Golf Betting Tips: Charles Schwab Challenge - Ryan fits the bill


Ryan Palmer will be practising hard at colonial when the golf clubs open up and he'll have an even bigger edge than usual on the field at the charles Schwab Challenge

The PGA Tour is set to come back mid June (11th) at Colonial Country Club for the Charles Schwab Challenge. One man will be licking his lips at that more than most and it's home man and course specialist Ryan Palmer. Palmer has a massive edge here year in year out at the Charles Schwab Challenge and it shows.

He knows the sight lines off the tee and where to attack and when to play safe. He knows the greens and winds at every time of the year. In 2020 with all the guys out of competitive practice before the event, Palmer will be practising and honing his game at Colonial CC and this is a strong betting angle worth looking at ahead of the restart.

There should be plenty of value angles at the Charles Schwab Challenge with a strong field assembled, but many of them haven't been playing, and Colonial is a great track to find out players who are not sharp. There have been mini tours in action in the last month or so and a number of pros have been playing competitively. I'm expecting a strange leaderboard after 72 holes of play at the Charles Schwab Challenge, with some elite players missing the cut, and lesser names in contention down the Sunday stretch.

There are a number of players in the 3 figure zone with high course fit ratings that are worth getting onside this week. Two of note are Steve Stricker and Zach Johnson. No idea what Stricks has been up to but he is a course specialist who rates a 9.2 on my course fit model. The manual also points to the likes of Brian Stuard who likes a fast start. Zach is a serious bet this week for me in different markets. I'm not interested in backing shorter prices this week - prefer a watching brief, and I'm actually expecting quite a random looking leaderboard. Will have an FRL / sub market angle post up on my Patreon platform in the week with a number of persons of interest.

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.
