After a month of getting nowhere with Twitter re Sundog acct after it was compromised I've accept defeat & have changed this account to Sundog. I'll post all usual previews etc thru here. I've now 8K less followers than before! Please all RT this to help me get some back! Thanks!
Seen a lot of people piling in to the Valspar this week for various reasons.
All I see heading in to Sunday is 26 players within six shots of the lead on a fantastic course which can’t be overpowered & where there is a premium on fairways & greens.
How golf should be.
Hi all, here is my main Sundog PGA preview. As always feedback/thoughts welcome.
Also really appreciate the RT’s as I try to get my following back after the twitter shenanigans!
If I could get another 500 back before tee off that would be great! Thanks!
Hi all, here is my Sundog US Open preview. As always appreciate the feedback and the RT's. Particularly appreciate the RT's this week as I continue to piece my twitter following back together. Thanks!
No idea why this continues to be a discussion with ‘Gooch example’ always brought up.
Gooch chose to leave mainstream golf to play an exhibition format, which doesn’t & never has met OWGR points criteria.
In return he’s earned 18mill + in 1yr so amply compensated. End of story.
I’ll save anyone the hassle of reading this. Basically ‘Hadn’t played well enuf to get in to PGA mega bucks events this year so rather than trust my game to play my way in I thought I’d take the guaranteed easy money elsewhere’.
Perhaps it might have been a good idea if A Question of Sport had err…remained a sports quiz, which was hosted by a sportsperson with sportsmen/women on the panel. Just a thought.

Hands down the greatest golf story of 2023.
After everything Camillo Villegas has been through both off & on the golf course for him to win again is incredible. Absolutely wonderful stuff.
Here is my preview of the RBC Canadian Open where my team it is fair to say, is ‘speculative’. An old friend makes a welcome return to the picks as well…
RT’s as always appreciated as I try to get 7500 followers back still! Thanks!
I see Niemann shot 59 on LIV. He was & still remains the 1 player I am pissed off went to LIV. A huge talent who should be in the full competitive arena. I hope he finds a way in to the Majors but ultimately only himself (Sergio/bad management advice) to blame if he doesn’t.
Here is my preview of the Genesis Invitational.
A dangerous thing to say allowing for how 2024 is going so far but not a week for leftfield picks.
As always RT's & feedback appreciated.
Superb comments from Mackenzie Hughes, we could do with another 50 like him out there.
Also that 'walk & talk' was another reminder of how good Trevor Immelman is in his CBS role. Shame we don't get to hear more of him over here.
Here is my Sundog preview of this weeks Players Championship where amongst the more obvious shorter priced selections there is one triple digit play I really, really like.
Harman may not be a 'sexy name' in the golfing world but you can do nothing but admire how he has played this week. A clinical performance, which if it had been delivered by Tiger in his heyday or Rory, would have had people drooling.
Twitter’s obviously been a bit of a downer for me over past few weeks but have been blown away with the support over past 24hrs. Have added over 1K followers on this acct, which is incredible.
Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the support.
Only another 7K or so to go!!
We go again! Here is my first preview of 2024 for The Sentry. Plenty of ups & downs ahead for the year I'm sure!
Would really appreciate the RT's to start off the year. I'm determined to get those 7K followers back I lost last year. Thanks!
I’m sure these guys on PGA Tour live feel they need to just come up with something to say about the random guys who come on early in coverage.
Apparently Hayden Buckley has been playing some “sneaky good golf”.
..Hasn’t made either cut this yr & hasn’t posted a top 50 since May…
Here is my final PGA preview of 2023 for the RSM Classic.
Thank you to all those who have read the previews this year and followed me again after all the Twitter shenanigans! Hopefully we can finish 2023 in style!
The kind of thing that infuriates in the coverage. We work out Rahm has won first hole from the roar while we are watching Morikawa twiddle his thumbs on the 1st tee. Why not show the putt live???
A fantastic 2 weeks in US is coming to an end as head home tomorrow.
Seen some brilliant golf with TPC delivering as always & then another superb event this week on a great course.
Have met some g8 people, we’ve had g8 weather & have turned a profit.
