Preview & Picks: The American Express

After a short jaunt on Oahu, the PGA TOUR officially begins its West Coast Swing this week in La Quinta, California.

Scottie Scheffler will be making his season debut and he’s the betting favorite.

What else is new?

Even though it’s not a Signature Event, the field is still pretty loaded and features last years champion, Sepp Straka, along with Ben Griffin, Bobby Mac, Russel Henley, Ludvig Aberg, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Rose, and Matt Fitzpatrick.

The tournament is unique in that it’s hosted across three different courses and has a Pro-Am element to it. Play will take place at La Quinta Country Club, Pete Dye Stadium Course, and Nicklaus Tournament Course.

Typically, the first birdie-fest of the year happens at The Sentry, but since it was cancelled this year, that honor goes to The Amex.

To find a winning score at The Amex higher than -20, you’d have to go all the way back to 2007 when Charley Hoffman won at -17.

Weekly Bets: The American Express

We’re teaming up with Keith Stewart at Read The Line to bring his weekly betting picks straight to the Caddyshanks crew. If you’re someone who likes to really nerd out on golf betting - matchups, trends, and value plays - you should definitely check out the RTL community. Join Here. 

Keith Stewart’s Picks

Ben Griffin (+2000 BetMGM)

In his last two trips to The American Express, Ben Griffin has finished ninth and seventh. Griffin is great with a wedge and a putter, two specific skills winners have used adeptly to take home the Desert Classic trophy. Ben’s average SG:Total over the last two years is +9.8 strokes on the field! Griffin is a different player than he was when he earned those top 10s; he’s better. A fourth win in nine months would definitely prove it.  

Si Woo Kim (+5000 Draftkings)

Guess what? Si Woo Kim putts really well in the Palm Desert. In seven complete AMEX starts, Kim has posted six positive trips with the flatstick. Si Woo has gained over two strokes for the event five times with his putter. Kim led T2G in Hawaii, gaining 11.5 strokes on the field. That was two strokes more than his nearest T2G competitor! Admittedly, the putter was bad at Wai’alae. If Kim can conjure up one of his normal putting performances on the Stadium Course along with his recent ball striking, this 50-1 ticket will cash.

Caddyshanks Picks

Matt Fitzpatrick (+3500 Fanduel)

Fitz seemed the regain form at the end of last season, particularly on the DP World Tour. We like him to keep the momentum going.

JT Poston (+7000 or Top 10 +550 Fanduel)

The Postman has finished in the Top 12 in this event 3 straight years.

Scottie Scheffler (+300 Fanduel)

Scottie is going to be Scottie, and if you bet $100 on him every time he’s played the last four years you’d be profitable. Essentially, you’re betting that he will win 5+ times per year again, which may not be the smartest bet, except for the fact that it’s Scottie Scheffler and he’ll probably do it.
