyama and Corey Conners are next on the list, tied at +1500 (15/1). Last year’s runner-up, McNealy, sits at +2000 (20/1).

Let’s dive into our first Tour preview of the season.
