Honda Classic Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 21, 2023

The PGA Tour concluded its west coast swing with an electric appearance by Tiger Woods at Riviera Country Club. He finished well off the lead, but considering this was his first tournament since last July, we’re going to see great things from Tiger before this year is over.

The Tiger Woods magic was also present in the person of Jon Rahm, who continues to dominate the sport in a way not seen since Woods was in his prime. Rahm has won five of his last nine starts, and all nine of those starts have ended with him in the top-10.

Favorites to Win the Honda Classic

Sungjae Im (+850)
Shane Lowry (+1600)
Aaron Wise (+2200)
Alex Noren (+2500)
Chris Kirk (+2500)
Denny McCarthy (+2500)
Matt Kuchar (+2500)
Min Woo Lee (+2500)
Billy Horschel (+2800)

Honda Classic

The PGA Tour heads to Florida for the Honda Classic this weekend, the final Honda Classic to be played. Beginning in 2024 there will be a new title sponsor for this longtime stop on Tour. Part of the reason Honda is pulling out is that because of the schedule, this has become a rest week for most top golfers.

Sungjae Im is the best golfer in the field and the runaway favorite in the field. He missed the cut at PGA National last year, but he was eighth in 2021, and he was the winner here in 2020. Just two weeks ago, he finished T6 at the Phoenix Open, following up a T4 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Shane Lowry is coming off a T14 at the Genesis Invitational, fueled by a final round 68. Last year at this event, he was the runner-up at -9. Lowry, along with Im, are two of the three top-20 golfers in the World Rankings in the field this week.

The third of those top-20 golfers is Billy Horschel, who is off to a rough start this season. He missed the cut at both the Genesis Invitational and Sony Open. His best finish since the calendar flipped to 2023 was a T30 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Horschel has twice finished in the top 10 at this event.

Upcoming PGA Schedule

The course at PGA National is still one of the best on Tour, with 26 different water hazards on the course. But the best golfers in the world are using the shift to the east coast as a chance to rest up for the two big events coming up in March, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

This week the field takes a step back in quality, but in the first two weeks of March, it will be the best field seen outside of a Honda Classic major championship.

Tiger Returns: Woods Set to Tee off in Orlando

by WagerHome Blog on December 14, 2021

When Tiger Woods was involved in his single-car accident last February, there was serious concern that he might never play competitive golf again. It turns out just ten months after the accident; he’s back.

Woods has announced that he will be playing as a father-son team at PNC Championship in Orlando this coming weekend.

“Although it’s been a long and challenging year, I am very excited to close it out by competing in the PNC Championship with my son, Charlie. I’m playing as a Dad and couldn’t be more excited and proud.”

Last year Tiger and Charlie, now 12-years-old, finished seventh in this tournament.

PNC Championship Qualifications

The Father/Son Challenge, now the PNC Championship, is an invitation-only event. Players must have won a major championship or The Players Championship to be eligible. The only requirement regarding the PGA player’s teammate is that they not be a touring professional golfer at the time of the event.

While it has traditionally been PGA Tour professionals teaming up with their sons, last year’s champion, Justin Thomas, played with his father. In 2005 Fuzzy Zoeller played with his daughter, as did Bernhard Langer in 2013 and 2016. And Arnold Palmer played in the tournament in 2013 with his grandson.

Tiger Returns: Woods Set to Tee off in OrlandoWhat’s Next for Tiger?

One of the reasons the PNC Championship is a perfect venue for a Woods return is the relaxed nature of an event that focuses on family. All eyes will be on him and his physical recovery, but the expectations will be muted.

But if Tiger is able to play this weekend, when will we see him in a regular PGA Tour event? That answer is still unknown.

“I’ll put it to you this way. As far as playing at the Tour level, I don’t know when that’s going to happen. Now, I’ll play a round here or there, a little hit-and-giggle. I can do something like that.”

What Woods means by “hit-and-giggle” is the occasional charitable event and individual tournament, like what he’s doing this weekend. He admits that he still feels pain in his leg and ankle, and now at 45-years-old, he has already ruled out a return to full-time golf.

As for the first major of 2022, the Masters, which tees off on April 7, Woods has made no commitments either way. Although he is currently on the Masters betting board, paying +3500 if he wins.

There is, of course, the end of the NFL season and the college football bowl season dominating the betting headlines right now, but the PGA season also continues. Golfers are in Orlando this season, and right after the New Year, they head to The Plantation Course on Maui.

Favorites, Darkhorses, and Betting Picks for the 2021 BMW Championship

by WagerHome Blog on August 24, 2021

The BMW Championship is the penultimate tournament of the 2020-21 season and the final tournament before the PGA Tour Championship. This will be the first time Tour pros will play Caves Valley Golf Club in Owning Mills, MA., and the first tournament in the Baltimore area since 1962.

Jon Rahm is the defending BMW champion after an epic playoff victory over Dustin Johnson at Olympia Fields Country Club outside of Chicago.

This will be the final opportunity for players to get inside the top-30 in the FedEx Cup standings. The tournament winner gets 2,000 FedEx Cup points and $1.71 million of a $9.5 million purse.

The tournament is a 70-man field, minus Patrick Reed, who had to withdraw due to hospitalization for double pneumonia. There is no cut for the event, much like a WGC tournament.

Caves Valley Golf Club is a par-72 track that stretches 7,542 yards. The course opened in 1991 and was designed by Tom Fazio. The course went through some changes over the last 18 months that included lengthening the course, adding and revamping bunkers, and switching the front and back nines.

We will cover the favorites to win the tournament, along with a few darkhorses that have our attention.

PGA Tour preview and tips - BMW Championship | 19th Hole Golf Blog by Your  Golf Travel

The BMW Championship is the penultimate tournament of the 2020-21 season and the final tournament before the PGA Tour Championship. This will be the first time Tour pros will play Caves Valley Golf Club in Owning Mills, MA.

Betting Favorites

Jon Rahm (+550)

Rahm comes to Maryland as the heavy favorite, according to oddsmakers. The #1 player in the world has been a machine this season, finishing in the top 10 in 13 of 20 events highlighted by his first major victory at the U.S. Open in June. He was the 54-hole leader heading into Monday’s final round of the Northern Trust before a pair of late bogeys on the back nine took him out of contention.

Collin Morikawa (+1800)

This year, Collin Morikawa has a pair of victories, including his second major victory at the Open Championship last month. The 24-year old added a WGC win at the end of February and a total of eight top-10 finishes this year. Coming off a rare missed cut, the bargain for Morikawa is too good to pass up here.

Betting Darkhorses

Harris English (+3500)

A pair of victories and eight top-10 finishes have punctuated Harris English’s best season on Tour. In three of his last five starts, English has a victory, third, and fourth-place finish. The 32-year old wrapped up the first tournament of the playoffs with a T31.

Corey Conners (+8000)

A prolific ball-striker, Corey Conners is due for his second PGA Tour victory. The Candian ranks high in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee, SG: Approach the Green, and SG: Tee-to-Green. If Conners can get the putter going this week, he has a great shot to capture his second career PGA victory.

Betting Picks: Morikawa (+1800) and English (+3500)

Wyndham Championship Betting Favorites, Underdogs and Darkhorses

by WagerHome Blog on August 10, 2021

The Wyndham Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour regular season and one final chance for each golfer to gain a berth in the FedEx Cup playoffs and to secure their status for the 2022 PGA season.

It’s a relatively easy course, and the winner of the event this weekend should shoot better than 20-below par, with only two par-fives that are easily reachable. But who exactly does this kind of course favor?

Webb Simpson.

Favorites to Win Wyndham Championship

  • Webb Simpson (+1200)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+1400)
  • Louis Oosthuizen (+1800)
  • Patrick Reed (+2200)
  • Brian Harman (+2800)
  • Will Zalatoris (+2800)
  • Jason Kokrak (+2800)
  • Sungjae Im (+3000)
  • Kevin Kisner (+3300)
  • Russell Henley (+3500)
  • Tommy Fleetwood (+3500)

It’s a little simplistic to say that Webb Simpson is made for the course at Sedgefield Country Club, but he does have a pair of runner-up finishes here and a win 10 years ago. He also has been good with the putter this season, which will be key to getting your number low enough to win. He’s the deserved favorite.

