BMW Championship 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on August 16, 2022

The FedEx Cup Playoffs head to the second event of three, as the PGA’s best move to Delaware for the BMW Championship at the South Course at Wilmington Country Club.

Never again do we have to refer to Will Zalatoris as the golfer most likely to get his first win. He finally finished atop the leaderboard on Sunday, and now Zalatoris can go about the business of trying to win the Cup.

Of course, the entirety of the Tour’s top players are here, and the BMW Championship will feel as close to a Major as you can get.

Favorites to Win BMW Championship

  • Rory McIlroy (+1000)
  • Jon Rahm (+1200)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+1400)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+1400)
  • Justin Thomas (+1400)
  • Tony Finau (+1400)
  • Matt Fitzpatrick (+1600)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Colin Morikawa (+2000)

Rory McIlroy was not great last week in Memphis, and he failed to make the cut. But this is still Rory McIlroy, and the course in Wilmington matches his strengths perfectly. He is the BMW Championship favorite, and his status is deserved.

Jon Rahn has been fairly absent for the last couple of weeks, but in the opening round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, he led the field in greens in regulation, and he finished on Sunday with a T5.

Will Zalatoris was clear after his win last week that it’s great to have the monkey off his back, but that one win has not satisfied his hunger. Part of that hunger is fueled by just how close he has come in the major championships this season. The other part is how close he is now to winning the end-of-season prize.

BMW Championship

And don’t sleep on Matt Fitzpatrick even though he’s only eighth on the favorites board. The U.S. Open champion was consistently good at the St. Jude last week, going 68-66-67-68.

Others to Consider at the BMW Championship

He’s no longshot, paying +2500, but Sungjae Im does present some good value when you consider that he was a runner-up twice in the last month, and last week he was 12th.

Max Homa is paying +4500, and he’s largely an afterthought this week. But he won the Wells Fargo in May and was T5 at the Memorial in June. He also got off to a great start last week in Memphis – a first round 66 – before he faded at the end.

A true BMW Championship longshot is Keegan Bradley at +7500. But when it comes to similar courses to Wilmington, he’s played well this year. That includes a T7 at the U.S. Open and a T2 at the Wells Fargo.

Pay Per Head Software

So many reasons right now for independent bookmakers to join forces with a top pay per head software provider. The FedEx Cup Finals are next week, another full slate of NFL preseason games is this week, and the baseball pennant races are closing in on the home stretch.

Wyndham Championship 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on August 2, 2022

Wyndham Championship is the 46th and final PGA Tour event of the 2021-2022 season. That’s one final event for players who are looking to keep their playing status for next season and one final event for players to get into the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The Wyndham Championship had proven to be an excellent test in recent years, especially last year when six players all finished 72 holes tied atop the leaderboard. In the six-man playoff that followed, it was Kevin Kisner getting the win.

Favorites to Win Wyndham Championship

  • Sungjae Im (+1400)
  • Shane Lowry (+1600)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1600)
  • Billy Horschel (+2000)
  • Russell Henley (+2200)
  • Webb Simpson (+2200)
  • Corey Conners (+2500)
  • Si Woo Kim (+2500)
  • Adam Scott (+3300)
  • Denny McCarthy (+3300)
  • Joohyung Kim (+3300)
  • Taylor Pendrith (+3300)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (+3300)

Sungjae Im is a deserved favorite. He’s coming off a T2 at the 3M, and in three starts at the Wyndham Championship, he has a pair of top-10s. He’s also been a fast starter here, going as low as 62 in his first round.

Will Zalatoris is still looking for his first victory. He was T6 at the Masters, T4 in New Orleans, second at the PGA, and T2 at the U.S. Open. Surely he can parlay those great finishes in bug events to a win in North Carolina. Of course, we say the same thing every week.

Billy Horschel at +2000 deserves a look because of his history here. He did win at the Memorial this season, but at Sedgefield, he has been brilliant over the years.

