PGA Betting Model
At the core of our PGA betting product is the FTN PGA Betting Model, a simulation-based tool that calculates win equity, top 5/10/20/40 probabilities, and cut-making odds for every golfer in the field.

We simulate each tournament tens of thousands of times, then compare our projections to sportsbook odds to highlight value bets across all markets:
- Outrights
- Top 5/10/20/40 finishes
- Make or miss the cut
You’ll see each golfer’s fair odds based on our sims, so you can immediately identify soft lines and +EV opportunities. The betting model is sortable, exportable, and updated with each event.
Proprietary Course Fit Model
FTN’s Course Fit Model helps identify which golfers are best suited for each tournament by breaking down how their individual skill sets align with the specific course.
At the core of the model is xSG, a proprietary metric developed by Alex Blickle that blends:
- Course Fit Expected Strokes Gained (how well a golfer profiles for the layout, based on similar course types)
- Baseline Expected Strokes Gained (a long-term measure of player performance)
The stronger the course fit signal, the more xSG leans on it, giving you an adaptive projection that reflects each golfer’s upside for this specific event.
The model also includes granular data on:
- Driving distance
- Driving accuracy
- Approach play
- Around the green
- Putting
It’s a powerful tool for identifying live longshots, fade candidates and course specialists before the market catches up.