Time for a final meal & beer!
I can’t be only person who has reached saturation point with all the $ amounts that get bandied around in golf now between LIV/PGA. 500/50 mill for players here & there, 3 billion pots etc.
Really don’t give a crap any more, just shut the fuck about it all & just play golf!! 😡
Hi all,
Still unable to access my
@Sundogmonkey
account so posting my Heritage preview here. Please can everyone RT as don't want people to miss it. Thanks!
I once sat next to Boo in a bar In Jacksonville as he tucked in to a v large burrito & told him I’d had a small wager on him for the week ahead & wished him luck.
He looked at me earnestly & said. “You shouldn’t gamble boy”…
Here is my Sundog Open Championship preview. As always feedback welcome. In addition really appreciate the RT’s this week. Still trying to claw back the bulk of my followers from the Twitter fiasco earlier this yr! Thanks!
Big boots to fill obviously but delighted to be stepping in for
@BenColeyGolf
while he is off.
Here is my Sporting Life preview of the ZOZO Championship.
Here is my John Deere Classic preview.
In the words of Countdown (seminal British quiz show for those in the US) it’s three from the top & one from the bottom.
PGA Championship results.
Koepka 1st!!!
Rose T9th
Schauffele 18th
S W Kim MC
English MC
Fleetwood & Jaeger FRL -
A great week in the end!
Here’s the seasons updated P&L which is nicely in profit now.
Back on the saddle. Here is my preview of the 3M Open.
It's been a frustrating six weeks or so with a lot of near misses and disappointing Sunday's. Hopefully this lot can change that this week!
And here is my PGA preview for
@paddypower
. I’ll be back for Paddy on Weds AM with my ‘specials’ piece incl FRL. Had good success with that preview for Masters as landed Rahm in a tie for outright FRL & a full FRL place for Day.
This is the kind of thing that massively irritates me. How about celebrating what looks like being a great maiden win for a hugely talented player. It hasn’t ‘fallen flat’ it’s the beauty of the PGA Tour that anyone can win on their day.
First designated event that’s felt flat. No one’s fault. But no Rahm or Scottie, Rory way back, Spieth MC, and Wyndham Clark with a 4 shot lead with 5 to play. Plus, Quail Hollow is not exactly Riviera. NBA + NHL playoffs too. Will be interesting to see the ratings on this.
Here is my Valspar preview. At least we have no Scottie to beat us in to second place this week!
Looking forward to another great week on the course. Just need a winner now!
My Puerto Rico picks.
Lashley 35/1
Higgo 35/1
Suh 40/1
Trainer 50/1
Laird 60/1
1.5pts e/w on Lashley, Higgo & Suh, remainder 1pt e/w.
All v straightforward really but some brief thoughts. 1/3
So after correctly predicting Nicolai Hojgaard to be one of 6 Ryder cup picks,
@WilliamHill
have settled my bet as a dead heat. £100 returned £33.33, great profit I know.
Look at the chats attached to see the incompetence of these people.
RT to hold them accountable!!!
Not sure if anyone else agrees with this but I’m not sure what tournament Dan is watching. I’m watching the one with some of the worlds best battling a superb links test in challenging conditions. A superb spectacle.
@NoLayingUp
Big fan of pod guys but Soly for the love of god please can you stop dumping on PGA Tour each week by constantly saying the event was disappointing/no big name’s in frame etc.
What you r dumping on is the thing u should be celebrating! The strength in depth & 1/3
Here is my preview of Cognizant etc, etc..
Seven this week but all at big odds in what it is fare to say is a speculative team. Player write ups slightly shorter than normal A, cos there's 7 & B, its been a v long day!
Here are my thoughts on this weeks Sony Open.
Apologies player write ups a bit shorter than usual due to time constraints today. Same thought process as normal though in finding them & hopefully a winner in there!
As previously mentioned no full preview for Wyndham as am away but here are my picks along with some brief thoughts.
J Thomas 33/1
C Davis 40/1
K Streelman 80/1
T Duncan 150/1
R Moore 250/1
All 1pt e/w except JT 1.5pts e/w.
All 1/5 1st 8.
