2022 Tour de France Winner Odds: Who will win the Tour de France?

Tadej Pogacar is the one to beat

Published: 28 Jun 2022 3:56 PM +00:00 Updated: 28 Jun 2022 3:56 PM +00:00

The 2022 Tour de France is just days away from getting started with Stage 1 set to begin in the Danish city of Copenhagen for the very first time.

Tadej Pogacar will look to defend his crown this July having already won two Tour de France titles, but with a different early route planned this year, the outcome could be different.

With the opening stages rapidly approaching, we take a look at the bookies' favourites for the 2022 Tour de France .

2022 Tour de France Winner - Outright

The odds provided below represent the best value on the market that we could find. Odds correct as of June 2022.

• Tadej Pogacar - 4/6
• Carlos Rodriguez - Evens
• Sergio Higuita - Evens
• Jonas Vingegaard - 9/2
• Primoz Roglic - 9/2
• Attila Valter - 20/1
• Geraint Thomas - 20/1
• Daniel Martinez - 22/1
• Alexander Vlasov - 33/1
• Ben O'Connor - 40/1
• Adam Yates - 40/1
• Enric Mas Nicolau - 40/1
• Egan Bernal - 50/1
• Mikel Landa - 50/1
• Miguel Angel Lopez - 66/1
• Romain Bardet - 66/1
• Wout Van Aert - 66/1

Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar is the overwhelming favourite to win the 2022 Tour de France with a best price of 4/6 among the bookies. The 23-year-old is already a two-time Tour de France winner, having led Jonas Vingegaard over the line last time around.

Vingegaard is also well fancied to challenge again in 2022 with a best price of 9/2, while Carlos Rodriguez, Sergio Higuita and Pogecar's compatriot Primoz Roglic are also considered contenders.

Vingegaard or Pogačar? Who Do the Betting Markets Favor to Win the Tour de France?

Not much separates the top two GC threats heading into the final week, but Vegas gives a slight edge to one rider over the other.

As this year’s Tour prepares to start its final week, very little continues to separate these two champions. It’s been a historically close TdF so far. Of course, only one will wear the maillot jaune in Paris. So who is favored by those experts in Vegas? Sports betting odds often provide good insight into which riders have the edge. After all, these services stand to lose a lot of money if they get this kind of thing wrong.

Here are the 2023 Tour de France odds for the General Classification (as of Monday, July 17 at 5 p.m. EDT) from three different gambling services.

• Jonas Vingegaard -120
• Tadej Pogačar +100
• Jonas Vingegaard -125

These figures tell us that Vegas gives the edge to the defending Tour champion Vingegaard. But it’s only a very slight advantage. -120 translates to an implied probability of 54.5 percent and -125 translates to an implied probability of 55.6 percent. +100, Pogačar’s odds, translates to an implied probability of 50 percent.

More or less, this competition is a toss up. If you’ve been following the Tour de France this year, these numbers shouldn’t be too surprising.

Vingegaard gained fairly significant time on Pogačar during Stage 5, putting his early advantage at 53 seconds. But Pogačar has little by little been chipping away at Vingegaard’s lead in the yellow jersey competition. Pogačar has gone on the offensive numerous times in the last week plus, and on a few occasions, Vingegaard hasn’t been able to match his accelerations.

Vingegaard now leads Pogačar by just 10 seconds—a number that can shrink or increase over the last six stages between an individual time trial to open the final week on Tuesday and two tough mountain stages.

With the exception of his slip up on Stage 5, Pogačar has appeared to have a bit of a one-up on Vingegaard over the ensuing 10 stages. Yet the betting markets seem to still favor Vingegaard, albeit very slightly.

Bicycling isn’t going to give you gambling advice, nor do we condone gambling. These odds merely give us a look at how those who stand to make a lot of money see this head-to-head battle playing out.

As far as we’re concerned, we’re excited to sit back, relax, and enjoy what should be a thrilling last week of the men’s Tour de France.

