PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: Fortinet Championship
Golf is the only sport in which the “arena” in which the game is played changes dramatically from one event to another. Consequently, each tournament — like this week’s Fortinet Championship — provides its own unique challenge, which emphasizes certain areas of the game more than others. At this point, you’ll want to familiarize yourself […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2022 Fortinet Championship
Every week, like at this week’s Fortinet Championship, a crucial part of success in PGA DFS GPPs will be hitting on lower-rostered/lower-salary golfers. Golf is a unique DFS sport in that all the golfers have the same opportunity to score. There are no starters, bench players, role players, third-down backs, etc. The golfer who is […]

2022 Tour Championship Round 3 Showdown Picks and Strategy
Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown is where things start to get tricky in terms of balancing a player’s play through two rounds with their baseline talent level and expectation coming into the event. We don’t want to overweight just two rounds of golf, but we also can’t ignore their current form or comfort level with […]

2022 Tour Championship Round 2 Showdown Picks and Strategy
Scottie Scheffler has opened up a commanding five-stroke lead as we head into the second round of the Tour Championship. The leaderboard behind Scheffler is bunched up, with a dozen other golfers at 6-under or better. Those scores include the starting strokes for this format, though, and that’s not exactly what we’re interested in. Matt […]

2022 Tour Championship Round 1 Showdown Picks and Strategy
We’ve reached the finale of the PGA Tour season as the last 30 golfers standing tee off for the Tour Championship Thursday. East Lake is a par-70 course that plays right around 7,300 yards. It’s right outside of Atlanta. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that there won’t be any wave advantage because, well, there […]

PGA PrizePicks for the Tour Championship
PrizePicks offers a different way to play fantasy sports than simply building a lineup of different golfers on a salary. There are different categories of props and matchups, which are not often offered anywhere else. I’m going to go through a few plays of mine for the Tour Championship.   PrizePicks has birdie matchups, fairways […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 Tour Championship

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. […]
