The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall returns this week in Mexico with the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas.
The field in Mexico has some big names, with Ryder Cuppers Ben Griffin and J.J. Spaun teeing it up alongside 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.
Despite the headliners, Subpar podcast co-hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz are looking to the PGA Tour’s youth movement for this week’s Fanatics Subpar bets of the week, starting with Johnny Keefer, who just finished No. 1 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list and will be a PGA Tour rookie next season. Keefer enters the WWT Championship ranked 53rd in the OWGR; a solid week at El Cardonal should boost him inside the top 50 and will help put him on the path to earning a Masters invite as a top-50 player at the end of the year.
Drew Stoltz sees a good week for Keefer coming in Mexico.
“I’m taking a guy who is an unproven commodity on the PGA Tour because he’s just now getting there,” Stoltz said. “He won the points list on the Korn Ferry Tour. He’s pushing top 50 in the world without having a PGA Tour card, which is crazy. I’m going to take him to top 20 at +220. He’s really good. Everyone on the Korn Ferry Tour points to him and says, ‘This is the guy.'”
Knost, meanwhile, is looking for Michael Brennan, who won the Bank of Utah Championship the last time out on a sponsor’s invite, to have another big week.
“I don’t know if it’s a one-hit wonder; I’ve hardly seen the man play,” Knost said. “But he won in his last start. It was on the PGA Tour. He got a sponsor’s exemption and he won. You can get Michael Brennan top 10 at +330. This place is wide open, like Black Desert. Michael Brennan smashes it. We’re talking 190 mph ball speed. Place should be perfect for him.”