Tour de France 2021 odds, predictions: Proven cycling expert locks in surprising picks, best bets

Sportsline's gene menez correctly predicted the winners of the yellow, green and white jerseys in the 2019 tour de france.

The 2021 Tour de France returns to its traditional spot on the summer calendar on Saturday, June 26, when the iconic cycling race begins its brutal three-week journey through the country with Stage 1 in the Brittany region. Oddsmakers from William Hill Sportsbook list defending champion Tadej Pogacar as the 3-2 betting favorite to win the yellow jersey in the latest 2021 Tour de France odds. Last year's runner-up, Primoz Roglic, is the 2-1 second favorite, while 2018 champion Geraint Thomas is 11-2.

This year's Tour route features a traditional profile, with just three summit finishes, eight stages suited for sprinters and two solo time trials. With so many unknowns entering this year's race, you'll want to see the latest 2021 Tour de France predictions from SportsLine senior writer Gene Menez , who correctly predicted the winners of the yellow, green and white jerseys in the 2019 Tour de France.

A former reporter and associate editor for Sports Illustrated, where he covered an array of sports for almost 14 years, Menez has been obsessed with the Tour de France for more than three decades. He has been following the iconic three-week race since the mid-1980s when Greg LeMond was riding to three yellow jerseys.

Menez has analyzed the Tour de France favorites, route, and top contenders and has picked his top-three finishers for the yellow jersey, as well as the winners of the green jersey (best sprinter), polka dot jersey (best climber) and white jersey (best young rider). He's sharing all of his expert Tour de France 2021 picks only at SportsLine . 

Top 2021 Tour de France Picks

One shocker: We can tell you Menez is fading Pogacar, even though he is the defending champion and the top favorite. A 22-year-old from Slovenia, Pogacar shocked the cycling world last year when he smashed Roglic on the final time trial en route to winning the race in his Tour debut. Pogacar prepared for the 2021 Tour de France by winning the Tour of Slovenia.

However, Pogacar enters the Tour de France 2021 as the hunted and not the hunter. His main rivals will not allow him to get away as easily as he did last year. "I also don't like the fact that he did not win his country's time trial national championship, which could be a sign of vulnerability," Menez told SportsLine.

How to make 2021 Tour de France picks

Menez's pick to win the Tour de France is a rider who "has taken a different approach entering this year's tour." He's also high on a double-digit long shot to win the polka dot jersey. He is sharing all of his 2021 Tour de France picks only on SportsLine .

So which rider wins the Tour de France 2021? Who finishes on the podium? And who captures the green, polka dot and white jerseys? See the 2021 Tour de France odds below and  visit SportsLine to see Menez's detailed Tour de France expert picks, all from the SportsLine senior writer who has been intensely following the sport for more than three decades .

2021 Tour de France favorites, odds, top contenders

Tadej Pogacar 6-4 Primoz Roglic 2-1 Geraint Thomas 11-2 Richard Carapaz 7-1 Richie Porte 20-1 Julian Alaphilippe 25-1 Miguel Angel Lopez 28-1 Rigoberto Uran 33-1 Tao Geoghegan Hart 40-1 Enric Mas 66-1 David Gaudu 66-1 Jack Haig 66-1 Simon Yates 80-1 Michael Woods 80-1 Nairo Quintana 80-1 Wout Van Aert 80-1 Wilco Kelderman 80-1 Jakob Fuglsang 100-1 Wout Poels 100-1 Pello Bilbao 100-1 Emanuel Buchmann 100-1 Steven Kruijswijk 100-1 Mathieu Van Der Poel 100-1

PGA Championship Round 4 live updates, leaderboard: Xander Schauffele beats out Bryson DeChambeau to win at Valhalla

Bryson dechambeau nearly beat out xander schauffele after hitting a clutch birdie putt at the 18th on sunday afternoon at valhalla.

