What's up everybody?

Welcome to the early wedge live chat for the Tour Championship.

My name is Cia Najat and I'm joined by Mike McClure.

Mike, how you doing?

I'm great.

See ya.

Looking forward to this event.

It's always an interesting challenge, particularly in the DFS streets. Anytime you get

30 golfers, it's a very different game than a normal week. So excited to break that down. And

I still think there's great opportunities on the betting side as well, particularly in those markets

that include ties, just the probability of landing on a tie a lot greater this week.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. We'll get into any betting questions you have, any DFS questions,

maybe ownership related, because Mike, I know I want to talk to you a little bit about what your

ownership numbers look like. Let me ask you right off the jump here, though, in the outright market,

I could have sworn when we talked earlier this week that you had said this week,

outrights aren't for me. Yeah, I have not bet a single outright yet. If I were to bet one,

Ludwig would be my first choice. Um, not going to get there, though. I like a lot of DFS stuff. I like some finishing positions, but not for me a week that I'm eager to play a bunch of outrights. And then, of course, we'll talk about Scotty's number and how I would handle him. But yeah, not a big outright card for me this week. Mike, does that have something to do with? I mean, we know Scott he's at the top and he's plus 150 and, you know, nobody's really intrigued by that number in spite of the fact that they think he's going to win. You know, when we get to the outright board, just in general, whether it's this week or any other week, you know, I know you would know the actual specifics. I know the holds are, you know, kind of steep. I don't know if it gets steeper year by year, but then when you look at the without market, are the holds even more severe? I know you typically tend to be averse to the without market, but kind of talk to me about, you know, from a betting standpoint, I'm still going to bet the without market, but can you maybe address why you're not betting this particular week and whether it has

something to do with the holds and just the numbers themselves?

Yeah, it's mostly the numbers themselves in the hold at sports books here.

I basically have one golfer listed at two, technically, two that are technically a positive betting value.
