PGA DFS 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 DFS Hot Takes for the 2024 Sentry
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 – […]

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 […]

DraftKings is featuring the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational as their one and only golf DFS event this week. It’s a mixed team event featuring 16 two-person teams comprising of one PGA golfer and one LPGA golfer. A few years ago, DK wouldn’t have bothered touching an event like this with various scoring formats, but now […]

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 Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Joburg Open
The DP World Tour is kicking off their new season with two events. The Australian PGA Championship has the stronger of the DFS fields this week, but DraftKings chose the Joburg Open, so I will follow the DFS trail of money and break down that weak-field event at Houghton Golf Club.

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 RSM Classic
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 […]

The FedEx Fall pushes on this week as the PGA Tour heads to Port Royal Golf Course for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

The PGA Tour travels to Asia this week for the Zozo Championship in Japan. For DFS purposes, we need to note that it’s a limited field of just 78 golfers, and all of them will be guaranteed four rounds of action unless they withdraw. Does that mean we need to punt the last spot or […]
