There are two more PGA DFS slates after this week before the December break. Let’s finish in style. Most golfers are fighting for their 2024 playing status in one way or another with […]

The FedEx Fall has three more events to go, with many golfers still fighting for their 2024 playing status. Let’s finish in style starting with this week’s World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal, a Tiger Woods design. Core Targets J.J.

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Zozo Championship
The PGA Tour travels to Asia this week for the Zozo Championship in Japan. For DFS purposes, we need to note that it’s a limited field of just 78 golfers, and all of them will be guaranteed four rounds of action unless they withdraw. Does that mean we need to punt the last spot or […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open
It’s time to put on a funny hat and head to Vegas for this week’s Shriners Children’s Open. The host course is TPC Summerlin, which has hosted here for more than a decade. So there is plenty of history to lean on, but we also want to sift through the baseline and course-fit stats to […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship
The PGA Tour returns to action this week, and while many are focused on football, this is prime earning time for DFS golf. This week’s event is the Sanderson Farms Championship, at the Country Club of Jackson. The field is headlined by Ludvig Aberg who is working off his Ryder Cup hangover by staying true […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Ryder Cup
The United States will do battle with Europe, in Rome, at this week’s Ryder Cup. If you’ve read any previews for the event, you’re probably aware of Team USA’s poor record on foreign soil. Will it be more of the same or will the new era of U.S. team golf have something else to say […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Fortinet Championship
The DP World Tour has kept us busy over the last few weeks, but it’s great to get some golf in the States again. It’s a strange schedule spot with just this one event in Napa before a week off and then the Ryder Cup. Without much form to look at, I want to lean […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Tour Championship
The PGA Tour’s playoff finale is taking place this week in Atlanta with a small field of 30 golfers teeing it up at East Lake Golf Club for the Tour Championship. This event has unique scoring with golfers assigned starting strokes according to their FedEx Cup standings. For DFS, that plays a key role as […]

4 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 Tour Championship
PGA DFS is often won or lost under $8k. At the top of the price range, especially in strong fields, any player can win in any given week. This isn’t true below $8k — some of the cheaper players have much better distributions of potential outcomes than others. Our job is to identify them. This […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 BMW Championship
The PGA Tour heads to Chicago to take on Olympia Fields Country Club. We last saw the course at the 2020 BMW Championship. Only five golfers finished under-par that week as the wind whipped and the course was playing extremely firm and fast. We should expect softer conditions this week, but it should still be […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 BMW Championship
This week’s BMW Championship features a limited field of just 50 golfers. They are the top-50 golfers this season, though, so all are capable of contending. Combine that with stretched-out pricing from DraftKings, and there needs to be a lot of focus on the salary cellar. While I said anyone in the field is capable […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 BMW Championship
This week’s hot takes will once again feature our birdie rate over expectation metric, as it proved to be quite the cheat code last week. I cashed easily with Rory and Cam Davis as the only two guys who played well because everyone I used outperformed their real life performance in DraftKings points. PGA DFS […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship
Insert “Jim Mora playoffs” gif. Playoffs?? Hell yes! As unenthused as I typically am by no-cut events, we at least have the tools (like our birdie rate over expectation) to use it to our advantage.

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship
The playoffs start this week with a limited-field event taking place at TPC Southwind. There are just 70 golfers pegging it this week in Memphis and no-cut events always lead to more gamers gravitating to a stars-and-scrubs approach for DFS roster construction. It’s certainly tempting to take those salary savings at the bottom when […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 Wyndham Championship
One of my favorite yearly mini-Tour stops was at Sedgefield CC — the Dye course, not this one. The one for this week’s Wyndham Championship is a Donald Ross course (not a bad place, this Sedgefield CC). Does this week make me a bit nostalgic for the summers I spent on the road from one […]

The Wyndham Championship is the last event of the PGA Tour’s 2023 regular season. The FedEx Cup Playoffs begin next week in Memphis, which means three weeks of no-cut, small-field events.

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: The 2023 Wyndham Championship
I’m pumped for this week, and it has nothing to do with the course, or event, itself. Instead, it’s because we now have multiple measures of volatility, round-to-round and event-to-event. Let’s use Tony Finau and Cam Young as the example from last week: Cam is more volatile from one round to the next, but […]

The majors may be over for the PGA season, but there is still plenty of high-leverage golf to be played. With the FedEx Cup bubble moved from 120 down to 70 this year, a lot of golfers are now fighting for their spot in the playoffs, and some are fighting for their playing status. That […]
