0:00 Open
1:00 PGA Champ Futures
5:20 Truist Championship Preview and Picks

Thanks for tuning in to Proline TV for a Monday as we talk PGA Tour golf. What else would we talk about as far as golf is concerned? I guess we could talk about the live little LPGA action and maybe we will in due time. But the P especially after last week, unfortunately the lib wasn’t any better. Bryson Dashambo. What a parlay that would have been. De Shambo and Scotty Sheffller. But that was last week. We turned the corner to real golf as we have another signature event with the top players in the field. Scotty will not be here. So everybody else pretty much will be tuning up for back-toback impressive weeks on the PGA Tour with the PGA Championship coming up next week. All right. So, speaking of the PJ Championship, let’s go ahead and take a look. Let’s take an early look ahead. Uh, in case you want to place some odds on the PGA Championship futures in case, who knows? Maybe I’ve already done it. Here are the odds right now. Rory and Scotty deservedly tied. Don’t forget, Rory’s going to a venue where he’s won multiple times. It’s going to be toughened up, no question. But Rory knows how to win there. Quail hollow. And again, the Live Boys are back. So, you got that. You got maybe is Justin Thomas now ready to break out with the monkey off his back. I don’t know about that because keep in mind, Victor Havland, we waited for him to get a win. He got it. You know, Oberg’s got himself a win this year. Shafle, maybe he’ll get a win this week. Who knows? I mean, he’s uh you know, he’s still waiting for his win, even though he got a he got behind, of course, because of the injury. Morocco is still looking for that win. Canley hasn’t had one in a while, but that’s the field next week, as you can see, for the PGA Championship. And I’m still I’m waiting for my pick. Oh, where is he? He still isn’t here yet. Wow. There he is. Brian Harmon. I think Brian Harmon is gearing up for another major win this season. And I think the way he’s playing right now, I like him this week because I think his odds are ridiculously high and I’m jumping all over him. But I think next week I think it’s a good chance again as catch him while he’s hot and while the odds are ridiculously high. That’s what I say. So yeah. So that so Brian Harmon is definitely uh one of my picks as far as I mean Justin Rose is also a bargain at 100 to1. You have to take Justin right now. I think this week will tell us a lot though. But look, you’re not going to risk much by taking Justin at 100 to1. So I still think you should go down that road. Don’t forget Justin has didn’t just have the Masters. What did he have here? Justin this season, I think I have it here. also was eighth at Bay Hill and third at Pebble. So, come on. He’s had uh two two really good signature event finishes and of course the Masters playoff and you’re getting 100 to one. Let’s see. I think Jason could be interesting at 80 to one. Jason, I believe has a win at Quail Hollow. I have to check that. Does Jason Day have a win at Quail Hollow? Let me see. Uh what says I check that out. Who else looks pretty good here? I mean Corey Connors at 70. If you get Cy Connor’s at 70, uh that’s nice. I like that. You know, we’ve seen him like this week down to 30. By the way, Jason Day did win at Quill Hollow back in 2018. I think that’s his only win there. Russell Henley is also 70. He had a very disappointing Masters. A lot of us thought that he was going to show up. No, didn’t. So, you’re getting a good number now because of it. Straa could be dangerous at 65 to1. Keep an eye on him this week. That’s still a good number. I have no idea. Why is Fen so low here? Monty’s putter putter is just gone. Uh yeah. Uh Burns and SME and Speeds. Uh we’ll see what they do this week. I think this is a big week for both of them because they’re they’re really trending in the right direction. They got to keep that up. Cam, I like Cam at 40 or 50. I don’t know if I take him at 35. I think you can get him 40 or 50 on, you know, depending on what sports book you have. Cam had a a good week a couple weeks ago, but still not have the season that he’s hoping for. Otherwise, you know, it’s too late to take any futures on any of these other players because of the fact that it is only a week away. Okay, it’s the truest championship. Now, this is not the Wells Fargo. This is not Qual Hollow, obviously, because Quallo will be renting out their facilities for the PGA Championship next week. We get an opportunity to play this week at a new golf course. And this is awesome. Anytime we get a chance to to to to to play in these new courses we haven’t seen before, ever, that’s great. Especially because they’re talking it up. As a handicapper though, very very difficult trying to figure out because you don’t have any historical stats here. You don’t know what you’re going on. You can’t tell me you know what you’re going on on amateur playing or senior tours or LPGA or any of those types of levels of play. It’s not it’s not the PG tour. It’s not a PG tour setup. We don’t know. But what we do know, by the way, it’s the