SDC Championship Power Ratings

Thomas Hawley 0 comment

The DP World Tour returns to South Africa to a new location for a new event this week. For the second of three straight events in Africa, it is the SDC (Skills Development Corporation) Championship at St Francis Links in the Eastern Cape, a few hundred yards from the ocean. With a $1.5 million purse, the field is not great, featuring only four of the Hawley Ratings top 200. We’ll go with Jordan Smith, a 30-year-old Englishman. He had three top-10s in the second half of 2022 and has made the top 20 in the Singapore, Dubai Desert, and Hero Cup events thus far in 2023. Zander Lombard comes in playing well with three straight in the top 20, including the runner-up finish at Ras al Khaimah. Julien Brun was in the top 10 last week in Kenya and in the top 20 at Singapore a month earlier.

Mar. 20, 20203. The accuracy number for these picks is 147. The average is 163. (An accuracy number of 1000 would indicate a perfect set of picks from first place through 16th.)

Players are listed in order of preference. The Power Number reflects the player’s Hawley Rating, fit for the course, past performance in this event, and recent performance in tour events. Observed Odds is the frequency that a player actually wins the event, given the listed Power Number and its margin behind the favorite. This differs from betting odds, which reflect take-out by the sports book and sentiment of the public. Course fit reflects the player’s statistical profile in relationship to the statistical profile of players who have been successful on this course in recent events.
