PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2022 President’s Cup
Last season’s Ryder Cup was a successful one for me, as Dustin Johnson as a lightly rostered captain led me to a takedown. Unfortunately, the path doesn’t seem to be as simple as stacking a low-rostered American team that was both more talented than the Europeans and playing on a course that perfectly fit their […]

2022 Fortinet Championship Round 4 Showdown Picks and Strategy

Do we get different at the top or by fading values in contention?  Of course, the answers vary week to week, and this week is perhaps tougher than most since there’s more uncertainty surrounding the new Tour […]