Philadelphia Cricket Club and it’s Whis Hickon. That’s how they pronounce it. Whisickon. That’s the golf course. It’s only a par 71 about 7100 yards. It’s pretty small. is pretty short. Now, what you have to do, so it did a lot of research. I did a lot of research on Sunday, tiny bit today, but a lot of research on trying Sunday trying to figure out because you’re not going to get the assistance of the typical way that you have handicapping tools where you find your correlated courses, the statistics in general. I know I’ve got some. I’m going to put them up there on the screen in a little bit on the Fantasy National, but it makes it a lot harder, a little bit of a guesswork. But what you find out is it’s a lot of bunkers, you know, that there’s a lot of talk that the designer uh and and the way they put this this course together, it’s like a shotmakaker’s course. You know, the fairways are tighter. So, you know, there’s there’s ball striking, I think, is going to come into play without question. I think scrambling sand saves are going to come into play because again you’re going to have tons of bunkers. Uh and and this is going to be a shot I think be a creative shotmakers course that this is my guess and I think a lot of us are guessing. So this is what I’m doing when I put my little formula together my model my golf model. That is definitely uh how I am going to be putting in my guesswork. Um there’s varying slopes on the fairways there’s undulating greens. So, it’s a very creative golf course. That’s what I’m saying. I think you have to be a creative golfer. You have to be good at scrambling, blah blah blah. And also because it’s shorter course. Definitely need to have a little bit of accuracy off the tease. Uh because it is not going to be like we saw last week on the PG Tour. That is for sure. Okay, let’s take a look at it. There, by the way, of course, are the odds. See, here’s the this is the difference between I this to me is just crazy. Last weekend, Scotty Sheffler was about what three to one favorite and you know, you saw the field last week. There wasn’t a field. It’s like it was like the I don’t even know who was like the sec the next ranked player because he was of course number one. I I don’t remember who was the next ranked player, but there wasn’t any of this. You didn’t get any of these players. I mean, let me see here in this field just quickly see if I could find the first player there. Speed. And we know Jordan, we know where his game’s been. I’m hoping the way he’s playing that he is ready to win a big one. But we have Spath. I don’t see another one yet. Burns, who by the way, we give you a little hint. Those are two of our picks. Yeah. I mean, look at this. There’s just So, what I’m getting to is is speeds three to one. And the next player last week was what was he? I think I have it here. 18 to1. So, you’re telling me that with and that was Jordan Spe 18 to1. So what you’re telling me is Rory is like four to one and he’s got almost as big as a gap when the players that are you know right like one two Morawa Shaw Oberg JT I mean are you kidding me there is no way Rory Maroy should be favored by this much. I don’t care how great he’s playing. I mean, seriously, what do you think is happening in Rory Rory’s mind? He he wins the biggest event of his life. He takes a couple of weeks off and now he’s preparing for what? The truest championship, a golf course he’s never seen before. No, he’s getting ready for the PGA because he knows Quell Hollow and that is in his mind. Hey, what if I win Quail Hollow where I’ve won before and I can go two for two in majors? What kind of a year could I have? How awesome could this potentially be for me? So, I’m just gonna have a hard time, a much harder time this week with Rory than last week with Sheffler because again, not only the field, but Scotty was desperate for a win. And he was on ridiculous golf course. It was like an NFL player playing against college football uh players. It was just ridiculous on a college football course. It was ridiculous. I mean, you understand what I’m trying to get at. So, I just don’t see it this week. I don’t think we’re going to see Rory winning right after winning the Masters and a week before even though Rory does a really good job prior to majors. Now, this is important, okay? Because we talked about this obviously already before the Masters in the last 22 events prior to majors. 