Aloha and how about a brand new golf season Happy New Year hope you guys enjoyed the very short off season a couple of weeks but in a couple of weeks a lot has gotten done on my end and I’m going to show you that as we go through

This preview of the century but I’ve got new tools to show you I’ve got two different oneandone leagues for you to get into I’ve got information about season long fantasy and I’ve got a new partnership that I think you guys are going to be pretty excited for so there

Is a lot to go through besides the fact that we’re going to cover the statistical extremes of this golf course we’re going to go through the field like we do each and every week and break it down and see who has the best chance to separate themselves from everybody else

So I’m absolutely stoked to be back thank you all so much for the support here in 2024 let’s not waste any more time let’s get into it all right here’s my website rickun good.com and for the most part everything you see is going to be from my website it’s a giant golf database

For fantasy and betting I love it I think you will love it too we always start with the golf course and it’s going to be no different this week 59 golfers a no cut event it’s no longer the Tournament of Champions it is the century and it is now open to those who

Both won last year and those who finished in the top I think it’s 50 of the FedEx Cup Standing so there are 59 golfers the only golfer who is eligible who will not be teeing it up this week Rory Mary so 59 golfers no cut and we start in Maui this golf course

Statistically is very very unique the scorecard says it’s about 7600 yards it will play nowhere near that despite being at sea level there’s a ton of undulation there is a ton of roll out you see very long drives here that is Extreme the wide Fairways off the tea at

Some Point’s 100 yards wide very extreme in fact this is the only Golf Course on the PGA tour schedule that technically does not have a missed Fairway penalty um there’s a couple of things that go into that I wrote about it on rickun good.com but everybody’s playing out of

The Fairway and if you’re not for the most part it’s not that big of a deal because everybody’s playing out of those same spots more on that in just one second then you get some of the largest greens that we get on the PGA tour

Schedule it’s a par 73 there is just so much extreme about this golf course on paper when you look at the correlated stats which is a a breakdown of the last 12 years of data looking at the types of golfers that have had the most success

At each golf course and then looking at the stats that they are the best at driving accuracy has actually been negatively correlated to success that’s Bonkers that rarely happens because accuracy doesn’t really matter you can be JJ spawn you can be Brendan Todd you can be a shorter hitter as long as

You’re hitting the correct side of the Fairway get the same result the same roll out as your much longer peers distance does come into play on the second shot you’ll see driving distance uh show up here on the model as the fifth most important meaning uh excuse

Me meaning uh that there are only four other courses on the PGA tour schedule in which driving distance is more important it is third in Strokes gained approach which means there’s only two other courses in which driving distance is or excuse me which Strokes gained approach is uh more important I’m a

Little rusty offse coming off uh an offseason break Strokes game putting is number one T to Green is number I mean it’s just it’s just such an extreme stat profile I’m going to break this down a little bit for you um in what I see to

Me this is by far a second Shot Golf Course um I’m going to show you where the t- shots land at caloa okay so let me see here so so when you drive it off the tea this is a just a very quick graphic that I put together if you’re if

You’re listening to the podcast version of this I’m showing basically every single part for and par five at capalo I’m showing you the the the shot by shot data to show you the the plot of where these balls land and you will see there is such a Congregation of shots collection areas

You know you look down here on the bottom on the bottom right almost every single golfer no matter how good they are off the tea how bad they are no how short how long is playing to from the same spot on the second shot and the reason for that is this these massive

Undulations you get it rolling down the everything just goes to the same exact spot that’s quite rare on the PGA tour it’s quite rare to have this lack of dispersion of t- shots and what that means to me is that um it doesn’t really matter how good you are off the te

You’re GNA get a very similar result there’s there are very few spots in which great drivers are going to be able to separate themselves from everybody else so when you put everybody whether it’s in the Fairway or whether it’s here on number one where everybody just kind

Of hits it two yards through the Fairway and into the rough when you put everybody into the same spot for your second shot it turns this golf course into just an approach Fest I don’t know if that’s the word I was looking for uh a bonanza right it’s just now you’ve removed one

Aspect of the game everybody’s playing from the same spot the second shot player is the best approach player are going to now separate themselves there’s a lot more dispersion on the second shots when everybody’s playing in from 100 yards or 150 yards or whatever that looks like and what that does look like

Is a lot of wedges in so over 42% of shots last year approach shots came from inside 100 yards um which is more than the PGA Tour average in fact the two proximity buckets uh that were more than the PGA Tour average were shots inside

100 yards and shots from 100 to 125 so there are issues with proximity buckets obviously we talk about that a lot but when you get those two right next to each other basically 125 yards in are the only two buckets that are over the um tour average for those buckets you

Got to you got to take a look and on the left- hand side I’m showing you what the average approach numbers were for each one of uh these holes so when you put that together to me this is a golf course that is looking for uh doesn’t

