Cameron Young Looking To Get Back To Old Self

Cameron Young enters the week as the third-best ball striker over the last 24 rounds. Although he ended the season losing just under half a stroke per round on the greens, we can expect an improved putting performance after some time off to work on areas of concern. He had seven top-3s in his 25 […]

Viktor Hovland Chipping Away At Short Game

Viktor Hovland's short game is starting to look like the chip off the old 2021 season, where he was neutral around greens (-0.03), which is sadly the best season he has had around the greens as a professional. He has gained six total strokes in his 20 rounds since The Open Championship, with T35 his […]

Tom Kim Looking To Win Third Straight Regular Season Start

The Wyndham Championship and Shriners Children's Open are the last two regular season events that Tom Kim has played in and won. His precision off the tee and immaculate long iron play should have Kim right at the top of the leaderboard once again. If he can manage the extracurriculars of his win last week, […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Shriners Children's Open

Sepp Straka has been lucky enough to be the first to congratulate both Will Zalatoris and Mackenzie Hughes after their playoff victories ... against him. But, he seems to be playing much better golf lately and it will not be surprising to see him win another event this year. We still only have two events […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Sanderson Farms Championship

It has been a hot minute since we last put together a Breaking $100 article, but the Sanderson Farms Championship has changed that this week. It is the second event of the new season and fall swing, which brings with it both opportunities and challenges in the betting market. I have found it challenging to […]

Presidents Cup Cheat Sheet and Matchup Calculator

With very little actionable information to go off of before pairings were announced, we only made two bets in the prop market. The rest of money will come in the form of matchup bets throughout the week. The American team is absolutely stacked and finding any sort of value in the matchup market is going […]

PGA DFS and Betting Outlooks for The "Korn Ferry Fifty" - A Statistical Deep Dive

I have worked tirelessly to compile a database of Korn Ferry Tour data mixed together with PGA and DP World Tour data to help better analyze each golfer's statistical profile at a more detailed level. KFT data is extremely limited, so we have done our best to use it as advantageously as we could. This […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - BMW Championship

It was a weird article last week, with major news on Cam Smith hitting the airwaves shortly after publishing the article. He managed to ignore most outside noise of his imminent departure to LIV and strolled into Sunday as the betting favorite...before getting a two-shot penalty assessed for an improper drop on Saturday, all but […]

Tom Kim Gaining On Approach In 15 Consecutive Rounds

Tom Kim has gained strokes on approach in 15 consecutive rounds, gaining 1.4 strokes per round. He has below-average distance off the tee, but since playing on Tour this year, he has averaged a quarter of a stroke off the tee while leading this field in accuracy. His incredibly consistent ball-striking has seen him finish […]

Denny McCarthy Continues To Be High-Risk, High-Reward

At $7,000, Denny McCarthy has four top-20 finishes and three missed cuts in his last seven starts. His volatile approach play, complemented by a putter that has gained just shy of 100 strokes this year, makes McCarthy an intriguing cheaper option. He played over-par golf last weekend and still managed to finish T20 as a […]

Sam Burns Eyeing Fourth Win Of Season

At a course that will favor length, accurate short irons and great bent-grass putters, Sam Burns has an advantage. His driver has been a little errant lately, but the rest of his game suits this course well and he is going relatively under-owned in his price range. Burns has won three times this season, with […]

Sungje Im Offers Discounted Upside

Sungjae Im enters the week with back-to-back second-place finishes and a T12. Since his return from The Open, he has averaged 2.73 strokes gained per round, striking the ball exceptionally while spiking with his putter. He finds himself at a slightly steeper price than public favorite Cameron Young, making him an ideal pivot at half […]

Tyrrell Hatton Has Putting Upside

Tyrrell Hatton is understandably low-owned in fantasy, as his top-10 finish at the Wyndham two weeks ago was his first top-10 result since March. Hatton has typically thrived on courses with longer approach shots, which makes his recent improvements on approach tough to trust heading to a course where he will find himself in proximity […]

Jon Rahm Lacking Upside Relative To Ownership

Jon Rahm enters the week with the sixth-worst long-term proximity numbers from 100-150 yards, where a player with his length on this golf course will find himself the majority of the time. He is currently projected as one of the highest-owned players in DFS, with others around him who are relatively less-owned offering much more […]

Aaron Wise Waiting On Broomstick To Return

Aaron Wise has been striking the ball tremendously and this week's success will hinge on his putter. Wise has been losing on the greens for the last two months, but prior to that he gained a third of a stroke putting in the three months leading up to the U.S. Open. His putting on all […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - FedEx St. Jude Championship

The Tom Kim train steamed into the station on Sunday, blitzing the field with a 61 in his final round. We were lucky enough to bet him when his putter roasted the Sedgefield greens, but golf is a weird sport and when things like that happen, we enjoy them as we have been on the […]

Joohyung “Tom” Kim Peaking Heading Into Playoffs

After winning his first PGA Tour event last week, Tom Kim has secured himself a spot in the playoffs and as a regular tour member for the foreseeable future. His accuracy off the tee will once again come to his aid at a course with penal Bermuda rough. Although he did most of his damage […]

Denny McCarthy A High-Risk, High-Reward Play This Week

After rattling off three top-10 finishes in four starts, Denny McCarthy has missed three of his last four cuts. His putter and around-the-green game have betrayed him in the majority of those missed cuts, which are both areas of his game that he typically relies on. McCarthy will be looking to bounce back at a […]

Aaron Wise Struggling On Approach

After an incredible run of approach play in the first half of the year, Aaron Wise has lost strokes on approach in three of his last four starts. At a course that emphasizes the importance of approach play, Wise enters the week with skeptical form in that department. He has been driving the ball with […]

Sam Burns Relying On Red Hot Putter

Sam Burns returns to TPC Southwind where he lost in a playoff last year. Since the US Open, Burns has averaged -0.23 strokes off the tee in 14 rounds. What appears to be a concern, may not be that big of an issue as he lost -2.77 strokes off the tee here last year, salvaging […]
