The US PGA Championships will make it's 5th appearance in Cali and first in San Francisco when the "test of shotmaking" TPC Harding Park course takes centre stage. No better place to look for clues then than at TPC Southwind for the WGC ST. Jude - a track described as a "shotmaker's paradise". TPC Harding Park itself is described as being built on gently rolling peninsula surrounded by Lake Merced off the Pacific Ocean. There's a clue right there: think wind.

TPC Harding Park hosted the American Express in 2005 and the WGC Matchplay in 2015. In all, 50% of the contenders were European's, solid drivers and fine links exponents. Might not be much of a sample but sometimes it doesn't have to be - just logical and I think the Euro's will really fancy this track for the PGA championships

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.