Really matter what you do off the te be a be a great wedge player particularly from 125 yards and in and then you are going to have to make a lot of putts um you know this is a a situation where the winning score likely to be 25 maybe 30

Under par depending on on wind conditions you are going to have to make a lot of putts it is um kind of a prerequisite for Success around this place if you actually want to win the golf course if you look at the last 36 rounds and you take the stats from the

Top portion of the screen and you apply those stats based on what the each one of these golfers has done in the last 36 ludig oberg uh gets the best adjusted course fit number not only is he great off the te which uh he gets a he gets a

Benefit from distance which he sees more on the second shot than he sees on the first shot here um but he also gets a great uh benefit on everywhere else he’s been he’s been phenomenal approach play around the green he’s he’s just been phenomenal um Victor hin two Xander uh

Excuse me Scotty sheffler Xander Schley 4 JT Poston rounding out the top five you can adjust the number of rounds that you want here if you want to view this for more recent or if you want to reset everybody back to a larger sample size because we’ve had some time off we

Haven’t seen some of these guys uh in in quite a bit I would be okay with you doing that as well all right here is the cheat sheet at rickun good.com I’ve got it sorted by salary there are three golfers over $110,000 they are Scotty Sheffer they are Victor hin and they are

Xander Schley Scotty sheffler I think think is obviously fascinating number one player in the world he’s fresh off of his win at the hero world challenge the question is going to be Ken Scotty putt right I’m just just pull my string I’ll say the same thing we said um last

Year Ken Scotty Putt and the good news about this is um Scotty has played this event twice and if I can spell it correctly Scotty has played this event twice 2023 and 2022 he has never lost Strokes putting at the plantation course at capalo he’s gained three Strokes put

Last year he gained one and a half uh two years ago when you look at his 2023 as a whole there were only I believe one the only week that he puted better in the entirety of 2023 was the Phoenix Open he won that event so there is at

Least uh probably a little bit of confidence you know he’s been working with a a new putting instructor he goes and and gains a stroke or just below that for the Hero World Challenge I think there’s a lot of positivity for Scotty to just go out and demolish this

Place right that that is honestly how I feel I think he is very welld deserving of the top price and I think that there is a lot of there there are guys when you look at this where there is not much more juice that you could squeeze out of

Their game there is like another stroke per round you could squeeze out of Scotty’s game which is terrifying because he’s been by far the best player in the world for a long time and he’s gaining basically Two Strokes per round and he’s doing some things that only

Tiger did from tto Green I think there’s like seriously another half a stroke or a stroke per round to squeeze out of it which is which is terrifying for the rest of the world Victor hin emerged in 2023 as maybe the next number one player in the world his his results coming down

The stretch of the PGA Tour season with the win at the BMW Championship the win at the Tour Championship he was phenomenal at the Ryder Cup etc etc um just just unmatched uh there are a couple of red flags that I would that I would worry about you look at his

History at the Tournament of Champions and it’s not very good he’s played here three times last three years and he’s finished t31 T30 t18 remember these are small Fields And even even worse um you know he’s really struggled with the flat stick he’s never gained Strokes putting

On these surfaces and he’s lost four and a half three and then he lost just a smidge in 2023 could that turn around he’s had a phenomenal he’s had a great year putting I got to stop saying the word phenomenal I feel like I’ve said it

A hundred times already but um it is something to be worried about because when you look at every golfer in this field at the plantation course and you sort this by stroke gain putting or or the bottom end of Strokes gain putting Victor havland is the third worst putter

Here of guys that have played at least 12 rounds so Lucas Glover lost a stroke has lost a stroke uh and a quarter in his 12 rounds Keegan Bradley has lost a stroke per round in his 15 rounds and then you get Victor havin who’s lost

Two-thirds of a stroke putting in his 12 rounds still very much trying to figure out uh what he I mean he he changes so frequently he’s so young his skill set evolves fast we’ll see if he’s able to kind of um defeat the putting demons but it has

Not been good for Victor at the Tournament of Champions or the century now on the other end of things while I while I have this up here here’s Xander Schley you know there’s there’s not many guys who have played as many rounds at the plantation course as Xander has he

Won this event in 2019 remember that one he’s got a runner-up finish a fifth place finish he did withdraw in 2023 remember that it was like a weird back injury said he’s like never been hurt before and then he withdrew after I want to say just one round last year and that

Even even with that big negative in that in 2023 it does not bring down his uh average at the plantation course enough right I mean there’s only one guy who has played as many rounds as Xander Schley as well at this golf course and it’s Jordan SP so Xander uh still

Cranking here I think is is a very viable option to be in contention right a high floor golfer is he going to close out and win TBD no idea probably not if you H give me any one golfer I’m gonna say they’re probably not going to win

