Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the week 41 action in the world of golf.
[Will Doctor] (0:15 - 0:48 ) Will Doctor opens energetically, previewing Week 41 of the PGA Tour, covering the Bay Current Classic, Open de España, and Korn Ferry Tour Championship, promising sharp analysis and betting insights. [Will Doctor] (0:49 - 56:43 ) Doctor criticizes the Bay Current Classic’s 78-player field, calling it unfair for golfers outside the top 100. He highlights Sam Ryder (111th), Victor Perez (104th), and Adam Svensson (114th) as players hurt by the limited entry, arguing it contradicts the Fall Series’ goal of providing chances to regain PGA status. Using Steven Fisk’s win at Sanderson—jumping from 135th to 65th in FedExCup standings—as an example, he stresses that small fields “kill opportunity.” Reviewing his poor betting week (“0-for-8”), he shifts to analysis of key players. Xander Schauffele, the tournament favorite (11-1), excels in approach play but ranks just 126th from 50–125 yards; Doctor passes on him due to short-iron struggles. Collin Morikawa (18-1) ranks 15th and 5th in those same yardage ranges but continues to underperform on bentgrass greens. Hideki Matsuyama (18-1) has strong wedge stats (10th from 50–125) and elite chipping but remains inconsistent with both driver and putter. Alex Noren, with two recent DP World Tour wins, enters hot but overpriced at 22-1. Rasmus Højgaard’s recent tied-third at Sanderson shows putting improvement, though his approach play wavers. Michael Thorbjornsen’s powerful ball striking is offset by weak putting (124th). Doctor emphasizes Yokohama’s setup—“easy off the tee, tough on the greens”—rewarding wedge precision and bentgrass putting. His matchup pick: Kevin Roy (-105) over Alex Smalley, citing Roy’s wedge stats and recent top-18 finish. His top-10 play is Michael Kim (+300), fresh off a French Open win and strong approach metrics. Outright picks: Christian Bezuidenhout (50-1), praised for elite wedge play and recent top-six finish, and Eric Cole (70-1), top 15 in approach stats and historically strong in Japan. His best bet: Hideki Matsuyama to finish as top Japanese player (+210), based on superior short game and home-course comfort. Turning to the Open de España, Doctor highlights Jon Rahm, a three-time event winner, but notes recent negative approach stats. Joaquín Niemann (10-1) earns praise for consistency yet loses points for slight driving inaccuracy on Club de Campo’s narrow fairways. Shane Lowry’s improving putting—gaining 2.5 strokes at the Ryder Cup—earns him a top-10 pick (+180). Patrick Reed (25-1) is his first outright after finishing 10th last year, backed by strong course putting numbers. Ángel Iora (33-1) is the second outright, described as “peaking” with three top-10s in five starts. His sleeper is Rafa Cabrera-Bello (10-1 top-10), a past winner showing renewed form after a 66-67 finish last week. For the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, Doctor backs Ze-Chang “Marty” Dou (18-1) and Sung Tak Lee (33-1), both chasing PGA Tour cards after consistent top-10 finishes. He closes confident and analytical, blending player data, performance trends, and betting value into concise recommendations for all three tournament
