To properly prepare for the 89th Masters, we once again offer this scouting report that outlines each and every player in the field (not just two of them) this week at Augusta National.
The field was blown away on Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open. The wind was up across the beautiful bluffs of Torrey Pines and the field of 155 was fighting for their cutline lives. Ludvig Åberg finished Round 1 with a nine-under par 63 and held the tournament lead by two strokes. Åberg played Wednesday Read more…
Teams of three will take the stage Tuesday for the inaugural TGL match! Each made-for-TV event will take two hours and be contested over 15 holes. Here’s the format: The opening nine holes will be a THREE-man alternate shot. Teams earn points for winning holes. The final six holes will be as head-to-head matches. Those Read more…
Tiger Woods gets no respect these days. Golf’s modern GOAT and 23 of his PGA Tour comrades are less than 65 days away from the start of the TGL’s inaugural season. As the hype train heads toward the first match on Jan. 7, the preseason betting odds are finally here. Since simulator golf is brand Read more…
Look out! Short odds have returned to the betting boards for the Zozo Championship. The FedEx Cup Fall’s premiere purse ($8.5 million) takes us to Japan for a 72-hole, no-cut tournament. Eight Presidents Cup players are competing, including Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama and defending champion Collin Morikawa. Schauffele starts the board at +450 and followed Read more…
The average winning score at TPC Summerlin for the Shriners Children’s Open is 23 under par over the past five years. Those same five champions average 26 sub-par scores on their way to the winner’s circle. One tradition I like to start my golf betting week is checking the over/under on the winning score for Read more…
Only two players (NOT named Tiger Woods) have won the same event three years in a row over the last 40-plus years! Believe it or not, Tiger did it for six different events in a nine-year span. Two of those six three-year runs extended to a fourth year. But he’s the greatest of all-time and Read more…
My condolences to those who didn’t skip Keith Mitchell last week. He held your optimism until the very end. In many ways, there’s a lesson inside that bitter disappointment: Favorites seldom win in regular season PGA Tour events. Sure, the signature level tournaments were all sealed up by Scottie Scheffler, but when the rank and Read more…
The Sanderson Farms Championship is the second event of the FedEx Cup Fall season on the PGA Tour. Lost to many fans behind a collective sea of college and NFL football, sharp bettors know this is the perfect time to start finding next year’s Jake Knapp or Davis Thompson. Seven events over the next two Read more…
The last time I bet Keith Mitchell was 26 weeks ago at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. He lost two and half strokes with his short game/putter and missed the cut. I’m happy to say after six months, my recovery from burning money on Mitchell is going well and events like the Sanderson Farms Championship, Read more…
Max Homa entered the 2023 Procore Championship as the two-time defending champion. He was about to compete for the U.S. side in the Ryder Cup matches and finished top 10 in his past four starts. Homa was gaining an average of six strokes on the field over his past five starts and looked to be Read more…
ATLANTA, Ga. — The PGA Tour is about to open Pandora’s Box. Sixteen of golf’s greatest entertainment leaders are coming to the Tour Championship. The back nine at East Lake Golf Club with be the host venue for the first edition of the Creator Classic. On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Barstool’s podcasters will ceremonially kick-off this Read more…
Be careful when it comes to believing betting content. The constant chatter about Wyndham Clark’s elevation experience can be overwhelming. There’s no doubt Clark is a worthwhile pick playing in his hometown at 6,000 feet above sea level. Believe it or not, he’s not the only player who has that kind of real altitude competitive Read more…
The Monday Odds Drop is a value statement. Who in the field represents the best value for winning? Conversely, who is worth very little value. The meaning behind this conversation is often overlooked by golf bettors. Most weeks, everyone just fires bets on the favorite. Hideki Matsuyama (28-1) was pretty far from the favorite last Read more…
We have three weeks left of premium PGA TOUR golf left in 2024. The FedEx Cup regular season is over and now we head to Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The top 70 on the season long points list will fight against elimination as only the top 50 move on to the BMW Read more…
The Wyndham Championship might get plagued by weather, but in all the fuss over wave advantages and wind, do not lose sight of what is most important this week. The previous 10 winners have gained a combined 12 strokes (on average) versus the field with their flatstick and iron game. Sedgefield Country Club is a Read more…
It is going to be a wild week at the Wyndham Championship. A field of 156 players heads to Sedgefield Country Club to compete in the final regular season event of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup season. The top 70 and ties will advance to the playoffs in Memphis, but not before a serious test Read more…
The FedEx Open de France is contested at Le Golf National’s Albatros course every fall on the DP World Tour. If you’re like most of our PGA Tour-centric readers, we tend to overlook our global counterparts when it comes to elite events. Unlike the Olympic golf competitions of 2016 and 2021, we have some history Read more…
Olympic golf has sure turned around with the growing popularity of the game. Remember Rio when the United States sent Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar and Patrick Reed? Eight years is a long time ago. Rickie was ranked eighth in the world back then, Reed and Watson have now famously left the tour for Read more…