That’s not a hot take by any stretch but to for him to be in contention it makes a lot of sense as tto green play is great he’s one of the best Putters actually I was doing um do I have this handy I I was doing a little bit of

Putting research and I was looking at you know putts that were eight feet actually technically seven and a half feet to eight and a half feet and how frequently guys are making those and Xander makes them at a very very high clip especially ones for birdie and

Those are usually coin flips on the PJ tour they’re 5050 he makes like 61% of them or something like that so he’s a much better I don’t know how to put this like birdie putter than people give him credit for so he’s certainly capable of

Filling it up I I I’d be interested to see what the ownership looks like for these top three I love Victor I’ll probably bet him out right as I do every single week but I think there’s a lot of interesting viable reasons to play Scotty to play Xander and then see

Especially if Victor gets popular it’s probably out from me in a game theories perspective we chug along to the 9k range here after this range I’ll uh I’ll show you the new tools I’ll show you the one and done stuff but but stay tuned for that so we’ve got Patrick Klay Max

Homo Windam Clark Matt Fitzpatrick Brian Haron Terell Hatten then we rounded out with col morawa and Tommy Fleetwood okay a lot here uh I think any one of these guys can win the golf tournament Patrick can’t lay um a little bit just lukewarm on you know his history at this golf

Course is good I’m not sure it’s great he has two top five finishes and then he’s got three finishes 15th 13th and 16th again it’s always a small field sometimes as small as like 30 golfers this is okay um the one thing that worries me a little bit is he is

Not very good or at least in 2023 he was not very good on those wedge buckets at least compared to some of his peers right from 50 to 125 yards it’s a big range but he was 93rd on the PGA tour from 100 to 125 he was a little bit

Better 47th 125 to 150th 48th so he’s kind of living in that 40 to 50 range with the shorter irons he’s much better and he’s able to separate himself on the long irons he’s got a he’s number one in going for the green he’s great from 200

To 225 he hits the green a lot when he goes for it in two so I expect him to be able to pick apart these par five I I do wonder if he’s got enough on the fours and the threes um especially with a lot of those wed shots that are going

To be coming in on on the shorter holes if he’s able to separate himself enough there so a little bit lukewarm I think he’s very fairly priced the golfer that I’m I’m most excited about is Colin morawa and you’ve got to uh you know if you have if you’ve been following along

I’m very much a believer that that Colin is going to have a a big 2024 the the metrics in 2023 where he did not win until the Zozo just recently at in October uh were just as good as the other versions of Colin that we have

Seen where he was piling up Victory so I I still see an Elite approach player a very good driver of the ball and somebody that can get hot enough with a Putter and win his metrics are very good here and very good like course fitwise so course history he’s played here four

Times sth 7th fifth second the reason in which he is probably so good here is because he is one of the best players with a wedge in hand now he’s one of the best players from basically 200 yards and in or at least he was in 2023 he was

Sixth from 175 to 200 sixth from 150 to 175 7th from 125 to 150 second from 100 to 125 that is a 100 yard range in which he was no worse than seventh he’s actually 13th and 10th on longer than that and shorter than that or or at

Least a larger bucket 50 to 125 he was second yikes okay Colin is dirty on the second shot it’s it’s sickening uh don’t listen to him when he tells you his his swing is in in is out of whack or it’s in flux do not listen to him he is

Phenomenal he may I said it again he makes enough birdies I’m going to get a thesaurus around here at some point but but this is so so good to get him at $99,100 I mean he’s cheaper than Windam Clark he’s cheaper than Brian Haron I’m excited about Matt Fitzpatrick this year

He he keeps adding distance he just showed on Instagram or somewhere um what his swing speed and his ball speeds up to he’s played well at this event he played well at the hero I’m excited about mat Fitzpatrick but in no way should mat Patrick be $400 more

Expensive than Colin morawa I I I think that is absolute silliness so um f Patrick Colin and then the other thing that I wanted to point out here and I’ll go to the power rankings for this I want to find Tommy yeah so this is the last

50 rounds 50 round I mean 50 rounds was ludvig’s entirety of a pro uh 2023 50 rounds is about half a year for most of these guys a lot of guys play Closer to 100 for a full year last 50 rounds for everybody in this field Tommy Fleetwood

Was the six best player uh he gained a stroke and three quarters per round he did it very well-rounded gained a half a stroke off the te a half a stroke on approach a half a stroke with the Putter and he was a positive around the green

Player I I mean it is it is so darn good the other thing is um when you look at uh this is something I was researching a couple weeks ago I might have put it out in a newsletter I can’t remember but basically the idea of uh Strokes gained

How often a golfer gains five or more Strokes to the field in a single round how what their averages are and then comparing it to wins because winning is winning is a luck thing there there’s a lot of luck that’s involved in winning Tommy Fleetwood is like one of the top

