This week’s golf event, the PGA Championship, is upon us and gives us a chance to tackle the sport in a way other site do not offer.
PrizePicks is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected outcomes in various golf stats. To dive into the ins and outs of everything PrizePicks, FTN’s Tyler Loechner wrote a comprehensive App Review.
How to Play PrizePicks PGA
For the sake of this PGA article, the format is simple: You pick 2-5 players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected strokes, birdie total, or any other stat that Prize Picks may use.
When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:
- Two-pick entry pays 3x (max entry: $400)
- Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
- Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)
Sometimes these odds vary depending on the stat, but in general those are the starting payouts.
As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option. This provides an added level of security on your entry where you can decrease your multiplier received if you miss one of your entries but hit on all of the others.
An important note — these lines can shift over the course of the day leading up until lock. The lines that I am quoting are at the time of writing.
PGA Championship Prize Picks
Here are my key PrizePicks for the first round of this week’s PGA Championship.
- Strokes – John Daly OVER 83.5
- Strokes – Brooks Koepka OVER 72
Using those picks together pays out 2.25x.
