PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2024 Sony Open
It takes a special kind of crazy to be good at PGA DFS. It is perhaps the most volatile of all the major sports, there’s little correlation to take advantage of and we only get six roster spots for each lineup. Consequently, to gain an edge over our competition we have to be bold – […]

2024 Sony Open Betting Preview
As I sit here on the first real snow day of the season in Iowa, I found myself wishing I was in Hawaii like the 144 golfers getting prepped for the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club. Then I go to check the forecast at Waialae and see flooding nearby at the Monday Qualifier and […]

PGA Betting Course Fit and Stats: 2024 Sony Open
For years, the course fit model has been my biggest weapon in both DFS and betting. For example, last season it fueled over 200 units won on outright bets alone. The edge is strong, but why? To understand the power of the course fit model, you first must understand the difference between predictive analysis and […]

PGA Outright Betting – The Essential Role of Variance
We often think of variance as the enemy of projections in sports. When a player has a surprising game, was the projection bad, or was the result just a product of variance? Golf is no different. Players shock us all the time with how well or how poorly they play. However, if we can reliably […]

2023 Mauritius Open Betting Preview
The DP World Tour heads to Mauritius this week to unveil a new course, La Reserve Golf Links at Heritage Golf Club. The course is co-designed by Peter Matkovich and last week’s winner Louis Oosthuizen. La Reserve reminds me a bit of a course we saw recently, Albany in the Bahamas. Both coastal courses look […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Hero World Challenge
Tiger Woods and 19 of his friends will take on Albany in the Bahamas at this week’s Hero World Challenge. It’s a tiny field with no cutline to consider. With that small of a field, it puts a premium on game theory because jamming in the six “best” picks will lead to an extra-large helping […]

The PGA Tour wraps up their 2023 campaign this week with a trip to Sea Island Golf Club. It’s the RSM Classic and it’s attracted a relatively strong field, at least compared to last week. It’s still lacking star power, but there are a lot of “semi stars” in the field this week, just no […]
