The CJ CUP Byron Nelson is here, which means it is time for birdies, longshots, emotional damage, and Scottie Scheffler being priced like he already won the tournament in a dream the sportsbook had.
On this episode of The Stephie Smalls Show, Stephie is joined by Boston Capper from Hold the Green on Inside Sports Network for a full Byron Nelson betting preview. Naturally, before anyone could talk golf, they had to cover the important stuff: Chicago weather, Boston sports misery, Patriots anxiety, Giants optimism, Mike Vrabel weirdness, and whether golf media should legally be allowed to speak during broadcasts.
Eventually, the show does get to golf. Scottie Scheffler is the obvious headline, sitting at an extremely short number in a field where he could absolutely boat race everyone. But Boston Capper refuses to bet any golfer at that kind of price, mostly out of principle, spite, and a healthy respect for financial self-harm.
The episode also digs into how the Byron Nelson course changes could impact scoring. The renovation may make things a little tougher, with more complex greens, tighter bunkers, and more creek danger, but nobody is expecting this to suddenly become the U.S. Open with better barbecue.
Among the bets discussed: Si Woo Kim in a first-round three-ball against Scottie and Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth top 20 after round one, Steven Jaeger round-one top 20, Sam Ryder first-round angles, Ryo Hisatsune in nationality markets, Davis Thompson top 20, Pierceson Coody placement bets, Sungjae Im as a longshot outright, and Jordan Smith top 30.
It is a golf betting preview with sharp angles, strong opinions, and just enough personal hatred to keep everyone honest. In other words: exactly how PGA betting content should sound.