Xander Schauffele, finally, has won a major championship .

Schauffele, thanks to a clutch birdie at the 18th, beat out Bryson DeChambeau to win the PGA Championship on Sunday afternoon at Valhalla . He posted a final-round 65, which moved him to 21-under par for the week and gave him the one-shot win in Louisville. After coming close so many times, he's now won a major championship.

DeChambeau, who was hanging with Schauffele for much of the day, made a huge long birdie putt at the 18th to get to 20-under. That sparked a massive celebration on the final green. He then went immediately to the range to keep working while Schauffele finished his round. DeChambeau's playing partner, Viktor Hovland, had a birdie look to join them in the lead at the 18th, too, but he ended up three-putting for bogey. That earned him a third-place finish at 18-under on the week.

Schauffele, despite having to stand in the bunker to hit his second shot on the final hole, left himself with about a six foot putt for birdie. Though it rolled around the cup, the putt dropped to give him the win .

Thomas Detry finished in fourth at 15-under on the week alongside Colin Morikawa, and Shane Lowry and Justin Rose finished tied for sixth at 14-under.

Scottie Scheffler, who was arrested on Friday morning outside of the course in Louisville, finished at 13-under on the week after he posted a 6-under round to end the tournament.

Five winners in five years at the PGA Championship

Schauffele is the fifth different golfer to win the PGA Championship in the past five tournaments since Brooks Koepka went back-to-back in 2018 and 2019. Collin Morikawa won in 2020 — the first major of the year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Phil Mickelson won in 2021, Justin Thomas won in 2022 and Koepka won his third PGA a year ago.

Scottie Scheffler sneaks into the top 10

The top 11 players in the tournament were within eight shots of each other as Scottie Scheffler snuck into a tie for eighth with a 65 on Sunday.

Viktor Hovland finished third three shots back of Schauffele, while Thomas Detry was fourth and three shots back of Hovland. Here's the complete top 10 below.

1. Xander Schauffele, -21

2. Bryson DeChambeau, -20

3. Viktor Hovland, -18

4. Thomas Detry, -15

5. Justin Rose, -14

5. Shane Lowry, -14

5. Collin Morikawa, -14

8. Billy Herschel, -13

8. Scottie Scheffler, -13

8. Justin Thomas, -13

8. Robert MacIntyre, -13

Schauffele quiets the questions about closing tournaments

Xander Schauffele entered the PGA Championship failing to close out two big events earlier this season. He was in the final group at both the Players Championship and the Wells Fargo a week ago and failed to win as Scottie Scheffler took home the title at Sawgrass and Rory McIlroy went nuclear.

Today, he was the closer. He entered with the co-lead at 15-under and shot a 6-under 65 to win by one over Bryson DeChambeau.

Schauffele's 21-under par is the lowest score relative to par in major championship history. He also went wire-to-wire this weekend after shooting a 62 in the first round to open the tournament.

Xander Schauffele wins the PGA Championship

Schauffele gets it to go on the left edge. He's your 2024 PGA Championship winner.

The putt was pretty straight and it hit the left edge of the cup and circled around the back before dropping in.

It's the first major of Schauffele's career.

The putt that made Xander Schauffele a PGA Champion! 🏆 #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/SjBehodFWu — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

Schauffele has a makeable birdie putt

Schauffele hits his chip to about 5 or 6 feet. If he makes that birdie putt, he's the 2024 PGA Championship winner.

If he misses and makes par, we've got a three-hole playoff.

Xander was standing so far down in the bunker, and he played his approach perfectly. He'll now have an up-and-down look for a birdie to win this thing from about 35 yards out.

Bryson is in the zone still as he waits for Xander to finish at 18.

Again, here's what the playoff would look like at Valhalla.

