You will hear this from me on multiple platforms this week, but the lack of trackable data at the ZOZO Championship makes for a complex handicapping process since so much of what I do is predicated on long-term research. My model is built and reconfigured under the premise of trying to mimic these venues to fit a statistical narrative, but the loss of numerical information leaves something to be desired.
We will see if any third-party resources give us something to use for the contest, but my biggest takeaway for the ZOZO Championship is to be methodical and reserved if you don’t have an edge. Remember, no action is required unless some modicum of value presents itself and a bet not placed can often be as good as a winning ticket if it keeps us structured. We will talk a little about some value my model is interested in diving deeper into for the week, but be sure to play things intelligently!
