Here are this week’s picks. As more of the top players return to action after the hectic end of the 2017-18 season, the Model once again tends to focus on the chalk. Thomas, Day, Matsuyama and Koepka lead the field in probability of winning (in that order.) But since […]

From Lou Riccio: The big hitters are lined up for the Bridgestone. The Model picks almost all big hitters and essentially all chalk. Because the PGA Championship is the following week, all the top players are at this one as well. Although length will be important, likely the best tee to green player will […]

Picking the British Open Champion using only PGA Tour data is somewhat problematic. Doing so emphasizes American golfers and foreign golfers who play a fair amount on the PGA Tour. Globe trotting types don’t show up as well. As such it should be no surprise that the Model picks mostly American players. It is also […]

The US Open is both the easiest and the hardest to predict. Easiest because the winner usually (not always) is one of the top players in the game. Hardest because the course is the hardest (some say too hard) and therefore there is an added dimension of randomness to the scoring. Also there is little […]

After a couple of poor weeks, the Model performed well this past weekend at Colonial by placing picks in first, second, fourth, fifth, and fourteenth, and 8 of 10 making the cut. It did well even though Spieth, who should have been a sure top ten having finished first and second twice at his nearly […]

Without the excitement of having Tiger in the field, this event still has many great players to be interesting in. Not surprisingly the Model picks seven “stars.” Beyond that, the probabilities drop substantially but fills out its ten with three “long shots.” Spieth is due. He’s played well with not enough to show for it […]
