The Model Maniac

174 articles

A South African native living the American dream. I played college golf in Iowa where I spent four years playing and two coaching, while grabbing 3.5 finance related degrees along the way. As my twitter handle suggests, I am obsessed with my very own excel model. Tournament long matchups are my favorite bet and I love nothing more than a Sunday golf sweat.

Tyrrell Hatton Gaining Popularity With Good Course History

Tyrrell Hatton's only two top-10s on the PGA Tour came at the first and last regular season events he played in. Hatton has been rather disappointing this year not managing to put himself in contention enough. Hatton is trending towards being one of the more popular players in the $8K range, which is full of […]


Collin Morikawa A Fade At Non-Majors

Collin Morikawa averaged +0.52 strokes on and around the greens in the four 2022 majors. In the 39 non-major rounds with strokes gained data, he is averaging -0.52, which is a full shot per round worse. Although he is one of the best iron players in the world, major or non-major, this short game deficiency […]


Matt Fitzpatrick A Popular Play

After gaining +5.75 strokes on approach at the U.S. Open, Matt Fitzpatrick has averaged -0.44 on approach in his 20 rounds since. However, he still had finishes of T6, T21, T5, T48, and T15 over that span. He has one of the most well-rounded games on tour and will look to lean on his exceptionally […]

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 Golf Bets for the ZOZO Championship

Tom Kim! He has done it again, winning in back-to-back regular season starts. What an incredible performance from the youngster, who plays with poised passion that makes him incredibly easy to cheer for. He went bogey free all week and announced that he is going to be a contender on the PGA Tour for some […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
