Final stop of the season, playoffs start next week! Before you finalize your betting cards and DFS pools, be sure to:
Here’s a sampling of our crew’s favorite bets for this week to get you started:
Ryan Noonan
Billy Horschel Top 20 +130 (FD)
You can make the case that, outside of his late summer heater in 2018, Billy Horschel is playing the best golf of his career right now. He’s always been one of the best putters on Tour, and he’s increasingly consistent tee-to-green. The majority of his strokes gained off the tee (SG: OTT) come from his accuracy, which I’m leaning on heavily this week at Sedgefield. His adjusted accuracy rate off the tee has been positive in 16 of 17 measured events this season, and he does so without sacrificing much in terms of distance. He’s also back in the southeast and on his preferred putting surface. No one on Tour has won more events on Bermudagrass over the past decade than Billy Horschel (4), and he has a large sample of success here, including four T11’s or better in his last five appearances. Considering fit and price, he’s the clear play for me near the top of the board.

Geoff Fienberg
Adam Scott top Aussie +140 (PB)
I’ve talked up Adam Scott too much this season, I admit it especially with no real moment of contention to speak of, that being said I do admire his consistent play and the ultra tight schedule he keeps. I’ve picked Scott to win this week at 40/1 which always feels like a big ask, but I’m also invested in Scott heavily in dfs/props/placing markers and my favorite one is Top Aussie +135, I don’t fear our biggest obstacle Jason Day one bit. -that final comment won’t burn me at all I’m sure.

Ron Klos
Russell Henley T20 +140 (FD)
Could this be Henley’s Sedgefield Redemption week? Last year he almost won wire-to-wire but ended up collapsing down the stretch. Like Conners, he is still searching for another PGA Tour victory and if the scar tissue from past failures is strong, this could be the week. He finished 10th in Detroit last week and was spectacular with his tee-to-green performance. He is one of the streakiest birdie-makers in the field and Bermuda has long been his favorite putting surface. He is also quite fresh compared to many of his fellow competitors. Last week was his first non-major event in the past 3 months. Sedgefield’s shorter “less than driver” layout is also perfect for him off the tee as he is an elite fairway-finder that lacks distance.

Andy Molitor
Joohyung “Tom” “The Train or whatever” Kim top 20 +140 (DK)
Ascending, and for the most part, his prices are coming with him but, I think there’s still a little value left in this train given the field this week. OTT numbers are a little deceiving considering the sample of tournaments he’s played at the tour level, but so far, he’s had a high level of accuracy on his tee shots (which I love here in NC) and some really nice iron play. Just needs some average putting to find enough scoring to tease the top 20, and a good putting performance, like we saw in Boston can likely have him competing considering the field here.
