PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2023 Players Championship

For the first time in several weeks, we’re coming off a strong PGA event.

2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting Preview

The options in the PGA betting markets are wide, and while there are several ways to attack those markets, outright bets (or picks to win the tournament outright) are going to be a large part of the key focus in this article. The theory is that outrights, being low-probability events, are harder for books to […]

PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Oh, how disappointing of a week it turned out to be at The Honda Classic. That tournament is infinitely better when the course shows its teeth. The rough was forgiving, the greens were soft, and there was no wind. Boo!   Fortunately, it seems as though we’re in for a brutal test of golf at […]

PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2023 Honda Classic

After tremendous wins in incredible fields from Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, we’re left with an odds board that includes Benny An at 55-1. Fortunately, The Honda Classic has been one of the more profitable events for us over the years, in large part due to PGA National’s course fit model.   Once again, new […]

PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2023 Genesis Invitational

What a run of golf tournaments we’ve reached. Going from the party at TPC Scottsdale to historic Riviera CC is a spoil I don’t take for granted — for as much as we criticize the Tour for leaving meat on the bone of the PGA product as a whole, this time of year is near […]

PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2023 American Express

Two weeks into the PGA season and we already have our first outright hit of 2023. Thanks, Si Woo. Perhaps my favorite part of his win is that it dispelled the silly narrative that only players who played the previous week could do well. Anyway, The American Express is tricky in the sense that we […]
