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.

FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 PLAYERS Championship

We get the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week, an event loaded with superstars. This essentially equates to the perfect opportunity to play a little more aggressively with pivots and less popular plays. In this article, we'll discuss some of the standout PGA DFS plays available on FanDuel. While it's impossible to hit on every player, […]

Kurt Kitayama found himself at the front end of the pack on Sunday, yet again, with his last two memories of such a circumstance resulting in a runner up finish at the CJ Cup and a blow up at Pebble Beach a few weeks ago. Gary Player said "The more you practice, the luckier you […]

This week is going to be a truly chaotic week of golf, yet again. There will be a lot of tee shots that get reteed, a lot of golfers going through a sleeve (3) of golf balls on a single hole, at times, from the same exact location. It is going to be a wild […]

10 Questions To Ask - PGA Betting, DFS Picks, Golf Research - 2023 The PLAYERS

Kurt Kitayama held off the world's very best, claiming his first PGA Tour win. He did so overcoming a triple bogey, and two drives that went out of bounds over the weekend. Kitayama's world ranking is now 19th and with his explosiveness and upside, who knows where he lands up by the end of the […]


PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 4 Picks for 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational

The leaderboard is absolutely loaded and Kurt Kitayama finds himself at the top of the leaderboard after getting off to a slow start knocking a drive out of bounds on a Par 5. He has Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and a host of other really skillful golfers behind him, looking to win the Arnold Palmer […]


Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Jon Rahm sits at the top of the leaderboard once...... >record scratch< .... he actually played really badly today for the first time in what feels like eternity and those of us who played Rory instead of Rahm (30% of us - woof) finally reaped the rewards...kinda. There really is just no winning with Rahm […]


Round 2 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Jon Rahm sits atop the leaderboard once more. But we need to fill out five other spots in our DFS roster, so I guess we will try to figure out who will score the second-most points tomorrow. OR, are we going to try to avoid the 40%+ ownership that will come in on Rahm tomorrow […]

As the chaos ensued around PGA National, Chris Kirk managed to survive a final hole water ball, to eventually secure his first win in some time in a playoff against Eric Cole. The rest of the field's best players disintegrated early in the tournament, while Shane Lowry and Sungjae Im never seemed to be in […]


Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - 2023 Honda Classic

It was only fitting that our Valentine's themed Breaking $100 last week resulted in Max Homa breaking our heart with another 2nd-place outright this season. He fought bravely but ultimately Jon Rahm's exceptional play and grandstand finish, which required a bounce off an actual grandstand to tap-in-eagle, was just too much to overcome. It just […]

10 Questions To Ask - PGA Betting, DFS Picks, Golf Research - 2023 The Honda Classic

In the last two weeks I have typed up this article, we crowned a new world No. 1, with Jon Rahm winning his third PGA Tour event in five starts. Scottie Scheffler will have to win another event soon to claim that spot back, and now Rory McIlroy has dropped to world No. 3. Things […]


PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Genesis Invitational

Jon Rahm is just making those that fade him, depressed. Maybe Max Homa can restore some sanity to the golf betting world with a come-from-behind win tomorrow. The general logic for showdown has been to target golfers who played well the day before and particularly those who hit their irons well. This makes sense as […]


PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 2 Picks for 2023 Genesis Invitational

Tiger Woods impressed today by ending his round with a birdie-streak. Max Homa's cement around his plaque of the "officially arrived as an elite golfer" club, is all but dry, scorching through his first round at -7 and co-leading the event with Keith Mitchell who continues to be one of the best drivers of the […]

We are back with another week of FanDuel DFS for the Genesis Invitational. The field is absolutely loaded with stars as this is the second full-field elevated event of the year.

As we sit here on Valentine's Day, golf has to be the ultimate love factory for bettors and supporters alike.

Scottie Scheffler has gone back-to-back at the WM Phoenix Open and regains World No. 1 status. If he starts to get hot with his putter, watch out! With the Super Bowl on, we will keep this intro short and sweet and dive into what matters most this week. We are going to ask a few […]


PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 4 Picks for 2023 WM Phoenix Open

Scottie Scheffler seems unflappable at the moment and is striking the ball that is almost more elite than his Michael Jackson-like footwork through impact. He is looking to go back-to-back at the WM Pheonix Open, which ignited a run of four high-level victories in the middle of last year, capped off by his Masters victory. […]


PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 3 Picks for 2023 WM Phoenix Open

If I told you that a 45% owned Jon Rahm ($10 18 Entry contest) lost -1.34 strokes on approach today, we would assume it would have been a great day for those of us who faded Rahm in R2, but he still managed to score 50 points gaining 5 strokes on and around the greens, […]


PGA DFS Showdown Slate - Round 2 Picks for 2023 WM Phoenix Open

Here we go again. Yet another blustery, half-finished round of golf on the west coast. Today's weather was like a fart-sneeze, where you expected wind but somehow it came from both directions at a speed and smell that equates to a Jimmy Walker +9 (80) being the end result. Half the field finished their round […]
