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 2024 Memorial

The problem with betting outrights is that because I live bet on Tom Kim on Saturday, I had a horse in the race and completely missed out on the amazing story of Bobby McIntyre winning the Canadian Open. He became the 7th golfer in a sample of 145 individual stroke play events not to gain […]


DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - The 2024 RBC Canadian Open (Premium Content)

Personally, I will be leaving a 40% owned $12,100 Rory McIlroy out of my lineups. But, for those of you playing him, or even as a cheap option in some balanced builds, we have some cheap options for this week. It can be tough to define "value" and that task is made tricky because each […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 RBC Canadian Open

In 2024, Davis Riley's best three finishes are T14, T30 and T62. He just gained 12 strokes ball striking and beat the field (Scottie Scheffler) by five strokes. Betting on winners makes you want to pull more hair out than Tom Brady has had installed in since he retired. But that is why we bet […]

DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - The 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge (Premium Content)

We managed to get 7 of our 9 guys through to the weekend for the PGA Championship, with $5,300 Grayson Murray (T41) doing tons of salary relief for me in a lineup that had Collin and Sahith T1 and 3rd with Sunday still to go, totalling four birdies between them, while Bryson and Xander managed […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge

Golf is a fascinating sport. I bet Xander in a matchup at the Wells Fargo and he surrenders a lead to Rory, the only person he needed to beat in the field. Fast forward a week later and the only person Bryson needed to beat to cash our PGA Championship outright, was Xander... I feel […]

Hideki Matsuyama withdrawing from the Wells Fargo last week left DFSers in a spin, especially those who had also rostered the withdrawn Sungjae at the CJ Cup! Hopefully we get none of that, but there are injury concerns amongst Zalatoris, Aberg, Spieth, Hideki and potentially a few elderly PGA Champions just battling a stiff back […]

The golfing world is coming together for the second time since Augusta. Scottie has just had a baby, Rory just filed for divorce, Ludvig has a knee issue, Will Zalatoris has a bad back, Jon Rahm has essentially become irrelevant since moving to LIV, yet Brooks Keopka enters the week with his life in the […]

We will just pretend that last week never happened. As I type this now I still have not changed the thumbnail from the CJ CUP and Sungjae Im is laughing at me and if you followed along last week, unfortunately you as well. I had him in 59% of my lineups last week which were […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship

Wait, we have signature event without the World No. 1 who has won four of his last five starts? Hell yes! We get a chance to finally throw some semi-confident cash at some top names in the hopes that the second places they likely would have ended up with will translate to a "W" while […]


PGA Stat Buffet - Betting, DFS Picks - Golf Bets Research - The 2024 Wells Fargo Championship (Premium)

We are at another signature event with 69 golfers in the field after Ludvig Aberg withdrew. This venue is a ball striking test with distance and long iron numbers adding a lot of emphasis to the model. Course history at this venue is also about as sticky as it comes outside of Augusta. This article […]

DraftKings PGA DFS Value Plays - The 2024 CJ CUP Byron Nelson (Premium Content)

The team format broke my DFS spirits, hitching my wagon heavily to Rory / Lowry who won the tournament ... unfortunately, in just about every one of those lineups we either had ZalaGala or ToMav who both missed the cut. DFS is a cruel mistress just about every week! No Scottie Scheffler in the field […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 CJ CUP Byron Nelson

Since the last edition of this article, Scottie Scheffler has gone on to completely dominate the world of golf, winning the RBC Heritage the week after slipping on his second green jacket! An incredible run of upside on a variety of courses against the PGA's best. It is rather fitting that Rory's 25th PGA win […]

There is a nuance to this course this week that we will be looking to try use to take advantage of the format that includes Best Ball (each team plays their two individual balls and takes the best score in R1 and R3), while alternate shot allows golfers to pick the order they tee off […]

The fun part about this week is that, I am the model maniac, and I built a model for this team tournament. It's got alternate shot, best ball and overall team rankings included. The alternate shot is based off the optimal pairings that they should roll out, according my calculations. Per my model, "3 OF […]

Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - The 2024 RBC Heritage

The general logic to showdown has been to target golfers who played well the day before and particularly those who hit their irons well. This makes sense as you want to roster players who are playing good golf right now. These players will be higher-owned and chalkier than golfers in the same price range who […]


Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2024 RBC Heritage

Scottie Scheffler has won three of his last four tournaments, yet, had you bet him to win and return $100 in each tournament he has played in the last 12 months, you would have lost -$10 ... that is not a typo. It just goes to show how treacherous the outright landscape is right now […]

This article is on a bit of a heater as we have written up Peter Malnati (win), Alejandro Tosti (2nd) and Akshay Bhatia (win) in the three weeks leading up to the Masters. Augusta loomed and Tommy Fleetwood boomed at $7,500 and notched us another podium finish. We will pretend the rest of the gang […]

Course history is rather sticky at this short positional track. We are also coming off of the first major of the year and motivation levels of those that played well could likely be dwindling, or the form the showed could spill over into this week. Others who missed the cut are likely chomping at the […]

Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open

It's not often a golfer ties a course record that was set by himself (and Scottie Scheffler), but Tony Finau once again shot a 62 on a golf course that played more than a stroke over par. The +9.38 he gained today likely is not his best round of golf on tour, as he shot […]
