Course Notes and Quotes: Torrey Pines
Heading to San Diego this week, it’s the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. We have another multi-course event with golfers seeing the North Course once and the South Course (host) once before a 36-hole cut is made. The North Course is an easy track and would fit in well with last week’s course […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 American Express
Every week — like at this week’s American Express — a crucial part of success in PGA DFS GPPs will be hitting on lower-rostered/lower-salary golfers. Golf is a unique DFS sport in that all the golfers have the same opportunity to score. There are no starters, bench players, role players, third-down backs, etc. The golfer […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 American Express
The PGA Tour heads to the Coachella Valley for this week’s American Express. It’s an event played alongside amateur pro-am partners and a 54-hole cut. That will likely lead to more people taking a Stars & Scrubs approach. I still prefer a relatively balanced build with one $10k star, another in the tier below, and […]

2023 American Express 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 […]

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 […]

PGA PrizePicks for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions
PrizePicks offers a different way to play fantasy sports than simply building a lineup of different golfers on a salary. There are different categories of props and matchups, which are not often offered anywhere else. PrizePicks has birdie matchups, fairways hit, greens in regulation, score and occasionally scoring on set holes on the course. […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions
The PGA Tour is back in action this week in Hawaii. I thought we’d get a nice laidback week to restart the golf season, but Xander Schauffele had other plans, withdrawing from the pro-am to provide another wrinkle to open the year. With a small field of just 39 golfers, I’m focusing more on leverage […]

Course Notes and Quotes: Albany
The PGA TOUR has shut it down for the holidays, but Tiger Woods has his annual event in the Bahamas, the Hero World Challenge. The event is a limited field (20 golfers) and does not reward any FedExCup points (it does give OWGR points). With just 20 golfers in the field, it doesn’t give […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 RSM Classic
The PGA Tour caps off the fall schedule with a trip to Sea Island. These courses look pretty similar to what we saw before last week’s mash-it course in Houston.

Back-to-back outright hits! Can we make it three in a row? Betting possibilities are endless in PGA, but my focus is on outrights.