Here is my Byron Nelson preview. A week for speculation.
I hugely appreciate all the RT's and follows today. Have got about 300 followers back, 7700 to go!
Please keep re tweeting. Thanks!
Here is my preview of this weeks BMW Championship.
Hopefully we turned a corner with Schenk's strong performance last week. Looking to finish the season in style!
Is this really a view held by some people? PIP, Wyndham rewards, Aon Risk Reward, massive Fedex Cup pot, smaller/opp field events with big purses. They’ve done everything but stick a sign up on PonteVedra Beach with a wheelbarrow saying “collect your $$$ here”!!
This really shouldn't need saying but getting to see Tom Kim, Sungjae & others battling to make cut today is a reminder how integral & compelling a part of pro game the cut is.
It should be a part of every event a year other than Sentry, TC & at a push 1 or 2 more. No debate.
Here are my thoughts on this weeks Arnold Palmer Invitational. Five selections who judging by our past two weeks will contrive a way of finishing a shot out of the places come Sunday!
I know the old adage of ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ but a US Ryder Cup team inc JT, Finau, Morikawa & Cam Young doesn’t look anywhere near as invincible now as it did 6 months ago.
100/1 pick Pendrith tied for the lead heading in to the weekend & 60/1 Hadwin & 200/1 Tarren 3 & 4 shots back respectively, what could possibly go wrong!
Evening all, here is my Travelers preview. It should probably come with a health warning after last week mind you! Equally tho of course it means we’re due a good week!
I’ve actually got a lot of time for Radar. Think he does a great job on the course & fair play to him for being willing to dress up & act the buffoon to bring a bit of humour.
Here is my Sundog Masters preview. Certainly been a tricky one this but happy with where I've ended up.
As always thanks all for reading & appreciate the feedback and RT's this week.
Back in the saddle, here is my RBC Heritage preview.
Headline pick leapt of the page, although sadly the prices which were about a couple of hours ago have long gone.
Rocket Mortgage preview out within the hour. In the meantime a clue to one of my picks. I’m going with a player who’s results in events finishing in July since 2019 read 16 2 3 3 2 2 4 19 13 11 2.
Here is my preview of the Fedex St Jude Championship.
Three weeks for us to turn around what has been undeniably disappointing summer. High hopes for this lot though!
Absolutely honoured to be invited on to
@DPWorldTour
new weekly Tips podcast to help preview this weeks two events. Here’s a small clip along with links to the full pod. Do give it a listen, there’s some great selections & loads of nuggets of info from the panel!
My biggest takeaway of the week though is how refreshing it was to have an event, which rewarded accuracy over big hitting. If only this was the norm rather than exception.
Here is my preview of this weeks Tour Championship. selections in both the 'to win Fedex' & 'low 72 hole score' markets.
No doubt this season has been a grind at times so a huge thanks to all who have stuck with the previews.
An Aberg v Cole dual @ RSM would b a fascinating way to end PGA yr.
Talk about contrasts, in 1 corner u have a ‘can’t miss stud’ out of college with golfing world @ his feet & in other a guy who’s ground thru mini tours for yrs to get where he is.
Where on Team Eric naturally!
Curious. Do you think there was any part of Rahm, even a small part, sat at home watching that thinking ‘Shot, I made the wrong move’?
The guys a competitor, have to think he misses the heat of events like that.
Something new for 2022, a brand new golf betting podcast hosted by
@Sundogmonkey
mixing the best weekly PGA tour picks with a great alternative music playlist. Watch this space for how to win a free bet each week & how to help pick tunes for the playlist!
Looks like PGA will lose Rahm, Finau & Hatton in space of a couple of weeks. In return it has gained Aberg, Min Woo & Hojgaard so the cycle of golf goes on & it will survive. That said I will be amazed if a deal is not done in coming weeks/months that brings them back together.
As mentioned earlier no full Houston preview due to traveling today but here are my picks.
Willy Z 18s
T Moore 70s
Champ 125s
Stallings 125s
R Moore 150s
All 1/8 1st 8. All 1pt e/w except Willy Z who is 2.5pts e/w.
A few brief thoughts..
