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 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…

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…

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.

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…
There are six players sitting atop the odds board for the 3M Open. Certainly, Sam Burns impressed fans last week at the Open Championship for three rounds, but how is that Sunday 80 sitting with you? Probably better than 3M Open’s favorite Tony Finau’s 81 in round two, leading to an MC. Following them on Read more…
How ironic that the layout at Royal Troon has been compared to Dante’s Divine Comedy. The course rolls out in three stages just like the poet’s prose. Holes one through six are referred to as heaven. The scoring section of the course has three short par 4s and two par 5s. With the prevailing wind Read more…
The odds board flipped this morning in preparation for the British Open. I didn’t see much movement at the top of the board, but those who played well in the Scottish Open were adjusted in advance of our 10th trip to Royal Troon for The Open. We certainly have to start with Robert MacIntyre, the Read more…

It has been a wild Monday on the odds board for the John Deere Classic. When the field of 156 players was posted on Friday, there was one name we all didn’t expect: Patrick Cantlay. Odds dropped on Monday morning with Cantlay as the betting favorite, despite Cantlay never competing in the John Deere during Read more…
What just happened? That’s what Tom Kim bettors—including two of us in our weekly Odds Drop video—were asking on Sunday afternoon. Minutes after Kim birdied the 72nd hole to force a playoff, PGA Tour officials moved the hole!
