Tour Championship + British Masters Recap
East Lake Golf Club + The Belfry · August 27–30, 2026
Scheffler won the Tour Championship at -16. Our three Best Bets all missed on the WIN market, but Gotterup's T4 at $29 is the result that demands attention — a Top 5 finish that would have paid under E/W 1-5 terms but lost as WIN-only. Joe Dean won the British Masters from the Watchlist; Rodrigues T9 narrowly missed 5-place terms. Tour Champ -3.5u, British Masters -1.5u. Week -5.0u. New format running P/L: +17.3u.
Tour Championship — Gotterup T4 as a WIN Play: The Framework Question
| # | Player | Odds | Edge | Finish | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kim, Tom | $60 | WIN 1.0u | T14 | ✗ |
| 2 | MacIntyre, Robert | $51 | WIN 1.0u | 28th | ✗ |
| 3 | Gotterup, Chris | $29 | WIN 1.0u | T4 | ✗ |
| 4 | Fox, Ryan | $183 | E/W 0.5u | 26th | ✗ |
Scheffler won the Tour Championship at -16. Our three Best Bets all missed on the WIN market, but Gotterup's T4 is the result that demands attention — a Top 5 finish from a Best Bet that would have paid under E/W 1-5 terms but lost as WIN-only. Tour Championship P/L: -3.5 units. The Gotterup question: T4 at $29 — the place leg of an E/W bet would have returned ~$1.45 (0.25u x $5.80 place odds = +1.20u profit). Under our "Best Bets are WIN only" rule, it's -1.0u instead. This is the third time a short-priced Best Bet has placed inside the top 5 without winning (alongside Scheffler T2 at PLAYERS, Clark T5 Travelers). Whether short-priced Best Bets ($25-$40) should be E/W rather than WIN is a question for the season review.
British Masters — Dean Wins from the Watchlist
| # | Player | Odds | Edge | Finish | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ritchie, JC | $161 | E/W 0.5u | T55 | ✗ |
| 2 | Dantorp, Jens | $302 | E/W 0.5u | CUT | ✗ |
| 3 | Rodrigues, Daniel | $411 | E/W 0.5u | T9 | ✗ |
Joe Dean won from the Watchlist at The Belfry. Rodrigues finished T9 (narrowly outside 5-place terms, with dead-heat reductions applying). Our staked plays missed. British Masters P/L: -1.5 units.
