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 US Open

What a week of golf that was in Canada! Nick Taylor clinched his country's Open with a walk off eagle, while Adam Hadwin could barely walk off the green after getting tackled by a security guard for spraying champagne at his buddy. One of the most epic conclusions to a relatively irrelevant tournament in the […]

DraftKings PGA ReignMakers - Picks For the US Open (2023)

The ReignMakers Market is seeing its usual uptick in average pricing with the third major of the year on this week's schedule. Since tracking weekly pricing since the Masters in April, we have had only 3 week's where average prices have increased - the two week's prior to the PGA Championship and now this week. […]


PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 RBC Canadian Open.

Folks, I have never wanted to attend a tournament more than wanting to go to the RBC Canadian Open. It seems like an absolute hoot. Nick Taylor charged up the leaderboard this morning taking the lead of the tournament before the leaders had even teed off. He shot a -9 (63) that was bogey free […]


Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - The 2023 RBC Canadian Open

Tyrrell Hatton went scorched earth and played such high quality golf today that we actually saw the Englishman smile on the golf course? A smile from Hatton is almost as rare a citing as the 8 strokes he gained on the field today, shooting an 8 under 64. Rory McIlroy leads the field in putting […]

Viktor Hovland finally broke into the winners' circle on US soil, and ladies and gentlemen, the floodgates are now wide open, and a ball-striking fluid is gushing out of the only desired openings of the Hovland Hoover dam wall, as all short-game cracks seem to have been repaired over the last few weeks. We need […]

DraftKings PGA ReignMakers - Picks For the Memorial (2023)

The market is in a bit of a downward spiral right now, but with the 3rd major of the year just around the corner, we can expect prices of golfers to go up in a week or two, as that has been the case in the last two majors. The time to buy is now, […]

Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the Memorial (2023)

If you are looking for a top-5 putter in the field, who gained the most strokes on approach at the Charles Schwab Challenge, just tail my outright selections. The caveat there, is that in order to gain 8 strokes on approach, Justin Rose had to lose -2.5 putting, which seems like a fair trade off […]

PGA Betting, DFS Picks - Golf Bets Research - 2023 the Memorial (Premium)

My main man, Emiliano Grillo was not featured in the Fortune Cookie Filter last week, with his ARG and Bentgrass putting ultimately keeping him out of the filter. Last 50 stats paint a good picture but what makes handicapping golf so hard, is the fact that since the PLAYERS, Grillo has been putting incredibly well. […]

PGA DFS Picks- Round 4 Showdown for 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Scottie Scheffler has not shot under par in his last three Saturday rounds. A very peculiar pattern is starting to emerge for the World No. 2. Meanwhile, he still sits in T10, behind Adam Schenk and Harry Hall who continue to play well above their baselines. Harris English sits a shot back of the two […]


Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - The 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Scottie Scheffler once again sits inside the top-10 of a PGA Tour event despite only 5 other players who also made the cut losing more strokes putting than the ball striking savant. One of the guys losing more strokes than Scottie on the greens is Justin Rose, who leads the field in strokes gained approach, […]


Breaking $100 - Free PGA Betting Picks - Golf Best Bets for the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Brooks Koepka is the PGA Championship winner. He is cementing himself as one of the greatest big game hunters to ever walk the planet. He has more major wins (5) than he has regular PGA Tour events (4), which is the definition of big game hunting. If you took the WM Phoenix Open out the […]


FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

We did okay in this article for the PGA Championship, with Cantlay, Lowry, Kirk, and Detry playing the weekend well. Jon Rahm made the cut too, but a T50 as one of the most expensive guys on the slate, was not ideal.  As we always do in this FanDuel DFS piece, we are going to […]

DraftKings PGA ReignMakers - Picks For The Charles Schwab Challenge

The PGA Championship is in the rearview mirror and we have seen a massive change in the ReignMakers market after the last two majors.

PGA Stat Buffet - Betting, DFS Picks - Golf Bets Research - 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge (Premium)

The PGA Championship was an entertainment all you can eat buffet for about 69.5 half holes before Victor Hovland decided to go back for seconds after he saw Corey Conners mow down a 16th hole double decker sandwich. Hovland hitting his ball into the exact same lip that Conners did is quite impressive and that […]

Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2023 PGA Championship

Scottie Scheffler reminds me of the 9.5/10 desk I just assembled this afternoon. He has all the parts/shots with very simple assembly instructions aka pound fairways and greens.