10 winners of the 22 were major winners. It was nine and then Brian Harmon won to make it 10. three had some sort of hometown connection. McIntyre winning the Scottish Open, Jordan winning in Texas, and Taylor winning in Canada. The other nine were big long shots. Now, the average of those were 121.7. Difference is we’re not in a just average type of 140 field event. with a bunch of players and there’s only maybe five or 10 real players and the rest of the field are just others because there’s a week before a major and everybody wants to gear up and rest. No, this is a signature event. So, I I don’t like the way they do this personally. I think it’s crazy to put these big events back to back. I mean, spread it out a little bit. I’d much rather see the major any other event and then put the signature event or vice versa. Signature event any other event major. Give our fans, you know, spread it out. But it is what it is. So we have a major again. Signature event before a major. So this is what we’re dealing with here. So, just keep in mind that the thing I’d really look at more than anything though, because it’s a signature event, is based on that, I think we’re going to end up seeing a good player win here. And so, that’s where the major comes in. And I don’t know if if are any of these players from Philly? Because if they are, if you know of anybody out from Philly, I’ll put it in the comments section. Uh if there’s anybody in the Philly area or maybe South Jersey, you know, that kind of area, Delaware, let let us know because maybe that’s a player we should uh put a couple of bucks on, too. Okay, let’s go ahead and pop up our model. Okay, so thanks to Fantasy National. We’ll have a link in the description. This is my model and we’re going to go on the last 12 rounds. Okay, so big surprise you got Rory Maroy there. But we are not going to take Rory. Not only because I think it’s real tough for him to win this week, but also he’s only four to one. There’s no value there. Just like Sheffler last week. There’s just no value. Because if you look at it, um, if you look, the only way you’re going to win in those situations is is if you get lucky and you only take like Scotty or Rory a couple of times a year when they’re three or four to one and you happen to hit. So maybe if you if you end up like at least I don’t know 35 or 40%. Any close to 50 is really what you have to hit because if you’re like 25% hitting them at three or four to one, you’re not making any money. You might even be losing money. So it’s kind of hard to make money picking those guys. Okay. So since we’re not doing that, let’s take a You know what? Let’s pop up. Let me go ahead and pop up the pics because I haven’t even set that up. So, here are my picks. I’ll move this into frame. And here are the stats that that you see on the right of the board on at Fantasy National. Okay. So, as you can see, speed is the is the lowest number at 25. Everybody else is 40 to1 or higher. Okay, so as far as the board goes, there you go. I went with ball striking strokes gain approach, I know, boring. Bogey avoid boring. Uh, but greens and regulations probably also boring. I really think these are the two key ones here. Tell you the truth. Like I said, with the with the shotmaking, I really do believe this is going to be important this week. And I say bogey avoiding because I will tell you this and this is what I was getting to as well. I think there’s a little bit of a kind of poor man’s US Open look to it of this golf course. And that’s what I think we’re going to see. I really do. I look if if the winning score is 18 under, then I’m going to be completely wrong. Chances are I am not my I’m not picking the winner. chances are I think I have a really good chance of picking the winner if the if the winning score is somewhere like around 12 under maybe 14 at the most then I think I have a chance because I do believe this is going to be a tough golf course and maybe 14 might even be high I think this is going to be a tough golf course so again whether it’s because of of of especially with the the different places that they’re going to have these bunkers very abnormal places compared to where you where you the uh the setups for bunkers uh you know in on on tour again the fact that it’s a smaller course it’s a tighter course so it’s it’s not it’s not what and that’s what US opens play at you know some US Opens would play matter of fact I think the ones that I looked at the most not that you can gauge off of it too much is Marian in 2013 and Oakmont in 2016 if you want to if you want to put them into play Um, but I just can’t do that. Correlated courses and all. Okay, so I tell you what, Tom Hogi really sticks out. Look at this. Now, when I moved it down to eight rounds, because I’ve got to the last 12 rounds here, if I would have moved this down to eight, Hogi’s first and first and scrambling and sense saves. I mean, that is pretty impressive. Okay, now it’s just the last eight rounds, but first in both. And Hogi, too. If you take a look at Hogi, we’ve uh grabbed them a few times lately. The model is also strong overall. Uh because again, this is the 12 round model. Let me let me pop because I’m pretty sure we I think we started at 24. Did we start at 24? I’ll double check that. I think we did. Where’s Tom? Okay, Tom is No, maybe. Yeah, there he is. 30. We started at 24 because it’s usually where you want to start 24 rounds. All right. And this is okay. Nothing wrong with being 30. It’s it’s but it’s, you know, it’s not a big field. So, it’s it’s just average. Okay. But that’s why I I do I like to start off at 24 and then immediately I’m gonna go to either 12 or eight because now I want to see are they improving. 