The Model Maniac

435 articles

A South African native living the American dream. I played college golf in Iowa where I spent four years playing and two coaching, while grabbing 3.5 finance related degrees along the way. As my twitter handle suggests, I am obsessed with my very own excel model. Tournament long matchups are my favorite bet and I love nothing more than a Sunday golf sweat.

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2023 Masters

Ladies and Gentelmen, it is Masters week!!! All of golf's superstars are surfacing from wherever they have been LIVing in pursuit of the greenest of jackets. World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, is half the odds he was to win when we hit him here last year at 14-1, now priced to the point where Vegas […]


DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - 2023 Masters (Premium Content)

All other PGA Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The Valero Texas Open was a solid event for us, going 6/9 on our Value Plays with Chalk (3/3), Pivots (2/3), and Leverage (1/3), which is a trend that makes complete sense, as the lower owned golfers inherently come with the most risk. This […]

PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Valero Texas Open

Tomorrow will make for some really interesting viewing, as neither Corey Conners or Patrick Rodgers have shown the ability to close out events with confidence. Danger lurks alongside many of the fairways and one or two swings lacking the necessary conviction could see a whole bunch of golfers get brought back into the tournament, with […]


Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2023 Valero Texas Open

Golf is an incredibly exciting sport, filled with volatility, twists and turns, and when your success solely relies on the one golfer you are matched up with who seemingly refuses to miss any putts, people like Cameron Young can leave the event feeling deflated as they were simply on the wrong side of a hot […]


FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 Valero Texas Open

A week before the Masters means we get a much weaker field than usual, which leaves us with the majority of the field producing an outcome range of T20 to missed cut on any given day. Lets try find some of the guys that will give us the best shot at a competitive lineup this […]


DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - 2023 Valero Texas Open (Premium Content)

All other PGA Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Matchplay was not our week, going 0/7 on our picks escaping their pod. What a disaster. However, that is the nature of match play and we took some aggressive routes which never paid off this time. Maybe they do this week. It can be […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2023 Dell Technologies Match Play

The Jordan Spieth experiment ended with us looking like an electrocuted Einstein, as the electricity that Spieth brings to the table should never be mixed with water, which he did with three holes left while sharing the lead of the tournament. It was a one of the most turbulent emotional experiences I have had watching […]


DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - 2023 Dell Match Play (Premium Content)

All other PGA Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Last week's article was a bit of a blood bath after getting 17/18 guys through the cut the two weeks before. It happens, particularly when the field strength weakens, the consistency of the field is much weaker and can produce some really absurd results. […]

PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Valspar Championship

Adam Schenk ended his round with a trio of threes to end his day with a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood, who both shot -2 in round 3. The leaderboard is in a log jam with 16 golfers four shots back of second place. It is going to be a wild day […]


Round 2 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks -The 2023 Valspar Championship

Ryan Brehm had one of his better rounds in some time, leading the field in strokes gained off the tee and also making an ACE. He sits in a three-way tie for first after the conclusion of R1. Stephen Jaeger and Adam Schenk sit alongside Brehm at the top of the leaderboard having shot a […]


Justin Lower Looking To Capitalize On Weaker Field

Justin Lower has the second-highest made-cut-plus-top-20 percentage total in the $6,000 range. Lower is a really good iron player and putter, ranking 20th in putting over the last 24 rounds and ninth in approach proximity. If he can lean on his 23rd-ranked good-drive percentage, we should have some leverage on the field at one percent […]


Stewart Cink Looks To Stay Afloat At Valspar

Stewart Cink has a rather steady set of results at this venue. A T7, T71, T31, and T27 are his last finishes at the Valspar. At his price point he is cheap enough to ignore the poor run of form he has displayed leading up to the final event of the Florida swing. Cink is […]


Ben Taylor A Short-Game Wizard

After gaining over a stroke putting in all four rounds of the Honda Classic, Ben Taylor will be looking to put his scrambling skills to the test once more. He is almost priced in the $6k range at $7,200 as one of 16 golfers, with a minimum of eight starts since 2022, to have a […]


Gary Woodland Has A Poisoned Putter

Gary Woodland has lost an average of -1.05 strokes putting in his last 19 rounds of golf, losing strokes in 14 of them. His incredible ball striking is rotting away on the shelf as his poisonous putter continues to sabotage any opportunity that his tee-to-green game presents. Woodland heads to Innisbrook (Copperhead) where he has […]


Martin Laird Playing Scared

Martin Laird has not made a cut at the Valspar in four attempts dating back to 2017. He has also only made one cut in his last five most recent starts, losing -0.75 strokes putting per a round over that stretch of rather disappointing golf. With course history and recent form like this, there is […]


Russell Knox Putting Putridly

Russell Knox has not finished inside the top-40 in any of his seven starts this year. His putter has lost strokes in 14 of 16 rounds which taints an incredible display of weekly iron play, which ranks 10th in this field over the last two-dozen rounds. Despite his stellar track record at the Valspar, his […]


FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 Valspar Championship

After getting spoilt with back-to-back elevated events and all the superstars that come with them, we now head to the Valspar where Sam Burns will look to 3-peat.

Once again, we have a new World No. 1, named Scottie Scheffler. Jon Rahm and Scottie have been playing such consistent golf lately, and are so evenly matched, that whenever either of them wins a tournament, which they have done 5 times in the 7 events either of them have started in this year, they […]

PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 4 Picks for the 2023 PLAYERS Championship

Scottie Scheffler is in complete control of his golf ball, leading the field by two strokes while losing strokes putting over the course of the tournament. He seemingly does not need to gain strokes putting to be in contention. He is such a savage ball striker. However, with the majority of our weeklong lineups sitting […]

Chad Ramey gained +5.77 strokes on the greens which was only accomplished by three golfers last season, making this a 1 in 5000 occurrence.
