The Outlook

Koepka LOVES majors. Throughout his career, he’s made 17 of 19 cuts, including 12 top-25 finishes and seven top 10s.

He’s one of the best birdie makers on tour, averaging 16 per tournament over the past 75 weeks — the third-best mark in the field. Given where his game is right now and his success at these tournaments, a Koepka top-20 finish bet sounds great to me.
