If you haven’t heard, the Masters is the most predictive tournament on the PGA TOUR. As you read through my narrative, start to select a couple of names that come to mind. By the time we both get to the end of this article, let’s compare notes, put together a winning card, and take home…
At the Valero Texas Open, the proof is really in the results. Six of the last 10 winners have been long shots with pre-tournament odds of +10000 (100-1) or greater. Four of the last five winners earned their first PGA TOUR win in San Antonio. And six of the last seven winners of the tournament…
Congratulations to Fairleigh Dickinson University for winning as a 16-seed over the weekend in March Madness. The historic win over a Purdue team that was favored by 23 points made headlines. I guess that’s great, but the reality is they were +2100 to win. Taylor Moore on the other hand was +7000 at the start…
The 2023 Valspar Championship serves as the last of a series of consecutive PGA tournaments in Florida, then we’re off to Texas for two weeks as we count down to the Masters in just 22 days. The Sunshine State swing has been a brutal lineup of courses and championships. From the Bear Claw to the…
There’s a couple things I can share about the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass others won’t mention in the PLAYERS Championship betting previews. The first key is that I’m writing this in the media center at the PLAYERS. I’ve walked the grounds and the practice tee. For the fourth week in a row, I am…
I hope you read all the way to the end of last week’s betting preview. Chris Kirk was my second outright selection for The Honda Classic. Although I feature one winner pick per week, my outright card always carries a couple more names in Read The Line. Kirk was listed at +2800 in the article…
There’s been a lot of talk about ‘disruption’ in golf over the last 15 months. We hear the word and start repeating it like one of Pavlov’s dogs. It reminds me of people saying gaslight or drip these days to sound pop-culture clever. When a word becomes mainstream, I’m always curious if it’s being used correctly. So, I looked…
I’m walking the practice range at PGA National Resort and Spa watching the world’s best golfers prepare for a very tough test: the 2023 Honda Classic. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the Champion Course serves as one of the toughest non-major courses on the PGA TOUR. Measuring over 7,100 yards, the par-70 layout features 15 holes…
Only three men have won The Genesis Invitational three times; Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Bubba Watson. Believe it or not, if you plan to bet this weekend, I’m here to tell you to be like Bubba!
The WM Phoenix Open is the third-most predictive tournament on the PGA TOUR. The first is the Masters and the second is the Sony Open. The significance of that statement cannot be undervalued. “Most predictive” means that competitors who historically play well at a course will continue to play well there. These horses for courses…
Read The Line predicted 15 outright winners last year.
