Outright Bets for The Fortinet Championship 2022

After a 2 week hiatus, the PGA TOUR's new season kicks off in Napa, CA with the Fortinet Championship hosted at Silverado Resort & Spa's North Course. The Big Balls Betting Card had yet another profitable season ending at +26 units for 2021-2022 (+41 units in 2020-2021). We did all by strictly betting outright bombs at 25/1 or longer. That's the beauty of betting on golf. We only hit 6 winners on this article. But shout out to Pat for hitting 8 on his own betting card, not that anyone really cares.

However, I sense the tides of change churning in my betting loins this new season. I want to change some things up with how the card is structured, but I'm not exactly sure how just yet. Don't clutch your pearls...we're still gonna keep it "Big Balls." I'm thinking I'll be adding some Top 20s for sure, possibly some top 40s, and maybe even a parlay or double. Stay tuned. It could change up any week.

The sportsbooks have the winning over/under total at -18.5. I'd likely take the over on that total as the weather and conditions in Napa look perfect the entire week. It's eclipsed that mark the last 2 years. This course is gettable by anyone in the field, and the short par 4s and par 5s will supply ample wedge opportunities.

After a year full of favorites and short numbers winning, I'm believing the fall season is our best #LongShotSZN opportunity. Silverado has produced it's fair share of long shot winners, almost exclusively. Plus, the top end of the field isn't near as good as it's been in the past with guys like Jon Rahm not making the stop. I'm loading up on bombs and long shots this week as a result.