24 is yeah it’s a nice gauge. You see how they’re playing over over months but 12 now we’re starting to get towards potentially you know month five weeks six weeks that kind of deal. And I think that makes it a little bit um a little bit better. And then even if you get to eight, eight, I think, is is is really the highlight because it’s it’s it’s getting close now. Four might be too four is too close. I’ll judge four. I think judging four is pretty good because you do want to say, “Hey, somebody maybe they’re hot. Maybe maybe maybe they’ve gone from 24 to 12 to 8 to 4 and you can notice that and and that’s right there in front of you because sometimes you can go 24 12 eight and then the last four though has gone the other way. That means the momentum has has stopped. That’s important to see. So I I think it’s important to just check it out for that sake. But that’s why eight is a little bit better. It’s a little bit more truer if you’re just taking a look at someone if they’re hot coming in. And again, if you look at here, there he is. Hog’s first and first sand saves and scrambling in the last eight rounds. Shane Lowry, someone that was just just missed out. He was one of those like last I had like five that missed out. He was one of them. But Sam Burns, I’m going with Sam, as you saw, uh is my top pick. And I mentioned this last week or the LA Yeah, last week uh where he started to finally show something. The 13th was at RBC. That was a good start and he follows it up with a fifth last week. So he he keeps getting better. And uh the model, here’s a sign. The model, he was 65th 24 rounds. He’s now down to 14th in the last four rounds. That’s how See, that’s what I’m saying. He’s really starting to get it now. And also he’s second in the putting model. Bent grass, keep bent grass greens, he’s is second in the last 12 rounds. And he’s also, as you can see here, very solid scrambling and sand saves. So that’s why I’m going to go ahead and throw the throw the throw the throw it out there with Sam Burns. The only thing I’m that that that um would concern me is just again if this plays really tough. Uh that hasn’t been the the thing that Sam Burns has excelled at. But uh we aren’t I don’t think we’re going to be talking about it being really tough. I I would doubt that that I’d be a little bit surp and the weather is not going to be there’s not going to be like these big winds of 15 and 20 mph gusts or anything like that. Matter of fact, there’s going to be some right now still a few days out. They’re expecting uh some thunderstorms late Thursday. Hopefully, it’ll be when the first round’s over and that’ll lead to showers nearly 50% chance all day Friday, but I don’t see thunderstorms. So fingers crossed we get through the four days without any stoppages. We can deal with showers and another reason that you might want to take a look at someone like Lowry who can deal in that kind of weather. Okay, so there you go. There’s Burns. Now Novak is another player that we just have to take. I mean, look how hot this kid is. And I know he’s going to win this year. The other player that I that I predicted to win his first event, I’m not going to hit. it looks like. And that’s Bo Hustler. But I I I’ve got to hit Novak. I mean, look at him. In his last two events, he’s finished third and second. Uh you see there, right? Uh that’s the model for eight eight rounds. Where is he? Uh fourth. Eight rounds. And in his putting has gotten better basically of the last several months. 12 rounds 23rd. Eight rounds 15th four rounds seventh. So he’s getting better and better. Ben Crash Greens every four rounds and also very good there scrambling and sand save. So I think Novak look it’s kind how hard is it to go third second first. I mean only the great players do that right? So yeah I’m a little bit concerned with that but you are getting 60 to1. So we’re not talking about a 30 to1 player here. I think it’s a guy that you have to take at 60 to1. And I don’t think a sports book is going to screw you with with odds much less than that than that. And there’s my guy Brian Harmon. All right. As you can see there, the thing that really sticks out for me is how in the world is this guy still 70 to1? And you’re still getting 80 to 100 to1 next week. So in the model, as you can see here, he’s 10th the eight rounds. uh the last eight rounds he was 23rd 24 rounds the the putting is the one thing that he’s just been up and down lately so it’s still a little off. It’s the one part of his game that I think is is like going to hold him back from winning one of these next two weeks because I’m already taking him next week. The only way I I would potentially not even think of taking him is if something happens this week that is just so ridiculously bad. But real good on the sand saves into the scrambling coming in third at RBC. Of course, one not too long ago. So, yeah, I’m all on top of Brian Harmon right now. And uh I know some of it has to do with the fact that I hit him uh when he won his open major championship. And yeah, I mean, look, he he won a major in the signature event prior to the Masters. We’ll see if he can do go two for two here. Let’s uh see who else we’ve got. We’ve got Windam Clark. Uh, so you can see the best