The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Masters
Golf’s first major of the season is upon this week at Augusta National. That means huge prize pools and lots of casual players hopping over to try their hand at golf.  While it tempting to get cute to avoid rostership bubbles, this is also a course that punishes sloppy golf. We don’t need to travel […]

PGA DFS Course Fit Model – The 2023 Masters
Welcome to a tradition like any other, the pinnacle of golf. The Masters is my favorite major, if for no other reason than it’s the only one played at the same course year in and year out, making for one of the strongest and most actionable course fit models of the season. Spoiler alert – […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Valero Texas Open

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 WGC Dell Technologies Match Play
This week’s hot takes are powered by 10,000 simulations (shoutout to Frank Brank) of the bracket. The simulations use my expected strokes gained projections and our round-to-round standard deviation estimates to produce the probability that each player advances through group stage, reaches the Elite Eight, reaches the Final Four, reaches the final, and wins the […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: WGC Dell Technologies Match Play
Match play is a completely different beast than stroke play. On a weekly basis, each player is locked in a 1-on-1 matchup of man vs. course. This week only, it’s mano a mano. As it turns out, this distinction has huge ramifications when it comes to which skill sets translate into success. If you were […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2023 Valspar Championship
I must admit — it’s easier to identify hot takes in the non-elevated PGA Tour events. The elevated events have seen softer pricing, resulting in wildly underpriced players (like Keegan Bradley at the API or Jason Day last week). At the Valspar, we’re back to the standard for PGA DFS — all chalk is fragile […]

After a boom-or-bust week at TPC Sawgrass, we head to the Tampa Bay area for the Valspar. The event is hosted by the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort. Known for the Snake Pit.    This classical, tree-lined course doesn’t yield many big numbers, unlike last week at TPC Sawgrass. It also doesn’t yield many birdies […]
