This week’s PGA Tour course preview takes us to Shadow Creek for the CJ Cup. Typically, this even is played in South Korea, but with the current circumstances, it will be held in Las Vegas at Shadow Creek. The PGA Tour has never played an event here, but we did see this course when “The […]

If you’re looking to win a large golf GPP on DraftKings or FanDuel, ownership plays a part. The Shriners Hospital for Children Open is no different, and it’s a key component to keep in mind. I will help you find the best PGA pivot and leverage options. If you go back and look at the […]

This week’s PGA Tour course preview takes us to TPC Summerlin for the Shriners Hospital for Children Open. The course plays as a par 71, 7,243 yards, with bentgrass greens. Outside of 2018, when weather had a great effect on the outcome, the winning score will most likely be right around 20 under par. Summerlin […]

If you’re looking to win a large golf GPP on DraftKings or FanDuel, ownership plays a part. Sanderson Farms Championship is no different, and it’s a key component to keep in mind. I will help you find the best PGA pivot and leverage options. If you go back and look at the lineups finishing in […]

This week’s course preview for the PGA Tour takes us to the Country Club of Jackson, located in Jackson, Miss., for the Sanderson Farms Championship. This is a familiar course, having hosted this tournament since 2014. We once again have strokes gained data to help us break down the course after having to use traditional […]

If you’re looking to win a large GPP on DraftKings or FanDuel, ownership plays a part. This week at the Puntacana Championship is no different, and it’s a key component to keep in mind. I will help you find the best PGA pivot and leverage options. If you go back and look at the lineups […]

This week’s PGA course preview will take us to the Corales Golf Course in the Dominican Republic for the Corales Puntacana Championship. This event has generally been an alternate event, taking place the week of the WGC Match Play, but this year it gets a boost to full tournament status. Unfortunately, this is another week […]

If you’re looking to win a large GPP on DraftKings or FanDuel, ownership plays a part. This week at the U.S. Open Championship is no different, and it’s a key component to keep in mind. If you go back and look at the lineups finishing in the top 10 of these huge GPPs, there are […]

This week’s course preview for the PGA U.S. Open takes us to Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, NY. Winged Foot is not a regular tour stop, but it isn’t unfamiliar, having hosted numerous major championships, the most recent in 2006 (Geoff Olgilvy winner). Olgilvy won his US Open at +5, and Winged Foot also […]

If you’re looking to win a large GPP in DFS, ownership is important. That’s true for any sport, golf included, and as we head into this week’s Safeway Open, it’s a key thing to keep in mind. If you go back and look at the lineups finishing in the top 10 of these huge GPPs, […]

This week’s PGA course preview takes us to California for the Safeway Open, being played at the Silverado Resort & Spa. This event will be the kickoff to the 2020-21 season and although it isn’t the deepest field, there are familiar names and some new golfers to get to know. Silverado Resort is a fairly […]

Pivots for the Tour Championship should be interesting. Typically, we can find low-owned DFS options with almost the identical salary as the golfer we’re fading. This week’s 30-man field will make this a more difficult task. This is a good week to not necessarily fully fade the chalk, but be underweight on the field for […]

For a moment in March, it was uncertain if another ball would be struck in 2020 on the PGA Tour, but we have made it to the Tour Championship. A week after an unknown (and amazing) course, the tour will be back at familiar track: The East Lake Golf Club. Looking through the data, East […]

We have gained some information for Round 2 showdown contests, and my projections have been loaded into the Saber Sim Optimizer. Leading up to the BMW Championship, we heard more and more talk spill out from the players about how demanding Olympia Fields NC would be, and we saw it today. The wind was up and […]

As we head into this week’s BMW Championship for golf’s second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs, it’s time to look at some DFS pivots for the tournament. Pivots. There’s no way to properly stress the importance of these in DFS, but in order to take down one of the massive GPPs offered each week, […]

The PGA Tour is heading to a relatively unknown course this week outside of Chicago: Olympia Fields North Course. The course has hosted a few majors but the most recent was a US Open in 2003, won by Jim Furyk. The course did host the 2015 US Amateur — won by Bryson DeChambeau — as […]

