Biltmore Championship Preview: The SECRET to Handicapping a New PGA TOUR Course

The Biltmore Championship Asheville is a BRAND NEW PGA TOUR event, and that creates a unique challenge for anyone trying to handicap the tournament.

In this Biltmore Championship preview, we break down everything we know about The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, the Jack Nicklaus-designed course that will host the inaugural event in Asheville, North Carolina. With limited course data available, we'll also look at how to make the best possible decisions when you're trying to handicap a course without a significant PGA TOUR history.

We'll dive into:

• What we know about The Cliffs at Walnut Cove
• Key characteristics of Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses
• The course characteristics that could matter most this week
• Strategies for handicapping a brand-new PGA TOUR venue
• Why different types of players are choosing to play the FedExCup Fall
• What the Fall schedule means for different categories of players
• A look at the Biltmore Championship field
• Justin Thomas and what makes him particularly interesting this week
• Jackson Koivun, who will also be competing before his Presidents Cup debut
• The players and statistical profiles I'm watching as more information becomes available

The FedExCup Fall is a completely different animal from the regular PGA TOUR season, and understanding WHY players are playing these events can be just as important as evaluating their games.

This is also the inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville, so there is no course history to lean on. That means we're going to have to get creative.
