how does the TPC Nelson play? also, do you know a good website to find a good overview of all the PGA courses???

I've never found one. Just google the tournament name and type in "inside the course" or try the same thing in the search bar on pgatour.com

tour tips is a great site, not free though
gives great break downs like below, a 5 year stat ranking history of the top 5 finishers in the current event

Good thread. I love betting on the golf...

Colonial

George McNeill @ 370 20k ftw. On the fringes of contention at Quail Hollow (needed a final round 68 to get into playoff), one horror round away from a very respectable finish at Sawgrass, already has the comfort of a PGA tour victory under his belt (weak event I know). Anyways happy to take a chance at that price, he's clearly playing some decent stuff, could contend again, even if his course form shows very little, think he's overpriced and is a bit under the radar all the time.

Brian Harman @ 300

Euro Tour PGA Championship

Kaymer @ 32
Karlsson @75
Luiten @160
Kruger @ 350

Also a saver on McIlroy.

took a look at mcneil, but like you say course form in the lone star state hasn't been kind to him, although anyone that shoots 68 around sawgrass, and can contend at quail hollow clearly has potential

i'm very interested in analyzing courses as to player types having success

but what i found inmy work is shorter hiiters gravitate to tight courses, long hitters to wider open courses ie. players tailor schedule to courses and it's a major effect

i think it would be valuable analysis at major and the next tier events where everyone plays but then i presume oddsmakers realize luke donald does very well or poorly at that event, for example.

Have GMac -145 maxed at a few books vs Paddy. Distance from the center and edge of the fairway stats and gir +100 yards that proclaim GMac as solid as it gets and Paddy a total disaster better not fail me.
