How Data Scientists Are Helping Golf Bettors For the PGA Championship

Betting on golf is not always the easiest or most intuitive task…especially when you consider that there are 156 players in the field. Sportsbooks overwhelm us with options and make sure only the golfers we know are the first ones seen, often causing us to overlook the bets that are truly valuable. It’s even harder when you consider who you’re betting against - Vegas.

But technology is leveling the playing field. And technology paired with the brains of genius golf fans has created the tool that has leveled the playing field.

That tool is Rithmm. 

Rithmm combines AI with the brains of quants and data scientists to help DFS players and sports bettors easily create custom betting models, find valuable betting opportunities, and more.

And for Golf specifically, Rithmm has absolutely changed the way people bet on every tournament. I was personally able to use Rithmm to hit on Chris Gotterup +1000 to finish Top 5 at Myrtle Beach last weekend (he won outright ;)), Sepp Straka Top 10, Russ Henley Top 10, and tons of other outrights.

But where Rithmm really gets interesting is with its AI Caddie. I had tried live betting before, but it wasn’t much fun just going with my (dumb) brain. 

Rithmm simulates every hole for every golfer 1000 times to generate its outright predictions. Rithmm's AI Caddie leverages this same data to compare individual player hole outcomes to the field to help bettors find the best live betting opportunities.

My buddy James over at Rithmm created this video to show me how to use the AI Caddie and it help me hit some big time live betting W’s like this past weekend:

I’ve really enjoyed using the app over the past month and I’m even more excited to use it for the PGA Championship this weekend (along with Smalls and all of our other Shanks pals).

Rithmm is kind enough to offer all Caddyshanks readers a FREE 7 day trial, so that means if you sign up now you get to try out Rithmm through the PGA Championship for FREE.

And if your experience is anything like mine, you’re going to be watching - and winning - a lot more this weekend.

Happy betting,
