We head down to Louisiana this week for the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which has changed into a team event and will feature 80 teams of two. This certainly makes the gambling part a little weird and creates a little bit of the unknown. Instead of relying on one guy, we know have to bet on teams, forcing you to take a different approach.
But enough talking.
Here are five selections to consider for this weeks PGA event.
Jason Day / Rickie Fowler - While I almost never play the overall favorite, a team of Jason Day and Rickie Fowler is probably the easiest to trust this week. Odds of +600 also doesn’t make this bet terrible. Fowler has finished 16th or better in each of his last six events and is coming off a strong showing at the Masters, while Day has four top-25 finishes and is third in sand save percentage. Can’t go wrong with this group even if the odds aren’t as high as what we normally go for.
Justin Rose / Henrik Stenson - Again, this is unusual territory, so I’m going to play another group I trust with Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. Arguably the most accomplished team in the field, Rose and Stenson have combined for six top-10 finishes and eight top-25 finishes this season. Rose is coming off a second place finish at the Masters and did win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans back in 2015. Stenson hasn't looked shark since his performance at the Valspar Championship, but playing with a guy who he’s familiar with in his play in the Ryder Cup is a good chance to get him back on track. This is a team worth laying +700 odds on.
Branden Grace / Louis Oosthuizen - Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen have experience playing together a couple of years ago in the Presidents Cup and had their fare share of success. Heading into this week, Grace has put together back-to-back top-11 finishes and Oosthuizen has had his moments in eight events. Neither of these guys have played the TPC of Louisiana before, but the fact they’ve played together in the past gives them a shot to make some noise. I like this team with odds of +1600.
Hideki Matsuyama / Hideto Tanihara - Matsuyama is in sharp form given his performance at the Masters and is 16th in greens in regulation percentage as well as fourth in birdie average. Tanihara had an impressive showing in match play a few weeks ago and should be able to build on that success in a tournament like this one. This Japanese tandem has a chance to be a real dark horse this week, so I’ll play odds of +2800.
Jason Dufner / Patton Kizzire - Dufner almost got us a win at the RBC Heritage before he fell apart, but he's quietly racked up seven top-25 finishes and has two top-25 finishes in his last three events. Dufner also won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans back in 2012, so there's experience here. As for Kizzire, he had a decent showing at the Heritage and did produce a top-10 finish on this course last season. There’s upside with this group, which is why I’ll consider +6600 odds.
