A weak field, a birdie fest and the best putter wins is a real recipe for chaos for this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic. With needing to get to -20 under or more to push for a victory, every golfer will be pin seeking and hoping the putts fall their way which creates a ton of […]

   

   

The week after a major usually provides fireworks for longshots, as either the top players in the world opt for a week off or do their best to power through another event after a grueling week at a difficult course. The added variance and question marks for the elite give our value plays a lot of opportunities […]

 

 

The inauguration of this very piece was at last fall’s U.S. Open, where Will Zalatoris and Thomas Pieters were key golfers in GPP winning lineups at Winged Foot. With a lack of birdies at the toughest test in golf, finishing position is incredibly key, so having your value plays push for a top 20 is […]

A new event and a new course this week on the PGA Tour bring our favorite variance back to the table. In addition, we see one of the weaker fields yet this season as most golf eyes are on next week’s U.S. Open in California. So for our favorite grinders and value plays, this represents […]

Well, DraftKings has started a conundrum for the second week in a row with clear misprices near the bottom of the pricing.  Last week, Vincent Whaley at $6,200 was 10.85% in the Flop Shot and even was over 20% owned in single entry contests yet delivered with a top-20 finish. For the Memorial, we see […]

A PGA hangover the week after a major? Not for me. However, the extreme conditions last week at Kiawah could leave the top of the board exhausted as they come to a course for this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge with a completely different set-up than the PGA Championship. An accuracy-driven track where putting is needed […]

The PGA Tour’s second major of 2021 has arrived as Kiawah Island Resort hosts the PGA Championship. This course was last seen in 2012 when Rory McIlroy dominated the field to a tune of an 8-stroke victory. However, what is intriguing about that leaderboard was the international players who littered the top 10. Unfamiliar names […]

A new course for the Byron Nelson this week as we set our eyes upon the one and only TPC Craig Ranch! When a debut course pops up (especially in Texas!), I think it brings an added element of variance in play which should help our longshots out this week. Always remember, DFS golf is not won […]

   

   

   

The Wells Fargo Championship has been a tournament made for longshots over the last decade, with three different winners carrying 300/1 odds (or higher) for the week, which means it’s “all aboard” for our value plays. A lot of golfers in the $6Ks are riding a good amount of recent form and have the skill […]

   

   

We return to normality on the PGA Tour this week, with a 72-hole stroke play event as well as the written version of our favorite value plays for the Valspar Championship. Innisbrook is a golf course that takes driver out of play on many holes, and events of that nature tend to lead to greater […]