Guys to break out and have multiple wins in in 2024 and he had another close call at the at the uh DP World Tour Championship he played well at the rer cup he’s been all around it right sixth at the BMW PGA Championship by the way

Rick rang good.com I cover six tours so I’ve got the PGA Tour data I’ve got the European tour data I’ve got Liv Asian Senior Tour corn fairy tour so you’re getting a complete picture for all of these golfers I’d be buying a lot of stock in Tommy Fleetwood right now uh

For 2024 it feels like those wins are coming uh the stats allude to the same thing okay before we get to the 8K range I do want to show you some of the stuff that I’ve been working on if you are a rick run good subscriber I think you’re

Going to be pretty excited about this if you’re not if you’re just watching this for free I mean you’re going to see cool stuff I think I think you’ll be excited about it as well so I’ve spent a lot of time U this offseason to to do a couple

Of items number one is to redo the golfer profiles and um these things that I’m showing you are not live yet they are on my staging server so um I’m just making sure everything’s in order testing everything and then I will push it live hopefully um I think the Sony

Open is probably a good Target for these so I’m hoping to have this stuff out within the next week um this is the new golfer profile page and and what it is going to allow you to do is just get a much better idea for the fantasy scoring

Of these golfers for the skill set for their Trends you’re going to be able to click through and see how they played in each round which is something that um you didn’t have access to you had to do that in the Holy Grail previously it’s going to show you as many years of

Statistics as as you want you’re going to still be able to have all your filtering um for major championships for years for tournaments for courses for all of that stuff so all all of this is here for you I’m really excited about it and now this is G this connects now to

The custom model so when you favored a golfer on the custom model they show up favored it on the golfer profiles and vice versa um it is also when you are at on the custom model and you click a golfer’s name it is going to take you to

Their golfer profile page so it is just making the website much more cohesive more data powering it up it’s got odds it’s got ownership it’s got fantasy points all that stuff okay so really happy about this it was was a much needed Improvement to the golfer profiles um I’m not raising price or

Anything like that so if you’re a rick run good subscriber you’re getting this you’re getting access to it the other thing that I wanted to make an update to uh was to the live leaderboard so if you’ve ever heard me before you know I I think that um Rick run

Good.com it looks forward it does a lot of you know projections and modeling it looks backwards there is a lot of historical data on it I need to do a better job of of kind of being the ingame in-game as well the live as well

Um so what I did is I I partnered up with um IMG to bring you a a a live shot tracker on on rickun good.com so basically this again this might be a little slow it’s on my staging server but you’re going to be able to see live

Leaderboards you’re going to be able to see the whole by hole shot breakdown with the course imagery see everybody’s scorecard see everybody’s stats see everybody Strokes gained numbers in real time you’re going to be able to click around to different groups and go see whatever hole you want on these golf

Courses um hopefully this will load here again this is my staging server here we go yeah you’ll be able to see shot by shot you’ll be able to click around and and rotate everything and see you know what you want for basically a live shot tracker um it’ll be easier to

Follow uh matchups because you’ll be able to click on groups and see those groups you’ll be able to see Ho by hole like I was mentioning and and and do all the stats as well so hope to have this up and running here uh in the next week

Or so um not just for the PGA Tour but how about this all the European tour events as well so a live tracker for PGA a live tracker for the Euro tour my goal being that you don’t need to go anywhere else right you’re GNA go to Rick run

Good on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and you’re going to go there Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday as well so I’m really excited about this again uh I’m not changing prices it it’s it’s included this is a value ad I build things because I think they’re awesome for me

And I think what I like is what you guys are going to like and I love this um this is something I’ll just tell you a quick story about how this came up this is something that came up um at the Ryder Cup actually so I was in Rome and

I met with the the IMG guys and they we were kind of talking about the technology and we were standing on the first grand stand right behind the first te and we timed it we timed how long from a impact of a golf ball to it

Showing up in the tracker and it was eight seconds we counted eight seconds now four of that five of that the the golf ball was in the air um so that is how quickly the data is coming through so I’m really excited about this I’m

Excited to to show it to you guys again I’m this these two items are in um in in produ or excuse me in testing they will be in production soon I’m hoping within the next week or so um so that’s there’s the plug to go sign up for rickun

Good.com right you’re getting all the data as you are you’re getting constant improvements I’m all in let’s do it okay uh I will talk more about oneand done leagues and I’ll talk more about a new partnership but let’s get back to that 8K range and continue this conversation

The eights starts with Tom Kim goes down to Hideki Matsuyama okay so when you start looking at statistical trends of golfers you are going to see a lot of really good things for Tom Kim we talked about this a lot in 2023 the first half of 2023 stunk for Tom Kim the second

Half much better in which he got back to his roots which was gaining four five six seven strokes on approach and getting really hot with the flat stick so he goes out and over the course of his final nine events of the PGA Tour and European tour season I have those

