Event Analysis

STAKING: At PGT, we apply a strict and consistent staking strategy to every tip we publish. All published results on our site are calculated on the basis of one (1) unit per tip, unless otherwise stated. The actual dollar value of a unit (if any) is determined by each individual — it may be for a no-value bet with a friend, or $5 or $50. This methodology is for record-keeping and educational purposes only and is not a recommendation to bet or to bet in any particular way.
Competitor Tip Type Odds Units Result Rationale
Taylor Montgomery Win 610-1 1.00 LOSS

Montgomery like BHA (Hun An) & even Nate Lashey are BIG LUMPS and funny to watch but Taylor Montgomery through his career NEVER plays as good but here on this course.

MONTGOMERY yet to win a PGA event & his stats pretty so so but this course he performs, In 2024 finished T13 with -12, In 2023 T12 with -12 yet again.

So you never know but if you want shoties this week, I have not backed them but COREY CONNERS, RUSSELL HENLEY & AUSTIN ECKROAT have all been good throughout 2024 on GREEENS Putting, all sit top 10.

Gnerally it is the better putters that come to the fore here.

I put on $50 WIN @ $600, $50 on @ $32 x Top 10 & $50 on @ $11 x Top 20.

I also played BYEONG HUN AN with $100 on @ $46 to WIN, then ADAM HADWIN with $40 on @ $130 to WIN , then ADAM SVENSSON with $80 @ $140 to WIN, then EMILIANO GRILLO with $70 @ $170 to WIN, then DAVID LIPSKY with $30 @ $250 to WIN.

BYEONG HUN AN was good last week so if he wins he covers this week & last week outlay, strikes the ball so lovely, both ADAMS who are Taylors team mates can play well here so you never know & the lesser is LIPSKY really finished 2024 in a career high, he will fluke one of these but unlikely this, so he is more unlikely than MONTGOMERY even with him @ $610.

Only TAYLOR & MONTGOMERY will be resulted in WIN, TOP 10 & TOP 25 so 6 units in total or reduce down to $10 on all plays of mine to cover but as mentioned BYEONG HUN AN over due for a win.
Win Odds: WIN x1.00

Top 10 32-1 1.00 LOSS
Top 20 11-1 1.00 LOSS
Nick Taylor Win 140-1 1.00 WIN

Now I was watching Mr Taylor lates last season & he would have 1 or 2 tremendious days in low 60s to then push too hard and flop.

Now he owes us nothing but since he won the CANADIAN OPEN (23) & rallied hard to WIN the 2024 WM PHOENIX OPEN @ +$265 which he opened up with a scorching 60 on day 1, insane right?

That was the odds before Day 1 so I was already counting my $$$ I then cried when he carded a 70 on day 2, so so disheartened.

Day 3 he cards a 68 and like the commentators were saying very hard to come from 4 to 5 shots dwon after the 1st 9 on day 4.

He birdied the last 6 of 7 or something crazy to end up in a BLOODY Playoff, I COULD NOT watch it.

I typed in the event & low and behold he was in 1st so he won the playoff and I collected more than $30k. His 2024 season was not as strong as 2023 so in 24 he played in 27 events with that 1 x 1st, 3 x TOP 10s & 5 x TOP 25s. He ended up 46th in FEDEX points.

From 2023 in PGA alone he had 1 Win, 2 x 2nds, 6 x Top 10s & 15 x Top 25 all from 30 events.

He usually shines when the BIG GUNS (mostly top 10 in the word are absent.) they are here & as long as he can play like he has in previous events here he will figure.

Top 10 11-1 1.00 WIN
Top 20 4-1 1.00 WIN