Hideki Matsuyama is second, coming off his showing at the Tokyo Olympics. He missed out on a medal in his home country but was in the seven-player playoff for the bronze medal. His good play in Tokyo combined with his good season on Tour makes him an interesting play this weekend.

Underdogs and Darkhorses

Russell Henley is paying +3500, almost three times what you get for a bet on Simpson. But with a top-20 finish at the U.S. Open, the Travelers, and the John Deere, he’s played very well this summer. Ignore his struggles at The British Open. Henley is a much better putter on the Bermuda grass of Greensboro, and he will be in the mix when the weekend rolls around.

Si-Woo Kim is paying even better at +4000, and he has a win on this course, coming in 2016. He has struggled since The Memorial, which is why he is paying so well here. But this is one of the places where he thrives. Along with that win five years ago are a pair of top-5 finishes in each of the last two years. At +4000, he is simply too solid a play to ignore.

Keep an eye on Jhonattan Vegas at +5000. With the biggest names on Tour over in Japan, he has had quite the run, with four top-20 finishes in five starts and a pair of runner-ups. With most of the big names still missing and Vegas with a top-10 finish here at Sedgefield, give him a look this weekend. He has the game to match this course.

Pay Per Head Software

As the PGA Tour nears playoff action, NASCAR is also heading to the postseason, and the first full week of the NFL preseason kicking off on Thursday now is the time for all independent bookmakers to join forces with a top pay per head software provider.

Open Championship Betting Underdogs and Darkhorses

by WagerHome Blog on July 13, 2021

The Open Championship is back this week after the 2020 major tournament was canceled due to strict travel restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 149th playing of the tournament will be held at Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, England, along the country’s eastern coast. This will be the 15th Open Championship and the first since 2011 teeing it up at Royal St. George’s.

Shane Lowry hoisted the Claret Jug and was named the “Champion Golfer of the World” after a six-shot victory in 2019. Lowry (+8000) was a longshot champion, and there have been four players that have won the Open Championship ranked outside the top 100 since 1996. Two of those winners came on this golf course.

We’ve covered the favorites, so now we’ll look down the board and target some underdogs and dark horses who could bring us a hefty payday with a victory this week.

Betting Underdogs

Both Darren Clarke (2011) and Ben Curtis (2003) were heavy underdogs when they won the Open Championship at this venue. That gives bettors hope that a player down the odds list could take home the Claret Jug.

Christian Bezuidenhout (+7000)

The South African golfer is a three-time winner on the European Tour. Christian Bezuidenhout missed the cut in 2019, his first Open Championship experience, but made the cut in all three majors this season. The 27-year old is the 45th ranked player in the world.

Garrick Higgo (+8000)

Another South African player, Garrick Higgo has flown up the OWGR this year to 40th in the world. Higgo is just 22 years old but already has a three European Tour and PGA Tour victory to his name. This will be his first time teeing it up in an Open Championship.

Betting Darkhorses

Matthew Fitzpatrick (+4000)

Matthew Fitzpatrick lost in a playoff last week at the Scottish Open, so he’s coming into the Open in good form. The 26-year old former U.S. Amateur champion is a six-time winner on the European Tour and logged his best finish in an Open Championship in 2019 (T20).

Lee Westwood (+4500)

Lee Westwood has had a bit of a resurgence of his career this year with a pair of back-to-back second-place finishes at the Players and Arnold Palmer. The veteran golfer has five top-5 finishes at the Open Championship, including a T4 in 2019. The 48-year old finished T35 last week at the Scottish Open.

Jason Kokrak (+8000)

Jason Kokrak has a pair of PGA Tour victories this season and three other top-10 finishes. Kokrak hasn’t had much success in majors this season, but he ranks 15th in Strokes Gained: Total and 4th in SG: Putting and those two numbers cannot be ignored this week.

Open Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on July 12, 2021

Golf fans have their alarms set for an early wake-up time this week as the best golfers in the world tee off in the 149th playing of the Open Championship. Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, England, will host its 15th Open Championship and first since 2011.