His last two starts here are second place and sixth place finishes, and overall he has been in the top-11 four different times. In his career, he has won $1,251,176 just at the Wyndham Championship.

Wyndham Championship

Longer Shots to Consider at Wyndham Championship

J.T. Poston is an excellent play at +4000. He won this event in 2019, and just a month ago, he was T2 at the Travelers and a winner at the John Deere Classic. Two weeks ago, he finished T11 at the 3M Open.

Kevin Kisner, the defending champion, is also paying +4000. He was T6 at the Travelers and T21 at The Open Championship. Along with his win here, he also has three other top-10s, including a third-place finish in 2020.

Davis Riley, all the way down at +5000, was second at the Valspar, T4 in New Orleans, fifth at the Mexico Open, T9 at the Byron Nelson, and T4 at the Charles Schwab.

Pay Per Head Software

We are just one week away from the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The NFL preseason kicks off this week with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Plus, the baseball pennant races get into full swing now that we’re into August.

Rocket Mortgage Classic 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on July 26, 2022

After most of the big names of the PGA Tour took last week off to recover from their trip to Scotland, many of them are back on the course this week for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club.

Last week at the TPC Twin Cities, Tony Finau became just the third betting favorite to win a tournament this year, and he did it with a great comeback in the final round. He trailed by five strokes after 54 holes but ended up winning by four strokes after 72 holes.

Favorite to Win Rocket Mortgage Classic

  • Patrick Cantlay (+1000)
  • Tony Finau (+1400)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1600)
  • Cameron Young (+2000)
  • Max Homa (+2500)
  • Cam Davis (+3300)
  • Keegan Bradley (+3300)
  • Adam Hadwin (+4000)
  • Adam Scott (+4000)
  • Cameron Tringale (+4000)
  • Seven others at (+4000)

Patrick Cantlay sits as the pre-tournament favorite, paying +1000. Since missing the cut at the PGA, he has been on a tear, even if it’s come without a win. He was T3 at the Memorial, T14 at the U.S. Open, T4 at the Scottish Open, and T8 at The Open Championship two weeks ago.

The aforementioned Tony Finau, coming off last week’s win, has a game made for the Detroit Golf Club. He did struggle here in 2020, but his driving accuracy should have him shooting one of the lower numbers for the weekend. To go along with last week’s win, he had a second-place finish at the Canadian Open in June.

And it seems like every week we say that this can be the tournament where Will Zalatoris finally gets his win. Well, wash, rinse, repeat. He has eight top-10s in 2022, he has three runner-ups at major championships, and he’s now ranked 13th in the world. Surely that elusive first win is just around the corner.

Rocket Mortgage Classic

Top Value Plays for Rocket Mortgage Classic

One of the several players at +4000 is Davis Riley, who missed the cut last week in Minnesota but should be in the mix in Michigan. He was fifth at the Mexico Open, T9 at the Byron Nelson, and T4 at the Charles Schwab.

Cameron Champ, at +6000, broke his missed cuts streak with a T16 in Minnesota. He also had a T6 at the Mexico Open and T10 at a little event called the Masters. He’s big off the tee and is a good fit for the course in Detroit, as evidenced by his 12th place finish and final round 66 in 2020.

Pay Per Head Software

After the Rocket Mortgage Classic, there is just one more PGA Tour event before the FedExCup Playoffs begin at the St. Jude Championship. The baseball season is nearing its final third and the heat of pennant race season. The NFL has opened training camps around the league, and we are just a handful of weeks away from preseason NFL football.

Charles Schwab Challenge Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 24, 2022

As some of the golf world collects its breath after a thrilling end to the PGA Championship last weekend, an invitation-only field will play Colonial this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Last week Jordan Spieth referred to the Charles Schwab Challenge course at Southern Hills as, “Colonial, just a little bit on steroids.” So presumably, this will be a more relaxed weekend. It’s also a weekend of golf that most of the Tour is familiar with, as this is the 75th tournament at Colonial – the longest-running PGA Tour event held at the same course.

