The Loop

Dave Tindall, one of the most respected handicappers in the industry, has covered every Open Championship since 1997—so we could think of no better expert to help us make our best for The Open. Tindall also predicted Lucas Glover’s win at 50-1 last week, so we’ll hope he keeps that momentum going into this week.

Listen to our Open betting preview, where our Christopher Powers makes the biggest outright bet of his life on one of the favorites. And be sure to check our final picks at GolfDigest.com, where we have a panel of experts including Pat Mayo, Rick Gehman, Brandon Gdula, Lee Alldrick and an anonymous caddie giving their best bets of the week.

Congrats to anyone who followed Stephen Hennessey’s advice last week on Cam Davis, cashing a 100-1 outright ticket at the Rocket Mortgage. The “Be Right” boys threw only a couple bets last week—and miraculously, they had all three players in the three-man playoff in Detroit. Unfortunately, that led to some hurt feelings … as you’ll hear our Christopher Powers lament some smack talking from his fellow co-host. 

We’ll look to make it back to back with Kenny Kim, host of the Fantasy Golf Degenerates podcast, now part of Mayo Media Network. Kenny is one of the most respected DFS writers in the industry with his contributions to Gup’s Corner—see who he’s playing this week at the John Deere Classic.

We’re joined by John Smoltz, MLB legend and one of the most avid golfers you’ll ever get the chance to talk to, on this week’s episode. Smoltz has been competing in a bunch of senior tour events this season—so we talked to him about his golf game ahead of the upcoming American Century; planning trips to top-100 courses with his teammates while he was pitching; and playing Augusta National with Tiger Woods.

Of course, we also preview the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic on this week’s episode—giving a few best bets ahead of what will probably be another Bryson DeChambeau win. Have a listen.

Max Homa joins the “Be Right” podcast to discuss his incredible past year of golf and the truth about whether tour pros share their own social-media posts, plus much more. First, our host Stephen Hennessey brags (just a little) about touting Jason Kokrak to win at 45-1 on the show last week—as he continues a hot stretch of golf betting (always a dangerous thing).

Will it be Christopher Powers’ turn to predict a winner this week? There’s some disagreement among the boys on who the best bet should be at the top of the board. Listen on for our deep dive on Jack Nicklaus’ changes at Muirfield Village and our picks and fades for the 2021 Memorial.
