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 […]

7 under $7,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2021 Summer Games
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 […]

We’re heading off to Tokyo for the Summer Games. You might be thinking that there’s probably some crazy format for the Summer Games. You’d be wrong. It’s essentially a World Golf Championship where we have a super small field and no cut. There have been some high-profile withdrawals from the competition. The stud range As […]

2021 3M Open Showdown picks: Round 4
As we head into the final round of the PGA Tour 3M Open, Cameron Tringale holds a one-stroke lead over Gary Woodland and Maverick McNealy and sits at 12-under. Perhaps the more interesting part of the leaderboard comes at 10-under, where there’s an eight-way tie for fourth place. The most expensive golfers in the final […]

2021 3M Open Showdown picks: Round 3
The 3M Open has been an interesting event thus far. A quick scan of the most expensive Round 3 plays reveals that a lot of golfers at the top are underperforming. Eight golfers that would’ve been above $7,500 missed the cut and only one of the golfers above $9,000 is in the top 25 heading […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: 2021 3M Open
Golf is the only sport where the “arena” in which it is played changes 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 haven’t already. […]

It will take a truly special effort to put up a big number at Royal St. George’s tomorrow. And by big, I mean small…with it being golf, and all. This year, 66-of-77 golfers who made the cut shot scores within eight strokes of each other. There were a couple of outliers, of course, notably the […]

We’re through one round at Royal St. George’s with Louis Oosthuizen ($9,500) one stroke clear of the field. He’s hitting greens despite his lack of fairways. The South African only managed to hit 42% of his fairways but still found the putting surface over 75% of the time. Brandt Snedeker ($6,600) was the sharpest with […]

PGA Golf Model – Strokes Gained: Putting – John Deere Classic Rd. 4
With birdie opportunities to be had all around TPC Deere Run, this is one of the weeks that I’m comfortable taking some chances down the leaderboard. In lower-scoring tournaments, the finish position points make up a larger percentage of Round 4 Showdown scoring, but with golfers regularly hitting 65 and better here, I don’t think […]