Favorites to Win Charles Schwab Challenge

  • Justin Thomas (+1100)
  • Jordan Spieth (+1200)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
  • Collin Morikawa (+1800)
  • Will Zalatoris (+2000)
  • Viktor Hovland (+2200)
  • Max Homa (+2800)
  • Sam Burns (+2800)
  • Abraham Ancer (+3300)
  • Daniel Berger (+3300)
  • Sungjae Im (+3300)
  • Tony Finau (+3300)
  • Webb Simpson (+3300)

Apart from shooting a 58, there isn’t much Justin Thomas could do this weekend to top the weekend he just had. But if anyone can get back up and focused for a tournament as the newly minted PGA Champion, it’s a golfer like Thomas. He is the Charles Schwab Challenge favorite, and rightfully so.

Almost no one in the field knows this course better than Jordan Spieth, and no one who knows it well plays it better than him. He won Charles Schwab Challenge in 2016, and he’s been the runner-up at Colonial three other times. He’s also motivated after a disappointing weekend at Southern Hills.

It was unfortunate timing for Scottie Scheffler to show his mortality, but even after missing the cut last week, he is still the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world and a good bet to win every time he tees it up.

And yes, every tournament, we say, “Will Zalatoris is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend,” and my how close we came to being right last weekend. He was just a playoff away from winning the PGA, and he is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend. Really.

Charles Schwab Challenge Betting Preview

Best Value Bets

None of the above favorites will result in a big return for your risk, but Tommy Fleetwood would, at +4000. He’s never played Charles Schwab Challenge before, but he’s coming off a T5 at the PGA, and he was the co-leader on Sunday with a 67.

Mito Pereira is also paying +4000, and all eyes will be on him this week to see how he responds to losing the PGA Championship. His 72nd hole at the PGA wasn’t quite a Jean van de Velde-level meltdown, but losing a major tournament that you were poised to win can leave a mark.

Or, you can turn it into a positive. We shall see with Pereira.

Pay Per Head Software

Every weekend there is golf and NASCAR, the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs roll on, and the Major League Baseball season is now a quarter of the way over. So many sports to bet; independent bookmakers absolutely need a top pay per head software provider to help them stay on top of it all.

AT&T Byron Nelson Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 10, 2022

We have just a week to go before the second major championship of the season, the PGA Championship. But before the best golfers in the world tee off at Southern Hills, there is one more tournament to look at – AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.

The field isn’t as star-studded as next week’s, but seven of the best golfers in the world will be at the AT&T Byron Nelson this weekend, including the top golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, and there is a $9,100,000 prize purse at stake.

Favorites to Win AT&T Byron Nelson Preview

  • Scottie Scheffler (+700)
  • Justin Thomas (+900)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1400)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2200)
  • Sam Burns (+2200)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+3500)
  • Joaquin Niemann (+3500)
  • Seamus Power (+3500)

The only way that Scottie Scheffler isn’t the favorite in any tournament on the schedule is if he doesn’t play. He’s won four of his last six individual tournaments, and he is taking no prisoners in this final tuneup before the PGA Championship. He’s atop the world rankings, and he’s been No. 1 in the FedExCup Standings since the first week of March.

It’s now been 14 months since Justin Thomas won a tournament, but his T8 at the Masters and T3 at the Valspar make him one of the favorites. Thomas will get into the winner’s circle again this year. It’s only a matter of time.

Will Zalatoris lives just up the road in Dallas, and at 19th in the FedExCup Standings, he is the highest-ranked player who is still in search of a first career victory. We’ve been talking about him getting that win for years now, but he’s coming off a T6 at the Masters and a T4 at the Zurich Classic, and we really mean it this time. He is going to win soon.

AT&T Byron Nelson Betting Preview

Best Value Bets

Jason Day is paying +5500, which are longer odds than you would expect for someone with four top-10 finishes at the Byron Nelson, including a win in 2010. He did miss the cut here last year, but his history of playing well at TPC Craig Ranch is enough to consider him a good bet.

