They will play the South Course on Saturday and Sunday.<br><strong>North Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is pretty easy, and players will have to go low to make the cut. It\u2019s a short Par 72, and the weather is going to almost perfect this week so I think players are going to need to go -3 or better on this course to make the cut, and the winner will have to go -6 or better. The greens are pretty easy to hit, there\u2019s only 1 hole with water in play so look for low scores here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course has teeth to it as it\u2019s long, and wayward shots will be penalized. There are 7 Par 4\u2019s at 450+ yards, and all the Par 5\u2019s are 550+ yards. The rough can be tricky to hit out of, and the texture of the greens makes putting difficult for players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Course history means a lot at this tournament as you\u2019ll see consistency with players performing good or not here. Long and accurate works well on all courses, but at this tournament it\u2019s essential to have a solid finish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: Total Strokes Gained Last 6 Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Xander Schauffele +2.40<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collin Morikawa +2.30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max Homa +2.30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patrick Cantlay +1.90<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sungjae Im +1.74<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eric Cole +1.68<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ludvid Aberg +1.54<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sepp Straka +1.44<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Min Woo Lee +1.43<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sahith Theegala +1.20<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!

He has played here every year since 2016, and he has one finish better than 13th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has finished 13th and 34th the last two years here, and although his stats are really good, he has to finish top 3 to return any value, and I don\u2019t see it with his course history. I won\u2019t have him in any head to heads, and I won\u2019t use him in DFS this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tony Finau<\/strong> &#8211; He has great history at this tournament as he has five top 10s in the last seven years, but I\u2019m not liking what I\u2019m seeing from him right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was bad at The Sentry finishing 38th, and last week he was 25th and we cashed a nice bet fading him in a head to head matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last 6 months, he\u2019s -0.44 strokes gained putting, and if he putts anywhere close to that this week he won\u2019t finish anywhere near the top 10, which is where he\u2019s priced right now. He\u2019ll be popular pick this week, but I\u2019ll be staying away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eric Cole<\/strong> &#8211; This pains me to pick Cole as he has been a DFS superstar, and he\u2019s always undervalued, but the books have him priced as a top 12 golfer this week so there\u2019s no value on him sadly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not long off the tee, and not very accurate and this South Course will eat you up if you\u2019re short and inaccurate. Putting has been his strong suit, but he missed the cut here last year, and there\u2019s no way I\u2019m willing to invest in him at this price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has solid finishes this year, but none in the Top 10, and that\u2019s what he\u2019ll need to finish here to return value and I just don\u2019t think he\u2019ll get close to top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peter Malnati $6300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He hasn\u2019t been good recently, but I just can\u2019t ignore his history here. He has finished 10th, 25th and 20th here the last three years, and I just need him to make the cut to get us weekend points. At this price, I\u2019ll trust in his course history to outperform his recent finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lanto Griffin $6800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lanto is another guy who is priced low, but who plays good here. He\u2019s finished 7th, 30th and 37th the last three years, and he\u2019s made the cut the last two weeks. His driving and putting are good, but his approach shots have been his achilles. He loves this place, I\u2019ll take him at this low price to make the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael Kim $7300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim has made the cut here in 5 out of the last 6 times he\u2019s played here, and he\u2019s made the cut the last two weeks including a 6th place finish last week. His putting and approach have been great the last six months as he\u2019s +0.56 putting and +0.44 approach and he\u2019s made the cut in 6 straight tourney dating back to last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Lineup: Peter Malnati $6300, Lanto Griffin $6800, Michael Kim $7300, Jason Day $9500, Sunjae Im $9900, Collin Morikawa $10,200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: Additional Betting Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-Patrick Cantlay\u2019s best finish here is 51st, but he hasn\u2019t played here in 4 straight years -Christian Bezuidenhout has finished top 10 in 3 out of the last 4 tournaments he\u2019s played in.<br>-Luke List won this tournament in 202, has finished 40th or better in 6 straight tournaments, and has made the cut in 9 straight tournaments.<br>-Will Zalatoris and Daniel Berger had solid finishes last week, and are both coming back from injuries.<br>-Jason Day and Sungjae Im are the only two golfers this week who have finished top 10 two years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazing-offer-from-expert-nfl-handicappers\"><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_55306\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qRtCKT21lMo?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"The American Express 2024 PGA Picks and Preview | Betting Tips, Course Preview, DFS and Predictions!\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qRtCKT21lMo\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qRtCKT21lMo\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"The American Express 2024 PGA Picks and Preview | Betting Tips, Course Preview, DFS and Predictions!\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Buckle up, because the PGA Tour heads west for a desert delight \u2013 The American Express, unfolding this week from January 18th to 21st in the sun-drenched Coachella Valley of La Quinta, California.

