Safeway Open Final Ownership
This week marks the return to a full field tournament in The PGA Safeway Open, it’s the start of the 2021 season that will have 2 extra majors, the Olympics and hopefully the Ryder cup at Whistling Straights.
For the 2020 season there were mixed results, it was shortened, majors were cancelled outright or postponed, and it was odd that there were no galleries. Rory and Tiger commented that the roar and excitement of the crowds motivated them, at the same time we had some brash newcomers jump to the leader board, probably because of being less nervous that there weren’t 80,000 people watching their every move. I made a profit for 2020, not what I’m used to, but considering the shortened season and the fact that we had a sport to watch, I look forward to bigger events and better prize money for 2021. The best way to do that is to read the articles in Win Daily Sports and ask questions in Discord. I’ve written for a lot of companies, this has to be one of the finest group of writers anywhere, anytime, a team dedicated to getting you in the pay section of your tourney. Antonio doesn’t write every week but when he does please read it, it contains solid dope for your teams. Sia has knocked it out every single week with his secret weapon play, I’m a writer and I go to Discord every Wednesday night to get the play like you do, because it pays. Isaiah and Louis also contribute incredible intel. There’s also Patrick “Sharps” Scott, who just recently took down 2 grand and first place in a FREEROLL, who does that? By the way Patrick, the Sheriff’s department in Collin Morikawa’s home town said please stop calling them, they have checked, he’s okay, and it’s not unusual that he’s bypassing the Safeway Open, in a related note they do have an opening for a new dispatch operator. Let’s get to the Safeway Open Final Ownership projections where high prices are the norm for normal golfers.
Brendan Steele is the top owned golfers this week at 22%. Harold Varner lll is second at 21.7%, Joel Dahmen is third at 21.4%, Jordan Spieth is a surprising fourth at 21.2%.

Picks for the Safeway Open
Golfers, the difference between the high 10K golfers and the high 7 K golfers is only 10%. The top tier has a 35% chance to finish top 20, while those 7500 and above have a 25% chance. The only players I like up top are Sergio Garcia and Jordan Spieth, Spieth is one of two golfers who have gained strokes in their last tournaments before the restart.
For the best value I like Harold Varner lll and Lucas Glover.
In the low end I’m fond of J Vegas.
My out in left field play this week is Chris Baker, Isaiah mentioned him Monday night, and the more I looked into him, the more I liked what I saw. My honorable mention this week is Adam Schenk.
Please read all the articles from the Win Daily Sports staff, and we will be in the Discord channel after the reports are out, and remember Sia’s SW pick will be revealed in Discord later tonight.
As always I hope to be with you, in the money.