Cameron Champ is paying +6500 for a W at AT&T Byron Nelson, which is excellent value for someone who seems to be figuring it all out at the moment. He missed five cuts early in the season, but a T10 at the Masters and a T6 at the Mexico Open makes him one to watch.

You might also want to take a flier on Sung Kang, paying +50000. He’s a member of TPC Craig Ranch and has been playing here for more than a decade. When it comes to AT&T Byron Nelson course familiarity, no one beats him.

The Masters 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on April 4, 2022

It is The Masters week, and as the tradition of golf at Augusta in early April returns, so returns the tradition of finding the golfers who are worthy of your Masters wagers.

The field is currently at 91 after J.J. Spaun won his way to Augusta by taking the Valero Texas Open. And one other not-so-small note about that 91 – it includes Tiger Woods, who has revealed that he may actually play.

More on Tiger in a bit, but first, let’s look at the top favorites in the field.

Favorites to Win The Masters

  • Jon Rahm (+1100)
  • Justin Thomas (+1400)
  • Cameron Smith (+1500)
  • Dustin Johnson (+1600)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+1600)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1800)
  • Collin Morikawa (+1800)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2000)
  • Brooks Koepka (+2000)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2000)
  • Viktor Hovland (+2000)

Jon Rahm has been replaced as the world’s No. 1 player, but he is still the favorite at Augusta because of his recent play here. In his last four Masters appearances, Rahm has finished fourth, T9, T7, and T5.

Scottie Scheffler is the new No. 1 player in the world with three wins in his last five starts, but he is still looking for his first-ever win in a major. In his two previous visits to Augusta, he finished T19 and T18.

Rory McIlroy is just behind Scheffler, and the only hole in his resume is a Green Jacket from Augusta National. His best was a fourth-place finish in 2015. He was also in the top-10 in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020.

Best Value Bets

Will Zalatoris at +4000 deserves a look. He’s only played at Augusta once, but he was the runner-up last year. His lack of a PGA Tour win is why his number is so high.

Matt Fitzpatrick is paying +6600, which makes sense since he’s finished outside the top-20 in his last five starts here. But he did have a T7 in 2016, and why he’s really worth a look is his four top-10 finishes in five PGA starts this year.

And then there is….

The Masters 2022 Betting Preview

Tiger Woods

Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is on the board at +8000, which is the same odds you can get for Tony Finau and Sergio Garcia, even though we’re not sure that Tiger will play. Although the mere fact that him playing is a possibility is a huge story.

According to Woods, he has walked the course at Augusta and the leg that was nearly lost in a serious wreck 14 months ago was able to handle the workload. Woods says that he will continue to work this week, and he will be a “game-time decision” on Thursday.

2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on March 1, 2022

Right now, the PGA Tour is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. And the same can be said for the upcoming tournament, the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Over the last five weeks, we have seen four first-time winners, and yes, that is a very unusual pace. We’ve played eight total tournaments in 2022, and in 2021 a total of 25 tournaments were played before there were four first-time winners.

So looking at the past can only get us so far in predicting who wins each week and who wins this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando.

Favorites to Win Arnold Palmer Invitational

  • Jon Rahm (+750)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1000)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+1600)
  • Viktor Hovland (+1800)
  • Matthew Fitzpatrick (+2000)
  • Sung-Jae Im (+2200)
  • Will Zalatoris (+2500)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2500)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)
  • Marc Leishman (+2800)

As is the case with any tournament that he enters, Jon Rahm is the favorite. He doesn’t have a win in 2022, but the six-time PGA Tour winner has three top-10 finishes this year and has twice finished in the top-five.

It’s Rahm’s first-ever visit to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but Rory McIlroy is making his eighth straight appearance. He won in 2018 and has top-10 finishes in 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Two weeks ago, McIlroy played his first and only tournament of 2022 and finished T10 at the Genesis Invitational.

