Course Fit Profiling Model And Ratings For Golf Betting


Course Fit is a variable that's given me a significant edge in golf betting through the years. Course fit is hard to quantify, with no specific numbers widely available. Through experience, analysis & watching countless events (empirical learning) I formed a strong intuition re course specific player suitability. I developed the course fit model above which puts a rating on my analysis using my profiling manual inputs. (note: a very strong course fit rating equates to ~2 exp. SG/R vs a neutral course, as a guide) There are outlier cases: Bryson at Augusta would be expected to pick up around 2.5-3 strokes a round on average for example with his driving and long iron ability.

For best results on each players course fit numbers for the golf tournament in question, input the ratings from my course fit profiling manual (click link for info) which includes key attribute ability data from each player and a number of courses on the golf tour rota. I've always given a strong weighting in my tissue odds to course fit. You can use your own inputs on the interactive model above too. Click the manual picture below to see all details about it....

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
