The Loop

It’s one of the best weeks of the year—48 of the top 50 players in the world will tee it up at the 2021 Players Championship. One of those players, Matthew Fitzpatrick (now 16th in the world) joined us to talk us through how he’ll attack the course this week, and he explains what’s key to playing well at this Pete Dye design. Fitzpatrick is on a run of great golf—see if he likes his chances this week. (9:04)

We’re also joined by one of the best golf writers in the business, Kyle Porter of CBS Sports, to help us break down the jam-packed field at TPC Sawgrass. Is this the week Jordan Spieth puts it all together? Porter has a spicy take on Spieth’s odds to win. (17:00)

We hope you listened to us last week, as “Be Right” host Christopher Powers nailed Collin Morikawa (45-1) to win the WGC-Workday. Our Golf Digest contributor Pat Mayo also picked Morikawa in our weekly experts’ picks column at GolfDigest.com, so there was a lot of cash to be had!

We’re confident about our picks this week, too, with a special guest, Skylar Hoke (@SkyHookDFS) from Fade the Noise. Skylar is one of the sharpest DFS and betting analysts in golf, so he explains his strategy for fantasy lineups and outright wagers for Bay Hill.

It seems like the entire industry’s been hitting a ton of winners recently—we detail why we think we can keep that hot streak going at a tour staple, the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The news of Tiger Woods’ car accident broke right before we recorded our podcast, so we reacted to what Golf Digest’s Daniel Rapaport has reported on the Tiger news before breaking down this week’s WGC-Workday Championship at Concession and the Puerto Rico Open.

We break down our best bets for the WGC-Workday at Concession Golf Club, an unknown venue for most PGA Tour fans. What can we expect from Concession? We explain what we know about this new tour venue and who should contend here.

The “Be Right” boys continue the good vibes—Daniel Berger was the outright bet of two of our experts in the GolfDigest.com experts’ picks column last week (Rick Gehman and Brandon Gdula). You’re building up quite the bankroll if you’re following our advice.

We’ll keep it going this week with Golf Digest Staff Writer Daniel Rapaport joining us from on-site at Riviera Country Club, site of the 2021 Genesis Invitational. Rapaport made the trip from Pebble Beach, where he watched Berger, Jordan Spieth and Nate Lashley duke it out on Sunday, so he gives us his takeaways from Pebble before getting into the stacked field at Riviera (9:24).

Rapaport has also played Riviera countless times having grown up outside L.A., so he shares his insights and tells us which players he thinks will be contend this week.

When the vibes are good, there’s nothing better. The “Be Right” podcast was all over Brooks Koepka’s victory last week—and we all made some big bucks (hopefully you did, too)! That’s three consecutive wins for the pod, with Christopher Powers hitting Si Woo Kim at the AMEX, Stephen Hennessey nailing Patrick Reed at Torrey and everybody cashing on Koepka’s big-time win at the Waste Management.

The boys welcome Joe Idone, founder of the DFS Open and @TourPicks on Twitter, onto the podcast this week. Idone has some sharp analysis on the AT&T Pebble Beach field and offers his picks on who to target in DFS. Hennessey might’ve had a big week (for him) at the WMPO, but Idone has won six figures in DFS—so we’re all ears to his advice!

Thanks for listening and make sure to subscribe to “Be Right” wherever you get your podcasts. And check GolfDigest.com’s experts’ picks column, where we have an anonymous tour caddie giving his analysis for the week, plus some of the sharpest golf handicappers in the industry, including Pat Mayo, Rick Gehman, Brandon Gdula and Lee Alldrick, offering their picks (for free!).

It’s one of the best weekends for sports fans—and we have a jam-packed episode to get you pumped for the 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open!

First, Teddy Greenstein from PointsBet joins us to discuss the debut of the new streaming betting show he’ll be a part of from TPC Scottsdale—and what we should expect (1:23).

Then Cynthia Frelund, an analytics expert from NFL Network who dabbles in golf, joins us to break down the Waste Management (16:22).

Sure, it’s worth mentioning the “Be Right” boys nailed a winner in back-to-back weeks (Stephen Hennessey was on Patrick Reed last week after Christopher Powers nailed Si Woo Kim the week before), but we have a true data science expert to break down the action at TPC Scottsdale.

Our best bets include some cross-sport action—we’ll just hint that Frelund thinks there might be more points scored in the Super Bowl than some expect; and she breaks down some Chiefs and Buccaneers players who might over-or underperform based on expectations.

This might be our favorite episode of all time—marking one of the best weeks of the year. So please have a listen! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

We picked a winner last week! Christopher Powers bet Si Woo Kim—netting him a nice payday at 70-1—and some good bragging rights over the rest of the guys.

The PGA, European and LPGA Tours are all back this week—setting up an exciting weekend of golf. We spoke with two-time winner of the Abu Dhabi HSBC ahead of the event (3:13).

Fried Egg Paulie, one of the sharpest golf handicappers in the industry, joins us (25:50) to break down the AMEX and European fields. His model led to a 250-1 hit on Brian Gay a few months ago, and he was all over Brendan Steele, who came up short last week.

PGA West has given us three big-time longshots in the past four years. Is this another year for a big-time sleeper? Paulie has a BOLD prediction for one of the favorites that you have to hear, and the Be Right boys have an intriguing LPGA/European double that could be worth some pizza money.
