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 for this week’s Genesis Invitational. The theory is that outrights, being low […]

The Greenest Show on Grass takes place this week in Phoenix. It’s not the Super Bowl I’m talking about, but the WM Phoenix Open.

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

However, the cut rules are Low 60 and ties which makes it the toughest cut to make in terms of raw percentages (60 divided by 156 is just […]

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 […]
