We’ve grown accustomed to Scottie Scheffler’s dominance, and it felt awkward when he showed us a human side as he did on Sunday at The Colonial. Andy had a pre-tourney bet on Sam Burns, so the hits keep coming for the BetspertsGolf staff. On to “Jack’s Place.”
Muirfield Village Golf Club has evolved into one of the Tour’s premier courses. The Jack Nicklaus design is a stern test of golf, and that, combined with Jack’s presence during the week, draws an elite-level field to Dublin, Ohio, every year. The 2020 redesign stretched the par-72 track to 7,533 from the tips, making it the 9th longest on Tour. The fairways are generous, but the rough is tall and thick if you miss the short grass. Players should also expect firm, contoured greens, with a premium put on elite approach play. As a result, birdies, especially on the Par 4’s, are difficult to come by.
As always, check out Ron‘s course preview for more details.
My goal with this piece is to touch on the golfers I’m targeting this week. There are millions of ways to bet on this beautiful game, so I’ll share my opinion on the best way to bet on each golfer in my player pool at this week’s event. When pricing out finishing position bets, I’ll often lean towards BetMGM even if there’s a better number elsewhere because of MGM’s advantageous dead-heat rules.