for Windham out of these six right here, maybe the two that are the most important potentially. And what I like about Windam, I mean, the odds are okay. I don’t think I’m getting a break with the odds at 45 to one. Um, but with Windham, there are signs that he’s showing that there’s there’s something potentially there that he could put it all together in one week. And that’s all you’re looking for, especially when you’re getting 45 to one. He’s only had one top five, by the way, since last year’s PG championship. So, trust me, this isn’t one of them that I’m like, all taking Clark and speech to me, those are the two trickiest ones because they’re major winners. Uh they have that great pedigree. Uh but it’s like you you get frustrated by them because they’re they’re they haven’t yet put it together. And when you take them, they frustrate you because it’s like, “All right, is this the week? I’m going to I’m going to I’m going to risk some of my own hard-earned cash on them.” And then they don’t come through and it’s fur infuriating sometimes because you know that they can do it. You know they’re going to do it. You want them to do it when you pick them. Uh so with Clark, the thing that I noticed is in the model, the last 12 rounds, he’s 20th. Okay. Here, not so good. 46th, but this is eight. And the putting 18th last eight rounds. So even though he’s 46th here in the last eight rounds in the model, his putting is is much better in the last eight rounds. And again here in the last eight rounds, this is pretty decent. But what we want is better than this. He’s not going to win this week unless he does even better than this. So that’s what we’re gambling with is that he will put it together and be better than this. Don’t forget he was just fifth though. Remember I said he won top five since the PGA last year. Well, that was just a few events ago. I think it in Houston. So, it has happened recently. And then he did not have a bad showing. I think over at the RBC I believe in the top 30. And then there’s Spath. And look at that. Look at this for speed here. All across the board here. Second. This is just eight rounds though. But that’s good because he is starting to get better and better and better. Just look at him. Over the last four events, all top 20s, fourth at the joke of a golf course last week, uh, Sunday, yesterday, the thing that’s holding him back though is the putting. That is what’s holding Jordan back. And if Jordan can get the putting going, if he can just have a good week putting based on everything else, he keeps doing what he’s doing. He keeps just, you know, progressively getting better with everything else. and the putter works, he’s gonna win. And and and that’s what you want when you’re gambling on a player. That’s what you want. You basically want to know. Now, I think I want a little bit better than 25 to one. I mean, I do. I’d really still rather have about 30, maybe even 35 because he hasn’t won in a while. And it’s not like he’s even though he finished what fourth uh Sunday, wasn’t like I mean, he was like 10 back or whatever it was. So, he hasn’t been on top of the leaderboard fighting for a win in a long time. So, it’s it’s been a while. That’s why I think I’d want more than 25 to one. But, there’s a lot to like. Again, he’s also a major winner. Again, the key is is the putter. That’s that’s what’s really holding him back. Okay, what else? By the way, Alex Norman should be back from what I hear, which is great news. We haven’t seen Alex in a long time since October or something like that. So, and he was playing pretty pretty pretty pretty well the last time we saw him. So, we’re all happy to have him back. Keith Mitchell’s interesting because look at this. The the the numbers are pretty nice. Um, but the thing that just sticks out for Keith, there’s two key things. One is the putter. The putter not good. Two, coincidentally, is the fact that he can’t close. He’s not good on Sundays. So, if you’re not good on Sundays and the putter ain’t working for you, I mean, that’s just a terrible combination. But when you take a look at his game, he has improved result-wise, each event over the last five, all in the last three, he went from 18th to 12th to second. The second was the correlated course from the RBC a couple of weeks ago. But that’s uh I tell you what, you know, that is still, you know, really impressive. Uh the model’s nice as you could see there. The problem is the putter and the odds on him at here over at DraftKings is only 60 to1. My book has 90. That’s where he should be. He’s in this field. He’s he’s got to be 90. There’s no way I would advise anybody to take Keith Mitchell in this field at 60 to1. 