Your Guide to Dell Matchplay Bets 💰

Good Evening, and welcome to Caddyshanks. A golf newsletter written by the drunk dudes who followed Happy Gilmore around. Today is a Tuesday Night Special Edition of Shanks, since Dell Match Play kicks off tomorrow (Wednesday) instead of the usual Thursday.

*A Note on Matchplay*

In the wacky world of Match Play, you could shoot the second-best round of the day and still end up losing, or even nail the second-worst round and come out victorious!

You might even have a better overall number than your opponent and still taste defeat.

Such is the wild rollercoaster of this one-on-one format, making betting on favorites feel like a high-stakes game of pin the tail on the donkey. The real treasure hunt here is finding players who can tackle the peculiar challenge of Match Play with gusto. So, keep an eye on those with a shiny track record at the WGC Match Play or recent Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups – they just might have the secret sauce!

Here are the groups:

Tiger Tuesday

Let us all fondly look back on the time Stephen Ames talked shit on Tiger and then Tiger absolutely destroyed the man at Dell Matchplay. Tiger was like a man possessed.

"I think he understands now".

Topless Sports League

You may remember Holly from her days hosting on The Golf Channel. Back when she used to look like this:

Now, she looks like this:

She didn't provide many details, but I can guarantee you this goes the same way the Lingerie Football League went, the way of the dodos. Here's what she said on Instagram

“Imagine your favorite IG models all competing against each other…playing your favorite sports…while wearing next to nothing. The fantasy is coming to life this spring 2023. @xposed__sports will provide the most elite, highest quality content with the most beautiful, fit women in the world. My babes will be on 🔥"

Golf Thing We'd Buy If We Weren't Broke

Nike x Malbon Golf

Step into the 1st tee box with the timeless flair and functionality of the Nike Air Max 90 G NRG. It blends the original AM90's essence with a few updates specifically designed for the links, like traction pattern and a thin overlay that helps keep out water.
