·24 min·1 clip

Only Scottie Scheffler and Cam Young match the field's incoming spike pattern from the last 10 Bay Hill winners.

1. Golf Gambling Podcast Ep. 565 centers on the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. 2. Hosts Dom and Mike lead the conversation, and the episode runs as their weekly betting breakdown for the PGA Tour. 3. The episode asks which players fit Bay Hill's long, firm, difficult setup before the odds settle. 4. Bay Hill is described as a brutal test with long rough, fast greens, and a layout that rewards complete games. 5. The hosts say the forecast looks fairly dry, with only spotty rain on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. 6. Driving distance gets emphasized as a key variable, and seven of the last nine winners are said to have spiked in it before the week. 7. Mike also points to proximity ranges from 50 to 125 yards and 100 to 125 yards as useful lead-in stats. 8. The top of the board features Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Tommy Fleetwood at sub-20-to-1 prices on DraftKings. 9. Dom says Scottie and Rory present the best chance yet for a Sunday duel. 10. They compare that read with recent form, including Scottie's T11 last year at Bay Hill and Rory's current model ranking. 11. The middle tier starts with Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland, Ben Griffin, Sam Burns, and Chris Gotterup. 12. Cam Young stands out because the hosts say he and Scottie Scheffler are the only two players in the field matching the last 10 winners' incoming spike pattern. 13. Chris Gotterup is framed as mispriced versus Jake Knapp, especially because he already has two wins and likes Florida conditions. 14. Sam Burns draws attention because the hosts describe him as volatile but powerful off the tee and strong on Bermuda greens. 15. Justin Thomas comes up as a comeback story, but the hosts say his own comments suggested a goal of making the cut rather than winning. 16. Ryan Gerard, Sepp Straka, Jonathan Vegas, and Michael Thorbjornsen are all discussed as deeper bets with specific course-fit reasons. 17. The tone is conversational and analytical, with both hosts reacting to odds movement and comparing model notes. 18. The format is a live back-and-forth betting show with course-fit stats, current prices, and one-and-done picks. 19. Listeners who bet golf outrights and positional markets will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a story-driven episode or non-golf discussion should skip it.

As heard by us

A brisk Bay Hill betting board built around course fit, distance, and outright value.

The episode stays locked on Bay Hill and the betting board at a course that asks for a clean fit. It keeps returning to distance, approach play, and where the outrights may still hold value, with Cam Young, Hideki, and a few midrange options getting the most attention.