Who is the player that is going to host the Claret Jug and be coined the “Champion Golfer of the World”? Shane Lowry is the defending champion after a six-stroke victory two years ago. The 2020 Open Championship was canceled due to travel restrictions in place because of the global pandemic.

The Open Championship will be a fantastic 72-hole event and test the skill of the 156-man event.

Favorites to Win the Open Championship

  • Jon Rahm (+700)
  • Jordan Spieth (+1400)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1800)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1800)
  • Brooks Koepka (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Justin Thomas (+2000)
  • Louis Oosthuizen (+2500)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2500)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+3000)
  • Viktor Hovland (+3000)

Jon Rahm was favored to win the U.S. Open and came through with the first major victory of his career. It is hard to find a golfer who has played better than Rahm this season. The 26-year old has placed T10 or better in 18 events, including T8 or better in three majors, and tallied a solo 7th place finish at the Scottish Open this past weekend.

Royal Porthcawl to host The Open Championship? | 19th Hole Golf Blog by  Your Golf Travel

Royal St. George’s Golf Club will host its 15th Open Championship and first since 2011, as the best golfers in the world tee off in the 149th Open Championship.

Jordan Spieth has quietly snuck up the odds boards in recent days and emerged as the second favorite to win. The 23rd ranked player in the world and 2017 Open Champion has cashed in on all seven of his appearances across the pond with three top-10 finishes.

Three multi-major winners are at +1800, and all are solid bets this week at the Open Championship. Dustin Johnson was a runner-up on this course in 2011 and had a pair of T9s in the event.

Rory McIlroy took home a Claret Jug in 2014 but had a crushing missed cut in 2019 in his native Northern Ireland. Brooks Koepka’s best finish at the Open Championship came in 2019 when he placed T4. The four-time major champion finished T2 at the PGA Championship and T4 at the U.S. Open this year.

Shane Lowry (+800) was a betting longshot when he hoisted the Claret Jug two years ago at Royal Portrush. In 2011 when the tournament last was here, Darren Clarke was a fairy tale victor and another improbable longshot major winner.

Since the Official World Golf Rankings began in 1996, there have been four winners at the Open Championship ranked outside the top-100. Two of those winners came here at Royal St. George’s Golf Club.

U.S. Open Betting Favorites, Darkhorses, and Underdogs

by WagerHome Blog on June 15, 2021

As the golf world descends on San Diego this weekend for the U.S. Open, the biggest question regarding the field at Torrey Pines is who deserves your bet? The favorite, and the man who was just forced to withdraw from a tournament he was leading by six strokes, or the aging local underdog who just so happens to have won the last major championship?

It should be a great 72 holes, assuming this weekend everyone makes it.

Favorites to Win U.S. Open

  • Jon Rahm (+900)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1800)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1800)
  • Brooks Koepka (+1800)
  • Rory McIlroy (+2000)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2000)
  • Xander Schauffele (+2000)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2200)
  • Justin Thomas (+2200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
  • Patrick Reed (+2500)
  • Viktor Hovland (+2500)

A +900 number on Jon Rahm may feel a little short when compared to such a stacked field. But no one is locked in like Rahm. He would have won his last tournament if not for COVID-19. He was top 10 at the PGA Championship. He was tied for fifth place at the Masters — top 10 at THE PLAYERS Championship.

Add in the fact that Rahm has a win at Torrey Pines, and no one else in the field comes into this tournament without big question marks, and Rahm makes for a very compelling favorite.

Three guys sit at +1800, and all of them have a history at the U.S. Open worth considering. Dustin Johnson won in 2016, finished third in 2018, and finished tied for sixth in 2020. Bryson DeChambeau is the defending U.S. Open champion, and Brooks Koepka was the winner in 2017 and 2018.

Masters 2021: Phil Mickelson hasn't stopped believing he'll find more  Augusta magic | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com

He’s a San Diego native and the most recent major championship winner, but at +5000, Phil Mickelson is an underdog. But as an underdog playing good golf and with a number of stars aligning, could he actually win a second straight major over the age of 50?

