See where the sportsbooks disagree with the Data Golf model
Data Golf puts every sportsbook's price on a golfer next to the fair odds from Data Golf's model, so the edge on each outright, matchup and 3-ball is a single number. Pick a tour, sort by edge, and expand any row to see every book quoting it. Powered by Data Golf's model, not ours.

How Data Golf works
One board per tour, one number per price
- 1
Pick a tour and a board
Choose the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, the PGA opposite-field event or LIV and other tours, then switch between the Outrights, Field, Leaderboard and Matchups tabs. Tour and tab live in the URL, so any board is linkable.
- 2
Compare the book to the model
Each row shows the best sportsbook price, the average across the books quoting it, and Data Golf's own fair-value line. EV % is the edge of the best book price against that model line.
- 3
Sort, filter and expand
Sort by best edge, best book price, average or model. Cap the odds range so longshots don't crowd the board, narrow to the markets you want, and expand any row to see every book's price.
What's on the boards
Four tabs, each scoped to the tour you pick
Outright markets
Winner, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Make Cut and First Round Leader, with the best book, the field average and the model line on every golfer. Which markets appear depends on the event and where the week stands.
Matchups and 3-balls
Tournament matchups, round matchups and 3-balls as cards, each side priced against the model with its own edge. The tie rule is spelled out on every card, because it changes what a price is worth.
Every pairing, even unpriced ones
Below the matchups, Data Golf's model odds to win every tee-time group, including the many that no sportsbook prices. Where the market has no opinion, this is the only one available.
The field before a ball is struck
Data Golf rank, world ranking, tee times and model odds to win, finish top 5, 10 or 20 and make the cut. When Data Golf's course-history model differs from its baseline, both win prices are shown.
Live leaderboard with win odds
Position, score, today and thru beside Data Golf's live win probability, with strokes-gained splits, driving and GIR once the stats arrive. Hole-by-hole scoring shows the morning and afternoon wave split.
A longshot filter that sticks
EV is a ratio, so a one-tick disagreement on a 200-1 shot prints as a huge edge. The board caps the best book price at +10000 by default, and the range you set is saved to your preferences.
Betting other sports? Positive EV covers them
Data Golf measures every golf price against a third-party model. For every other sport, the Positive EV board devigs the sportsbooks themselves to find a fair price and lists every line beating it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Data Golf model?
Data Golf is a third-party golf analytics provider whose predictive model publishes a fair-value probability for every golfer in every market. Locktopus shows that model line beside the sportsbook prices; it is a benchmark, not a bettable price.
How is the edge calculated?
EV % is the edge of the best available sportsbook price against Data Golf's model line for the same selection. The board sorts on it by default, and rows with no computable edge sit at the bottom.
Which tours and markets are covered?
The PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, the PGA opposite-field event and LIV and other tours. Outrights cover Winner, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Make Cut and First Round Leader; matchups and 3-balls are posted for the PGA, DP World and opposite-field tours.
How is Data Golf different from Positive EV?
Positive EV finds a fair price by devigging the sportsbooks' own two-sided markets and covers every sport. Data Golf is golf only and measures against an independent model's fair odds instead, so it can price one-sided markets like outrights where there is no other side to devig.
Can I click through to the sportsbook?
Not from this page yet. Data Golf's feed carries no deep links, so the book price is shown with its logo rather than as a link. Confirm the price at the book before you bet.
Which plan includes Data Golf?
Data Golf is part of the Pro plan and up. Signed-out visitors and Basic subscribers see a limited preview of each board.
Why is Data Golf marked beta?
Data Golf is new and its boards are still being refined, so it carries the same beta badge as in the app. The prices and model lines are live data, not placeholders.
