Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Hayden Springer at 50-1 odds for the Puerto Rico Open, highlighting his exceptional scoring ability, including shooting a 59 on the PGA Tour. Springer has above-average driving distance and performed well at this event last year. Kirschner believes that in a weaker field, Springer offers excellent value and has strong potential to contend.

Brian Kirschner predicted that Lanto Griffin could win the Puerto Rico Open, citing his strong recent form and consistent iron play. Griffin has gained strokes on approach in three of his last four starts and is hitting his irons exceptionally well. Five starts ago, he won the Q School event at a challenging golf course, and he finished 12th at the Bermuda Championship prior to that. With odds at 45-1, Kirschner believes Griffin is one of the top players in the field and offers great value.

Brian Kirschner is betting on Patrick Fishburn for the Puerto Rico Open, noting that his exceptional driving distance makes him well-suited for the course. Despite inconsistencies and missing the cut at the Mexico Open after an initial strong round, Kirschner believes Fishburn can leverage his power off the tee and potentially excel if his putting improves. Fishburn played well in his last event but struggled with putting, and the paspalum greens at Puerto Rico may help mitigate that weakness.

Brian Kirschner suggested a long-shot bet on Camilo Villegas at 250-1 odds for the Puerto Rico Open, highlighting his recent strong iron play. Villegas has gained strokes on approach in four consecutive starts, including two where he gained more than a full shot in true strokes gained. Kirschner notes that Villegas performs well on coastal courses and, despite missing the cut at the Honda Classic, he was in contention after shooting a 66 in the first round. With such high odds, Villegas presents a high-upside opportunity in this field.

Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Patrick Cantlay at 30-1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, highlighting Cantlay's solid recent form and versatile skill set. Kirschner noted that Cantlay is hitting the ball really well and played well at Torrey Pines, a course comparable to Bay Hill. Despite not being known as a 'Florida guy,' Cantlay has had good showings here before. Kirschner emphasized that Cantlay does everything pretty well without any significant weaknesses, making him a strong contender for this tournament.

Brian Kirschner advocated betting on Justin Thomas at 25-1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, citing his exceptional iron play and improved recent form. Kirschner pointed out that Thomas is hitting his irons really well and finished 12th at this event last year despite being in worse form. He has gained strokes in all major categories and had a low-key ninth-place finish at Torrey Pines recently. Kirschner believes Thomas is a much better player now and has had success in Florida before, making him a strong pick at attractive odds.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Ludvig Aberg to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, arguing that it's highly unlikely for a player to win back-to-back events on the PGA Tour, especially against such a strong field. Kirschner noted that while Aberg just won his last event, expecting him to beat the best field in golf in consecutive weeks is unrealistic. He also mentioned that Aberg's course fit may not be ideal, as Torrey Pines might be a better fit for him than Bay Hill.

Brian Kirschner recommended against betting on Xander Schauffele to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, expressing doubt about his chances. Kirschner stated that if Schauffele beats them this week, so be it, but he doesn't believe Schauffele is likely to win, especially since he hasn't won in a while. Even with attractive odds available, Kirschner is not interested in betting on Schauffele for this event.

Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Russell Henley at 65:1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite Henley's recent struggles, including a T5 finish at the Honda where he crumbled on Sunday, Kirschner believes Henley is a good value due to his strong ball striking. Henley was priced at 25:1 last week and hit the ball well, and the increased odds present an opportunity. Kirschner acknowledges Henley's shortcomings but feels the number is favorable.

Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Shane Lowry at 65:1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Lowry finished 10th at the Honda Classic and was in the final group at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last year, where he played well. Kirschner believes that despite not winning the Honda, Lowry's solid performance and history at Bay Hill make him a good value bet at this number.

Brian Kirschner advocated betting on Sepp Straka at 70:1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, highlighting his exceptional ball striking and ability to compete on challenging courses. Kirschner noted that Straka has gained a full stroke on approach in eight of his last nine starts, indicating his irons are in excellent form. While acknowledging that Straka lacks strong course history at Bay Hill, Kirschner emphasized his success on 'big boy courses' and in majors, including two top-five finishes. He also mentioned Straka's decent track record at Augusta, suggesting he can perform well on difficult layouts. At 70:1 odds, Kirschner believes Straka offers significant value and can contend against top players.

