PGA DFS volatility report: 2022 American Express
As we work our way through the beginning of the PGA season, this piece will change, but it will always highlight the volatility of the golfers in a given field for that week.

2022 PGA Sony Open Round 4 Showdown Picks and Strategy
The cutmakers at the Sony Open averaged just a shade better than -1.5 strokes to par on moving day. Hideki Matsuyama led the field with a 7-under.

2022 PGA Sony Open Round 2 Showdown Picks and Strategy
The Sony Open provided plenty of birdie opportunities Thursday, with the field averaging 2-under. The morning wave played the course about 0.5 strokes better than the afternoon wave.

2022 PGA Sony Open Round 1 Showdown Picks and Strategy
Round 1 DFS showdown for a PGA Tour event, like this week’s Sony Open, may not have the same edges that we can find in Rounds 2-4 when the field is overreacting to what the saw the previous day, but there are still edges to be found. Overall, if you believe you have an edge […]
