Consequently, each tournament — like this week’s Fortinet Championship — provides its own unique challenge, which emphasizes certain areas of the game more than others. At this point, you’ll want to familiarize yourself […]

8 under $8,000: Cheap DFS plays for the 2022 Fortinet Championship
Every week, like at this week’s Fortinet Championship, 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 who is […]

2022 Tour Championship Round 1 Showdown Picks and Strategy