Third on the board is Scottie Scheffler, one of those four first-time winners we’ve had recently. He won at Phoenix and then followed that up with T7 at Riviera. He played the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2020 and finished 15th.

2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting Preview

Best Value Bets

In the vein of first-time winners, Will Zalatoris is striking the ball well, and most of the golfing world thinks he’s overdue for his first win. He finished T6 at The American Express and second at the Farmers Insurance Open, and most importantly, he is paying +2500.

Adam Scott is paying +3500, and along with that big potential payday, he brings solid play of late and a good history at Bay Hill. He played strong golf at the Genesis two weeks ago, shooting a 66 in the final round and finishing T4. At the Arnold Palmer, he has a pair of third-place finishes, with the first coming in 2004 and the second coming in 2014.

At +5000, take a look at Jason Kokrak. He finished 2021 strong with a win at the Houston Open. He had a T17 at the Sony Open in January and was undone by a tough final round at Riviera. Before the final 18, he was tied for 12th. Last year at the Arnold Palmer, he finished in eighth, which was his fourth top-10 finish at this event.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 1, 2022

After a year away from one of the most fun weekends on the golf calendar, the fans are back at Pebble Beach because the celebrities are also back.

Bill Murray will, of course, headline the event, but a number of other familiar faces will be Pebble Beach, including actors Don Cheadle, Ray Romano, and Alfonso Ribeiro. Returning celebrity athletes include Steve Young and Larry Fitzgerald, as well as first-time participants Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Mookie Betts of the Dodgers.

As much as some people are happy to have the celebrities, many of the top golfers are not. Being paired with an amateur in the cold and wind of the Monterey Peninsula and the long rounds that come with it have chased most of the top golfers to Dubai. Only one top-10 player, Patrick Cantlay, is in this weekend’s field.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Favorites

  • Patrick Cantlay (+650)
  • Daniel Berger (+1100)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1800)
  • Jason Day (+2000)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2000)
  • Cameron Tringale (+2500)
  • Justin Rose (+2500)
  • Maverick McNealy (+2800)
  • Seamus Power (+2800)
  • Lanto Griffin (+3300)
  • Matt Fitzpatrick (+3300)

As the highest-ranking player in the field, Patrick Cantlay is the natural favorite. He has two top-10 finishes in 2022. He finished third at this event in 2021, 11th in 2020, and had a top-10 finish the very first time he teed up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2013.

Perhaps no one is more consistently good at the Pro-Am than Jason Day. Paying more than three times what a Cantlay bet pays, Day has eight top-10 finishes at this event, and he’s been in the top-five in five of his last six starts. He also just finished in third last weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Will Zalatoris, paying +1800, was the runner-up at the Farmers at Torrey Pines, losing in a playoff. The week before at The American Express, he finished tied for sixth. He has not done well at the Pro-Am, finishing 55th last year. But his excellent form in January has him deservedly near the top of the favorites board.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview

Top Value Bets

Maverick McNealy is paying +2800, and considering how he plays at this event, he might be the steal of the tournament. He was the runner-up here last year and tied for fifth the year before that. McNealy also just played three great rounds at Torrey Pines before struggling over the last 18.

Kevin Streelman is paying +5000, and he’s got three top-fives at this event over the last four years, including a runner-up in 2020. Michael Thompson was a top-five finisher at the Sony Open and was 11th last week at Torrey Pines. He’s paying +6600.

Farmers Insurance Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 25, 2022

In a bit of a twist, because the PGA Tour doesn’t want to compete against the NFL, this weekend’s golf tournament at Torrey Pines tees off on Wednesday, with the final round scheduled for Saturday.

PGA Tour president Tyler Dennis thanked the Farmers Insurance Open for its “innovative thinking with this shift in competition days” and applauded the “action-packed weekend for sports fans” that it has helped to create.

Torrey Pines has traditionally been the start of the PGA Tour season on CBS (broadcast home of the AFC Championship Game), and it’s also produced some of the most exciting results anywhere on Tour.

