The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic
Imagine all of the birdies from TPC River Highlands but without the big numbers. That is what we will see this week in Detroit at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Tony Finau has already tossed out the idea that 30-under is in play this week. We can take a look at easy-course performance and performance on […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic
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 […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic
Keegan Bradley! Fresh off the outright hit (now up over 200 units on the season), we head to a golf course that emphasizes off the tee performance above all else. I like our chances to stay hot! A brief reminder of the thought process behind and execution of the course fit model: Golf is the […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 Travelers Championship
I’ll keep saying it — I love returning from a major championship to a loaded PGA field with a strong course fit model. PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in relation to their ownership projections. Often, you have to feel like you’re on an island when it comes to your […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Travelers Championship
From LACC to TPC River Highlands. It’s a long flight across the country, and we are in for quite the shakeup in terms of style of golf required. We saw distance and a high ball flight was very advantageous last week at LACC, but TPC River Highlands is one of the rare courses that has […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 U.S. Open
It’s a big week on the PGA Tour with the U.S. Open on the schedule. It’s the third major of the season and will certainly have plenty of drama considering the recent PGA-LIV merger news. It’s also a rare trip out West for a major. Despite the move westward, this course will feature bermudagrass […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: The 2023 US Open
Happy US Open week! The year’s third major changes venue each year, but each course hand-selected by the USGA tends to test the players in similar ways. In addition to our usual strokes-gained categories, this model also incorporates specific approach buckets, like long irons. Los Angeles Country Club should be a treat, and hopefully it […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 RBC Canadian Open
The world of golf has been turned on its head this week with the “merging” of the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and DP World Tour. Will that be a distraction for some in the field for this week’s RBC Canadian Open? It’s possible but without the ability to pinpoint that impact, it’s best to even […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2023 Memorial Tournament
Every week — like at this week’s Memorial Tournament — 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 golfer […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Memorial Tournament
It’s time for milkshake mania at Muirfield Village, a yearly traditional. The shakes go down easy, but the course for the Memorial Tournament is not so easy. Muirfield Village presents one of the toughest non-major scoring tests of the season. Long par 4s, thick rough and lots of water hazards. Big numbers can pile up […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 Memorial Tournament
Jack’s place. Nicklaus managed to design a course for The Memorial Tournament that is one of the absolute best at getting the cream to rise to the top of the leaderboard. It is a unique test, but one that favors us, as it yields one of the two best course fit models on Tour. PGA […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge
Heading to Fort Worth this week, we see much warmer weather compared to last week. Wind is usually a big factor at this event (the Charles Schwab Challenge) but looks to be only a small factor this week, around 8 to 14 MPH for most of the week. This week’s event has a small […]

It’s time for the season’s second major, the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club. Before we get into the core plays, there are a few things to note. First, we will see a cutline of top 70 and ties instead of the usual top 65. It’s a minor change but worth noting that 6-of-6 […]

For a non-elevated event, the Byron Nelson field is fairly strong. Is it the prestige of the tournament or the golf course? I’m not sure, but TPC Craig Ranch does offer a surprisingly strong course fit model given the fact that we only have two years of data to work with. A brief reminder […]
