Tommy Fleetwood over Xander Schauffele

• The raw disagreement is +13.0 pts: our 60.4% against the market’s 47.4% with the juice removed
• The edge survives the blend into the market: -1.8% expected value a unit at +105
• It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

A big raw disagreement is not automatically a bet. The market gets a vote: after our number is blended into the devigged consensus and charged for doubt, what is left has to carry a full unit. Here it did not, so the pick published as a No Play and is graded for calibration only.

Published and graded, never staked.

revision 18, rank 5 of 564 priced sides this week; sealed at caesars, the best major book (major books only, 2026-08-02); consensus of 5 books

The read as sealed, written before the gun and never edited after.

• The market holds the other side at 52.6%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
• Break-even at +105 is 48.8%; our cushion past it is +11.6 pts
• It settles over the full tournament; a missed cut ends it early and variance runs all four days

Edges this size lose often. The record, not any one pick, is the product.
