Welcome to the Early Wedge Tuesday Best Bet Show. I am your host, Eric Cohen. It is the season finale, for all intents and purposes of this program. I cannot believe that the 26th episode of 2025. And here we are. We are at the Tour Championship. But before we bring in the stars of the show,

0:43.4

let's recap what we have done this year on this show. And it's really something special.

0:49.6

I mean, look at the top. Patrick started it out, 110 to 1 with Joe Highsmith. And we've hit, what, I think 11 winners. We had a nice little stretch of what, five and seven weeks. All of us have kind of

0:55.8

contributed in our own ways. My favorite pick of the entire season, I guess I'm biased on this,

1:01.6

was Patrick's single bulleting Ben Griffin at the Charles Schwab challenge, and he hit that one.

1:09.6

He said, who cares about Scotty Schaeffler? I played the Without Market, but Patrick was all over that. So let's bring in the stars of the show. A lot to be proud of on this show. We have from CBS Sports, the great golf writer, the one the only Patrick McDonald. We have from, I don't even know where to introduce you from. I do this every week. Sirius XM, Bet MGM. You can find him everywhere on the internet. It is Jason Sobel. And then the host of the Early Edge and one of the best golf betters on the planet, in my opinion, see Anjad. So gentlemen, good to be with you. Patrick, we're going to start it off. We're going to get to Rider Cup. I know this is a topic

1:44.2

that you kind of have stirred up the pot maybe a little bit. Your thoughts on Higan Bradley's

1:52.4

decision making next week. Yeah. I mean, do we want to get into who we think he should pick?

1:59.2

Do we want to get into, I created a ranking

2:03.2

mechanism of source. Let's hear that first. Let's hear that. Yeah, that have people hot and

2:07.9

heavy in the streets. You guys know me. I don't usually go down, take Avenue. But I guess,

2:13.6

I guess this week I did. So it's called the big boy barometer, triple B for short, not to step on the toes of one

2:21.6

LeVar ball, but, you know, hopefully that trademark's coming to an end here shortly and we can

2:26.5

take it over.

2:27.4

I don't think Big Baller brand has really done much in recent years.

2:31.3

And so there's three tiers to the big boy barometer you have the big boys guys on the

2:37.2

rider and this is in the context of the rider cup that's important also these are the guys who are

2:42.5

informed they've been there they've done that last four holes of a match you want them on their

2:48.7

side you can trust them you think this guy is going to win the match eke out maybe half a point if he's down something like that. Second tier, just the boys, kind of in the same realm as the big boys, but they have some question marks around them. Maybe they haven't done in the Ryder Cup. Maybe their forms little off. And then third tier, boys unproven maybe out of form whatever it

3:10.7

may be and so we only ranked the boy the big boys and the boys and i said the americans only have
