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: RSM Classic - PGA Betting Picks

Another week, another favorite hoists a trophy, as Tony Finau bulldozed the field at the Houston Open, winning by four strokes while coasting into the clubhouse on Sunday. Finau has now won three times in seven starts and will be teeing it up at the RSM Classic this week, at odds three times shorter than […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Houston Open

In what seems like an alternate reality, Russell Henley confidently closed out his sizeable six-stroke lead on Sunday, in Mayakoba Mexico. For many seasoned bettors of golf, this is a phrase that would have won them significant amounts of money at the Wyndham Championship and Sony Open Championship rather recently. Henley played the first three […]

Kevin Yu A Ball-Striking Phenom

After a T3 last week, Kevin Yu is going to be a little more popular at a price point that is $800 less than he was listed at last week. His ball-striking is shaking out to be one of the best on tour, and that is enough for us to nibble on a bit of […]


Nick Hardy Hitting Irons Very Well

In order to find a better iron player than Nick Hardy, you are going to have to scroll up to a $9,200 salary. Four golfers in the field are hitting their irons better than this $7,800 golfer. The putting ups and downs are probably the reason why Hardy finds himself slapped with a cheap price […]

Former world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, will not be able to reclaim his crown with a win this week, but it would get him halfway up the royal stairs guarded by Rory McIlroy's booming drives and clutch performances. If Scottie were to win, it would mean that his putter has finally freed itself from the […]

Breaking $100: PGA Betting Picks and Strategy - Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Rory McIlroy is World No. 1 and the way he is driving the ball is simply unfair for everybody else in the field, including John Rahm. Rory lead the field in strokes gained off the tee, with now former No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, the second-best driver of the ball. In what seems like a parallel […]

Breaking $100: PGA Golf Bets for the CJ Cup

The search for back-to-back winners continues. Emiliano Grillo found himself surging up the leaderboard on Sunday but missed a shorty on 16 and then parred the easy 18th hole to miss out on a potential playoff by two shots. He would have joined Keegan Bradley in a playoff, who has been a staple of this […]

Si Woo Kim Riding Magic Broomstick

Si Woo Kim brushed Justin Thomas aside with a magnificent putting performance in their singles match at the Presidents Cup. Kim recently changed to a broomstick putter and has since gained +2.33 strokes putting at the Shriners before heading off to the ZOZO Championship which had no strokes gained data. If Kim continues to ride […]


Corey Conners Putting Poorly

After averaging +0.23 strokes putting over 40 rounds ending at The Open Championship, Corey Conners has regressed to losing -0.57 strokes in the 18 rounds with Shotlink data since The Open.
