Northern Trust Open R4: 1pt Ryan Moore @ 40.0. Moore has been out of the picture for about 18 months of indifferent form, hence the big price at just 3 shots back. Notable course form and well suited to Riviera, Moore has posted 3 progressively better rounds thus far. If the trend continues, he will be contending down the stretch tonight.

Trading pointer: Place 1 unit on Moore @ 40.0 and look to trade out late in the round if he gets into the mix.


AT&T Pebble Beach:
Round 1 market leader trade: Dustin Johnson (24.0), a master of Pebble Beach, starts early on Thursday morning on said course. Has shot many low rounds here and another would see his price come in to single figures. If he goes well, the plan is to cover liabilities after R1 for a free bet or trade completely if price goes below 5.0. Advised stake: 1.5units. Update: Johnson did indeed get off to a fabulous start and now (Fri morning) trades as low as 4.4 leaving us with a more than healthy profit.

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