They will play the South Course on Saturday and Sunday.<br><strong>North Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This course is pretty easy, and players will have to go low to make the cut. It\u2019s a short Par 72, and the weather is going to almost perfect this week so I think players are going to need to go -3 or better on this course to make the cut, and the winner will have to go -6 or better. The greens are pretty easy to hit, there\u2019s only 1 hole with water in play so look for low scores here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This course has teeth to it as it\u2019s long, and wayward shots will be penalized. There are 7 Par 4\u2019s at 450+ yards, and all the Par 5\u2019s are 550+ yards. The rough can be tricky to hit out of, and the texture of the greens makes putting difficult for players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Course history means a lot at this tournament as you\u2019ll see consistency with players performing good or not here. Long and accurate works well on all courses, but at this tournament it\u2019s essential to have a solid finish<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: Total Strokes Gained Last 6 Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!

He has played here every year since 2016, and he has one finish better than 13th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He has finished 13th and 34th the last two years here, and although his stats are really good, he has to finish top 3 to return any value, and I don\u2019t see it with his course history. I won\u2019t have him in any head to heads, and I won\u2019t use him in DFS this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tony Finau<\/strong> - He has great history at this tournament as he has five top 10s in the last seven years, but I\u2019m not liking what I\u2019m seeing from him right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He was bad at The Sentry finishing 38th, and last week he was 25th and we cashed a nice bet fading him in a head to head matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In the last 6 months, he\u2019s -0.44 strokes gained putting, and if he putts anywhere close to that this week he won\u2019t finish anywhere near the top 10, which is where he\u2019s priced right now. He\u2019ll be popular pick this week, but I\u2019ll be staying away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eric Cole<\/strong> - This pains me to pick Cole as he has been a DFS superstar, and he\u2019s always undervalued, but the books have him priced as a top 12 golfer this week so there\u2019s no value on him sadly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not long off the tee, and not very accurate and this South Course will eat you up if you\u2019re short and inaccurate. Putting has been his strong suit, but he missed the cut here last year, and there\u2019s no way I\u2019m willing to invest in him at this price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He has solid finishes this year, but none in the Top 10, and that\u2019s what he\u2019ll need to finish here to return value and I just don\u2019t think he\u2019ll get close to top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peter Malnati $6300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He hasn\u2019t been good recently, but I just can\u2019t ignore his history here. He has finished 10th, 25th and 20th here the last three years, and I just need him to make the cut to get us weekend points. At this price, I\u2019ll trust in his course history to outperform his recent finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lanto Griffin $6800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Lanto is another guy who is priced low, but who plays good here. He\u2019s finished 7th, 30th and 37th the last three years, and he\u2019s made the cut the last two weeks. His driving and putting are good, but his approach shots have been his achilles. He loves this place, I\u2019ll take him at this low price to make the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael Kim $7300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Kim has made the cut here in 5 out of the last 6 times he\u2019s played here, and he\u2019s made the cut the last two weeks including a 6th place finish last week. His putting and approach have been great the last six months as he\u2019s +0.56 putting and +0.44 approach and he\u2019s made the cut in 6 straight tourney dating back to last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Lineup: Peter Malnati $6300, Lanto Griffin $6800, Michael Kim $7300, Jason Day $9500, Sunjae Im $9900, Collin Morikawa $10,200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Farmers Insurance Open: Additional Betting Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>-Patrick Cantlay\u2019s best finish here is 51st, but he hasn\u2019t played here in 4 straight years -Christian Bezuidenhout has finished top 10 in 3 out of the last 4 tournaments he\u2019s played in.<br>-Luke List won this tournament in 202, has finished 40th or better in 6 straight tournaments, and has made the cut in 9 straight tournaments.<br>-Will Zalatoris and Daniel Berger had solid finishes last week, and are both coming back from injuries.<br>-Jason Day and Sungjae Im are the only two golfers this week who have finished top 10 two years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazing-offer-from-expert-nfl-handicappers\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/qRtCKT21lMo\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25669"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25670,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25669\/revisions\/25670"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
