Main things to look for is birdies. Example

Player two shoots 8 Birdies and 10 Bogies.
He will score 19 points.
Each Birdie is 3, each Bogey is -.5
So guys who move all over the scoreboard are generally good plays. Many people also target players who have been putting poorly with the idea that putting is random, so they are due for positive putting regression. Course history is usually a decent thing to look at.
You can also get a bit more strategic with weather, like if it's gonna be windy in the morning target guys with later tee times, if they are playing different courses on different rounds looking at who will be on the tougher course in the bad weather day and avoiding them ect.
Golf is a one person game, so motivation is a bit of a factor. Withdraws will kill you, so when you hear about odd things around a guy I steer clear, like is his wife due with a baby in the next two week? What if she goes into labor early?
Did he just get paid a million dollar appearance fee for a tournament in the middle east and he might be jet lagged? If he is jet lagged and close to the cut line does he take a dive to get some extra rest for next week?
Stuff like that happens.
