He has a successful track record, having called eight major winners since 2013 and scoring six PGA winners, including a remarkable 110-1 longshot victory at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2025. Kannon's analysis focuses on Justin Thomas, whom he recommends avoiding at +2000 odds. He argues that Thomas's recent performance, including a fourth-place finish at the PGA Championship, has inflated his odds. Kannon points out that Thomas struggles on courses similar to the U.S. Open, where he has missed the cut three times consecutively. Currently, Thomas ranks poorly in various metrics, including: 143rd in Greens in Regulation 130th in Scrambling Kannon's best bets include a significant longshot exceeding 60-1, who he believes is set to perform well.