Digits as well uh he did not lose Strokes putting and he gained a ton along the way so you’re getting a short hitter which doesn’t matter here with Elite second shot play which matters who can get hot with the flat stick yes yes yes all of that stuff adds up he

Finished fifth here last year in his only uh in his only trip so again buying stock on Tom Kim in 2024 Jordan spe I find fascinating I said this for the Hero World Challenge and I kind of feel the same way this week no idea if he’s going

To finish dead last no idea if he is going to win the golf tournament he has had a ton of success at the plantation course if you look at it it’s a it’s a runner-up finish a win this goes back to 2014 as well so nearly a decade so you

Can write those off but uh his most his two most recent starts he’s only played twice since 2018 we’re a 21st and a 13th that is a little bit more concerning but plenty of Good Vibes and you know what he did excuse me at Albany was better

You know he gained two strokes on approach so he so he broke a string of of losing on approach the putter still has not really cooperated we talked about guys that I think there’s a little bit more juice to squeeze out of I think there’s a little bit more to squeeze out

Of Jordan spe I I think you’re gonna get a lot of Jordan spe litmus tests early in the year um you know he’s always played well here is he going to play well here again Pebble Beach early in the year is he going to play well there

Again um by the time we get to the Masters we’re gonna have a pretty good idea of Jordan spe I would probably try to be early rather than late I’ll take a little bit of risk on spe uh this week as well ludvig we’ve spent a lot of time

I don’t think we need to talk about ludvig he is I almost said it again he’s outstanding the game translates a lot of different places he is $8,700 I think there is a a decent chance that as this season goes on he is firmly in the $

9,000 $10,000 range I I I I think that highly of him the stat profile is nuts if you go to the power rankings you I mean you can realize that he’s got um you know he has a much smaller sample size than in 2023 than a lot of these

Other guys but we look just purely at the last 50 rounds last 50 rounds doesn’t matter what the time frame is there’s only three golfers in this field who are gaining at least two strokes per round it’s Scotty Sheffer it’s Victor havin and it’s ludvig oberg holy crap

One of them is 11,000 the other is 10,500 and the third is $8,700 there is a really good chance the days of an $8,700 lud viig do not last very long the bottom of this range Cameron young if you missed it uh split with Paul Torri remember this I guess probably

This time last year the a huge move where where caddy Paul Tor leaves web simpsons’s bag after a Dozen Years joins cam young and everybody picks cam young to win everything and it was a really bad year it was a bad year he didn’t have a lot

Of great results his stat profile is very concerning to me and he now Parts ways with Paul Tor Paul Tori goes on Brendan Todd’s bag I did not hear who is going on cam Young’s bag for uh this week or if that is something that might be permanent moving forward if he’s

Gonna get somebody and it’s gonna be the same guy this is this is a scary stat profile um still driving it well not as well as he did in 2022 but driving it driving it well the approach play is bad the short game is bad and the putter is worse I

Mean it it is I don’t know if it is just a caddy thing or if it is the guy holding the club but I’m gonna play a wait and see approach on cam young I’ve been doing it for seven months it’s worked out just fine let me point out

Sun JM Sun JM has played here each of the last three years he’s finished no worse than 13th sunj m is statistically a a very good golfer for this course because he is accurate off the te and long enough so he gets all the role as everybody else he plays

To the correct Fairway he has gained you know you look at the guys in terms of just gaining Strokes off the tea at the plantation course you have bombers like cam young young Luke list but then it’s Justin Rose colum morawa Sun JM two three and four why why is that well they

Can hit the correct spot of the Fairway you don’t have to be super long so Sun JM has gained the fifth most Strokes off the te of anybody in this field in in 12 rounds then he then he piles on this you know this great second shot play and the

Ability to get lightning hot with the putter uh sunjay had I think a an underrated Good Year in 2023 we never really talked about him I don’t remember him being super In Contention he scored a ton of fantasy points along the way he

Played a lot he had a bunch of top 10 it didn’t feel like it uh I think this would be a really good spot for him to kind of get that conversation back in in his Direction before we get into the 7K range uh speaking of fantasy points uh

My fantasy rankings are out my my Live season long fantasy rankings are on rickun good.com I’ll give you a quick look at them right now oh quick quick look look look look um this is a 19 it goes to the top 120 if you want to join

A season long league and do the drafts uh they are up and running we’ll put the link in the description but the the the Excel spreadsheet or the Google Doc with the leagues that are available and spots that are available is already up and running we’re seeing some some leagues

Be uh filled up here we are also if you want to be a commissioner and start one all the only thing you have to do is create the league with the rules which is very simple I’ve posted them before I’ll post them in the description as

Well and you can just post a league and that’s it you don’t have to like collect the money you can use Fant tracks for that um drafts are starting so my draft is is is J starts January 1 it’s a slow draft so it’s done online but you can

