CJ Cup Course: Nine bridges par 72, 7,241 yards

Key Features: Large, slow and undulating bentgrass greens (prepped around 10'), deep bunkering, water hazards. Wind strength will be key

Premium on Greens in regulation, ball control and flight in wind, total birdies

Course correlation: Undulations, wind and some aesthetical similarities reminds me in ways of Trinity Forest where (#simmering) Sung Kang won in Texas earlier in the year (Byron Nelson)

Notes: scoring in 2018 was twice as low as the inaugural edition. This is due to the sweeping winds across the island, and it will pay to monitor the forecast closely on Jeju Island this week

The CJ Cup is a 78 man no cut event.

Cameron smith is the man I like towards the front of the market and I think there's juice in the Garcia price aswell but I love the value prices on 2 Asians who will enjoy the home conditions on Jeju Island, especially in the sub markets.

Jazzy Jane 100/1 ew leads the Asian tour order of merit, is in flying form over the last year and ticks all the key stat boxes here. He was 2nd in total birdies on the Asian Tour last year and ranks 1st in that stat in 2019. He was 8th in greens in reg last season and has currently hit 75% of greens in 2019. Jazz is renowned for his ball striking witht the irons. He's currently around 70s on the #FRLdar and 8s top 10.

Sung Kang 125/1 ew is also touching triple figs on the FRL market and double in the top 10. Kang is progressing nicely into form and has carded 2 round of 65 and a 63 in his last few events. He won at Trinity Forest earlier in the year on the PGA Tour - a track that you can see above - I think correlates well with Nine bridges. He's a streaky putter who can go low, ranking 12.5 in the putting from 15-25 foot radius last season.

Angles and Edges: a journey through the evolution of golf betting and the markets
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 annual course fit profiling manual and #1 golf betting book Angles & Edges.



What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan 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.

Golf Betting Tips Model

Input up to date player and course data (from the upcoming course fit manual 2024) into this interactive golf betting model. My course fit profiling model for golf betting tips uses highly evolved golf nuance and betting intuition, precise parameters and inputs based on Bayesian analysis, plus years of empirical evidence through observing, betting and documenting golf and stats.

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.
