While not an official PGA Tour event, the QBE Shootout, which will be held Dec. 9-11 at Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida, gives one more golf betting opportunity in the 2022 calendar year.
It is a unique event, with 24 players making up 12 teams. The field includes several past Presidents Cup players, major winners and two LPGA Tour players.
It will feature a scramble format during the first round (Friday), a modified alternate shot format during the second round (Saturday), and a final-round better ball (Sunday).
So, how are bettors approaching this tournament?
As of Tuesday at the BetMGM online sportsbook, the team of Max Homa-Kevin Kisner is generating the most betting action by far.

Kisner and Homa are among the few teams in the field with both players having experience in a Presidents Cup/Ryder Cup. The two were part of the United States squad that defeated the Internationals in the Presidents Cup this fall at Quail Hollow.
Homa went a perfect 4-0, while Kisner was 0-2-1.
Harris English-Matt Kuchar is also a popular pick. They are drawing the second-most handle (15.3%) on the second-most tickets (13.6%).
