Round 2 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - BMW Championship 2023
Rory McIlroy made more birdies (5) than fairways hit (3) today on route to a bogey-free round of 65.

Breaking $100: Free PGA Betting Picks - Breaking $100 Golf Best Bets for the 2023 BMW Championship
Patty Ice melted under the pressure of a playoff to lose to Lucas Glover on the 73rd hole of the tournament.

Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - The FedEx St. Jude Championship 2023
Lucas Glover would dominate Harry Potter in quidditch the way he is riding that broomstick putter of his lately. His ball striking continues to remain hotter than Memphis itself, which had a heat index of 111 today. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth has Einstein turning in his grave, as he defies all logic-gaining strokes on the field... Read More
Round 2 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - The FedEx St. Jude Championship 2023
Jordan Spieth is like a Taco Bell fart; you never know what you are going to get. With his only T20 in the last three months coming two months ago at the Memorial (T5), it is no surprise that he leads the first playoff event, but I will be honest and say I did not... Read More

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Breaking $100 Golf Best Bets for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship
Golf betting is so tilting. Adam Scott had two rounds of golf where he shot -7 and -5, for a total of -12, which is the score he ended his week on. The winner of the tournament finished at -20. Had he managed to shoot -4 in each of the other two rounds, he would... Read More

PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Wyndham Championship.
We have two golfers leading the tournament that are $8,500 and $8,600 in price for R4 showdown, making them VERY easy to fit into lineups but at what ownership?

PGA Stat Buffet - Betting, DFS Picks - Golf Bets Research - The 2023 Wyndham Championship (Premium)
The Wyndham Championship is the final regular season event before we head into the three-leg FedEx Cup Playoffs. The profile of skill required at this course is rather finite, with accuracy off the tee, strong wedge/mid iron play paired with a putter that is not afraid to go low. Let us see what stats the... Read More
Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - the Open Championship 2023
Brian Harman has seemingly signaled the aliens to come take over the earth, as that space-ship putter of his is on auto-pilot and sinking putts to the tune of +8.5 strokes putting. Tommy Fleetwood is also playing some fantastic golf, but he is -5, five shots back of Harman. Only six shots separate T4 and... Read More

Rory McIlroy hit one of the most memorable two-irons of the year on the final hole of regulation to make birdie and win the Scottish Open in regulation.

PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Genesis Scottish Open.
Rory ain't Harman the two Toms? Ideally that is how things go tomorrow, as we have a Scottie Scheffler who sits only 3 shots back of Rory McIlroy who has pretty much lead this tournament all week long, with Tom Kim in 2nd while Tommy Fleetwood and Brian Harman sit in T3 . Rory some... Read More
Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open
It is so weird typing an article at 5PM in Iowa for a PGA event that is about to start in 8 hours time, with Rory McIlroy at the top of the leaderboard at -10 and Tyrrell Hatton, Tom Kim, and Benny An sitting one shot back at -9. I could also probably just leave... Read More
