2026 US Open Final Thoughts, Weather, & Betting Card
Weather The biggest change from last night in the weather when looking at the HRRR is that Friday to me looks way more consistent throughout the day, but let’s start with the elephant in the room: Thursday. By 10AM, we are looking at 40 mph gusts (up to 45 mph by 1 pm), and consistent wind speeds of 20-27 mph. There is certainly a small pocket between 7:00 and 9:00 AM where players are going to miss it, but this is only really advantageous for 9 to 12 of those players’ holes

2026 RBC Canadian Open Final Thoughts
Weather Much has been made about the weather this week and this would be my interpretation from diving into windy.com (to my knowledge, a now superior source to wind finder.) What is most concerning about this forecast are the high gusts in the morning, but that is happening both days. Gusts are over 20 mph from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Thursday, and it’s pretty much the exact same story on Friday, so I’m not sure I see any real advantage here. I would say that this is enough w

2026 Memorial Tournament Final Thoughts
Weather This is going to be a healthy and firm Memorial. If we follow the trend that if conditions are neutral, almost every course is going to keep trending easier, I do think we fall into a +1.25 zone with scoring, slightly below the five year average here of +1.33, but this area has not seen any rain, and the wind really starts to kick up on Friday and Saturday. I would expect Thursday to be the easiest day, which should play around +0.75, and then the golf course to get p

2026 KLM Open Netherlands Tournament Preview
The KLM Open in the Netherlands returns to The International for the third year in a row, as well as also hosting back in 2019. The International is a short 6,914-yard par 71 with four par 5’s and 5 par 3’s. It is a modern course that is very open and exposed to the strong winds that have been prevalent here. The land is very undulating with mounds littered throughout the property and between each hole, while the greens tend to be elevated with significant fall offs and slope

2026 Charles Schwab Challenge Final Thoughts
Weather The biggest takeaway from this weather forecast is that this will undeniably be an easier Colonial. I see that Steve has already lined up pretty hard on round unders and winning score bets, and I absolutely think there is a scenario where the books are just completely off here and not understanding the impact that soft conditions can have on scoring. The average scoring average from the last five years at Colonial is +0.62, and our projections right now are at -0.25,

2026 Austrian Open Tournament Preview
The continental European swing continues with the Austrian Open, which this year is being held at Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith golf club (KSR). KSR had previously hosted a Hotel Planner tour event in 2003 that was won at -23 with an average score 0f -0.92. For this year's event, the nines have been swapped and a number of new tees have lengthened the course by a net 300 yards. This includes losing 100 yards by turning what was a short par 4 into a long par 3. A short par 5 has

2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson Final Thoughts
Weather The good news is that the super forecast looks positive for Thursday and Friday, and that there is a good chance that there won’t be any delays. With that being said, the rain is coming on Thursday evening, and the course will get dumped on over night. By this angle, I could certainly see the argument for PM/AM. With that being said, the weather looks abhorrent over the weekend. It’s a shame, because the softer conditions should offset a lot of the good done by the re

2026 Soudal Open Tournament Preview
The Soudal Open is back at Rinkven Golf Club in Belgium for the fifth year in a row. Rinkven is a very short 6,940-yard par 71 weaving through thick forest with some ponds and creeks occasionally coming into play. Despite its lack of length, it hasn’t been a complete pushover with narrow playing corridors and bentgrass greens. The last four years have seen a winning score and scoring averages of -13 and -0.04, -18 and -1.22, -17 and -0.65 and -13 and +0.28. Last year had a dr

2026 PGA Championship Final Thoughts
Weather While I will save most of the weather talk for the show tonight with the great Twitterless Steve, there are a few key main points I want to circle back to. Firstly, the narrative of these players annihilating Aronimink has gone way too far. I’m not betting winning score prop this week, but it’s pretty telling that the books are staying pretty sturdy on -12.5, despite multiple players and media members insinuating that this tournament can be won at 20-under par. I can

2026 Truist Championship Final Thoughts
Weather This isn’t great weather for the Truist. It’s going to be cold and rainy, particularly on Thursday, and I think there is a very solid chance that we see a delay off the bat. While there is not really a true wave split in a 72 man field, this is going to push Thursday AM into Thursday PM and Thursday PM into Friday AM, which may actually be the worst conditions, so perhaps I’m overthinking this, but the later tee times on Thursday might get hurt the most by this, espec

The European swing of the DPWT begins this week with the return of the Catalunya Championship at Real Club de Golf El Prat. Since a big renovation in 2003, El Prat has twice hosted the Open de Espana in 2011 and 2015. Both of those events were won at 10 under. There are 45 holes at the El Prat complex, and while the back nine this week will be the same as in those events, this week uses a different front nine making up the Pink course.

Weather I’m really excited to see how this golf course plays tomorrow. I’ve heard some takes from all over the map. Ultimately, I’m holding an over 273.5 (winning score will be harder than -14.5), which I would still say I feel good about, but Steve and I have gotten closer to an overall scoring average of +0.25 than our original opinion of +0.5. I just keep going back to LIV Miami 2024, where the scoring average was +0.15 with a field that is a stroke per round worse than th

2026 Turkish Airlines Open Tournament Preview
The Turkish Airlines Open finds a new home this year, at the National Golf Club -- down the road from the previous two hosts in the golf heavy Belek region. National is a 7,287-yard par 72 parkland course that winds through thick forests with water in play on 7 holes. There are Bermuda grass playing surfaces, but they have been overseeded with Poa Trivialis over the winter. Although I expect by late April the Bermuda will be coming back through.
