As usual in my Golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps to soften and slow the course, meaning it helps as much as it hurts. With wind there’s no helpful side, it’s all negative impact, and the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try and highlight the timeframe with the lightest winds, the time with the strongest winds, and to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can use then use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

AT&T Byron Nelson Weather Forecast
As I mentioned in the intro, when it comes to finding a usable and predictable edge for PGA, wind matters a lot more than rain. For this tournament, the wind is lightest early Thursday and late Sunday. Trying to avoid the peak wind is going to be tough, as it will come and go with rain showers and storms (which could cause a delay and throw off the timing of everything). I think finding a specific edge is tough this week, but would say there’s nothing wrong with taking the free square Thursday morning and crossing your fingers that Friday afternoon is manageable. Stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
