RBC Heritage golf betting tips - Correlating form on the island


Form at last week's Colonial event should carry over to Harbour Town golf links, and Gary Woodland is tipped to ball strike his way into contention


RBC Heritage tips, golf betting tips, Hilton head island, Harbour town tips

The PGA tour returned last week and I was a little surprised to see the sharpness of many of the players. I feel confident enough we can pretty much pick up where we left off before the hiatus now, and what's more, we have a stretch of golf where the courses are correlating, and there's no better precursor to guide us for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links than Colonial, especially as the fields are very similar. Harbour Town is the tightest track on tour and will be a very similar test to Colonial so form from last week becomes more heavily weighted than usual

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.

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.
