As it usually does, this event has drawn another strong field which includes World #1 Jon Rahm and six of the World's Top 10 golfers. TPC Scottsdale is an average length(7,261 yards) Par 71 set in the Arizona desert which comes into play almost every hole with native areas lurking not far from the fairways. While hitting the fairway is always important in giving yourself consistent shots at hitting greens and making birdies, it is the approach shot that has the highest correlation in my research and leads the way in my ball striking model. Par 4 scoring is also about double that of par 5 scoring as there is only three Par 5's on this course. Overall, there are always different ways to win a golf tournament and it comes down to who checks the most boxes mixed with a little luck. Let's get into the picks. Top Targets Justin Thomas/Jon Rahm They are in a tier of their own this week checking every box and while I will exposure to both, I am slightly leaning JT who could give us some leverage this week in terms of ownership. Neither have won here in 13 combined appearances but both have excellent course history. Rahm has not only made the cut all six times but he has also not finished worse than T16 while JT has...

The Courses PGA West TPC Stadium Course Par 72 - 7,113 Yards PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course Par 72 - 7,159 Yards La Quinta Country Club Par 72 - 7,060 Yards Previous Five Winners 2021 - Si Woo Kim(-23) 2020 - Andrew Landry(-26) 2019 - Adam Long(-26) 2018 - Jon Rahm(-22) 2017 - Hudson Swafford(-20) After a couple Hawaii events to kick off 2022, the PGA Tour now heads back to the mainland for the California swing. It starts this week with the American Express which is back to a three-course rotation this year. That means each player in the field will play one round on each of PGA West Stadium Course, PGA West Nicklaus Course, and La Quinta Country Club Thursday through Saturday. Those who make the cut(Top 65 & ties) will then play the final round on the PGA West Stadium Course. All three courses are Par 72's under 7,200 yards and all have ranked outside the Top 30 in difficulty in each of the last five years. The course I will concentrate on for my stats model this week will be the Stadium Course which will be used twice including the final round. It is a Pete Dye design so ball-striking is once again at a premium with emphasis on hitting fairways off the tee and hitting the below-average-sized greens. In general, I don't really narrow my player pool down based on the order they play the three courses for the full-tourney contests but one narrative that gets thrown around is playing the Stadium Course in Round 3 as to play it on back-to-back days. Do with that what you will. As for the weather forecast, we will have to monitor leading up to lock but as of now, Saturday looks to be very window all day while the other three days appear calm...

The field got a little weaker on Monday with Bryson DeChambeau dropping out with wrist soreness. With that, the field is led by last week's winner Cameron Smith who joined a shortlist of players who have won both Hawaii events(Furyk, Els, Singh, ZJ, JT) and also broke into the OWGR Top 10 for the first time in his young career. The host course, as it has been since the inaugural event back in 1971, is Waialae Country Club. It will be a much different test than last week in that we move from a Par 73 with wide fairways and some of the largest greens on Tour to a Par 70 with tight fairways that include several doglegs and average-sized greens. It's very much a positioning style golf course and for that I will rely heavily on Strokes Gained: Ball Striking in my model. The second stat I will be looking at in my model this week is Par 4 scoring which becomes a focus on a Par 70 with just two Par 5's. Looking at last year, it also had an extremely high correlation to success. Finally, the other main stat in my model is Birdie or Better % as the winning score has averaged right around -20 which even includes the very windy 2020 event in which Cameron Smith won. This year's forecast looks very similar to last week which saw winds...

While I did enjoy the break, in a sport that has very few of them, I am so ready for the 2022 portion of the PGA Tour season. Got my season-long industry draft done, one and done's ready to roll, and it's now time to kick it off(sorry still got NFL in my head). The year starts with a celebration of 39 winners from last season as they all meet in Kapalua for the annual Tournament of Champions. It is a bit of a laid-back extension of the holiday season for some and no better way to get started than a birdie fest in Hawaii. The fairways at the Plantation Course are huge which have generated a 79% driving accuracy average over the last five years. This combined with monster-sized greens has me automatically relying on Strokes Gained: Approach as my top stat in my model. It's definitely not the only way to skin the cat, however, as Harris English hoisted the hardware last year on the back of a monster putting performance(+6.8 strokes). Finally, this is a no-cut event meaning all golfers will play all four rounds, and with a limited field, a stars and scrub build will be very popular. The "scrubs" aren't really scrubs when we are talking about a select group of players who won on Tour last season. No matter what direction you head, you are going to need birdies and lots of them as the winning score has been in the minus 20's in six of the last...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Welcome back golf fans. The final regular event of the 2021 calendar year takes the PGA Tour to Sea Island, Georgia for the RSM Classic. Much like the other fall events, we get a weaker field this week with just one player(Louis Oosthuizen) ranked inside the Top 10(#9) and just 13 inside the Top of the World Golf Rankings. We also get back to a multi-course rotation this week at Sea Island Resort with golfers playing one round at each of the Seaside and Plantation courses on Thursday and Friday. Those golfers who make the cut(Top 65 & ties) will then play the final two rounds on the Seaside course. This is where most of my focus will be when setting up my stats model this week. The Seaside Course is a Par 70 with just two Par 5's so I will be heavy on Par 4 scoring and mid-iron approaches with nine of the 11 falling between 400 and 450 yards. You are also going to need a ton of birdies from your golfers as the winning score has been in the high teens consistently year after year. With that said, take a peak at the courses and previous winners below and then let's get into the picks. The Courses **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2021 → Robert Streb(-19) 2020 → Tyler Duncan(-19) 2019 → Charles Howell III(-19) 2018 → Austin Cook(-21) 2017 → Mackenzie Hughes(-17) Top Tier Targets Cameron Smith World Golf Ranking (#23) Vegas Odds (18/1) Draftkings ($10,300) FanDuel ($11,800) Smith is making his first trip to the RSM Classic but comes in with good form with a T9 at the CJ Cup and T15 at the Houston Open to open the season. The excellent play goes all the back to July, as...

The Course Memorial Park Golf Course Par 70 - 7, 432 Yards Greens - Bermuda **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** This week the PGA Tour returns to the US of A for the Houston Open and for the second season in a row, will be held at the Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas. Last season marked the first time the course had been used on Tour since the 60's and it was Carlos Ortiz hoisting the trophy with a winning score of -13. This year's field is led by Brooks Koepka who is coming off a missed cut in Mexico and hasn't tallied a Top 10 since the OPEN Championship back in July. I wouldn't count him out, however, as he tallied a Top 5 here last year and was a consultant to Tom Doak in the renovation of the course before last year's event. We only have a one-year sample size to try and build a stats model off of but one thing was clear, there were different ways to get it done. For instance, winner Carlos Ortiz was 43rd off the tee and 16th on approach but was Top 5 in both around the green and putting. Sam Burns finished T7 af89ter leading the field in ball striking but finishing 59th around the green and 89th putting. Brooks himself finished T5 and while he struggled with the irons(83rd), was 6th off the tee and 2nd putting. My top stat this week will be Strokes Gained: Approach but will be looking at it in multiple different ways. I do want a player who is trending with their irons overall but with three of the five par 3's in the 200+ yard range and five of the par 4's coming in at 490 or more yards, I will...
