    Biltmore Championship Preview: The SECRET to Handicapping a New PGA TOUR Course

    The Biltmore Championship Asheville is a BRAND NEW PGA TOUR event, and that creates a unique challenge for anyone trying to handicap the tournament. In this Biltmore Championship preview, we break down everything we know about The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, the Jack Nicklaus-designed course that will host the inaugural event in Asheville, North Carolina. With limited course data available, we'll also look at how to make the best possible decisions when you're trying to handicap a course without a significant PGA TOUR history. We'll dive into: • What we know about The Cliffs at Walnut Cove • Key characteristics of Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses • The course characteristics that could matter most this week • Strategies for handicapping a brand-new PGA TOUR venue • Why different types of players are choosing to play the FedExCup Fall • What the Fall schedule means for different categories of players • A look at the Biltmore Championship field • Justin Thomas and what makes him particularly interesting this week • Jackson Koivun, who will also be competing before his Presidents Cup debut • The players and statistical profiles I'm watching as more information becomes available The FedExCup Fall is a completely different animal from the regular PGA TOUR season, and understanding WHY players are playing these events can be just as important as evaluating their games. This is also the inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville, so there is no course history to lean on. That means we're going to have to get creative. If you're looking for PGA TOUR course previews, golf betting analysis, DFS strategy, player analysis and researched opinions, you're in the right place.

    What Does It REALLY Take to Win on the PGA Tour?

    What does it actually take to win on the PGA Tour? I went back through the 2026 PGA Tour season and looked at the statistics behind every winner to find out what separates a tournament winner from the rest of the field. And I found something really interesting. When you look at the week a player actually wins, putting stands out as the most important factor. But when you zoom out and look at what makes a player successful over an entire season, Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green tells a very different story. So which matters more? Is a great putting week the key to winning? Or does sustained tee-to-green excellence give players the best chance to put themselves in position to win? In this video, I break down the numbers behind PGA Tour winners and use them to explore the bigger question: What should we actually be looking for when trying to predict who is going to have a successful week on the PGA Tour? We'll look at putting, tee-to-green, approach play, driving, scoring and other key statistics to build a better understanding of what a winning profile really looks like. This isn't about simply finding the guy who ranks first in a statistic. It's about figuring out which combination of skills gives a player the best chance to win.
