Brutal

[Brady Wilson, PGA @bwilson_coach]

Coming off of a good week for @BackspinGolf910's #BWinners as we went 24-15 (61.54%) in #GolfGaming101; now up 38.17 units for the year; and won our weekly H2H matchup bet with @CohensCornerAZ as Kohles finished T26 and James finished T38, while Griffin missed the cut. That brings our season long record to 15-11-2 vs the #EarlyWedge boys.

This week @CohensCornerAZ took Hideki Matsuyama and I took Tom Kim! Picks to click for the @WyndhamChamp @Sedgefield1926 presented by the @PGATOUR (using @DKSports odds):

Who's your Player of the Year?

[Brandel Chamblee @chambleebrandel]

With 3 tournaments remaining that Scheffler will likely play this FedExCup season, there’s a case to be made for and against him being voted PGA Tour Player of the Year for the 5th consecutive year.

The case for him to be POY is pretty straight forward.

In 2026 he leads the PGA Tour in:

Scoring average
FedExCup points
World Ranking points gained
Birdies
Bogey avoidance
Strokes gained total
Strokes gained tee-to-green
Greens in regulation
Scrambling
Putts made >25 feet
Front 9 scoring
Back 9 scoring
Late scoring
Par 4 scoring
Most top 10s
Most top 3s
Final round performance
Cumulative major scoring
Money ( for the 5th year in a row… he would be the 1st player in the history of the pga tour to do this)

The case against him is that no player has ever been voted PGA Tour POY (since it began in 1990) who won just once during the season…but then no player has been so dominant from a scoring and statistical standpoint who won just once during the season.

With no clearly dominant player thus far in either the majors or in wins, the @PGATOUR playoffs will have added meaning in determining the POY for 2026.

Coming off of a good week for @BackspinGolf910's #BWinners as we went 25-19-1 (56.82%); now up 35.45 units for the year; and won our weekly H2H matchup bet with @CohensCornerAZ as Koivun won outright and Ghim missed the cut. Season long record 14-11-2 vs the #EarlyWedge boys.

This week @CohensCornerAZ took Ben Griffin and I took two longshots in Ben Kohles and Ben James for the @RocketClassic; a 2 on 1 Matchup. Let's Go BENS!

Using @btngolf for H2H matchups, I also like these on @DKSports:
Koivun -150 vs Fowler
@DalkeKong3 -152 vs @RRuffels
Brennan -116 vs Spieth
Spaun -108 vs Griffin

Be$t Bet$ for #GolfGaming101 on @BackspinGolf910 for Saturday, July 11th. "Doubling Down" on the pre-tournament #GolfPicks from early this week.

[Brady Wilson, PGA @bwilson_coach]

This week for the @ScottishOpen, using @btngolf, I am taking Wyndham Clark Tournament H2H vs @CohensCornerAZ's pick of Tyrell Hatton. Clark ranks 10th overall on our model and very strong in strokes gained around the green vs Hatton who ranks 72nd and struggles in that category.

[Brady Wilson, PGA @bwilson_coach]

Here are my BE$T BET$ for Golf Gaming 101 from @BackspinGolf910 for Saturday, July 4th 🇺🇸! Make sure you "Opt-In" on @DKSports to get boosts and promos before placing your bets. Going to be a sweat with the H2H bet with @CohensCornerAZ , Poston vs Cole! C'mon JTP!
