The Players Championship: Rahm’s Past Could be Key at TPC Sawgrass

The PGA Tour tees off at one of its marquee events — The Players Championship — which begins first-round play at TPC Sawgrass on Thursday. The tournament regularly attracts one of the best fields of a non-major event, this year featuring 47 of the world’s top-50 ranked golfers. One noticeable […]

Can Brooks Koepka Find His Form Before The Masters?

Brooks Koepka had a short, profane, and possibly costly remark when asked about the state of his golf game last Sunday. “Still s***. Still s***.

The PGA Champions Tour is in Southern California this week at the Hoag Classic at Newport Beach Country Club. The golf course is a classic layout and one of the shorter tracks that golfers face all year. The lack of length, however, shouldn’t be confused for being a pushover. A […]

One Bet, $100: Rory McIlroy is Ready to Win

Three times this year, Rory McIlroy has been the favorite going into a tournament, and come up short. It might make some skittish on betting on the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer. Not me, however. I have a feeling the Arnold Palmer Invitational is where the Irishman gets his first […]

PGA Tour Favorites Failing Bettors Early in 2020

When it comes to betting on golf, wagering on PGA Tour favorites thus far has been a losing proposition. Of the 10 events in 2020, only one of the favorites has cashed. That was Viktor Hovland in the Puerto Rico Open, a second-tier tournament the same week as the WGC-Mexico […]

Golf Notes: Wins for Patrick Reed, Viktor Hovland Signal Returns to Form

Backing last week’s PGA Tour winners, Patrick Reed and Viktor Hovland, was difficult for different reasons, but it might be time to think about wagering on them more often. The two golfers won the two PGA Tour events last week, and each paid bettors well. Reed won the WGC-Mexico Championship, […]

Puerto Rico Open: Back McNealy, Brown; Fade Hovland, Noren

The consolation prize for not qualifying for the WGC-Mexico Championship is the Puerto Rico Open. The second-tier PGA Tour event is played at Coco Beach Golf & Country Club, and gives some lesser-known pros the chance to improve their status, opening the door into more events. Though most of the […]