90. Yeah. I mean, why not throw a buck on them? Here’s Burger now. Burger, as you can see. Yeah. You know what? Let me see here. Let me get this going back this way. Okay. Burger is fifth in this situation. The last eight rounds. We’re still in the last eight. And uh look, he’s been real solid. The two things that are not exactly, this just average, so that’s okay. Everything else here is good. But what you got to like about Burger is he’s also trending in the right direction. He’s coming up a second, excuse me, a third at RBC a few weeks ago. That’s really impressive. So, the model’s nice. Uh the putter that’s kind of been holding him back a little bit. Uh but yeah, I I mean, we’re all waiting now for Daniel Burger to win. He’s he’s he’s going to win real soon. The quicker he can do it, the better the year he can have. So, this is a good week, I think, to take him, which we have. We did not go with Connors, but I think Connors is also a player to keep an eye on. Um, you know, he’s 30 to1, so that’s kind of the reason we passed on him. There were some other options that we uh we definitely preferred to go with. Uh, he’s coming off his first non-top 20 that as well. That was a 49th at RBC in a in a limited field. So, that’s not very good. But, you know, Cory’s just had a really solid season. Uh, I argued this early on in the early on in the season along with Brady about how important it was for uh Cor when you when you’re taking a look and and deciding what to do with Corey is that his odds needed to be where I think they belonged better at which we started to see early in the season around on a regular week. 50 to1 60 to1 big field major 80 to1 that kind of stuff and that’s all of a sudden what happened we saw the change and I was like great this is where it should be now we can take Corey and he started playing good all right we’re still getting a decent odds but now that he started to play really well now the odds are dropping again the 30 to1ish range uh I still think he’s okay if you want to go down that route I would not bulk at it I think he’s playing just as good as a lot of other players here even better than some of the ones that have lower odds than he does. I just still want a little bit better odds in this type of field than 30 to1 personally, which is why uh I just knocked him out at the last second. Uh Straa, another player I knocked out at the last second and this was why did not like this. This is the thing that really uh affected me more than anything. But again, you have to nitpick when you can’t take everybody. And look at Straa in these big events this year. 13th RBC, 14th players, fifth Bay Hill, seventh Pebble because he won AMX, but that’s an easy course. Uh again, so the model looks good. The has been really good. There’s a lot to like about Straco and you’re getting decent odds at 40 to1. So, I think Straka is a good play, but we just nitpicked them with the scrambling and sand saves uh to knock him out on our picks. But, uh if you want to take Straa, I think that’s a good idea. Sew is another one that uh we decided to go against at the last minute just like Eric Cole. Um and really for Seiwoo, yeah, again, compared to these stats, these aren’t the best. Um but he is playing his best golf that we’ve seen in a year or so with the 15th last week and the eighth the week before that. Uh really uh could have won RBC poor Sunday but the model’s nice. The putting not so that’s the thing that’s also kind of holding it back. So that’s why it was easy for us to knock him out the last second because of the sand saves the scrambling and the putter. But still somebody was right there. Eric Cole. I I just don’t know if Eric Cole is ready to win a big event like this, but we do like him. We liked him last week. We picked him. He had a good week. Matter of fact, he finished fifth and he is trending in the right direction. Matter of fact, he has five straight top 30s and he was real hot whatever a year and a half ago. Calmed down for the past year, but now he’s picking it up again. So, he’s got five straight top 30s. He has the fifth coming in uh from Sunday. Uh the putter is really going right now. The model’s nice. There’s a lot to like about Eric Cole this week. A lot. Uh the odd is the odds are big. 100 to one. So I mean I’m putting money on him, but I just can’t take everybody for the show. But uh again, the last thing for me that uh that was the deciding factor was just the fact I don’t know if he can win an event, a signature event on the PJ tour because he hasn’t won a PJ tour event yet. I don’t know if he can win a signature event to break his maiden. Rose uh we also did not pick this week. And the reason we did not pick Rose this week um was uh if you can see right about here. So his scrambling and sand saves uh not particularly good. Uh even the bogey avoidance which is not a big deal. Uh but uh and again I kind of put it there because if if it is going to be a tough golf course like I think it can be. I wanted to put that stat in there. Um but yeah, but uh Justin uh just uh was somebody that just did not make our cut. But we definitely have him in play next week. And really what I want to see from Justin this week, I like to see at least like a top 20 would be nice since he did not, you know, come through at all at RBC, which is not surprising the week after the Masters. I’d like to see him kind of get going a little bit here. And I I I don’t think he’s a bad play either, even though we just missed not, you know, putting him in our our picks because he’s 65 to one. And so, yeah. So, I still