Our 'Five to Follow' system came snap-crackling to life in just the second event of 2020. In the Sony Open Cam Smith was a winner at 55/1, and for good measure we had McDowell AND Kisner also in the top five at 125/1 & 45/1 respectively.
Abraham Ancer was our main hope this week and he progressed through the tournament nicely, laying down his claim with a strong Sunday finish. Sadly he fell two shots short of eventual winner, Andrew Landry.
Sungjae Im was in contention and finished in the top 10 but a poor weekend shuffled him outside of the payout places.

The 'Follow' & 'Oppose' golfers are selections we suggest keeping on side, or opposing each week. You can do that in the form of 72 hole match bets, groups, or just straight up outright win and lay bets.
For our records, we treat each 'follow' golfer as a 1pt win bet, and each 'oppose' golfer as a 1pt lay (ie, to win 1pt). Last year we opposed 142 golfers and only laid one winner (at 14/1).
