Golf Agent Pro nailed Kristoffer Reitan at +315 for the Truist Championship win. Here's how all our picks performed at Quail Hollow this week.

Kristoffer Reitan took down the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club with a closing 69 to finish at 15-under par, earning his first PGA Tour victory. Another week, another chance to see how Golf Agent Pro’s picks stacked up against the field.

This was a Sunday report week, which means our picks came after 54 holes of data from one of the Tour’s most demanding layouts. The Sunday reports have been on an absolute heater lately, and this week kept that streak alive with Reitan headlining a strong performance across the board.

This Week’s Model Results

Golf Agent Pro delivered five picks for the final round at Quail Hollow, and four of them cashed. Let me walk you through each one.

Kristoffer Reitan (+315) - Won the tournament at 15-under. This was our best call of the week, and I’ll dive deeper into this one below. Reitan posted rounds of 66-70-64-69 to claim his maiden Tour victory.

Alex Fitzpatrick (+198) - Finished solo 4th at 12-under. We highlighted Fitzpatrick in our Wednesday Truist Championship preview at +1550, noting his +2.01 strokes gained per round and proven ability in tough conditions. He delivered exactly what we projected, gaining a massive +1.98 strokes on approach for the week with a 75% GIR rate. That approach play was the story of his week.

Nicolai Højgaard - Tied for 2nd at 13-under. Højgaard’s +1.00 strokes gained on approach and +0.69 off the tee gave him the ball-striking foundation to contend all week. His 68.1% GIR rate kept him in scoring position throughout the final round.

Sungjae Im (+2800) - Tied for 5th at 11-under. Im’s +0.77 strokes gained around the green and elite 80% scrambling rate showed why he’s so dangerous on difficult tracks. When you’re hitting 67.9% of fairways like Im did this week, you give yourself chances.

Cameron Young (+200) - Tied for 10th at 9-under. This was the only miss in our Sunday picks, but Young still delivered a top-10 finish. We flagged Young in our Wednesday preview at +930 after his wins at the Cadillac Championship and Players Championship. His final round showed some rust with -0.57 strokes gained putting, but his +1.47 around the green kept him relevant. The leaderboard shows he tied for 10th, not a missed cut.

Four hits out of five picks on a Sunday report. That’s the kind of consistency that builds bankrolls.

The Golf Channel’s final round coverage captures the drama of Reitan’s closing stretch at Quail Hollow.

What stood out most was how our approach-focused picks dominated the leaderboard - Fitzpatrick, Højgaard, and Reitan all gained significant strokes on approach, which is exactly what Quail Hollow demands.

Best Call of the Week

Kristoffer Reitan at +315 was the standout winner this week. This was a Sunday report pick, meaning we had 54 holes of live tournament data showing exactly how players were handling Quail Hollow’s demands.

Reitan’s week-long performance told a complete story. He gained +3.12 strokes overall with balanced excellence across all categories: +0.73 off the tee, +0.92 on approach, +0.17 around the green, and a critical +1.30 putting. That 70.8% GIR rate gave him consistent looks at birdie, and his 67.6% scrambling kept mistakes from derailing rounds.

The Sunday report identified Reitan’s consistency as the key factor. While others were posting volatile rounds, Reitan stayed steady with 66-70-64-69. No blowup holes, no wasted opportunities. Just four rounds of quality golf on a course that punishes mistakes.

A $100 bet at +315 returned $315 in profit. Multiply that across the season and you start to understand why understanding strokes gained metrics matters for identifying tournament winners. Picks like these drop every week in Golf Agent Pro.

The ROI line shows steady growth with occasional massive spikes when longshot value plays hit. The hit rate chart demonstrates something more important than just picking winners - it shows the ability to consistently identify players who will contend.

That 88% winner pick rate across 17 tournaments is the headline number, but I want you to notice the 44% top-10 rate. Nearly half of all picks are finishing in the top 10. That’s not luck.

The Track Record

Let’s talk cumulative numbers because this is where the real story lives. Across 17 tournaments analyzed this season, Golf Agent Pro has made picks that would have generated $44,711 in total cumulative payout on $100 standard bets.

The winner pick rate of 88% means that in 15 of 17 tournaments where a winner was declared, Golf Agent Pro identified the eventual champion before the final round. Only the Valero Texas Open and Zurich Classic of New Orleans fell outside that range.

The 28% top-5 rate and 44% top-10 rate show consistency beyond just winner picking. When you’re getting nearly one in three picks to finish top-5, you’re capturing value across multiple betting markets (top-5, top-10, top-20 finishes).

These aren’t hypothetical backtested numbers. These are picks that were available in real-time before each round. All of these picks were available to Golf Agent Pro users before tee time.

The PGA Tour’s official highlights showcase the key moments from Sunday’s final round at Quail Hollow.

Reitan’s steady play down the stretch showed why Sunday reports have such a high success rate - we’re identifying players with proven form under tournament pressure.

Report Type Breakdown

Golf Agent Pro generates three types of reports throughout each tournament week: Wednesday previews before the event starts, Saturday reports after 36 holes, and Sunday reports after 54 holes. The performance varies significantly based on how much live tournament data we have.

Wednesday reports show a 41% winner identification rate with a 25% top-10 rate. These are pre-tournament picks based on course fit, recent form, and historical data. They’re valuable for getting position on players before odds shorten.

Saturday reports jump to 65% winner identification and 63% top-10 rate. After 36 holes, we know which players are handling course conditions, which skill sets are separating the field, and who’s showing form under pressure.

Sunday reports reach 82% winner identification with 73% top-10 rate. This week’s Truist Championship weekend betting breakdown picks came from a Sunday report, which explains the 4-out-of-5 hit rate. With 54 holes of live data, we’re essentially identifying which players in contention have the statistical profile to close.

The Saturday report has identified a winner in 65% of tournaments. That’s the sweet spot for bettors who want significant live data but can still find plus-money on contenders. Get Saturday picks in Golf Agent Pro.
