Good morning! Andy (and the rest of the ISN team) is taking a well-deserved break this week, so there won't be a full Zurich Classic course breakdown. Fortunately, because I'm an obsessive editor who hates deleting things, I've got some of Andy's old writeups on TPC Louisiana, so I've taken some of those write-ups and put them together so those of you who are looking for a deep-dive on the Zurich will have some information. The course doesn't appear to have changed much (it's

Weather What’s conclusive from here is that the afternoon on both days should be more challenging than the morning, but given there are no staggered tee times, I wouldn’t argue for any sort of wave edge. The bigger story here is the firmness of this golf course and the revived undulation and bounciness of the new greens. This leads me to place an increased emphasis on overall APP play and ARG play. Putting might be more challenging this year as well, but the playing field is

How good was that Masters finish on Sunday? Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on the second green jacket and congratulations on any members on big Sundays. But, the focus now shifts to a tournament where Rory will not be making an appearance. The conversation will swiftly move to “Is Scottie back?” with Rory taking a hiatus, as this is the best Scheffler has looked this season (for my money at least) and the weekly question becomes: is he a playable DraftKings piece? As a fade

Weather For a full weather briefly, I would highly encourage you to check out the premium show that Steve and I did last night. Hopefully it was the perfect balance of fun and informative, and if you enjoyed it, we will absolutely bring it back for every major. Now that we have a super forecast, there are two key points that I really want to highlight. First, Thursday morning might be the most difficult conditions that players experience all week. If the scoring average isn’t

The Masters is one of the best sporting events in the world and is certainly one of the highlights of the golf calendar. What are the wagers you should make sure to put down before the first shots leave the tee box on Thursday morning? Let the Inside Sports Network crew give you their favorite plays this week, and be sure to subscribe this week for our favorite plays, up-to-the-minute weather reports and course details, showdown plays, DFS ownership and strategy, and so much

I'm not sure if there's another golf course in the world where I know every hole, where I can sketch it in my mind as you're talking about it. I know every contour, every distance to every trouble area, the minefields you need to navigate. Pebble Beach and St. Andrews come close; Kiawah because I've played it. But Augusta is the rare course where nearly every hole stands out. They're named, of course, which adds to the mystique, but there's hardly a dud across the 18 holes of

Welcome in friends, the goal of this written preview is to pack in as much data-driven actual information about what matters at Augusta National, both in terms of creating a winning DFS lineup, and picking the winner. We will sort through all of the noise, and by the end, hopefully all of your questions are answered. The article will follow the same format that I’ve do every week, but we are going to pay some extra attention to both trends that are actually relevant, as well

This is a simple list stating where I think the market is for each player at the masters. I have nothing to say about the olds, amateurs (mostly) and some other guys in the 6’s. I did not include anyone who I think is a reasonable play for me. No Vijay Singh or Freddy Couples for me thanks. Scottie (14.0) - very cold; I think the market still has not seen enough for him to warrant this price tag; I think this is likely a pretty low ownership spot based on this weekend. Most

Weather This is certainly one of the more extreme forecasts I’ve seen in quite some time, and especially after far too of an aggressive move at Houston last week on the over, I’m taking a more conservative approach this week. The potential for rain and delays loom large here, and Sunday looks particularly awful from a rain perspective, so let’s focus on what we do know and can control, which is the super forecast across Thursday and Friday. To me, this looks like AM/PM should

Weather I don’t see a whole lot here and I would say I’m a bit surprised that Datagolf is reflecting a wave edge for AM/PM. I would probably still lean towards AM/PM, but the slight wind gusts that are picking up on Thursday afternoon do not even begin under 5:00 PM when that entire wave is finishing their round anyway. I don’t think there is much there to be honest. I would much rather attack the winning score prop, which Steve and I have both bet and comment on the fact tha

Overview If you want to see professional golfers get put in a blender at one of the most insane golf courses in the world, this is the best week of the year. The Gary Player Course at DLF Golf and Country Club will host the Indian Open on the DPWT for the fourth year in a row and has developed a reputation for ridiculous golf. DLF is a 7,416-yard par 72 that features highly contoured Bermuda greens (some holes have two greens), narrow fairway corridors lined by dense jungle,

Former Winners   2025: Min Woo Lee (-20) over Gary Woodland, Scottie Scheffler (-19) Winner Odds: Lee (35/1) Scoring Average: -1.31 2024: Stephan Jaeger (-12) over Tony Finau, Thomas Detry, Alejandro Tosti, Scottie Scheffler, Taylor Moore (-11) Winner Odds: Jaeger (45/1) Scoring Average: +0.01 2023: Tony Finau (-16) over Tyson Alexander (-12) Winner Odds: Finau (16/1) Scoring Average: +0.66 2022: Jason Kokrak (-10) over Kevin Tway, Scottie Scheffler (-8) Winner Odds: Kokrak (

Weather There’s a lot of good news in this weather report. The early week rain was not half as significant as the early forecast displayed, and the course should be just as firm as we have seen over the last couple years at this event. Secondly, Thursday and Friday mornings look near identical from a wind standpoint, and while Friday afternoon looks a touch easier than Thursday afternoon, I would not say the difference is strong enough for me to advocate for a wave advantage.

I took a few minutes to expand on something I will be looking at for this week called the Manlati/Moore Corollary (Gained on Approach, good finishes at Sawgrass leading into Valspar). I brought it up on the show that Taylor Moore and Peter Malnati had good ball striking form leading in with made cuts at The Players prior to Valspar. I like this trend and will use it to build a pool and have already used it for my betting card. Below is a list of players that gained more than

The DPWT begins the Asian swing with the Hainan Classic at the Mission Hills Resort Haikou in China. The Blackstone Course hosted this event last year (and the 2011 world cup of golf won by Gary Woodland and Matt Kuchar), but this year there is a change to a Pro-am format. The first 36 holes are split over the Blackstone and Vintage courses at Mission Hills before staying on the Blackstone for the weekend. The Blackstone course is a very lengthy 7,637 par 72 despite being dow

Former Winners   2025: Viktor Hovland (-11) over Justin Thomas (-10) Scoring Average: +0.65 Winner Odds: Hovland (60/1) 2024: Peter Malnati (-12) over Cameron Young (-10) Scoring Average: +0.39 Winner Odds: Malnati (330/1) 2023: Taylor Moore (-10) over Adam Schenk (-9) Scoring Average: +0.92 Winner Odds: Moore (60/1) 2022: Sam Burns (-17) over Davis Riley (-17) (Playoff) Scoring Average: -0.76 Winner Odds: Burns (21/1) 2021: Sam Burns (-17) over Keegan Bradley (-14) Scoring A

Weather There has been much discussion about the weather this week and I would absolutely say that this is one of the most variable forecasts I have seen in awhile, at an even that is already prone to unforeseen weather circumstances. The prevailing narrative this week has been that AM/PM has an advantage, and I would agree with that for the most part, mainly because Friday morning looks awful. Yet what somewhat balances that out is that Thursday morning has extreme wind gust

Spaun (-12) (Playoff) Winner Odds: McIlroy (11/1) Scoring Average: +0.65 2024: Scottie Scheffler (-20) over Xander Schauffele (-19) Winner Odds: Scheffler (+550) Scoring Average: -0.72 2023: Scottie Scheffler (-17) over Tyrrell Hatton (-12) Winner Odds: Scheffler (10/1) Scoring Average: +0.07 2022: Cameron Smith (-13) over Anirban Lahiri (-12) Winner Odds: Smith (33/1) Scoring Average: +0.35 2021: Justin Thomas (-14) over Le