Brian Kirschner expressed skepticism about Matt Fitzpatrick's chances at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, citing a recent decline in performance. Kirschner stated that he doesn't think Fitzpatrick is 'good at golf' right now and believes he has 'fallen off.' While acknowledging that Bay Hill is a solid track for Fitzpatrick and that he showed some signs at Torrey Pines, Kirschner doesn't believe he will win and is not betting on him. However, he noted that if someone wants to bet Fitzpatrick at 70 to 80:1 odds, he wouldn't criticize the decision.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Wyndham Clark at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, expressing concerns about his recent struggles with the driver. Kirschner pointed out that Clark has lost strokes off the tee in three of his last four starts and barely gained in the other. Despite acknowledging that Clark performed well at Bay Hill last year and has had success in the TGL, Kirschner doesn't trust Clark's driver heading into this event. He believes that Clark's current driving form makes him a risky bet for this tournament.

Brian Kirschner recommended a long-shot bet on Camilo Villegas at 250-1 odds for the Puerto Rico Open. He highlighted that Villegas has gained strokes on approach in four straight starts, including two where he gained more than a full stroke. Brian noted that Villegas is striking the irons well and plays well on coastal tracks. He mentioned that Villegas shot 66 in the first round at the Honda Classic but missed the cut after a disappointing second round. Brian believes that Villegas's strong iron play makes him a worthy long-shot consideration in this weak field.

Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Patrick Cantlay at 30-1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kirschner highlighted that Cantlay has been playing well this year, including a strong performance at Torrey Pines, a course similar to Bay Hill. He noted Cantlay's consistency across all aspects of his game, doing everything pretty well. Despite not having won in a while, Kirschner believes Cantlay is not 'gutless' and has the capability to win, making him a solid value at the current odds.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Ludvig Aberg to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kirschner believes that it's difficult to win back-to-back events on the PGA Tour, especially against a stacked field. He noted that Aberg might have a letdown after his recent victory and that the course may not be the best fit for him compared to others like Torrey Pines. Therefore, he does not expect Aberg to win this week.

Brian Kirschner expressed that he does not believe Tommy Fleetwood is worth betting at 25-1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He noted that he would have considered betting Fleetwood if he remained at 35-1 odds, but at 25-1, he does not think Fleetwood represents good value in this field. Kirschner questioned whether Fleetwood can win this week and suggested he is more likely to win on links courses like the Scottish Open or The Open.

Brian Kirschner argued that Will Zalatoris is not worth betting at 45-50 to 1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He stated that Zalatoris has not done anything notable this year, with only middling finishes, and does not deserve those odds in this field. Kirschner suggested that despite Zalatoris's previous successes, his current form does not justify betting on him at these odds.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Will Zalatoris at 45-50 to 1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kirschner argued that Zalatoris has not done anything notable this year, with only middling finishes, and does not deserve such odds in this field. He mentioned that even bookmakers have longer odds on Zalatoris due to his current form.

Brian Kirschner cautioned against betting on Sam Burns for the Arnold Palmer Invitational despite the course being a solid fit. He expressed doubt about Burns's current ability to win and warned that bettors might be tempted by favorable odds due to the perception that Burns can win. Brian is uncertain if Burns can capitalize on the course suitability.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Sepp Straka for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He argued that Straka's usual form is that of a poor putter, and his recent putting success was an anomaly. Brian believes that Straka will continue to struggle with his putting and doubts he will win again this year, making him a less favorable betting option.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Matt Fitzpatrick for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He expressed that Fitzpatrick is not playing well currently and has declined in performance. While acknowledging that the course suits Fitzpatrick on paper and he showed some signs at Torrey, Brian does not believe Fitzpatrick will win and is not planning to bet on him.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Wyndham Clark for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite Clark's strong performance at this event last year and his success on tour, Brian expressed concerns over Clark's recent driving statistics. Clark has lost strokes off the tee in three of his last four starts and barely gained in the other. Brian doesn't trust Clark's driver at the moment and believes this makes him a risky bet this week. He suggested that Clark might perform better at courses where the winning score is closer to 15 to 20 under par, rather than at challenging events like the API.

Brian Kirschner said he is picking Billy Horschel at +5500 due to Horschel’s history of winning on various courses, five top-16 finishes at PGA National, and a recent top-5 finish at Pebble Beach. Kirschner expects Horschel’s comfort on Bermuda greens to give him an edge.

