This might be a bold take but the PGA Tour should take a week off after each major.

It’s insane to me it’s a signature event this weekend.

More important question, if TGL existed when he was playing, which team would Jack Nicklaus had been on?

I got crazy curly hair so I got to a salon and it’s $65

Made the great clips mistake one too many times and legit had a patch of hair missing from the middle of my scalp.

This post from last week was accidentally the perfect tweet for this week. Did JJ Spaun win because his name starts with a J? No. Does it fit the trend? Yeah. But does that trend actually matter? Nope.

I almost want to reply to all these trend threads with “correlation does not equal causation”

Played the R1 PGA slate and didn’t expect preferred lies

Played 9, only hit 1 par and 2 greens in regulation, but I wouldn’t have rather been anywhere else. Golf is the best.

My model didn’t get a winner this week, but it got the 2nd, T3, and two T6.

Super happy for Gary Woodland, I’m content my model didn’t get the winner this weekend because he won

Just booked my first tee time of the Spring

Just did the math and if you bet $10 on every golfer my model selected from every tournament so far this year, you’d be up $132 so far this year

That’s a profit of $13.20 per tournament, but I’ll take it.

My model got another winner! That’s 4/10 so far this year!

Overall great week for the model. Everyone made the cut, and it caught a top 5 from Xander

R4 Valspar Championship weather and hole locations:

Light wind and average difficulty hole locations will likely make the average score be just below par.

Average score prediction:
70.9 strokes

Average birdie or better prediction:
3.30

Average bogey or worse prediction:
3.15

Oof, the worst week for my model so far this season. First time I haven’t had a top 10 finisher.

Still not upset with the results, but not sure my model was predictive at all this weekend

With Morikawa finally winning after a few years, someone had to take over the title of Sunday choke artist. Unfortunately, it looks like it might be Aberg.

Round 3 predictions were on target again, I just predicted slightly too low on birdies and bogeys

Average score:
71.57 strokes

Average birdie or better:
4.30 birdie or better

Average bogey or worse:
3.34 bogeys or worse

*football genius

Round 3 The PLAYERS weather and hole locations:

Calmer weather and kinder hole locations should lead to the lowest average score so far

Average score prediction:
71.4 strokes

Average birdie or better prediction:
4.00 birdies or better

Average bogey or worse prediction:
3.20 bogeys or worse:

Round 2

72.39

Birdie or better average:
3.59

Another perfectly on target day 🎯

Weather and pin location for R2 of THE PLAYERS.

My predictions:

Weird wind pattern that will make course play easier, but scoring really depends on if there are preferred lies

My projected average score:
72.2

My projected birdie or better avg:
3.75

My projected bogey or worse avg:
3.40

Round 1:

73.12 average strokes

3.34 birdie or better average

3.74 bogey or worse average.

Nailed it today 🎯

Weather and pin location for R1 of THE PLAYERS.

My predictions:

Extreme weather conditions are going to push scores well above par.

My projected average score:
73.0

My projected birdie or better avg:
3.20

My projected bogey or worse avg:
3.70

Here’s my list for the PLAYERS:

Not as many smaller name golfers on my list this week, but I am not surprised given TPC Sawgrass

Oh boy, we might be looking at a Monday finish at the PLAYERS

Here’s some other lists from this year. I didn’t start taking this screen shot until the Farmers Insurance Open

In order, this is the Cognizant, Genesis Invitational, WM Phoenix Open, Farmers Insurance

Shoutout DataGolf.com for the visual

I create a weekly list of golfers I like for PGA events based on historical Shots Gained data, and it got its 3rd winner of the season last week!

Surprised that the two worst golfers in the list were Fleetwood and Matsuyama.

I rarely use instagram but have a 15 minute daily usage limit on it on my phone because when I do open it, it just sucks me in and I lose track of time. The algorithm is insanely addictive

That would just be a Chelsea podcast

That makes sense, I decided I needed to chose one or the other and I liked Lowry better, but it’s really a coin flip imo

Not interested in Shane Lowry?
