PGA Tour Cognizant Classic: Danny's Bets to Win

Boom! Thank you Jake Knapp!

Knapp allowed me to hit my second outright win in 8 events this season. He joined Matthieu Pavon, who won the outright at the Farmers Insurance Open.

We return to The PGA National Champion course for the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches (par 71, 7,147 yards).

One thing to note is the favorites struggle to win at this course as there is a sitting time bomb on any hole. The event tends to be one of the toughest scoring venues on the PGA Tour.

Onto the Cognizant Classic Bet to Win Picks:

J.T. Poston

+2800 on DraftKings

I got this line early and it moved the other way on me to +3000.

Poston continues to knock on the door for a victory but it alludes him.

He has 6 Top 20 finishes in 8 events since the Fall Series. He’s due!

Chris Kirk

+4000 on DraftKings

I know it’s hard to defend a title on the tour with so many talented up-and-coming players, but Kirk has that chance this week.

He should be rested after missing the cut at the Genesis Invitational and not playing the Mexico Open.

Plus, he knows the pressures of playing The PGA National, winning in a playoff last year.

Matthieu Pavon

+5000 on DraftKings

Pavon is another golfer who should be rested since he last played in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Pavon is the Tour’s top player in SG: approach and third in putting.

With numerous hazards on this course, the Frenchman will need his elite skills.

Doug Ghim

+6000 on DraftKings

Ghim is a popular pick this week as he has a Top 15 finish in his last three events.

His game is rounding into shape to be the perfect match for The PGA National Champion course.

His approach game, around the green play, accuracy off the tee and bogey avoidance are elite for this event.

Chan Kim

+11000 on DraftKings

Kim struggled to an even-par 71 in the final round of the Mexico Open or he would have finished better than T8.

He doesn’t do anything great but he’s above average in most of the key stats I used this week on my spreadsheet.

He is the wild card in my bets to win, but with how this season has gone, I’ll take my chances with Kim.
