5 smart bets for the Zozo Championship, according to a professional gambler
Erick Lindgren is a star of the professional poker circuit, with more than $10 million in career earnings. But he has proven to be a shark at golf wagering, too. Over a torrid stretch of making PGA Tour picks for GOLF.com last summer and fall, Lindgren picked five outright winners, among other spot-on picks. That sparkling track record inspired us to re-up with Lindgren as our gambling guru for the 2021-22 campaign.
The ground rules are the same as they were last season: Every week we’re giving Lindgren a $1,000 gambling budget (just play money!). In return, he’s giving us — well, you — his five best bets for that week’s event. Here’s Lindgren’s play list for the Zozo Championship, which kicks off Thursday at Accordia Golf Narashino CC, in Chiba, Japan. If you want to get your own wagers in under the wire, mind the time difference! Chiba is 11 hours ahead of EST.
