It took an extra day due to Hurricane Henri, but the playoff field has been cut to 70 golfers, and it won’t even be that many with Patrick Reed catching double pneumonia. This is the final stop before the Tour Championship next week, and a lot will be riding on the outcome, because the payouts next week, just for making the field, are outrageous.

If a golfer needs the points this week or over the next few weeks, you would think they would be mentally sharp. However, just like a team in another sport that “has to win” to reach the playoffs, but comes up flat for reasons unknown, the same can happen to a top-flight golf professional.

by Doug Upstone - 5/18/2021

With the Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open having worldwide appeal, the PGA Championship is a distant fourth on anyone’s major list. However, golf fans love their favorites along with a newcomer. This tournament provides this regularly. For every Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods, and Nick Price who have won at least two times in this event, we have a Jimmy Walker, Jason Dufner, Shaun Micheel, and Rich Beem who captured the sport’s attention over four days and then for the most part returned to obscurity.

by Doug Upstone - 5/11/2021

The tournament has several new elements to it. First, there has been a course change to TPC Craig Ranch, where this event is guaranteed to be held the next five years. Next, the Byron Nelson is now the week before the PGA Championship, which likely caused trepidation, wondering what kind of field they would draw on a new course and who would want to tune up their game. Fortunately, it worked out for this event, as many of the top players wanted to sharpen the skills one last time before heading to the Kiawah Island Golf Resort next week.

However, there are five par-3’s, and all of them are at least 195 yards in length. If the wind is up, this gets tricky, for this tight tree-lined layout.

Zurich Classic of New Orleans Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Doug Upstone - 4/20/2021

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans has been around since the invention of the ballpoint pen (1938). This event was altered in 2017 to match the bayou lifestyle and offer something a little bit different with pizazz. This tourney now is a team-based format, and there are 80 teams of two teeing it up Thursday. In rounds one and three (Thursday – Saturday), the pros will play a four-ball (best ball). In rounds two and four (Friday – Sunday) they will use the foursomes (alternate shot) format. The top 35 teams (and ties) after 36 holes will make it through the cut line.

RBC Heritage Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Doug Upstone - 4/13/2021

With the Masters in the books as the first major of the year, the PGA Tour returns to a familiar spot at Hilton Head in South Carolina for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. Harbour Tour is not a particularly long course (7,121 yards Par 71), yet it has ample character. Throughout the first three-quarters of the course are tree-lined holes and plenty of doglegs. Because of the height of the trees, it makes it nearly impossible for even professional golfers to try and cut down on the length of certain holes.

by Chris Vasile - 4/6/2021

They want faster Internet, faster commutes to work, faster cars, faster ways to consume content, and faster ways to cash the bets they make. If you are one of those people who wants everything to be done fast, I don’t believe golf is the sport for you to be wagering on. Unless of course, you are open to the idea of dabbling on some prop bets for the upcoming Masters tournament.

2021 Masters Betting Trends and Handicapping Advice
by Chris Vasile - 4/6/2021

We are less than one week away from the 2021 Masters golf tournament, and to say I am excited would be an understatement. To me, the Masters is synonymous with the beginning of spring as it takes place on the first weekend in April and everything just seems right in the world for the few days we get to watch the world’s best golfers take on the beautiful backdrop that is Augusta National. This year’s tournament has a bit of a different buzz surrounding it as a select number of patrons will be in attendance to cheer on their favorite golfers.

2021 Masters Golf Odds with Expert Betting Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 4/5/2021

We are now less than one week away from the 2021 U.S. Masters Tournament. What makes this year’s tournament so exciting is the fact that patrons will be in attendance for this year’s tournament, giving it back some of the aura that last year’s edition was missing. Another thing I’m looking forward to seeing this year is how the tournament plays out. With last year’s Masters being held in November, the course played far different than we were used to seeing. It’ll be interesting to see if the move back to April and warmer weather help some of the longer hitters who struggled in November.
