2021 American Express betting card preview
The PGA Tour heads east from Hawaii to California for this week's American Express at PGA West. This event changes its name like I change my underwear, so if you're looking at past events, this could be the Desert Classic, CareerBuilder Challenge, or the Bob Hope Classic. This year's American Express has a new wrinkle, […]

FanDuel DFS plays for the 2021 American Express
Welcome back, FTN family! This week’s tournament, The American Express, is typically a three-course rotation. However, as we navigate our way through the changes of the 2021 schedule, it will have a different format than we are used to.

The 2021 American Express betting preview
This week’s PGA Tour tournament preview takes us to California for the American Express. You read that correctly, there is no formal “open/tournament/shoot-out/etc”, just the American Express. It’s awful, like this tournament can often be. However, the amateur portion of this event has been canceled this year turning this normal snooze fest into potential solid […]

FanDuel DFS plays for the Sony Open
Welcome back for another week in paradise, as the PGA Tour plays its second of two season-opening events in Hawaii: the Sony Open. A majority of the golfers who played in last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions are back this week, including Harris English. With back-to-back events in Hawaii, it only makes sense that most […]

Sony Open betting card preview
The second week of the 2021 season keeps us in Hawaii, this time at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu for the season's first full-field event, the Sony Open. As you've likely heard, playing on Maui in the Tournament of Champions the week before the Sony Open has been a strong predictor of success. Course experience matters […]

The 2021 PGA Tour season is finally underway. The chart below is a full ranking of golfers for season-long fantasy purposes. With the PGA Tour's priority ranking being a little bit different this year, I have adjusted the ranks to suit which golfers have a clear path to starts. If you see a number next […]

Betting 101: Bankroll management and staking golf wagers
I wanted to write something to explain expectations of following along with golf wagering, and this could be helpful for your wagering in other sports as well. You could be great at picking winners in any sport, but if you’re terrible at managing your money, you will end up losing. Downturns are an inevitable part […]

Analyzing variance in putting on the PGA Tour
This week, I would like to see if there is any predictability in putting when breaking it down by five-foot increments. Last week, I introduced a basic breakdown showing how ball striking and short game relates to a golfer’s skill. We saw that although ball-striking made up more of the composition, the short game still played […]

If you’re not familiar with strokes gained, the PGA Tour describes in depth how it is calculated here.

Betting 101: Why you should convert American odds to win probability
This is a lesson that can be used across all sports for many different reasons, but I’m going to go over why I think it’s especially important when wagering on golf outrights. I’ve written a lot recently about finding edges and what to do with those edges once you find them. Your wagering amount should […]