Brian Kirschner said he is picking Joe Highsmith at +11000 based on Highsmith’s 17th-place finish in Mexico, where he gained six strokes ball-striking. Kirschner noted that Highsmith has gained on approach in three consecutive starts, making him a worthwhile longshot at PGA National.

Brian Kirschner said he is picking Beau Hossler at +7000 for first-round leader due to Hossler’s early Thursday tee time and track record of fast starts. Kirschner recalled Hossler achieving a first-round lead earlier this season on a Bermuda-heavy course.

Brian Kirschner said he is picking J.J. Spaun for a Top 20 at +225, emphasizing Spaun’s run of gaining strokes on approach in every start since last March. Kirschner also cited Spaun’s strong showings on comp courses like Waialae and Sedgefield as evidence of a good course fit.

Brian Kirschner notes that Scottie Scheffler is not playing in The American Express, making the field wide open. He suggests that without the favorite, bettors should consider other players in the field.

Brian Kirschner suggested that Ben Coles could perform well at the Sony Open. He mentioned Kohles is an elite mid-iron player and that Data Golf's projections favor him. Brian believes Kohles could be a sleeper pick in the tournament.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Tom Hoge for an outright win at the Sony Open. He acknowledged Hoge is an elite mid-iron player and that the course suits him, but noted he has only one PGA Tour win despite being on tour for a long time. Brian suggests Hoge is more suitable for a first-round leader bet rather than an outright win.

Brian Kirschner mentioned David Lipsky as a long shot worth considering for first-round leader, top 20, or top 40 bets at the Sony Open. Lipsky is at 400 to 1 odds, finished sixth at Worldwide, ninth at Bermuda, and has a top-five finish at the Sony Open two years ago. Brian notes Lipsky was second at ProCor earlier this year and is a good Bermuda putter.

Brian Kirschner said he is betting on Patrick Fishburn at 90 to 1 odds for the Sony Open. He noted Fishburn had a good fall swing with third at ProCor, 12th at Worldwide Technology Championship, and eighth at RSM. Brian mentioned that Tony Finau predicted Fishburn would be at the Sentry Tournament next year, highlighting his potential. He emphasized Fishburn's strength with middle irons and wedges, his driving distance, and being a BYU alumnus like Finau.

Brian Kirschner said he is betting on Billy Horschel at 70 to 1 odds for the Sony Open. He believes it's a gut play, mentioning that Horschel has won events like the Match Play, Memorial, Corales, and Wentworth recently. Brian trusts Horschel's ability to win if he gets in the mix, noting he's a good Bermuda putter, has won on shorter courses, and is great around the greens.

Brian Kirschner said he is betting on Mackenzie Hughes at 66 to 1 odds for the Sony Open. He mentioned Hughes had a great fall swing with finishes of fourth at ProCor, sixth at Sanderson Farms, and fifth at RSM. Hughes' approach play was really good, gaining six strokes in some events, and he putted well. Although he has no great course history at the Sony Open, Brian trusts him in the mix and believes 66 to 1 is a solid number for his recent form.

Brian Kirschner recommended betting on Taylor Pendrith to win the Sony Open at 35 to 1 odds, highlighting his T13 finish last week, third in strokes gained approach, good history with a T10 finish at this event last year, and eight straight starts finishing T22 or better.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Keegan Bradley for the Sony Open because he lost in a playoff last year, believing the added pressure from last year's loss may affect his performance. He does not think Bradley will win but might consider him for a one-and-done play.

Brian Kirschner acknowledged Russell Henley's strong course history at the Sony Open but stated he is not investing on anyone below 30 to 1 odds, including Henley, despite expecting him to play well.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Hideki Matsuyama at 9 to 1 odds for the Sony Open, expressing that while Matsuyama can win, the odds are not favorable for a bet.

Brian Kirschner advised against betting on Tom Kim at 20 to 1 odds for the Sony Open, noting that Kim hasn't figured out the course, missed the cut in his first appearance, and did not play the Tournament of Champions last week.

Brian Kirschner expressed doubt about Hideki Matsuyama winning the Sony Open this week. He noted that Matsuyama often underperforms the week after a win and even withdrew after a win five months ago, making him a risky bet to go back-to-back.

Brian Kirschner suggested that Ben Coles could perform well at the Sony Open. He mentioned Coles is an elite mid-iron player and that Data Golf's projections favor him. Brian believes Coles could be a sleeper pick in the tournament.
