The accuracy number for these picks is 39. The average is 139. (An accuracy number of 1000 would indicate a perfect set of predictions from first place through 16th.)

Players are listed in order starting with the top pick to win the event. The Finish Estimate reflects each player’s Hawley Rating, fit for the course, and recent performance in the event. Observed Odds is the frequency that a player actually wins the event, given the listed Finish Estimate and its margin behind the favorite. This differs from betting odds, which reflect take-out by the sports book and sentiment of the public.

A Look at the Arnold Palmer Invitational

March 5, 2019 Thomas Hawley Narrative

Top player in the world this year? That’s easy.

Hint: It’s not Justin Thomas, no. 1 in the Hawley Ratings. It’s not Justin Rose, no. 1 in the Official World Golf Ratings. It’s not Xander Schauffele, no. 1 on the 2018-’19 PGA Tour money list and FedEx Cup points list. It’s not Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, or Schauffele, i.e. a player with two victories on the PGA and/ or Euro Tour this season. You probably could guess that it’s not Gary Woodland, even though he is the leader in top-10 finishes on the Tour (six).

Measuring by average rating in all 2019 events, it’s Rory McIlroy. McIlroy by a mile.

McIlroy has four appearances in 2019 – the Champions and Farmers in January, the Genesis and WGC Mexico in February. His finishes, in that order, have been fourth, fifth, fourth, and second. If you take the average Hawley Rating for those events, it’s 2709, with Thomas second at 2146. If you take the median Read more
