The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 WM Phoenix Open
With multi-course PGA events out of the way, it’s time to party. What better way to celebrate than the Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. Last week was a mess, weather-wise, but we see much more predictable weather this week, as you’d expect. There is a hint of wind before the cut but nothing extreme. […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 WM Phoenix Open
How fitting — in the week that the WM Phoenix Open overlaps with the Super Bowl, we unveil our reverse steam analysis in PGA. For those unfamiliar, it’s the analysis that we used in NFL DFS to make this season my best one yet, and certainly the most fun. More on this in the first […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: 2023 WM Phoenix Open
The WM Phoenix Open has everything — electric crowds, one of the strongest fields we’ve ever seen, and an incredibly reliable course fit model that plays into our edge here at FTN. Having this tournament to look forward to is about all that’s keeping my Super Bowl nerves in check (go Birds). Once again, […]

Course Notes and Quotes: TPC Scottsdale
The Greenest Show on Grass takes place this week in Phoenix. It’s not the Super Bowl I’m talking about, but the WM Phoenix Open. What a wild week for the city, as the Phoenix Open is the largest attended sporting event outside of the Olympics, and the Super Bowl attracts a few viewers, itself. […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Every week — like at this week’s Farmers Insurance Open — 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 […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
This week’s PGA event presents some interesting challenges in terms of projecting output. The Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a full field (156 golfers) with a 54-hole cutline. However, the cut rules are Low 60 and ties which makes it the toughest cut to make in terms of raw percentages (60 divided by 156 is just […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Every now and then, the Course Fit Model gives us a straightforward path to the holy grail of DFS plays — players who project the best and are contrarian. This week at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is one such example, as the field disregards the importance of distance off the tee. Regardless of the event, PGA […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

It’s the Crosby Clambake this week on the California coast, or as the suits call it these days, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Sticking with the recent theme, we’ll see a trio of courses used this week before a 54-hole cut of just Low 60 and ties. The result is one of the lowest […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 American Express
The PGA Tour heads to the Coachella Valley for this week’s American Express. It’s an event played alongside amateur pro-am partners and a 54-hole cut. That will likely lead to more people taking a Stars & Scrubs approach. I still prefer a relatively balanced build with one $10k star, another in the tier below, and […]

Two weeks into the PGA season and we already have our first outright hit of 2023. Thanks, Si Woo.

Anyway, The American Express is tricky in the sense that we […]
