Wow!
When it comes to reflecting on a year in golf betting next December, this past weekend will get more than a passing mention, I’m sure. A quite superb effort from Weekly Golf Value has dragged the golf portfolio as a whole into profit, despite every other tipster currently registering a loss.
It was a very busy week all round, with there being three tournaments for our experts to go at as opposed to the usual two.
Drawing a blank in the DP Tour event, WGV came into their own in the other two. First we had the top two – Bubba Watson at 90/1 and Harold Varner at 66/1. Watson had come from seemingly nowhere on the last day to look all over the winner as he posted a score that left him one shot clear of Varner as the latter played the last. In what were amazing #scenes, Varner promptly chipped in from way off the green to claim his first ever Tour victory. What a way to do it, and to be honest for WGV, what a touch he pulled off for them. There was big value in the 66/1 shot and the bet was staked accordingly, landing us a big win. With Watson in 2nd and another place return in Matthew Wolff (50/1), it produced a very nice profit indeed.
But we weren’t done there. Come the evening and the AT&T over Stateside (and what a picturesque course!), another debut Tour winner, Tom Hoge, overcame Jordan Speith over the last few holes to land us a winner at 60/1.
What. A. Day.
The other guys I follow were left in the shade a little, but honourable mentions to PGA Profit who found Troy Merritt to place at 125/1 for a profit on the week, and to Tour Tips who had identified Spieth as an each way pick and thus returned a small profit. As did Golf Insider who had Joel Dahman at 80/1 place in the US, and Adri Arnaus at 100/1 in the Saudi tournament.
All in all though, it’s Weekly Golf Value that was the star turn this week. Anyone follow in their lead this week coming, I wonder?
