Zurich Classic 2021 picks with Brendan Porath

Episode Summary

The Zurich Classic is a different week for DFS and betting—we explain strategy and the unique format in this week’s episode, where we’re joined by Brendan Porath, Golf Digest’s newest hire, and host of the Shotgun Start podcast. Porath has to sit through the boys celebrating another win (yes, they were on Stewart Cink’s victory at the RBC Heritage). Shoutout to Powers (or was it Hennessey?) for the mention of Cink in last week’s episode—hope you followed us on that 100-1 longshot! Of course, check GolfDigest.com for a complete DFS breakdown from our expert Rick Gehman—and our weekly experts picks column with sharp analysis from some of the best data scientists (and an anonymous tour caddie) in golf.

Episode Notes

Ryan Palmer and Jon Rahm defend their title from 2019 at this week’s Zurich Classic, which has a decent field. Is it too volatile of a format to take a favorite? Which longshots have the attention of our crew? We break down the action from TPC Louisiana in this week’s episode of “Be Right.”
