·1 hr 17 min·5 clips

Caves Valley has been rebuilt into a 7,600-yard par 70 with only two par fives and water on seven holes.

1. Golf Betting System Podcast episode 367 previews the 2025 BMW Championship and Danish Golf Championship with Steve Bamford, Barry O'Hanrahan, and Paul Williams. 2. Steve Bamford hosts the show, while Barry O'Hanrahan and Paul Williams bring the betting and stats angle that the podcast uses each week. 3. The episode asks which golfers fit Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland and which players can still force their way into Ryder Cup and FedExCup positions. 4. Paul revisits Grant Forrest’s 60-1 win at the Scottish Championship at Trump International and links it to the value of reading course fit correctly. 5. The hosts say Trump International played like a real test, with rough that made missed fairways hard to recover from and a weekend score of 23 under that surprised them. 6. They discuss Marco Penge and Raiton as players who can handle both links golf and tougher setups, not just easy-scoring layouts. 7. The Ryder Cup conversation covers Team USA’s top six, with Scottie Scheffler, Spaun, and Xander Schauffele already qualified and several others still chasing places. 8. On the European side, they list Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton, and Sepp Straka as the current top six. 9. They note that Matt Wallace, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rasmus Højgaard, Ludwig Åberg, Viktor Hovland, and Thomas Detry are part of the chasing pack for Luke Donald’s final choices. 10. The BMW Championship cut matters because the top 50 lock up next year’s PGA Tour signature events, which changes the value of finishing inside the field this week. 11. Steve says the Caves Valley rebuild changed the course from par 72 to par 70, extended it to about 7,600 yards, and added water hazards to seven holes. 12. He also says the fairways are still wide, around 35 to 40 yards on average, which leaves drivers a little more room than TPC Southwind did last week. 13. The rough is described as tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial grass, cut to about three inches, which should punish misses off the tee. 14. Steve expects a winning score in the high teens, around 17, 18, or 19 under par, because the field only gets eight looks at par fives instead of 16. 15. The betting model note is that Scottie Scheffler rates 111 points on long PGA Tour courses in the predictor, far ahead of Rory McIlroy at 64 and Xander at 56. 16. Steve points out that Scheffler finished 22nd here in 2021 after rounds of 73, 66, 68, and 67, which makes him hard to dismiss on a long course. 17. The tone is analytical and conversational, with the three hosts trading course history, ranking math, and betting angles rather than reading formal notes. 18. The format mixes preview analysis, leaderboard updates, Ryder Cup selection talk, and listener banter about prices, models, and past course results. 19. Listeners who follow golf betting, Ryder Cup selection, and PGA Tour data. 20. Listeners who want only a quick tournament pick without ranking or course detail.
