The PGA Tour throws a big curveball from a wagering perspective on the golf course this week, where your formulas and habits for 72-hole stroke play are worthless at the team-format Zurich Classic.
We enter TPC Louisiana with our heads held high after a 5-token loss at the RBC Heritage, with our season total now at +633 tokens. Our scouting report on Charles Howell III’s Harbour Town struggles proved accurate – he missed the cut as Branden Grace squeaked out a matchup victory. We were misinformed on Si Woo Kim and Justin Harding’s chances, with Kim losing his matchup against Marc Leishman and Harding missing the cut to squander our top-10 wager.
The challenge this week is predicting team success from a tiny sample size and oftentimes no prior history at all. But it’s called gambling for a reason, and we’re going to have to search for all potential clues however small they might be.
Here are my top bets for the 2019 Zurich Classic. All odds courtesy of OddsShark and Points Bet.
Patton Kizzire/Brian Harman (-105) over Brian Gay/Rory Sabbatini
105 tokens
Risking 105 to win 100 on Kizzire/Harman. We like that these guys already know the team works because the two of them won the QBE Shootout in December. That’s obviously not a secret in Vegas, where it seems Harman’s run of five missed cuts in his last six events is influencing the line. He did finish T-8 at the Players Championship in that time and he finished T-14 at the 2017 Zurich Classic. Gay and Sabbatini are teaming up for the first time in New Orleans and while Sabbatini is playing well these days, he missed the cut here in 2018 and 2017. Here’s hoping Kizzire/Harman can channel those QBE vibes for another week.
Patrick Reed/Patrick Cantlay (+115) over Sergio Garcia/Tommy Fleetwood
100 tokens
Risking 100 to win 115 on Reed/Cantlay. This is their third straight year playing the Zurich together after a T-14 finish in 2017 and a T-7 last year. Fleetwood/Garcia look great on paper and Fleetwood finished T-4 last year with fellow Englishman Chris Paisley. Garcia missed the cut with Rafa Cabrera Bello. You just never know how the new pairings will turn out, so we’re gonna go with the proven squad over the new all-star experiment.
Jason Kokrak/Chris Stroud to finish top-10 (+400)
25 tokens
Risking 25 to win 200 on the Kokrak/Stroud duo. Kokrak has been playing stellar golf with four top-10s in his last six starts. Stroud enters off back-to-back missed cuts but has taken to the new team format, with a T-28 last year and T-11 in 2017. Worth taking a shot on a couple guys who generally aren’t on anyone’s radar.

We head down to Louisiana this week for the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which has changed into a team event and will feature 80 teams of two. This certainly makes the gambling part a little weird and creates a little bit of the unknown. Instead of relying on one guy, we know have to bet on teams, forcing you to take a different approach.
But enough talking.
Here are five selections to consider for this weeks PGA event.
Jason Day / Rickie Fowler - While I almost never play the overall favorite, a team of Jason Day and Rickie Fowler is probably the easiest to trust this week. Odds of +600 also doesn’t make this bet terrible. Fowler has finished 16th or better in each of his last six events and is coming off a strong showing at the Masters, while Day has four top-25 finishes and is third in sand save percentage. Can’t go wrong with this group even if the odds aren’t as high as what we normally go for.
Justin Rose / Henrik Stenson - Again, this is unusual territory, so I’m going to play another group I trust with Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. Arguably the most accomplished team in the field, Rose and Stenson have combined for six top-10 finishes and eight top-25 finishes this season. Rose is coming off a second place finish at the Masters and did win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans back in 2015. Stenson hasn't looked shark since his performance at the Valspar Championship, but playing with a guy who he’s familiar with in his play in the Ryder Cup is a good chance to get him back on track. This is a team worth laying +700 odds on.
Branden Grace / Louis Oosthuizen - Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen have experience playing together a couple of years ago in the Presidents Cup and had their fare share of success. Heading into this week, Grace has put together back-to-back top-11 finishes and Oosthuizen has had his moments in eight events. Neither of these guys have played the TPC of Louisiana before, but the fact they’ve played together in the past gives them a shot to make some noise. I like this team with odds of +1600.

Hideki Matsuyama / Hideto Tanihara - Matsuyama is in sharp form given his performance at the Masters and is 16th in greens in regulation percentage as well as fourth in birdie average. Tanihara had an impressive showing in match play a few weeks ago and should be able to build on that success in a tournament like this one. This Japanese tandem has a chance to be a real dark horse this week, so I’ll play odds of +2800.
Jason Dufner / Patton Kizzire - Dufner almost got us a win at the RBC Heritage before he fell apart, but he's quietly racked up seven top-25 finishes and has two top-25 finishes in his last three events. Dufner also won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans back in 2012, so there's experience here. As for Kizzire, he had a decent showing at the Heritage and did produce a top-10 finish on this course last season. There’s upside with this group, which is why I’ll consider +6600 odds.
