Will Rory win the CJ Cup in 2022?
Rory has a chance of winning the CJ Cup this year under two circumstances only. The first is if he wins and his opponent Scottie Scheffler performs terribly. It has to be worse than being tied for a second. And the second scenario is if the Irish pro golfer can finish second alone. However, Scheffler will have to end worse than 34th in that scenario.

The fact is that winning should not be very tough for Rory as he was the one who made it to the top more than ten years ago, and he stayed there for a century of weeks.
