From the author of the wildly popular baseball betting memoir Trading Bases, comes a new data-driven book -- this time focused on the PGA Tour. Merging the logic of baseball's sabermetric community with the newly-created tools available to golf analysts, Joe Peta takes readers into the world of golf analytics highlighted by an entirely new way to evaluate and enjoy golf's most popular tournament, the Masters.Written in the same familiar and conversational tone which marked his last book, Peta's explanations of golf's new data frontier will interest both casual and serious fans of the PGA Tour. For those ESPN.com readers familiar with his uncanny ability to accurately predict baseball outcomes, Peta doesn't disappoint. In addition to a never-before-seen analysis of last year's event, his prediction for the 2019 tournament is included as well.Sure to appeal to sports bettors, the data analytics crowd and, of course, golf fans of all stripes who look forward each year to the CBS telecast of the Masters, Joe Peta's Preview of the 2019 Masters is a worthy follow-up to his best-selling debut effort.
