Wyndham Championship Round 2 Showdown picks
When it comes to Showdown slates, I think Round 2 can be a great one to attack.  After Roun1, and only 18 holes, people let their eyes do too much of the work.  Many strange things can happen in one round, both good and bad, that shape a player’s score. That can be a bounce […]

Round 4 Showdown strategy for the PGA Championship
Final round showdowns in golf DFS always get a little trickier with the finishing points now included. That should go the same for this weekend’s PGA Championship.

Round 2 Showdown strategy for the PGA Championship
The DraftKings Round 2 Showdown is always my favorite slate, as the public often overreacts to what they saw in Round 1. That’s not to say you need to avoid golfers who played well and cram in golfers that had poor first rounds, but you shouldn’t be writing off golfers after a bumpy start to […]

The Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel and Country Club (Par 72) hasn’t seen a European Tour event since 2002, when the winner was Darren Clarke. It was his third win at the venue in four years, having finished a far off fifth in 2001. Judging just based on scores alone, the course allows for birdies, with a win […]

Round 2 Showdown plays for the 3M Open
The second round of the 3M Open tees off on Friday morning. The wind will be a factor all day, but it will be worse in the afternoon, so for Showdown, I think it's wise to focus on the early wave of golfers and avoid the 15+ mph winds that are expected mid-day. I know […]