Favorites to Win Farmers Insurance Open

  • Jon Rahm (+700)
  • Justin Rose (+1400)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)
  • Sam Burns (+2200)
  • Daniel Berger (+2200)
  • Dustin Johnson (+2500)
  • Tony Finau (+2500)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+2800)

The tournament is played on the two courses at Torrey Pines, the South and North course, with the South course measuring more than 7,700 yards. The South course is where the tournament will finish, and it’s not only a monster in length but narrow and with deep rough. Being great off the tee is imperative.

Jon Rahm is, of course, the favorite as the No. 1 golfer in the world. But four other members of the top-10 in the world are at Torrey Pines this week – Dustin Johnson (4th), Xander Schauffele (6th), Bryson DeChambeau (9th), and Hideki Matsuyama (10th).

Farmers Insurance Open Betting Preview

There are two challenges for golfers, in that you need to do well on the South course, and not surprisingly, 10 of the last 16 winners here ranked among the leaders in driving distance. But you also need to do well on the North course, because that’s where you can make up strokes on the competition.

Golfers to Watch

Will Zalatoris mania has its roots in how he’s done in the Majors, but he was also seventh at the Farmers a year ago. He is still in search of his first career win, and this might be the place where it happens. He’s paying +3000.

Bryson DeChambeau has the necessary length off the tee, and while he has missed in the cut in his previous two Farmers starts, he does typically do well in California. The native Californian had a strong 54 holes at Torrey Pines at last year’s U.S. Open before fading with a final round 77.

Another golfer who plays well in California is Tony Finau. Last year he was a runner-up at the Farmers, was fourth at The American Express, and runner-up at The Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades. He’s gone top-10 in four of his last five Torrey Pines starts.

Favorites, Darkhorses, and Underdogs for the Wells Fargo Championship

by WagerHome Blog on May 4, 2021

After a cancellation a year ago, the Wells Fargo Championship is back. And while last weekend’s field at the Valspar Championship was a little light on big names, this week at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, 10 of the top 15 golfers in the world will be teeing it up for the $8.1 million purse.

With just two tuneups left before the PGA Championship in South Carolina, the golfing world has descended upon North Carolina to get itself ready.

Odds to Win Wells Fargo Championship

Justin Thomas (+800)

Jon Rahm (+900)

Bryson DeChambeau (+1400)

Xander Schauffele (+1600)

Viktor Hovland (+1800)

Rory McIlroy (+1800)

Webb Simpson (+1800)

Tony Finau (+2500)

Patrick Cantlay (+2800)

Patrick Reed (+2800)

Will Zalatoris (+2800)

Justin Thomas was the betting favorite last week and he ended up tied for 13th. He’s the favorite once again, and now in an even better field, and his +800 number doesn’t justify the risk of placing a bet. 

Rory McIlroy is the course record holder here with his -21 back in 2015. At +1800 he’s among the favorites, but still provides solid betting value. This is also where he won his first ever PGA Tour event back in 2010, and despite his recent struggles, he is a different golfer on this course.

It’s hard not to be a fan of Will Zalatoris after his incredible run at Augusta, and no doubt he is playing well. But if you are looking to bet on Zalatoris at +2800, you really should put that money toward Patrick Reed or Patrick Cantlay, also at +2800. Reed is the seventh ranked golfer in the world and Cantlay is ranked 11th, and both are much better bets to win in a solid field like this.

Wells Fargo – Best Value Underdogs

If you’re looking to bet someone outside the top 10, think about Max Homa and his +3400 payout. He won at this tournament the last time it was played (2019) and was incredible on the greens. He’s also playing well currently, with six top-25 finishes in his last eight tournaments, a win at the Genesis Invitational, and sixth place finish last week at Valspar.

Also, give Keegan Bradley a look. He’s coming off a second place finish at Valspar and two tournaments ago at the Zurich Classic he tied for fourth. And better yet, he’s completely under the radar this week and paying +5000.