Pivots. There’s no way to properly stress the importance of these in DFS, but in order to take down one of the massive GPPs offered each week, ownership will play an important role.  This article is not necessarily an endorsement of a blind fade of high-owned golfers. You can diversify your lineups in multiple ways. […]

The PGA Tour will return to TPC Boston for the Northern Trust this week, the first tournament of the 2020 FedEx Cup Playoffs. TPC Boston has been the host of the Dell Technologies Championship, so it is not foreign to a majority of the field and we have plenty of historical stats to break down […]

When it comes to Showdown slates, I think Round 2 can be a great one to attack.  After Roun1, and only 18 holes, people let their eyes do too much of the work.  Many strange things can happen in one round, both good and bad, that shape a player’s score. That can be a bounce […]

The golf loop around Great Britain continues for the European Tour with a stop in City of Newport, Wales. The Celtic Classic will be played at The Celtic Manor Resort on the Twenty Ten Course, famously created to host the 2010 Ryder Cup (which Europe won 14.5-13.5). The venue is a unique setup; it has […]

The PGA Tour is packing up in California after the weekend’s PGA Championship for a cross country trip to Greensboro, N.C., to play the Wyndham Championship, the final event before the start of the FedEx Cup Playoff. The Wyndham Championship has been played at Sedgefield CC since 2008. Sedgefield CC is about as average as […]

Final round showdowns in golf DFS always get a little trickier with the finishing points now included. That should go the same for this weekend’s PGA Championship. There are a lot of young golfers near the top of the leaderboard and it will be interesting to see how the react to the pressure of having […]

The DraftKings Round 2 Showdown is always my favorite slate, as the public often overreacts to what they saw in Round 1. That’s not to say you need to avoid golfers who played well and cram in golfers that had poor first rounds, but you shouldn’t be writing off golfers after a bumpy start to […]

It has been a long wait, but we have finally arrived to the week of golf’s first major, the PGA Championship. Scheduled for May, the PGA Championship will still kick off major season at the original venue, TPC Harding Park, in San Francisco. Currently, according to the PGA Championship site, the course will play as […]

The Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel and Country Club (Par 72) hasn’t seen a European Tour event since 2002, when the winner was Darren Clarke. It was his third win at the venue in four years, having finished a far off fifth in 2001. Judging just based on scores alone, the course allows for birdies, with a win […]

The stars of golf return to the field this week for the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational, taking place in Memphis at TPC Southwind. This is only the second time the course will be hosting a WGC event. However, it was the long-time host of the St. Jude Classic.   Daniel Berger has won twice […]

As great as it is to have the PGA Tour rolling along, I’ve been yearning for the Euro Tour’s full return. We’ve had a few Challenge Tour warm-up tournaments, but this week finally brings us a fully sanctioned event: the British Masters. This particular course, Close House, was last played in 2017, with the winner […]

As it was three weeks ago, the PGA Tour is making another stop at one of the newest courses in rotation, TPC Twin Cities. Although it has seen action on other tours, this will be the second visit in as many years for the 3M Open. We only have one year of strokes gained data […]

The DraftKings Round 2 Showdown is always my favorite slate, as the public often overreacts to what they saw in Round 1. That’s not to say you need to avoid golfers who played well and cram in golfers that had poor first rounds, but you shouldn’t be writing off golfers after a bumpy start to […]

For the second week in a row, the PGA Tour will be teeing it up at Muirfield Village Golf Club, this time for the Memorial Tournament. If you didn’t get a chance to read my course preview last week, be sure to check it out, because I’ll be going over a few different aspects of […]

On Thursday, the PGA tour moves to a familiar setting: the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio.  The one-off, Workday Charity Open, will be the first of back-to-back tournaments played at Muirfield Village Golf Club, but it may look slightly different than a typical Memorial event. According to GOLF.com’s Sean Zak, the PGA tour informed […]
