Grip it n' rip it The PGA Tour's last stop this week in the form of the Children Miracle Network Classic, previously known as the Funai classic. As the golf betting season draws to a close, some players have 1 last chance to retain their cards this week at the Childrens Miracle Network and prepare yourself for a birdie shootout to earn those rights. Last year Davis love took down the Children's Miracle golf event with a whopping -25 under par finishing Walt Disney's Magnolia course with 2 64's. "Bombing" is the name of the game in this event and this week's golf picks and tips will be focused mainly on length from the tee and birdie making... click link for Childrens Miracle Network classic preview/picks

The Children's Miracle will be played on 2 courses at the Walt Disney resort - the Magnolia course and the Palm course. You couldn't get 2 dissimilar courses. 3 rounds will be played on the Magnolia which is over 7,500 yards long with pretty generous fairways and sizeable undulating greens, making distance off the tee and accurate approach play the premium. The Palm course plays under 7,000 yards and the premium is on accuracy with many holes being tree lined. Both courses have many water hazards.

Golf Player Profiles



Please note that player attribute ratings are derived from the official PGA Tour and European Tour golf stats, and updated with a rolling average each golf betting year for precision.


Bryan Nicholson is the pioneer of the progressive form and course fit ratings for golf betting, with the associated progressive form model and course fit profiling model. Bryan is the author of the increasingly popular annual course fit profiling manual and #1 golf betting book Angles & Edges and runs the Sharp Sports Bettors Blog.

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan also pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating. For example: Sam Horsfield at Celtic Manor vs TPC Southwind. This number will also portray ability level in terms of strokes gained total. Click "find out more" under the course fit golf betting model for info.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds. For example - a player shows form of T40 - 24 - 24, but last week he was in the leading PGA Tour group on Sunday with Tiger Woods and had a bad round due to nerves. His finishing position may not fully capture his actual form... See more with our calculators and betting tools
