📖 Step 1 — the read

📋 THE OPEN PLAYBOOK Featured

The stat that wins Birkdale, all 144 golfers ranked by course fit, stud/mid/value tiers, the Cash Core, smart GPP fades, the Albatross breakdown & a plan for every real contest.

📋 Slate Cheat Sheet

One-look auto-tiered board — studs/mid/value/darts, top value, leverage flags & chalk traps.

🧠 Step 2 — the equity

🏆 Tournament Sim + 🚀 Take-Off Board New

We play Royal Birkdale 10,000 times: real win/top-5/top-20 equity for every golfer — and the low-owned contrarian picks whose equity blows past their ownership.

💥 Boom/Bust Board — all 144

Floors, medians, ceilings, boom & bust scores with a profile for every golfer — cash anchors vs GPP darts.

🛠️ Step 3 — the build

🎛️ Optimizer v2 — CUSTOM MODEL New

YOUR model: ceiling / course-fit / leverage sliders + randomness dial, salary floor & ownership caps — then every lineup Monte-Carlo simmed vs your REAL contest. Cash / SE / 5 / 20 / 150-max.