think he’s a pretty solid play. And let’s see, Fleetwood. There’s Fleetwood. Yeah. Where do we have uh Fleetwood? Okay. Yeah, because we we he was also really close to making our list. Just trying to see. I think we’ve gone through everybody. Yeah. Did we went through everybody? So, Tommy uh was was another one. One of the last five that we did not uh go with. Uh and and really um boy, with Tommy, it’s just there are a few reasons. Uh, I think the odds are okay at 28 to1. He is trending in the right direction. Seventh last time we’ve seen him. You know, the model’s okay. Uh, the putting uh recently is okay. So, that there’s Okay, this could be this is the week for Tommy. And that’s the thing though, you know, I think some people I know Jared Smaller, who will join me next week to preview the PJ Championship, is like he’s already given up on Tommy, not going to do it. And this was a year ago and he’s as long as you’re still keeping that I don’t know if he still kept it but if he if he did then he’s right and that’s the kind of thing you kind of feel after a while maybe I should just wait till he wins because how many times have we taken him and he still hasn’t won a PJ tour event. So it’s kind of hard especially when your odds are as low as as his are. Maybe you get lucky on a given week and you see 40. That’s different. But you’re only getting between 25 and 30 it seems with Tommy and those odds are low. And if you keep taking him and thinking, “Oh, this is the week.” But, you know, he’s he’s like one of the best players in the world that has yet to win a PG tour event. He might be the best who have never won a PG tour event. Uh, let’s see. Again, like I said, Lowry, one of the last ones that we just knocked out. Michael Kim not playing as good as he did earlier in this season. I think he’s gone five straight now without a top 20. Now there’s Jason Day. I believe he’s the last one that we haven’t talked about. Um yeah, I mean there’s some hits and misses here along the model, but what kind of did it for us with Jason? There were a few things. Um and if you look at some of the uh weeks he’s had this week, he was good at the Masters obviously. He also had a good week at the at the Beill. Um but we kind of just decided look he is a major winner and he is also someone that actually played well at both Marian uh and um Oakma and I kind of want to give him the shot and and because just in case that does come into play he the number’s nice. What is the number? I think it’s 50 to1. It’s a good number. uh and but he’s not anywhere near the level of play that we know he could still be. He’s still in the prime of his career. He hasn’t been banged up lately. That’s the that’s been a thing that’s really stunted his career, but he hasn’t been banged up lately. So, at some point, and maybe it’s still got time this season, if he can get going, then we know the game’s there. We’ve seen it. So, it’s just a matter of whether or not he could put it together while he’s healthy. But, yeah, this is a little bit of a that’s why he wasn’t like one of my top picks. I think he was uh yeah, seventh out of eight. And there you go. Okay. So, uh that’s what we got for you today. And next week, it’s going to be the PGA Championship. And we are going to be here uh along with Jared Smaller. I’m not sure when we’re going to do it. Uh I promised I was going to do these on Monday and here we are. Uh putting this all together so we can get an early start for you so you can figure out what to do this week. If you have any questions or comments and if I can’t answer them, I’ve got a couple of analysts. I’ve got a Hall of Fame golfer and Jan Stevenson I can turn to. So you got questions, comments about anything, see if I can answer it. If I can’t, I have some uh some people I can turn to to see if they can answer it uh regarding the event this week or anything else that’s on your mind. Uh of course, just put it in the comment section. And we want you to subscribe. That’s uh the big the big deal here that can help us out uh to support the channel. And of course, you’ll never miss one of our shows. Uh things have been going really good for the channel lately. Of course, we hit Rory at the Masters. We just came off with John Hardon picking the winner of the Kentucky Derby. Uh we’ll talk more horse racing in a couple of days. We got the PNness in a couple of weeks to to talk about. Uh second leg of the Triple Crown. Uh we hit with Florida in the national championship. Uh that was our top pick going into the champ to the uh uh to the NCA tournament, not in the final four, not in the championship game, but that was our outright pick before the whole thing started. So uh we’re hitting with we’re coming in with that and more. I mean, we’ve had a very, very good run. Things have been going really good for us here on the channel. And while we’re hot, hopefully we can keep things going here. And, uh, hey, if we can get one over the next couple of weeks, that’d be great being that all the best players are around, uh, this week and next week. So, again, thanks for tuning in here on Proline TV and we’ll see you next time.
