PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2021 St. Jude Invitational
We have yet another no-cut PGA event this week, this time at TPC Southwind, but at least it’s a stacked field. Regardless of the event, PGA DFS is all about weighing the risk and reward of players in relation to their ownership projections. Often, you have to feel like you’re on an island when it […]

7 under $7,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2021 St. Jude Invitational
Most weeks, dipping below $7k in PGA DFS can be quite ugly, and this week at the St. Jude Invitational is no different. However, just like last week, all four rounds are guaranteed (as long as they don’t WD), so dipping into this range could be a key way to get access to an extra […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational
Golf is the only sport where the “arena” in which it is played changes so dramatically from one event to another. Consequently, each tournament provides its own unique challenge, which emphasizes certain areas of the game more than others. At this point, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the strokes gained statistics, if you aren’t already. […]

PGA DFS volatility report: WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational
After a week in Tokyo, we’re heading to TPC Southwind for the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational. We’ve seen this track on tour every year since 1989. It’s a Par 70 that plays just over 7,230 yards. The course features relatively small greens, 75 bunkers and 11 water hazards. Some changes were made to the […]

2021 Summer Games golf showdown picks: Round 3
We’re almost all the way through the second round of the Olympic men’s golf tournament. Xander Schauffele ($10,300) took the lead with an impressive 8-under round Friday before play was halted due to inclement weather. Barring a highly unlikely three-under over the last two holes for Hideki Matsuyama ($9,800), he’ll hold that lead heading into […]

2021 Summer Games golf showdown picks: Round 2
After a round of Olympic golf play in Tokyo, we have some surprises at the leaderboard. Sepp Straka ($7,200) and Jazz Janewattanond ($7,200) sit in first and second place. They both hit 16-of-18 greens in regulation in the opening round.  Collin Morikawa ($10,700) sits in T20 position after an opening-round 69. He hit two-thirds of […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for Summer Games men’s golf
I would love Olympic golf except for the fact that no course data means no course fit model. It feels a little bit like I’m flying in the dark, but here’s the thing — so is everybody else. So let’s take advantage of ownership inefficiencies born out of overconfidence.  Regardless of the event, golf DFS […]

Most weeks, dipping below $7k can be quite ugly, and this week at the Olympics is no different. However, with four rounds guaranteed for all players (no cut), dipping into this range could be a key way to get access to an extra stud.  DK scorers Kyle Murray touched on this aspect in his Murray Model […]

Core DFS plays for the 2021 Summer Games men’s golf
The Olympics is here and both main DFS sites has loads of good contests for us to play. This is a weird event from a tournament standpoint with only 59 players, and legitimately only 25 of those players have a chance to podium. We aren’t as concerned with “podiuming,” we want top 10 finishes from […]