Start this you know admittedly uh I mean I think the 11th is when the Sony Open when the Sony starts so you’ve got some time to do this but get involved and also if you were in a League last year you can just restart that league right

You don’t need me to do it Go re go restart that League everybody who was in it if they want to get in can get in if not they they can get out so uh so that’s available so season law so we’ve got tools we’ve got updates we’ve got

Season long stuff how about one and done Rick how about one and done okay this is you know there is a hard deadline to this right because you got to be in before the Sony Open starts and I know one and done is going crazy um by the

Time you’re watching this you may or may not have seen a a oneandone video from me this year so um this video will come out first then the one and done video will come out probably Tuesday of the century I have two different leagues two different one and done leagues that you

Can get in you can get into both if you fit uh one of the issues that we’ve had in the past is there there’s not been a global solution I tried to do that myself so I created this is on a platform that I control a oneandone league uh it’s called rungood golf.com

And what it is is it is open to every everyone and it will track everything it is stat tracking it is a global ranking system where you’ll be placed into divisions um of 72 golfers if you are at the top of your division you can be promoted to a better Division if you’re

At the bottom you can be relegated uh it has so every single golfer has excuse me every single user has their own profile page you can earn badges based on accomplishments that you do uh it’s just a really fun League that’s open to everyone and the good good news is if

You have ever participated in one of my oneand done in the past I already have your data loaded in okay which is which is pretty cool so you already have a profile page you can sign up you can be anywhere it’s this is this is this is

For fun this is for rankings this is a global ranking system there are prizes they will be small it’s $39 to get in but I got to worry about legalities I got to worry about regulation worldwide so there are prizes uh but you will get some physical items and then I’ll do

Some giveaways as well so you can check that all out rungood golf.com starts on the Sony Open 39 bucks if you are in the United States and you are in one of the 41 states that are participating you can also get into the big money oneand done

On Splash we’ve been using Splash for um NFL Survivor we used Splash for the weekly contests last year and now they have one and done which was kind of the point I wanted something all Under One Roof so this is $150 an entry up to three entries if we fill it first place

Will be 30 grand it pays out 15% of whatever amount of people get in and it’s a flat payout structure which is something that I wanted to do and it’s all hosted on Splash Sports 41 states which is actually a lot of States All Things Considered but apologies to those

In the nine that aren’t apologies to our you know our c and Mexico and international friends but I don’t control this it’s the legalities of of the big money league so you can sign up for one you can sign up for the other you can sign up for both I encourage you

To be in both I’ll be in both um will be a lot of fun and yeah appreciate appreciate the support okay let’s keep going 7K range the 7K range is fun Keegan Bradley sep staka all the way down to sew Kim Adam hadwin Nick Taylor this is a larger field than previous

Years so there is kind of a lot to go through through here in the 7K range there’s the course fit guys are going to be like your Russell Henley’s uh you know these these really good wedge players um it’s a little bit different because because we’ve had a break and I

I do generally set a lot of these guys back to larger sample sizes it’s also why you’ll hear me say I’m trying to buy stocking guys because we don’t have necessarily a ton of recent form so guys that I just think are going to be trending for the new

Year and one of the guys that I mentioned earlier uh in terms of where when you look at their their stats and compare it to their wins it’s not enough is obviously Eric Cole you know Eric Cole finished his last five events with four top four finishes zero wins um

Hasn’t missed a cut since the Charles Schwab that was in May really great second shot player can get hot with the putter his his big issue is he is not very good off the tea he does not hit it far and he does not hit hit it

Accurately now you have to be like only a little bit accurate here just find the correct side of the Fairway but if there was going to be a place where the poor driving doesn’t matter right statistically it is actually neg driving accuracy is actually negatively correlated to success here that’s it’s

Bonkers this would be the guy right I I think he’s gonna be quite popular because you know he was the Rookie of the Year or whatever and just like I think he’s going to be pretty popular but $7,400 this is a really really good spot for him I continue to worry that Lucas

Glover was kind of fo’s gold found I mean he always Stripes it right don’t get me wrong he always Stripes it found this this scorching hot putter for four out of six weeks or really if you go back like four out of 40 weeks and he

Won two of them that that I I I’ve not seen the good putting in fact he’s lost Strokes putting in in his last three he has lost Strokes putting in five out of seven the two events that we don’t have have putting metrics for because we don’t get The Strokes game breakdown he

Finished t59 and T45 which is not good finishes in those fields so I I worry about that and if you look at his history at the plantation course he played here last year he lost eight Strokes putting and five on approach he’s probably not gonna lose five on

Approach again could he lose eight putting maybe and then he played here in 2010 which I’m not even going to talk about but I will talk about because he lost two strokes putting but I I really if I’m buying stocks of those other guy I’d probably be shorting Lucas

