Genesis Championship Winner
Casey Jarvis has the strongest immediate position after the first round, but this is still a long golf tournament with plenty of volatility. The 37% Yes price looks broadly reasonable, with only a small upward adjustment warranted from the solo lead and recent form.
Analysis
Jarvis’s opening 65 gives him a legitimate lead, and his season form supports that he can convert it. Still, golf leader probabilities drop quickly with three rounds left, so the market’s Yes price should not move far from the current level.
The main risk is the depth of the field: Shin is only one back, and several established players remain in range. Chacarra’s bad start reduces one rival, but it does not eliminate the larger uncertainty of a four-round event.
Arguments
For
- Jarvis owns the only solo lead after round one.
- His two DP World Tour wins show he can finish tournaments.
Against
- Only one round is complete, leaving substantial variance.
- Shin and the broader chasing pack are still within striking distance.
Key drivers
- Jarvis leads after round one
- Three rounds remain for the field to catch him
Risk factors
- One-stroke leads are fragile in golf
- Multiple capable challengers are close behind
Scenarios
Best case
Jarvis keeps scoring well and wins from the first-round lead.
Most likely
Jarvis remains a top contender, but the lead gets tested repeatedly.
Worst case
He fades over the weekend and one of the chasers overtakes him.

US recession by end of 2026?
AI22%MKT8%Edge+14UndervaluedI think the market is underpricing recession risk somewhat, but the contract’s resolution rules make a year-end Yes still relatively unlikely. The most plausible path is a softening economy that does not quite produce two consecutive negative GDP quarters or an NBER announcement by the Q4 advance estimate.

"Clayface" Opening Weekend Box Office
AI52%MKT46%Edge+6UndervaluedClayface looks like a close call, but the balance of tracking and competitive pressure makes a sub-22 million opening slightly more likely than not. I would price the Yes side a bit above 50%, with the distribution still centered near the threshold.

How high will US unemployment go in 2026?
AI11%MKT6%Edge+5UndervaluedThe labor market is weakening, but not yet in a pattern that usually produces a jump to 5.0% unemployment within the remaining 2026 reports. I assign a modestly higher chance than the market suggests, but still a low probability overall.
