Wells Fargo Championship Preview, Rankings and Ratings - Big Willy Style

Quail Hollow is one of my favourite gaffs to profile for and a strong field lines up once again for the Wells Fargo Championship. A certain Will Zalatoris has connections here in terms of a support network / team and having gone to college at Wake Forest. You'll see Zalatoris' course fit rating later in the preview but tee to green, and even around the green, there's no more suitable test on the PGA Tour for Will's game than Quail Hollow

Below are my rankings (in order), ratings and key course info for the Wells Fargo championship. I've added some course fit numbers for the top 10. The odds are what I think are a fair reflection, priced to 100% (no margin, done early Monday mornings)....

Key metrics / premiums: Quail Hollow

My course fit model screenshot above also shows Will Zalatoris' course fit rating of 8.90 for Quail hollow. He's docked points for on the green performance but take that with a pinch of salt - arguably he should be around a 9.5 (tee to green game).

We can see total driving is the real premium at Quail. Bermuda specialists have an advantage as do those with a draw (not as much nowadays). A high towering flight from shorter iron approaches into elevated greens is also key. This is why Rory, Thomas and similar styles really thrive around Quail. Zalatoris falls under this bracket and he is my headline bet here.

Keeping with the theme of Willies, Will Gordon was one that attention was drawn to when researching the total driving stats the last 2 seasons. I think this type of test could suit the big hitter at a huge price. He is 150s in the FRL market, 300+ in the outright and as high as 14s in the top 20 market....

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.

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.