Glover or at least selling high and just taking my profits and and and moving on that that’s a pretty concerning situation that we have there I think JT poston’s interesting another golfer who has been giving up Strokes off the tea because he’s not long enough and he’s

Not accurate enough but gets a really good course fit at this place otherwise I’m I’m interested in Harris English a name that we haven’t talked about I assume he’s healthy right does anybody have any information on this he played um played the Windom played the FedEx stjude played the BMW Championship I I

Suppose that is where his season ended then he played the RSM classic in the fall and finished T28 not a super finish but he is playing a little bit better he’s won this event before he’s just gone through so much injury and bad play and that kind of Builds on one another

He is not back statistically to where he was in 2020 and 2021 which were awesome but he is not in the valley of 2022 he is at least on his way out and I think this is kind of an interesting spot for him and he’s played well enough he

Missed the cut of the Open Championship missed the cut at the PGA Championship missed the cut at the Players other than that he made every single cut uh back to that point and played fairly well so I’m I’m like vaguely interested there in a Range that there’s not a ton that gets

Me excited I am buying Denny McCarthy stock this year I’m worried about KK kyama I think sah maybe next week you know there are if he plays next week there there are guys you know he sprays it all over the yard that’s great but he’s not good

Enough with his wedges so there’s not a lot of guys that check off every single box here when it’s course fit course history you know recent form all that stuff so I imagine Eric Cole is going to Capt capture a ton of ownership we’ll see where Denny McCarthy lands we’ll see

Where JT post and lands maybe we can pivot to to a Harris English or something of of that nature and and kind of and kind of go from there um the 6K range is pretty good okay let me let me show you Tom hogi Tom hogi did not have a

Good 2023 Tom Hog’s I think it was his best finish was this event last year and the reason was because he gained 10 and a half stro oh excuse me uh right here 10.2 Strokes on approach because he is probably the best wedge player in the world right so his skill

Set is so magnified at this golf course it’s it’s unbelievable and he played probably better down the stretch than you remember because he went to Wentworth the BMW PGA Championship a great event uh on the European tour finished T14 started in the fall played in at the Sanderson finished t13 he did

Miss the cut at the Shriners and he finished t-48 at the Zozo but this is a really really good spot form at a very cheap price Brendan Todd if you talk about accuracy not mattering uh turning in wedge play turning into a great Putter and you get this boost of Paul

Torri on the bag and maybe you get like a little you guys play well together for the first time very very viable at $6,900 I’m going to let the custom model probably take care of the rest of these guys but you know svenson’s interesting I remember for nine straight weeks I

Said svenson’s going to win the RSM Club classic spencon is going to win the RSM classic finished fifth it was fine um excited about him as well and Mackenzie Hughes who had a phen uh God I got what am I doing who had a stellar fall impressive fall let’s do the custom

Model and then I will announce the new partnership custom model custom model rickun good.com okay let’s reset here what are we gonna do we’re g to doif last 50 rounds I think that’s fair right let’s get a little bit of long-term stuff in here what are we going do on

The weights we are going to do a little bit of distance 10 we’re going to do nothing on accuracy we are going to do uh we’re going to do some buckets here some some some approach play buckets we’re going to do 10 on 50 to 75 yards we are going to

Do 15 on 75 to 100 and we are going to do 15 on 100 to 125 we are also going to do opportunities gained for 10 which will be uh an overall approach metric that will uh also point to guys that make a ton of birdies we are then going to do

We have 40 left we are going to do 10 on Bermuda putting we’re going to do some scoring stats here so we’re going to do um you know birdie or better on 10 we are going do par five uh Strokes game par five and then we are going to do course history we’re

Going to put our final 10 on kaaloa our number one golfer is Scotty sheff uh which is no surprise Sheffer Xander hom is third didn’t talk about hom Colin is fourth sunj is fifth so four and five are 9100 and 8100 you see the problem here Victor is

18th it’s not a good rank for the second most expensive golfer um Tom Kim is six lud viig is seven Russell hen Henley is eight Burns nine spe 10 so again look look at the guys look at where compared to their salary so kentle gets knocked down to 11th we

Already talked about Victor uh look at guys that get bumps Glover gets a big bump Cole gets a big bump they’re 16 and 17 hii is pretty live here at 8,000 plenty of guys in the 6K range that are inside the top 20 of my ranks Chris Kirk

Is $6,800 he’s 19th uh Tom hogi 6700 he’s 20th Brendon Todd there he is 6900 22nd so the fow gets a knockdown way down there Fleetwood as well wow stinks uh but yeah this is you know this is a this is a very wedge appr roach heavy

Model I’ll save this we can we can talk about it on the T on the Wednesday live show wow the Wednesday live show it’s back baby right how about that we are in the swing of things uh that’s 3 pm Eastern Time Rick run good YouTube channel we are rocking and rolling

