BMW Is a Sneaky-Good Event for Golf Betting (And Here's Who We're Taking)
The PGA Tour makes its first-ever trip to Delaware this week, and 68 players are set to play for one of the 30 spots in next week's Tour Championship at East Lake. Wilmington CC is long (7,500+ yards) with large greens. That typically favors players who can hit it far and straight, and stick their approach shots. Rotowire's Jeff Erickson is joined by Rotowire contributor and high-stakes fantasy player Scott Jenstad and Morning Read/Sports Illustrated's Jeff Ritter to break it down. Here are their picks.
