Golfbet Insider: WM Phoenix Open
While the rain in the Phoenix metro area this week provides a rare and valuable opportunity for teenagers to learn how to drive in it – seriously, months can elapse without the kind of moisture that creates this kind of testing ground in these climes – everyone with the intent for an A+ on the betting card would be wise to follow suit.
Golfbet Roundtable: Picks and predictions for WM Phoenix Open
Due to the rain, TPC Scottsdale will play wider and longer than usual, favoring the driver. This is not an unprecedented condition for the tournament, as it rained during Tiger Woods' last appearance in 2015.
DFSers are advised to stack players with the skill set for longer drives, while bettors can also widen their scope in their betting choices.
The Stadium Course will stretch, but the greens will be receptive, allowing longer irons to stick. Consider betting on lighter-hitting veterans with course experience.
Kevin Yu's Prospects for Olympics and Presidents Cup
Kevin Yu, currently ranked first from Chinese Taipei, has a good chance to qualify for the Olympic Men's Golf Competition in Paris and the Presidents Cup in Montreal, which will be contested within a two-month window this summer and early fall.
He won the bronze medal at the 2014 Asian Games and is looking forward to potentially representing Taiwan again.
The additional targets and focus for international talent make Yu an interesting consideration for fantasy gamers and bettors alike.
Power Rankings and Notable Players
Rickie Fowler, with his previous success at the WM Phoenix Open, is a strong contender for a top 20 finish. Despite recent slump, his emotional connection to the tournament makes him worth considering.
Other notable players to keep an eye on include Bud Cauley, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Rodgers, Davis Riley, and Kevin Streelman.
The tournament will provide a unique betting opportunity with the wider playing field due to rain and the potential for surprise performances.
