Sam Burns won the Sanderson Farms Championship last week. Not only was Burns in my top picks to win, but I was 9-5-2 in my singles matchups. This week the Tour comes to Las Vegas for the Shriner's Childrens Open.  Not sure why they dropped 'hospital' from the title... Last week I discussed how The Sanderson Farms Championship is starting to grow on Tour veterans.  The Shriner's Childrens Open is one of the more favorite Tour stops on Tour.   A large subset of the Tour lives in the Palm Beach/Jupiter Florida area, Orlando, Scottsdale, Sea Island Georgia and the Da ..read more

After a move, dealing with virtigo, a job change and some other stuff going on I took some time away from the blog this past season. Now with the 2021-2022 season coming upon us I thought I would re-start the What To Look For posts on the blog with the new feature at looking at the head-to-head matchups features on the bovada.lv Web site. I have grown to get excited about the Sanderson Farms Championship because it's becoming a tournament where veteran players can save their careers and young players can start their careers. The Sanderson Farms Championship is played att Jackson CC.  Mo ..read more

 Justin Thomas won The PLAYERS Championship Thomas was 44th on my list of projected winners.  He has not played up to his standards this year with struggles off the tee and from the Red Zone which is unusual for him.  However he got back to his old ballstriking self on the weekend and came away with the victory. Meanwhile...as the Bryson watch continues...DeChambeau showed some real skill this week on a course that usually neutralizes long hitters.  This was a display of Bryson being patient and utilizing the best strategy for the course by laying up off the tee and tak ..read more

Bryson DeChambeau wins the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill:   DeChambeau was one of my picks to win as he was at 12/1 odds for the week.  I also got the winning score correct.  I was at Bay Hill on Friday and got to see DeChambeau tee off on the famous 6th hole.  There were about 5 rows deep at this hole alone despite the course being far less busy due to COVID restrictions.  For years I wanted to see a player with Long Driving Distance speed and carry to play Bay Hill because of some many of the doglegs but instead they would put those players like Sadlowski ..read more

 Collin Morikawa wins the WGC Workday Championship at The Concession Golf Club: I didn't release picks for the Workday since the Tour had never played there.  But it appeared to be a very heavy approach shot course (I have yet to run the numbers) which is typical for a Nicklaus design.  It also appeared to feature lots of opportunities to make triple bogey or worse. *** This week the Tour comes to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The API is my favorite non-major of the year.  Not only due to it being my 'home tournament' (it's less than 1 mile from my h ..read more

 Daniel Berger won at Pebble Beach last week: Berger was at 14/1 odds to win and his victory marks my first projected winner of 2021, after very close weeks at Waialae, Palm Springs, Torrey Pines and Scottsdale.  A few years ago Berger was one of my 'Players on the Rise' in my annual GolfWRX column, but had an unimpressive season.  It appears that he's finally starting to rise to the projections I had for him. *** This week the Tour heads to Riviera CC in Pacific Palisades for the Genesis Open. This is one of my favorite events on Tour and some year I would like to head ..read more

The Tour comes to Pebble Beach for the ATT Classic:   Due to COVID-19, the Pro-Am will not take place and the event will be played at only Pebble Beach Golf Links and the Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Like many of the multiple course events, the predictive values are a bit low here.  Generally the Tour pros I have talked to like Pebble Beach, but the weather, the schedule and the Pro-Am are not to the liking of a lot of players.  Playing 6+ hour rounds and catching a cold before you hit bigger purse events like Riviera, the Honda Classic, etc. is not appealing.  However, t ..read more

Patrick Reed wins at Torrey Pines last week.   At one point I had picks of Ortiz (125/1), Im (40/1), Hovland (25/1), Finau (18/1), Schauffel (12/1) and Rahm (7/1) all in contention on the weekend. Reed was ranked 38th on my list of likely to win. He has not had an impressive season thus far, hamstrung by awful Yellow Zone (125-175 yards) play (191st) and has been a so-so Red Zone (175-225 yards) player (122nd) along with decent driving off the tee (99th in Driving Effectiveness). But he putted lights out at Palm Springs despite missing the cut and one has to give the guy credit...Ree ..read more

Si-Woo Kim wins the American Express in Palm Springs: Kim's victory was fitting given Palm Springs is one of the most unpredictable stops on Tour and Kim is one of the least predictable players on Tour. But this week the Tour goes to Southern California to play Torrey Pines. Torrey Pines is another split course tournament where each player plays 1 round on the North Course and those that make the cut will play the final two rounds on the South Course. The South Course is where they play when they hold the US Open or PGA Championship at Torrey Pines. It is usually the longest course they ..read more
