The Masters is the most bet golf event of the year, and apparently I am no exception there. So, with that in mind, here is what all I have in pocket already. I also threw together one Draftkings lineup: Corey Conners, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Patrick Reed, Russell Henley, Scottie Scheffler and Sahith Theegala. Here is to hoping Scheffler does not wind up withdrawing with his wife expecting. 4/13 Update: Continue reading My Masters Bets

I meant to get this posted last night, but got to hanging out with a friend until fairly late, ironically enough at the local golf course. The Charles Schwab this year feels big. It’s not most years, but it serves as a benchmark this year as the return of sports continues to trickle along. It gives this tournament somewhat of a Major feel. I even considered putting together a Pick 5 group like we often do for Majors. That being said, I have some action on the tournament this weekend. Most of these are off the board already. Sorry about … Continue reading Charles Schwab Challenge Bets
