Honda Classic 2023 - PGA National, Palm Beach Florida

I may have priced this event totally wrong as my prices are way out of sync with the market. Perhaps that presents value but I'm really struggling with it. This isn't a great field and one player that I'm totally out of kilter with appears to be Harris English. Taking the quality of the field into account, I still don't get how he's only 35/1 best price. Perhaps he is a 35/1 shot especially if Thomas Detry is the same price! But at that price I'd much prefer Taylor Pendrith please ! 25th on debut here twelve months ago and despite a stop-stsrt to the current season I think the Canadian can kickstart the season here this week. He has one T-10 from his 8 starts and that came just 2 starts ago at the AT&T whilst he posted a T-15 at Hilton Head. He's worth a play here.

Genuinely was interested in Denny McCarthy here but I'm aghast at best odds of 25/1!! Do I need to give this game up ?  On a serious note, I really considered sitting this event out. The LPGA had a competitive field this week but I can't really take a third week looking at scores during the night as it's tour descends on Thailand.  For what it's worth I think Jennifer Kupcho will go well there and I have backed her @ 100/1 !

With a difficult event in India being played on a course that I hate looking at, I'll complete the week's staking plan here in Florida by adding Billy Horschel @ 25/1 - 8 places (22s my tissue) and a speculative hunch that Jason Dufner could surprise all @ 250/1 - 8 places.

Selections

1.5 pts e/w T. Pendrith @35/1 - 8 places

2 pts e/w B. Horschel @ 25/1 - 8 places

0.5 pts e/w J. Dufner @ 250/1 - 8 places 

.75 pts e/w J. Kupcho @ 100/1 - 6 places (LPGA Thailand)

Indian Open 2023 - DLF CC, New Delhi, India

 Just two selections from my 22-man shortlist below here this week. I hate this course, Eddie Pepperell is correct in his summation that it was designed by Satan! David Horsey was considered but left off at the last moment.

Genesis Invitational 2023 - Riviera GC, Los Angeles

 Tiger Woods all but ended his career during his hosting of this tournament 2 years ago when seriously injured in a car crash but he sensationall announced he will return to competitive golf here this week having not played since The Open last summer. We surely don't expect him to complete 4 rounds here this week as he prepares most likely for his next tournament at Augusta.

It's a brilliant field again this week where it will be tough to get the market leaders beat but I've gone with the 4 players from my final 22-man shortlist below who I think could put a solid tournament together !

Data Dimension Pro-Am 2023 - Montague,Outeniqua & The Links, Fancourt

Just the one selection for me here and a player I backed recently at The Joburg Open. Martin Vorster won't be 50s for much longer on either the Sunshine or Challenge tours.

Selection
