There are two distinct waves for the first two days at these signature events, but the wind will be nearly identical for the first two day, so I don't expect there to be a wave advantage. Just play your guys!

Weather for the @cadillac_champ: No rain lately and none in the forecast until Sunday, should be firm and fast until then. Highs in the 80s with mostly sunny skies. Wind on Thursday and Friday start light and build to 10 mph by the end of the day. Saturday could be gusty with winds 15-20 mph before coming back down on Sunday.

I like giving an edge to the PM/AM wave. They play four-ball on Thursday, which has historically been the day to go low. Since the PM wave will get a few hours without the gusts, they'll really be able to crank up the scoring and have an advantage overall.

Weather for the @Zurich_Classic: No rain since Sunday but there is a chance for rain everyday of the tournament, so it may soften up. Highs in the 80s with mostly cloudy skies. Winds on Thursday 5-10 mph with slightly stronger gusts, except for a few hours midday when the gusts subside. Friday winds 5-10 mph with gusts at 18 mph in the morning that drop to 10 mph in the afternoon.

Taking the week off from the Picks Challenge with @Kapta1NKahl: Nik made a big move picking Matt Fitzpatrick to win, and cut my lead to three. Here is the scorecard for the RBC Heritage: @glzisk picks: Winner: Scottie Scheffler ❌ Favorite Play: Sepp Straka ❌ Mad Scientist Play: Ricky Castillo ❌ Chalk to Avoid: Cameron Young ❌ Most Likely to Piss in the Corn Flakes: Collin Morikawa✅ FOMO: Sahith Theegala ✅ Favorite Masters Bounce Back: Daniel Berger ❌ @Kapta1NKahl’s picks: Winner: Matt Fitzpatrick ✅ Favorite Play: Sudarshan Yellamaraju ❌ Mad Scientist Play: David Lipsky ❌ Chalk to Avoid: Ludvig Aberg ❌ Most Likely to Piss in the Corn Flakes: Akshay Bhatia✅ FOMO: J.T.

@RobBoltonGolf @Zurich_Classic Do you know if the cutline is still top 33 and ties?

Field of 148 → @Zurich_Classic • 74 two-man teams (originally reserved for 72 teams but Brooks Koepka is committed) • No open qualifier NOTE: If there are any early WDs, replacements are determined by who WDs and when. Link to field: pgatour.com/tournaments/20…

There is a brief window of tee times from 10:30 to 11:30 on Thursday that could avoid the worst of the gusts. I'd give an edge to anybody with these tee times as a tiebreaker on tough calls, but I think we just play our guys this week.

Saturday winds starts in the single digits but builds to 10-15 mph late in the day and they stay there through Sunday. There are waves in these small-field events, but I don't see a wave advantage forming; almost everybody will have to deal with gusts on Thurs and enjoy light winds on Friday.

Weather for the @RBC_Heritage: No rain lately and none in the forecast, should be firm and fast, especially the greens which were replaced since the last time. Highs in the 70s with a mix of sun and clouds. Sustained winds on Thursday 5-10 mph with periods 15-20 mph gusts at the beginning and end of the day. Friday winds under 7 mph all day.
