The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 Hero World Challenge
A tiny field of talented golfers heads to The Bahamas for a little post-Thanksgiving hit and giggle this week. It’s the Hero World Challenge, an event hosted by Tiger Woods, although he was forced to WD earlier in the week. The show still goes on.    The first thing that stands out this week is […]

Course Notes and Quotes: Albany
The PGA TOUR has shut it down for the holidays, but Tiger Woods has his annual event in the Bahamas, the Hero World Challenge. The event is a limited field (20 golfers) and does not reward any FedExCup points (it does give OWGR points).    With just 20 golfers in the field, it doesn’t give […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2022 RSM Classic
Every week — like at this week’s RSM Classic — 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 […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2022 RSM Classic
Naturally, we’re getting hot right before the break. At the RSM Classic, we’re trying to make it three outright hits in a row (try FTNBets for FREE), and we’ve been humming on the DFS side of things, as well.    Regardless of the event, PGA DFS is all about weighing the risks and rewards of players in […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 RSM Classic
The PGA Tour caps off the fall schedule with a trip to Sea Island.  These courses look pretty similar to what we saw before last week’s mash-it course in Houston. Most of the other fall events are played on courses that somewhat suit the shorter hitters and this one would fall in that bucket. Don’t […]

2022 RSM Classic Betting Preview
Back-to-back outright hits! Can we make it three in a row?   Betting possibilities are endless in PGA, but my focus is on outrights. The theory here is that outrights, being low probability events, are harder for books to price efficiently. Additionally, I believe my focus on course fit can lead to large edges in […]

PGA DFS Course Fit and Stats: RSM Classic
The fall swing of the PGA Tour has been kind to us, particularly the last two weeks. The Course Fit Model for the RSM Classic suggests more of the same.   Golf is the only sport in which the “arena” in which the game is played changes dramatically from one event to another. Consequently, each […]

Course Notes and Quotes: Sea Island Resort
The fall portion of the PGA TOUR schedule comes to an end this week at The RSM Classic.  It’s hosted by Sea Island Resort, which uses a two-course rota before the cut to allow for a full field to play with limited daylight. It’s been played here since 2010, so there is plenty of data […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2022 Houston Open

The PGA TOUR heads to Memorial Park for the Cadence Bank Houston Open. The course was designed in the 1930s but got a major overhaul by Tom Doak in 2019 in anticipation of hosting this event.  We’ve seen it host the last two editions, so what did we see during those two events?    Course […]