In the event of a tie for first place after 72 holes, there will be a three-hole aggregate score playoff on holes #13, #17 and #18. If still tied, there will be a hole-by-hole playoff on hole #18, #13, #17 and #18 repeated. #PGAChamp — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

Xander Schauffele pars 17

Xander Schauffele just parred No. 17, so he'll head to the 18th tied up with Bryson DeChambeau at 20-under. A birdie or better will win it for him here. If he pars, we're headed to a playoff.

Here's a closer look at Bryson DeChambeau's final putt at the 18th to tie the lead.

BRYSON. CLUTCH. He ties the lead with a birdie on 18. pic.twitter.com/r1dR4lXHlc — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) May 19, 2024

Viktor Hovland misses birdie putt

Viktor Hovland just left his birdie look on the low side of the cup. He'll finish at 18-under on the week, which will be good for a solo-third finish at the PGA Championship.

It's now down to Bryson or Xander.

Bryson DeChambeau matches the lead at 18

Bryson DeChambeau erupts on the final green. He got his final birdie putt to fall, which moves him into a share of the lead at 20-under.

It'll now be up to Xander Schauffele to win this thing down the stretch.

Xander Schauffele is headed to the 17th with a one-shot lead over the field.

With Schauffele headed there - only 8% of the field has made bogey today at 17. — Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) May 19, 2024

Robert MacIntyre, after barely missing the rare albatross on his approach, just made the second eagle of the day at the 18th. That moved him into the top 10, and under par for his round. The perfect finish that's going to earn him a significant boost in his paycheck this afternoon.

Well, Bryson landed in the fairway bunker and Hovland landed in the first cut on the 18th. Not a great start on a must-have birdie hole for either of them.

Bryson, Hovland head to 18

Bryson DeChambeau missed a good look at birdie at the 17th, so he'll head to the final hole still a shot back of Xander Schauffele. Hovland missed his birdie look, too, which was better than DeChambeau's by far.

The two need to make a move here at the last if they want to win this. Otherwise, Schauffele will need to just hang on.

Justin Thomas' big finish

The Louisville fans showed Justin Thomas plenty of love as he wrapped up his final round at Valhalla.

What a feeling for Justin Thomas to play in front of his home crowd! 🥹 #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/Jhg3PbwWEk — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

With Bryson DeChambeau's last birdie at the 16th, here's how things stand late at Valhalla. We're in for a great finish.

1. Xander Schauffele (-20) (13)

T2. Viktor Hovland (-19) (16)

T2. Bryson DeChambeau (-19) (16)

4. Justin Rose (-16) (16)

Bryson throwing darts

Bryson just smashed this one 220 yards, and landed it within about 3 feet after immediately taking off walking. He's looking at another birdie now at the 16th, which would bring him back within one.

Xander back to the solo lead

Another short birdie putt for Xander and he's back to the lead, -20. And the advantage might be a little bigger. He's got more birdieable holes to work with than Hovland and DeChambeau.

HUGE early step. Xander is feeling it. pic.twitter.com/Gmo5Fq30h7 — Fore Play (@ForePlayPod) May 19, 2024

Xander bounces back

Nails by Xander Schauffele, who drained an 8-footer for birdie at 11 to get back into a tie for the lead.

Let's be clear about something here: Yes, Schauffele has been in the lead most of this entire tournament, but he's not giving this thing away. He's 4-under on his round, it's just that Hovland and DeChambeau are charging.

DeChambeau stays in it

Bryson DeChambeau didn't go for it on the short par-4 13th. Instead, he bombed his drive, leaving himself a short pitch that led to a short birdie that led to 18-under, one back of Hovland.

Behind him, though, Schauffele has a good look at birdie on 11.

Hovland to the lead

Viktor Hovland is pouring in birdie after birdie. A curler on 13 is his sixth of the day. That moves him to 19-under, sole possession of the lead.

Xander stumbles

Bryson saves par with a tough up-and-down at 12. Behind him at the par-5 10th, Schauffele found a trap on his drive, rough on his second, pitched over the green to the fringe on his third, pitched short on his fourth, then missed a short putt for par. That's a bit like giving two back on a gettable par 5.

