The FedEx Cup Playoffs start this week and for the first time since
early in the season, I’m trying to climb back into positive money
territory!
The rules: each picker will get a simulated $200 to bet;
$100 of which will be on win bets and another $100 on top-5, top-
10, and top-20 bets only. The kicker this time is that the money
can only be spent on a maximum of three golfers in each
category. Picking winners has never been so difficult (except for
Parlay Kid).
Here are this week’s plays for THE NORTHERN TRUST:
