For my first 4 picks, I am going to go with the Howell, Na Els and Scott. I am skipping Warren because I needed one player removed to be able to pick Stricker for my 5th pick. Warren seems to be the weakest out of the top 5 players in the CLi rankings.
Below are my 5 picks for the Sony Open in Hawaii :

Hey John!
ReplyDeleteQ for ya. Does the CLi take into account weather and conditions at all? If not, would you personally change any of your picks to account for this weekends weather?
Nice to see you back!

Harvey, thanks for the post and the question; sorry for the delay in responding.
ReplyDeleteThe CLi does not take into consideration the current weather conditions. However, it does take into account weather indirectly if the tournament is played in the same time of the year each year and you have a high % on past instances of the tournament. Meaning, that if the weather in this instance is similar to past instances of the tournament, then it would take into account the weather. However, it does not take into account directly for the current weather....something that would be good to add to the configuration of the CLi in the future.
