How do you get to be someone who wins nearly $15m for winning a golf tournament? By winning or nearly winning previous golf tournaments and making a load of dosh along the way. Qualify for the season ending FedEx Tournament for Seriously Rich Golfers, and win a load more! That’s how.
Talk about it being nice work if you can get it. You’re seriously talented, I grant you. But jeez. Here, have a pile of money to qualify you for the chance to win a pile more. I wish my Dad had given me a set of golf clubs when I was two, and then made me go to the driving range eight hours a day!
Anyway, he didn’t, and therefore I have to put up with making money instead by following excellent golf tipsters and backing winners. Except this week, sadly, I didn’t.
Both Golf Insider and Weekly Golf Value tipped Justin Thomas who placed, and GI had another who tied for fifth. PGA Profit blanked, but the European bets – which I backed for the first time last week – threw up a couple to place for a small profit.
Right then. Time to hit the fairways. You’re never too old to learn. Give it a couple of years and I’ll be teeing off at The Masters. You see if I don’t…
