The 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii, the first full-field event of the new year, begins on Thursday, and according to the Sony Open betting odds via BetMGM, Jordan Spieth is among the favorites, but another player leads the way. Here's what you need to know. Jordan Spieth hasn't played the Sony Open in Hawaii since 2019, and that was amidst a lost year of…

THE Tournament of Champions in Hawaii promises a spectacular start to the new golfing year, with the stunning setting matched by an all-star cast. Rory McIlroy is the only player among the forty who qualified for this event to give it a miss - hardly surprising as he has played there just once in his career.

What is Rory McIlroy's net worth? Rory McIlroy is one of the top professional golfers in the world and a former world number. He's a four-time major champion and started his career as a successful amateur, topping the World Amateur Golf Ranking at the age of 17 years old. Once he turned professional, Rory surprised the world with his conquest of…

A field of 90 players is set to converge on Augusta National Golf Club for the 86th edition of the Masters Tournament. Phil Mickelson is out. Tiger Woods is the ultimate question mark as he works he way back from injury. And several of the top players are peaking at the perfect time. (A few are also struggling. More on that shortly.) We've once…

The 2022 Masters Tournament is officially in the books and players now turn their attention to the PGA Championship this week.

Father's Day is traditionally celebrated every year during the final round of the US Open, and Sunday will be no different, as it coincides with the conclusion of the 2021 U.S. Open. Last year's tournament was rescheduled to September due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Bryson DeChambeau breaking through to win his first major. This year's…

Having shared my modeling strategy for this weekend's Valero Texas Open, it's time to apply it and make some picks. Today's column will focus on the derivative markets available to bettors before we dive into some matchup bets tomorrow. As a matter of note, I'm staying away from the futures market as I believe Rory McIlroy is a rightful favorite,…

While he may no longer hold the honor of being the top player in the world, Jon Rahm looked the part on Friday at the 2022 CJ Cup in South Carolina. After a middling performance on Thursday saw him sign for a 2-under 69, the Spaniard put things into hyperdrive in his second round, riding a hot putter to a course record 9-under 62 and a share of the…

It's back to mainland USA this week and to the exclusive Congaree Golf Club for the CJ Cup. Originally staged at Nine Bridges in South Korea in 2017-2019, the CJ Cup has moved about the US over the last couple of years due to the pandemic; with the 2020 and 2021 versions both taking place in Las Vegas, at Shadow Creek and The Summit Club. It's on…

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- If Peter Straka had not needed to buy a new golf glove at the counter of a course in Austria, the newest PGA Tour star from the University of Georgia might not have been born. Straka's mother, Mary, was an avid golf fan and had moved from Valdosta, Ga., to Austria to be with her boyfriend, a native of that country who was…

Tony Finau was originally scheduled to play in the 2022 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in Saint Simons Island, Ga., but days after his four-shot win at the Houston Open, Finau has withdrawn from the field.

It's last event of the PGA Tour fall swing. It's probably the last time we'll see the fall swing in its current format. And unfortunately, it goes out with a bit of a whimper. A relatively mediocre field heads to St. Simons Island for the 2022 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Resort. As always, here is your early deep-dive on the 2022 RSM Classic and…

With the Genesis Open in the books, the PGA Tour moves on to new beginnings. The Florida swing gets underway this week with the Honda Classic, at PGA National Resort and Spa, in Palm Beach Gardens.

Before the new PGA Tour season starts, it's worth reflecting on the surprising results of 2021-22. It was one of the chalkiest seasons in history, meaning that more top players (with short odds) won at a frequency that we haven't seen in recent years. According to the RickRunGood.com golf database, more than half of the winners last season (23 of…
