Golf Betting Preview and Picks: 2023 PLAYERS Championship
The Florida Swing continues with the massive $25 million elevated event for the 2023 PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. A total of 144 players and elite field of top golfers will navigate Pete Dye’s hazards at the Par 72, 7,275 yard Stadium Course. That includes 17 holes with water in play.
Following last week’s 3-0 tournament match-up sweep plus an added Round 1 winner at the Arnold Palmer Invitational that included 3 underdogs, we’ll take some more swings for birdie at THE PLAYERS.
I provide a betting preview for the 2023 PLAYERS Championship in Forbes, and add tournament coverage including dark horse picks for FanDuel at The Duel Sports.

My golf coverage and research includes use and references from sites at Golf Stats along with Fantasy National and Data Golf. I gain added information and betting news with fantasy golf insight from FanShare Sports and other sites and golf analysts. That includes top golf insider Justin Ray Golf, who contributes to PGA Tour (dot com) and The Athletic with insightful stats.

More than a decade ago I was a lead golf handicapper and analyst on a popular sports handicapping radio show out of Las Vegas whose picks were provided to a betting syndicate. I continue my golf coverage in a different format, and provide my experience and intuitive feel for the game and betting acumen to provide golf picks and chip-in added insight with information you can bet on.
This season, I’ll add more Round 1 matchup bets. I will limit tournament matchups posted on these pages, but have more available to those bettors that chip-in and wish to correspond with me directly. You can email me at [email protected] for more picks and information you can bet on.
