The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Mexico Open
Another week without a designated event means a weak field is showing up in Mexico. There are a few exceptions with the defending champ, Jon Rahm, and Tony Finau making the trip. That two-man tier at the top of the board makes things interesting when building out lineups this week. They are the cream […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: The 2023 Mexico Open
The Mexico Open returns to Vidanta Vallarta for the second year, which unfortunately means our course fit model will have a sample size issue this week. All we can hope for is for the model to point us in the right direction, but we certainly won’t be relying on it to the same degree we […]

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 […]

This week’s hot takes are powered by 10,000 simulations (shoutout to Frank Brank) of the bracket.

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 […]
