I’m expecting a firm, challenging course that will get brutal in the Friday and Saturday winds. Speaking of, the winds have a chance to define the week — who avoids the heaviest winds and who handles […]

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 […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Honda Classic
The PGA Tour’s Florida swing kicks off this week at PGA National, and longtime golf fans know that Florida golf typically means windy conditions and lots of water hazards.    The forecast looks relatively calm as of now, but the wind models are not all in agreement which tells us it’s possible the wind does […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 Honda Classic
A weaker PGA field is actually kind of great for hot takes. A shocking number of players in the Honda Classic field are capable of both contending and missing the cut by five strokes. The variability of PGA National only adds to this fact. Consequently, we’re left with a decision either to lean into the […]

The PGA TOUR goes from west to east to kick off the Florida Swing this week. They will return to PGA National, which was also the host of the 2020 DFS Open.   The course is quite different from most of what we’ve seen over the last month out west, so we can use those […]