Okay I’ve been putting it off long enough so without further Ado the new partnership is Underdog fantasy yes let’s go okay so uh a lot of you I’m sure have heard of of Underdog fantasy uh the reason that I thought it was a really good fit for kind of the Rick run

Good ecosystem is not only do they have the pick them product right the the the more or less um the ability to build these uh these entries you know two to five entries they do it in a great way where they’ve got live you can get in

There and do it live I’ve been messing around with this the last couple of weeks as this has been coming together and you can also do Scorchers which multiply it even more but that that’s one thing the the thing that I’m really excited about is the drafts so one of

The common things that I have gotten what common questions common statements over the course of the last couple of years is Rick when is best ball gonna come to golf when best ball best ball best ball best ball is taking over the world okay and I get it you draft once

And you don’t have to set lineups and the best teams just continue to advance Underdog does best ball better than anybody they’ve got golf drafts they’ve got um obviously football ones or every sport but I cannot wait to do golf best balls with you guys I cannot wait to do

Weekly drafts with you guys I cannot wait to do weekly uh pick them with you guys across all sports but I love the addition of pickham and dra and drafting together that is huge so um they don’t so I’m recording this you know obviously early in the

Week it’s it’s the Sunday before the Sentry so there there are not any pick thems or anything out for the PGA Tour yet so on the Wednesday show we’ll go through some options for golf um what I will ask you to do is to get ready for

That go deposit use the code Rick that’ll be uh up to a $100 deposit match and we will be ready to rock and roll for later in this week the other thing is you guys know I I just love the idea of trying to find edges and trying to

Find ways to like take all their money even though they’re like a good partner and they’ve been awesome throughout this you know the ability to try to come in here and and make a couple of of entries and you know like stick it to these guys

That you know that that that that’s okay we can do that you know I have a I have a dashboard that I use that looks through all the props to figure out if uh you know they’re good values or not so we’re gonna do a a really good job of

Of trying to get uh as much out of these guys as as possible and stick it to them but I’m I’m proud of it you know they are they’ve been a great partner so far the tech is great the apps awesome um I think they do a really good job and I

You know have their word about a commitment to golf which is something that I’m really excited about so so go deposit it is uh code Rick there’s a link in the description that’ll get you your 00 deposit uh match and we will be going through this and add a new way to

Play with each other and to to have some fun I’m excited about the drafts pick them will be great as well but yeah it’s a good fit it’s obviously a great fit um a lot of good guys over there okay that will do it for this show there is a lot more to

  2. Excited to be in the one & done this year. You said my favorite line "I love it, I think you will love it too." That needs to be trademarked 😂

  3. I tried to get UD to do a full PGA season Best Ball this year so hopefully you have some pull for that next year!! Congratulations on the partnership, they picked a great guy!

  4. RRG is by far the most congenial, good hearted, good natured, professional DFS content tip provider, not to mention "ONE LUCKY DUDE."** . . . . . . tinmaD, If I could start my DFS Career 👈😂 over as a "BRAND NEW MAN" in the year of JEFF "2024" GORDON, I would…

    1. Sign-up with RRG. 2. Play only single-entry tournaments, 3. Play 33.33% of bankroll in cash. 4. Have a set bankroll. 5. Sign-up with Underdog using RRG code. 6.

    ** If ever marrying, always, and I mean ALWAYS, with-out fail, OKYC aka "Out Kick Your Coverage" and treat her like the Queen she is. Rick did this and look how well he’s doing. Hey YoRicko, you did not once give credit to said Queen. I know this was a slight over-look as you have always given “Mary-Jane” (not real name) her credit. Love ya brother. Let’s make 2024 a Great Great Year for all of DFS and especially ACK aka A Complex Kid. com. Thanks Buddie. Happy New Year and Good Luck to All.

  5. Man, the sentry is always one of those weird tournaments where it's usually more profitable to just sit back, see where everyone's games are at and adjust your rankings/projections/expectations for the weeks to follow. January is always hard to know who's on a heater or who is actually here to stay as a contender.

  6. Congrats on the Underdog partnership! They easily have the best app UX/UI in the space. I've been drafting on their site for years, but PGA is something they lagged behind in. In 2021 and 2022, I messaged them asking to add PGA season-long best ball, and I even suggested you, Rick, as a partner to help promote the product. They eventually launched some majors-only best ball drafts that were a ton of fun, but it'll be fun to see PGA continue to grow as an offering.

  7. This was PHENOMONAL!!! In all seriousness, awesome content! Think I'm going to dive in and go with your site for golf this year!

  8. Hey Rick! Mike here,just wanted to say that I love watching you and on many occasions I’ve won outright. Keep up the great work and I look forward to winning much more this year
