Johnny and Timm are back with a Wednesday episode of From the Rough Golf Podcast to preview The American Express in the California desert.

Korn Ferry Tour veteran and tournament winner Curtis Thompson joins the show for a quick recap of Chris Gutterup’s Sony Open win, and a discussion of all thngs PGA Tour.

Then a full betting breakdown: course rotation, scoring expectations, key stats (birdie-or-better, wedges 100–150, par-3 scoring), and my favorite outright and placement plays—plus a few longshots that can absolutely spike in a 25-under shootout.

If you’re building a betting card, looking for value behind Scottie Scheffler, or just want a clean framework for picking birdie-makers, you’re in the right spot.