Underdogs Worth Considering

He’s a San Diego native and the most recent major championship winner, but at +5000, Phil Mickelson is an underdog. But as an underdog playing good golf and with a number of stars aligning, could he actually win a second straight major over the age of 50? Sure. But he probably won’t. The course in South Carolina played to his strengths. Torrey Pines does that less so.

Patrick Reed is tied for 10th on the odds board, so it’s hard to call him an underdog. But at +2500, he presents great value as someone worth a wager. He won at Torrey Pines already this year, was terrific at the Memorial, finishing in fifth, and he has a good history at the U.S. Open. He’s finished inside the top 15 in four of his last six Opens and was a fourth-place finisher in 2018.

One other underdog to consider is Paul Casey at +4500. He finished fourth at the PGA Championship and fifth at THE PLAYERS Championship and at Pebble Beach.

Palmetto Championship at Congaree Betting Favorites, Underdogs, and Darkhorses

by WagerHome Blog on June 8, 2021

Following the stunning developments over the weekend that saw Jon Rahm forced to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament with the third-round lead because of a positive COVID-19 test, the PGA Tour is back in South Carolina with the Palmetto Championship because the RBC Canadian Open has been canceled for the second year in a row because of COVID-19.

So as much as the PGA Tour has hummed along more than a year after the pandemic first hit, the news of the day stands as a reminder that the Tour continues to deal with COVID on a daily basis.

As for this week’s stand-in course, Congaree was more than happy to step up and fill the void as it seeks to find a hosting gig for the President’s Cup in 2022.

Favorites to Win Palmetto Championship

  • Dustin Johnson (+800)
  • Brooks Koepka (+800)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (+1400)
  • Matthew Fitzpatrick (+1800)
  • Sungjae Im (+2000)
  • Tommy Fleetwood (+2500)
  • Harris English (+2800)
  • Ian Poulter (+3500)
  • Lucas Glover (+4000)
  • Brandt Snedeker (+4000)

A week before the U.S. Open and one week after the Memorial would normally mean a field low on big-name talent. Not so this week at the newly contested Palmetto Championship, where local golfer Dustin Johnson, the number one player in the world, will tee it up for one final tune-up before golf’s third major of the season. He is atop the favorites board at +800.

Joining him at the top is Brooks Koepka, making his first start since the PGA Championship. For Koepka, this weekend will be more about golf since his feuding partner Bryson DeChambeau isn’t in the field. DeChambeau has openly complained about the heckling he received last week at Muirfield and Koepka egging it on with his social media posts. It will be interesting to see if there is any blowback on Koepka this week in South Carolina.

The First Look: Palmetto Championship at Congaree

The PGA Tour is back in South Carolina with the Palmetto Championship, as the RBC Canadian Open has been canceled for the second year in a row because of COVID.

Underdogs to Consider

The rest of the field is weaker, meaning the tournament is primed to see someone rise up from the ranks of the dark horses and make a run for the victory.

Alexander Noren is one such possibility, paying +4000. He had the second-best final round of the Memorial, climbing up to 13th at the tournament’s end. He also comes equipped with a strong short game and good distance off the tee, which should play well at Congaree.

Lucas Glover is another +4000 worth considering because of his familiarity with the course. While most of the field has no experience at Congaree, Glover is a Clemson product who has played the course multiple times.

Also, give a look to J.T. Poston, paying +10000. His swing coach is the Director of Golf for the Congaree Foundation, and no doubt he will have all of the pertinent course tips in his caddy’s notes.

Betting Favorites, Underdogs, and Darkhorses for the Memorial Tournament

by WagerHome Blog on June 1, 2021

The PGA Tour heads to Ohio and one of the most prestigious non-major tournaments of the season, the Memorial Tournament. Muirfield Village Golf Club, the site of the Memorial, was designed by the great Jack Nicklaus, and the event is hosted by him each year.

The event is known for its long rough, fast greens and top-flight field.

Favorites to Win 2021 Memorial

  • Jon Rahm (+1000)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1400)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1400)
  • Jordan Spieth (+1600)
  • Justin Thomas (+1600)
  • Viktor Hovland (+1800)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2000)
  • Xander Schauffele (+2000)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
Fans will be permitted at the Memorial Tournament, just not many of them

The PGA Tour heads to Ohio and one of the most prestigious non-major tournaments of the season, the Memorial Tournament.

