A fog delay hampered the wind splits on day one of the Fortinet Championship but even with a delayed start, the morning wave saw favorable conditions.    Let’s see how the weather looks for day two:    There are some heavy gusts possible in the afternoon. We can’t rule out another morning fog delay but […]

The PGA Tour is back in action this week as the new season kicks off in Napa. Let’s take a look at the DFS showdown slate for the first round of the Fortinet Championship Thursday.   As we always do with all showdown slates, let’s take a look at the weather.  The morning looks a bit […]

The PGA Tour season kicks off this week in Napa on a familiar layout, the North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa.  The field includes a lot of fresh faces but only a few look like worthwhile options. Let’s dive into the names that are pinging my radar this week.    Core Targets Cam Davis […]

A fresh PGA TOUR season kicks off this week in Napa. The length of the offseason varies by player, as some didn’t make the Playoffs, some had to fight in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, while some stayed busy overseas.   It’s great to have a full-field PGA TOUR event back on the calendar, so […]

With the PGA Tour resting another week, the spotlight is squarely on the DP World Tour’s flagship event this week at Wentworth Club. It’s the BMW PGA Championship which attracts the strongest field, year after year, of any DP World Tour event.  With a strong field and the prize pools juiced on DraftKings, I had […]

The PGA Tour is taking a breather before kicking off a new season. That gives LIV Golf a prime slot on the schedule this week as they head to the Boston area for the fourth LIV Golf event. For DFS, that means three showdown contests, which begin Friday.    Most weeks I start with a […]

The PGA season comes to an end this week at East Lake in Atlanta. The field for the Tour Championship is small, at just 30 golfers to start the week, and Will Zalatoris has withdrawn to make it just 29 golfers teeing it up at the season finale.    For DFS purposes I would put an […]

The PGA TOUR season comes to an end this week at the TOUR Championship. There is lots of big golf news ready to drop in the next week or two, but we are still focused on the DFS element this week in Atlanta.   Course Notes – East Lake Off the Tee: The course is extremely […]

We saw a wide range of scores on day one at the BMW Championship. Wilmington Country Club proved to be a tough test but also yielded some low scores for those piping drivers in the fairway.         Let’s take a look at the weather for Friday:      The wind will shift directions […]

The FedExCup Playoffs continue on the PGA Tour this week at Wilmington Country Club. It’s a new course, so there’s no history to lean on.    The scorecard catches your eye with length, a par 71 that stretches out past 7,500 yards. However, all three par 5s are “basically not reachable” according to Will Zalatoris. […]

The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs kick on this week in Delaware as a limited field of 68 golfers get ready for the BMW Championship for Wilmington Country Club.    The course is making its debut on the pro stage so there is no history to lean on. Of course, we can use some split […]

The FedEx Cup Playoffs continue this week as they head to the Philadelphia area for the BMW Championship. The course, Wilmington Country Club, is making its debut on the PGA TOUR level, so there isn’t much course information to nerd out on this week. It’s a good week to lean almost entirely on baseline stats, […]

We’re talking about playoffs this week as the PGA Tour heads to Memphis to take on TPC Southwind for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.  The field is limited to just 121 golfers to start the week with the top 65 and ties making it through the cutline. That should result in a relatively high percentage […]

The FedExCup Playoffs kick off this week at the St. Jude Championship in Memphis. It may be a new slot on the schedule, but it’s a course we know very well, TPC Southwind. With FedEx headquartered in Memphis, this is going to be an area the TOUR makes sure to include in the schedule every […]

It was a calm opening day at Sedgefield Country Club but some tough pin positions kept the scoring reasonable.  It should be very similar on day two, at least weather-wise.         Once again, we see nothing forecasted over 12 MPH, even the gusts. It’s another day where targeting either wave is fine. Looking […]

The Wyndham Championship will once again play the role of hosting the regular season finale this week in Greensboro, N.C.  Let’s jump in and talk about the opening round as we build our showdown lineups for DraftKings or FanDuel.    There is just not much wind at all. Whether you look at Windy or Windfinder, […]

The PGA Tour season is coming to an end this week at the Wyndham Championship. Don’t worry, the playoffs kickoff next week, and we know there is no true offseason in golf.  The host course this week is Sedgefield Country Club which has hosted here since 2008. It’s a boring par 70 that caters to […]

Another PGA TOUR campaign is coming to a close, as they put a cap on the regular season this week at the Wyndham Championship. The host course is Sedgefield Country Club, a classical Donald Ross design that has been hosting this event since the 2008 edition. Let’s dive in and dissect the course in a […]

Detroit Golf Club returns to host this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic. As the name suggests, we are in Detroit this week, hanging around the Midwest one more week before ending the PGA Tour’s regular season at the Wyndham Championship.    This should be a fun week for DFS, because the course creates a lot of […]

3M Open Round 2 Showdown Picks and Strategy The wind (and wind direction) played a big role in round one as TPC Twin Cities played as tough as we’ve ever seen it. Will that continue on day two?        The wind has all but disappeared on day two so we should see more […]

Based on stereotypes, the wind was supposed to whip last week in Scotland, but it didn’t show up too much. Will that wind show up a week later as we head to the Midwest?    Let’s check out the wind forecast for Day 1:  This forecast doesn’t show any extreme gaps of windless golf but […]

The weather cooperated as expected on Day 1 of this year’s Scottish Open. Any non-Scottie Scheffler DFS lineups likely cashed if you gave the projections a hard look and avoided the afternoon wave.    Will there be another weather wave to target Friday?  This looks like a full day of what we just saw in […]

Heading across the pond this week, weather was to be expected, and Scotland is living up to its reputation.    Let’s check out the wind forecast for Day 1:  There is an obvious draw bias here, with the early starters getting sub-10 MPH winds for much of their round, while the afternoon wave will get […]

After two days of action in Portland we have Dustin Johnson and Carlos Ortiz tied at the top.  With Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen, and Patrick Reed also lurking, it’s starting to look like the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.  When it comes to consistency rates on the West Coast, Carlos Ortiz ranks sixth in […]

As we expected to see, windy conditions muted the scoring environment a little on Thursday, except for Poston who ran wild. The field scoring average sat around even par for most of the day and approached half a stroke over par, by round’s end.  Let’s start with the weather for round two in order to […]