Schauffele and Hovland are now tied at 18-under.

Meanwhile, Collin Morikawa still hasn't found a red figure. Another missed birdie putt at 10 makes it 10 straight pars. That would be great at a U.S. Open, not so much on Sunday at Valhalla.

Hovland to second by himself

Viktor Hovland is not letting Schauffele run away with it. A dart to the green at 12 led to an 8-footer for birdie. He's got it to 18-under, one back of Xander.

Rory in at 12-under

That's it for Rory McIlroy this week. A birdie at 18 moves him to 12-under. It'll be a top-15 finish, likely, but the major-less streak continues.

Leaderboard Update

Now that the final group has made the turn, here’s where things stand at Valhalla.

While Collin Morikawa missed, Xander Schauffele was right on target. He sank his fourth birdie of the day at the ninth, which moved him to 19-under and back to a two-shot lead.

Playoff Scenarios at Valhalla

If needed, here's how the playoff would go down at Valhalla.

Collin Morikawa misses another birdie

Collin Morikawa had a great look at birdie at the 9th, but he just missed. He'll make the turn at even par for the day, which has him two back of Xander Schauffele. A frustrating start for him for sure.

Viktor Hovland, Bryson DeChambeau now 1 back

Xander Schauffele's lead is back to just a single stroke after both Viktor Hovalnd and Bryson DeChambeau birdied the 10th. Both guys had very short birdie putts after missing eagle opportunities, which moved them to 17-under.

Free Scottie!

Scottie Scheffler bounced back with a 6-under round on Sunday to end what was a very weird PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler ends at 13-under

Scottie Scheffler's week is finally over. He just posted a 65 in his final round, which dropped him to 13-under on the week. After his arrest and chaotic day on Friday, that's an incredible finish for the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world.

Despite landing in the bunker at the 7th, Xander Schauffele still went up-and-down for birdie. He's now at 18-under on the day, which gives him a two-shot lead yet again.

Almost everyone is going low so far today. Morikawa is still at even par, and slipped to T4, while Theegala is 1-over and now four shots back.

3 straight for Hovland

Viktor Hovland sank his third straight birdie, and he's now tied with Bryson DeChambeau at 16-under. He's now just one back of Xander Scauffele, and he just stuck a close shot at the par-3 8th. He'll have a look for a share of the lead.

That's 3️⃣ birdies in a row for Hovland! He's within 1 of the lead. #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/NOTn0ENiHt — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

Scottie Scheffler bouncing back

It's too late to make a difference, but Scottie Scheffler is on a roll on his back nine. He's made five birdies thru seven holes on the back side, which has him at 13-under now for the week. If it weren't for a rough outing on Saturday, he'd be right in this.

Here comes Bryson

Bryson DeChambeau just putted in a birdie from well off the green, and then sprinted off to the right celebrating. That's back-to-back birdies for him now, which has him just a shot off the lead.

What a ROAR for Bryson. pic.twitter.com/MjNaMO7wVx — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) May 19, 2024

Schauffele pushes the lead to 2

Xander Schauffele birdies No. 4 to extend his lead to two shots after Collin Morikawa missed his birdie putt.

Schauffele has birdied No. 1 and No. 4 so far as he looks for his first major win. There are five players at either 14-under or 15-under.

2-under thru 4! @XSchauffele leads by 2 after a hot start @PGAChampionship . pic.twitter.com/AggGJvlvjn — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 19, 2024

Shane Lowry gets robbed of an eagle by the flagstick

The flagstick kept Shane Lowry from tying Xander Schauffele at 16-under.

Lowry hit a beautiful chip from in front of the green on No. 4 that was dead center of the cup but had a little too much speed. The ball ricocheted off the stick and somehow stayed out.

Lowry had to settle for birdie and is tied with Collin Morikawa a shot back.

