Early Observations

As expected, we’re seeing some heavy hitters taking center stage, with top-ranked players like Xander Schauffele (OWGR 2) and Collin Morikawa (OWGR 4) leading the charge. But this isn’t just about big names—picks like Jake Knapp (OWGR 85) and Chris Kirk (OWGR 52) highlight the depth and strategic thinking of our participants.

It’s also worth noting the balance between veterans and rising stars. Selections like Ludvig Aberg (OWGR 5) and Sahith Theegala (OWGR 13) demonstrate that some participants are banking on breakout performances from emerging talents.

What to Watch For

With The Sentry being an elevated event, every stroke carries significant weight—not just for the tournament but for the side bets tied to elevated events. The leaderboard is bound to see some early movers and shakers as participants look to set the tone for the season.

Fine Fund Watch

The Fine Fund is always a hot topic, and it almost saw its first contributions on Day 1 of the season. Toby narrowly avoided a fine by submitting his pick just in time, thanks to the reduced field and later tee-off times. It’s a close call that underscores the importance of timely submissions—don’t let the Fine Fund be your legacy this season!

Let’s hope this near-miss serves as a reminder for everyone to stay on top of their picks. Will the Fine Fund stay untouched, or will we see its first contributor sooner than expected? Time will tell!

The Road Ahead

As The Sentry unfolds, we’ll see who takes an early lead and sets the pace for Golf’s Greatest Gamble Volume 6. Keep an eye on the leaderboard, cheer on your picks, and let the season of strategy and surprises begin!

Here’s to another unforgettable year. Good luck to all participants—may your picks pay off in spades!
