McGladrey Classic 2014 Betting Tips

The McGladrey Classic is a relatively new course to the PGA Tour. It only joined the PGA Tour in 2010. It’s a good course that takes place at the Sea Island Golf Club, Sea Island, Georgia.

It’s got a 70 par, and the previous winners usually end up about 14-16 under. Health Slocum was the inaugural winner back in 2010 at -14. Ben Crane won the next yer, then Tommy Gainey won in 2012 with the highest score to date on the course at -16. Chris Kirk won last year with a -14.

We like this course because there’s always a lot of tight play at the end. It usually comes down to one stroke and it’s no surprise that we’ve already had a playoff at this course. It would not surprise us to see another one. The previous playoff was in 2011 where Ben Crane had a ridiculous last day to tie it up with Webb Simpson – who also had a great -4. Crane went -7 to take it to the playoff and we hope for another event like that.

McGladrey Classic Winner #1: Webb Simpson

Coming off a tied for 4th position in the Shriners, Simpson is at a nice price of 16/1.

He had a top 10 finish here last year, and is playing some really, really good golf at the moment. He is on form, and an on form Webb Simpson is good for a bet.
