The Players Championship 2023 - TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

 Tough to call here this week with yet again a star studded lineup and if it's half as good as Bay Hill last week, Riviera & Phoenix last month, then it's gonna be unmissable viewing this coming Sunday night.

Time to go in on JT I think and I'll chance Shano one more time as well given his liking for Sawgrass and I'll twist again with Adam Scott having been onboard with both in recent weeks. Tommy Fleetwood hasn't won anywhere since the Dark Ages (last November at the Nedbank !!) yet I fancy his chances this week at Sawgrass where he has played well in the past having posted a brace of TOP-7s in 2019 & 2018 before finished 22nd twelve months ago. Three T-20s from his 6 starts on the PGA Tour this season (strangely better reading than best placed 38th from 2 starts on the DPT) means the Englishman arrives here in solid form and he could well surprise at nice odds.


Selections:

2.5 pts e/w J. Thomas @ 20/1 - 8 places
1 pt e/w S. Lowry @ 40/1 - 10 places
1 pt e/w A. Scott @ 66/1 - 10 places
1 pt e/w T. Fleetwood @ 60/1 - 10 places

1.5 pts e/w J. Day @ 28/1 - 8 places

Puerto Rico 2023 - Grand Reserve GC, Puerto Rico

 Its Wednesday, 17:00 here in Dublin so that indicates as I write this post that I only have time for the selections.

Max McGreevy has been woeful of late but I'm always interested in these lower fields and thanks to recent form his price is OK @ 100/1 - 7 places. Not sure its real value but its a bet I want to take given the name

Brice Garnett has form here - He's worth a stab @ 33/1 - 7 places

Erik Barnes has been ultra consistent in the KFT level and this field is no better being a PGA event - 28/1 is the max I'd be willing to have an interest but found it hard to leave him out


Selections & Staking Plan


1 pt e/w E. Barnes @ 28/1 - 7 places
1 pt e/w B. Garnett @ 33/1 - 7 places
1 pt e/w M. McGreevy @ 100/1 - 7 places
