With the tournament heading to the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook, the conversation focuses on the types of golfers who thrive on this demanding layout, including players with strong iron play, solid ball striking, and good course history.
Stephie and Byron discuss several key names on the board, including Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth, along with placement bets on Billy Horschel, Davis Riley, and Jacob Bridgeman. They also dive into longshot outrights and value picks like Austin Smotherman and Ryo Hisatsune, plus some deeper darts for first-round leader bets.
In addition to betting markets, the episode touches on fantasy golf and DFS strategy, highlighting golfers who could provide value in tournament lineups while also discussing players they may fade this week. Stephie also gives her thoughts on Cam Young, while Byron explains why he’s fading Davis Thompson despite the recent hype.