Texas connections always key in TX 1/3
Stumbled across Loudermilk on Netflix a few weeks back & have now got thru all 3 seasons.
Absolute gem of a show. Hilarious, heart warming & a great musical undercurrent.
Everyone needs to watch it so Netflix commission it for new seasons. Can’t believe they won’t pick it up.
Worth staying up for. Tremendous from Sahith.
Can’t remember the last time I went 2.5pts e/w in a regular full field event but just felt really strongly about him this week, just felt he had everything going for him.
Well done if you were onboard!
Clark @ Bay Hill, Xander at Sawgrass & now T Moore here, that’s three runner up finishes in 4 events. Add in R Moore finishing 5th @ Valspar & it’s fair to say we are knocking on the door.
Have to think we get one over the line soon!
I hope we get a great showdown between Ludvig & Eric tomorrow & with all due respect to Ludvig’s backers I really hope Eric takes it down.
My biggest hope for the day tho is that the effing red button works so we can actually watch it.
Back in the saddle after a week off, here is my preview of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Must be said I really, really like our headline pick [Really like them all obviously!].
A very enjoyable first day on the course, particularly with Xander this morning.
No joy from our FRL guys unfortunately but happy with our overall position particularly as 5 of our 6 were out PM.
Time for a well earned beer & something to eat!
Morning all, if you didn’t see it yesterday here is my main Sundog preview of PGA.
Have really appreciated the RT’s & feedback so far this week. Thanks!
I know Aberg’s a big talent but should he really b 10pts shorter on exchange than English for example, who is a 4 time W, has 3 top 12 finishes in last 6 starts & was 8th in US Open 2 weeks ago. Seems to me people are looking to latch on at any price as he’s the ‘shiny new toy’.
Min Woo Lee wins the Aussie PGA. Have to think he’s going to be a huge player on the world stage in 2024.
With him, Ludvig & Nicolai all winning over the past week it’s a remind of the serious level of young talent coming through.
Evening all, here is my Charles Schwab Challenge preview. Always a great event!
Have really appreciated the RT’s over past two weeks as I piece my twitter following back together so apologies for asking again but they’re still hugely appreciated. Thanks!
Morning all, if you missed it yesterday here is my Byron Nelson preview.
Happy to speculate this week altho with Spieth out now odds might get tweaked slightly.
Really appreciate all the RT’s/support as I morph this account in to Sundog. Thanks!
I see it’s LIV week again. Gets me thinking about how certain players careers have stalled since joining LIV with 2 who spring most to mind Niemann & Ancer. Both were on the up with g8 things in particular expected from Niemann. Both gone backwards majorly tho since defecting.
Legacy in sport is built on history of events. It means something that Ronnie has 8 UK titles as he’s bettered Davis/Hendry.
People talk about Tiger’s record in API/Memorial not WGC’s. If Rahm won 8 Memorials it has context. Winning 8 LIV Chicago’s doesn’t. Rahm said it himself.
It’s barely Feb & I’m all ready getting board of ltd field/no cut stuff.
Another ltd field next week then Bay Hill to come before TPC.
Increase purses, give star players more $ by all means but for gods sake get rid of this no cut ltd field stuff. If I wanted that I’d watch LIV.
At what point does Glover become a serious Ryder Cup suggestion or is he already? 3 top 6s & a W in his last 5 starts & who knows another W or @ least big finish to come this week.
The ‘Horschel rule’ was brought in to ensure US got the hot hand in the team & he’s certainly it.
A great walk with Ryan Moore today. Not quite to be unfortunately for a W. Just couldn’t hole enough putts. Several 6-10 footers slipped by as did the 18ft eagle putt on 14.
Still it’s a v welcome full place at 175s to make it a nice week.
Hopefully some of u were on board.
Hi all, here are my thoughts on Mexico Open. Hopefully Rahmbo turns up having not taken a club out of his bag since HH.
Still no resolution to Sundog Twitter situation so please can everyone RT this far & wide so I get followers here for the mo. Thanks!
Now that the exhibition stuff is over it's back to the serious business. What we've all been waiting for, the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Here is my six to take on the field.