SO CLOSE! Shane Lowry hits the pin on 4. ⛳️ He settles for birdie on four to move into second. #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/Z636PLaPXA — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

Scottie Scheffler is on a birdie tear

Scottie Scheffler moves to 11-under after a birdie on No. 13 and has now birdied four of his last six holes.

Shane Lowry moves to 14-under

The top five players are now separated by just two shots after Shane Lowry birdied the par 3 No. 3.

DeChambeau now two back of Schauffele

Bryson DeChambeau hit a fantastic second shot to set up an easy birdie putt on No. 2 to move to 14-under and two shots back of Xander Schauffele.

Xander Schauffele birdies No. 1

Xander Schauffele birdies his first hole to get to 16-under and one shot clear of Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala.

Schauffele's second shot barely got over the bunker in front of the green but rolled out to give him a decent look for birdie that he converted.

Didn't take long for @XSchauffele to make birdie 💪 A strong start in pursuit of his first major victory @PGAChampionship . pic.twitter.com/kGJQNDJq0k — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 19, 2024

Sahith Theegala gets to 15-under with a 55-footer

Sahith Theegala has joined Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa at 15-under with a remarkable 55-foot birdie putt on No. 1.

Sahith Theegala starting things off RIGHT‼️ He birdies 1 and moves into a tie for the lead. 💯 #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/3s69WnNQyI — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 19, 2024

Here we go ...

Everyone is now on the course, including the co-leaders, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele.

Schauffele's drive on No. 1 tricked into the right rough; Morikawa found the fairway.

Up ahead, Bryson DeChambeau had a good look at birdie on No. 1 to get to within a shot of the lead but pulled it. Can't let those opportunities slip by on a day like today when red numbers are there for the taking.

Logjam is jamming up

With some of those atop the leaderboard now on the course, 17 players are now within five shots of the lead. That includes Justin Thomas (-11), who holed out from the greenside bunker at No. 3.

Valhalla's got snakes

No need for grounds crew when you got this guy ...

Anybody can grab a birdie at Valhalla. Only this good ol' boy got a snake. pic.twitter.com/vcc1Zcj2DN — Jay Busbee (@jaybusbee) May 19, 2024

Defying the odds, Switzerland won the 68th Eurovision Song Contest with “The Code” by Nemo on Saturday (May 11) at the Malmö Arena in Sweden. It’s the perfect bookend as Switzerland won the very first competition in 1956 with “Refrain” by Lys Assia. This is the European nation’s third win and the first since Celine Dion claimed victory with “Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi” in 1988.

It was a Eurovision Song Contest with more drama than in recent memory. Joost Klein from the Netherlands was disqualified after the semi-finals because of an alleged backstage incident. Alanna Mele, designated to be the spokesperson to give Norway’s jury points on air, withdrew the day of the final with a statement that ended with “Free Palestine.” Slimane from France unexpectedly stopped his performance during Saturday afternoon’s (May 11) dress rehearsal for a message of love and peace. Bambie Thug from Ireland protested to the European Broadcasting Union about remarks from the Israeli commentator and missed one of her rehearsals.

Netherlands’ Joost Klein Disqualified From Eurovision After ‘Incident’

Nemo’s win means that Switzerland will host Eurovision in 2025. Cities in that nation can vie to host. Switzerland previously hosted Eurovision in Lugano and Lausanne.

The top 10 countries for Eurovision 2024 and their combined points from the jury and public votes are:

• Switzerland, 591
• Croatia, 547
• Ukraine, 453
• France, 445
• Israel, 375
• Ireland, 278
• Armenia, 183
• Sweden, 174
• Portugal, 152

Norway finished last with 16 points. The U.K. entry “Dizzy” by Ollie Alexander, did not fare well with the juries, receiving 46 points, but completely failed with the public, being the only nation to receive zero points from viewers voting by telephone, website, SMS and the Eurovision app.