The top of the favorites board looks like the tournament history page. Jon Rahm, the betting favorite, won this event in 2020. Bryson DeChambeau, tied for second on the board with Rory McIlroy, was the winner here in 2018. And Patrick Cantlay, who rounds out the top 10 favorites, was the Memorial champion in 2019.

Keep an eye on Viktor Hovland at +1800. He has two third-place finishes in his last three tournaments, and he is the Tour’s current scoring leader. If ever there was someone on the cusp of notching his first big win, it’s the 23-year-old Hovland.

Also, take a look at Justin Thomas. He hasn’t been in the top 10 since THE PLAYERS in March, but he’s one of the best iron players in the world, and that is the key to taming any of the Nicklaus courses. He also notched a top 5 at the Memorial as recently as 2017.

Underdogs to Consider

Louis Oosthuizen is paying +3300 in spite of his recent runner-up status at the PGA Championship. He also leads the Tour this season in strokes gained and putting. A golfer as hot as Oosthuizen shouldn’t have such good betting value.

Patrick Reed at +4000 is also a very good value play. He missed the cut last week at Colonial, but Reed actually plays his best golf following a missed cut. He missed the cut at The American Express in January, then won the very next week at Torrey Pines. He also missed the cut at the Valspar, then finished tied for sixth the next week at the Wells Fargo.

He also has been in the top 10 in two of his last four tournaments at Muirfield.

At 44-years-old and paying +5000, it’s easy to ignore Charley Hoffman. Although when you considered just a week ago, he finished tied for third at Colonial, and a month before that, he was second at the Valero Texas Open, and he’s been in the top 20 for six straight tournaments, that +5000 looks very enticing.

AT&T Byron Nelson Favorites, Dark Horses, and Underdogs

by WagerHome Blog on May 10, 2021

Here’s a brief piece on the 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson Favorites, Dark Horses, and Underdogs. A year off the schedule because of COVID-19, the AT&T Byron Nelson returns in 2021 in a new home, the TPC Craig Ranch, just north of Dallas, Texas.

  • Jon Rahm (+1000)
  • Jordan Spieth (+1200)
  • Daniel Berger (+1800)

World No. 1 Dustin Johnson leads the field at the Byron Nelson, and even though he hasn’t finished in the top 10 since back in February, he is the favorite to win here. He’s currently ninth in driving distance and seventh in scoring average, so the play has been what you expect from the 2020 Masters champion. But his last time out at the Valspar Championship, DJ finished tied for 48th.

Bryson DeChambeau appeared to turn the corner last week after a rough patch that saw him finish tied for 46th at the Masters. He finished in the top 10 at the Wells Fargo Championship after thinking he’d missed the cut on Friday and actually leaving town. He then took a red-eye flight back to Charlotte, made his tee time on Saturday, and put together his two best rounds – back-to-back 68s – since October.

It’s been four weeks since Hideki Matsuyama won the Masters and four weeks of being celebrated as the conquering hero back in Japan. His month even included being the guest of honor for the Prime Minister of Japan.

He is now back in the U.S. and getting in a final tournament before trying to win a second consecutive major.
Underdogs With Value

The eyes of the golf world have been on Will Zalatoris (+2800) since his runner-up finish at the Masters, and this might be the week he gets his first win. He’s a Dallas native and first played in the Byron Nelson back in 2018.

Aaron Wise (+6600) is another under-the-radar golfer coming into the weekend playing good golf. He was a top 10 finisher at the Wells Fargo Championship and saved his best rounds for Saturday and Sunday. He has two top 10 finishes, five finishes in the top 25, and he won the Byron Nelson back in 2018.

Sung Kang (+35000) beat a somewhat weak field when he won the Byron Nelson in 2019. It’s a new course, so most previous Byron Nelson results are hard to judge. But Kang is a member at TPC Craig Ranch and knows the course better than anyone in the field.

There are other golfers out there who might make a buzz in the tournament, so don’t be surprised if one gets ahead of the pack.
