Handicapping this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions

Below are odds from my model for this week’s event. I have included both the win probability in percentage form as well as the American-style odds. You can use these to compare to a bookmaker’s odds straight up, or you could use them in your […]

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 […]

Analyzing golf skill vs. long and short games
Every week, the most talked about statistics in golf are strokes gained, and in particular, ball striking. 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 […]

DP World Tour Championship — Round 1 showdown
The DP World Tour Championship offers a great opportunity to attack in DFS showdown slates. This event is essentially a giant showdown slate to begin with, considering it’s a no-cut, but we can also gain an advantage in the showdown slates using our course knowledge and projections. We know we can beat the general public […]

Breaking down the course for the DP World Tour Championship
We have made it to the end of the road. This week's DP World Tour Championship on the European Tour is the last major tournament of the 2020 calendar year.  It’s been a strange journey for both the PGA and European tours; makeshift schedules, new courses, new sponsors, co-sanctioned events, and more. The culmination of all of […]
