BMW Championship After Patrick Reed won The Northern Trust to open the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the PGA Tour now heads to Medinah Country Club which will host the BMW Championship. With the new three-event format, the field is now down to 70 players who will battle it out to make the Top 30 and the Tour Championship at East Lake. This is the first trip to Medinah CC for the PGA Tour since the 2012 Ryder Cup. It also hosted the 2006 and 1999 PGA Championship's which were both won by none other than Tiger Woods. He withdrew last week with a "mild" oblique strain but is back in the field this week sitting at #38 in standings. He will be looking for a good performance to get back to East Lake where he broke through with a win after a very long recovery and comeback to the Tour. Medinah Country Club's No.3 Course will play as a Par 72 coming in at 7,613 yards on the scorecard. That's right, for those of you(myself included) who forget the course it is a beast. Off the tee, golfers will see fairways that are heavily protected by bunkers in key landing areas combined with knarly Kentucky Bluegrass rough(4" second cut rough) that can create problems and forced layups. You not only need to be long off the tee but also accurate(Total Driving/SG: Off the Tee). There are also a ton of doglegs on the course creating blind shots and over half of those are right to left(draw for righties, fade for lefties). On the approach, golfers will be looking at smaller than average green complexes that are very well protected by bunkers and many of the greens are elevated adding to the challenge. On top of SG: Approach/Proximity being a key stat, it also makes sense to look at SG: Around the Green with some Sand...

The Northern Trust The long grind of the PGA Tour regular season is now over and the Top 125 players will now battle it out in a three-week, three-event showdown for the Tour Championship crown and a $15,000,000 payday. Before getting into this week's breakdown and picks, let's quickly go over the format for the FedEx Cup Playoffs which have been tweaked in 2019. First of all, the Playoffs have been moved up a month and with the combination of moving to three events instead of four, the season will wrap up by the end of August this season. This likely has some correlation to the Olympics coming next season which has pushed the Fall season to 11 events starting in September(eight this year). The Top 125 make the Northern Trust this week with the Top 70 in the standings making the BMW Championship next week and the Top 30 making the Tour Championship. The other big change is the somewhat simplification of the Tour Championship structure. Win the tournament and you are the FedEx Cup champion. It's that simple and no more multiple leaderboards to track. The only funky part of the new structure is the bonus scores that golfers will receive depending on their place in the standings. Enter the Tour Championship in 1st and you start the event with a score of -10, 2nd starts at -8 and so on with 26th-30th starting at even par. A complete breakdown can be found on the PGA Tour website. It all starts this week with The Northern Trust and the frist trip back to Liberty National Golf Club since the 2013 and 2009 Barclay's which also opened the Playoffs those seasons. The course will play almost the same as in 2013 but will be a Par 71 this time around with some length added as well. Looking at the stats from the...

Wyndham Championship With just one week left in the regular season, the PGA Tour heads to Sedgefield Country Club for the Wyndham Championship. For those golfers outside the Top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings, it will be their final opportunity to play their way into the Northern Trust next week. For reference, I have added the FedEx Cup rankings to the sheet. Sedgefield CC is a Donald Ross designed Par 70 that is just over 7,100 yards. Off the tee, golfers will see narrow fairways with risk-reward options on some holes in terms of how much you want to challenge the water/creeks. This, as designed by Ross, puts a ton of emphasis on not only hitting the fairway but positioning yourself for a clear approach shot. After a strong mix of ball striking stats in my model, I will be adding some scrambling and a lot of weight to birdie or better % as the average winning score has been -20 over the last five years. For Par 4 scoring, I will be looking at the 400-450 yard range as eight of the 12 holes fall into this distance range. There are only two Par 5's on the course but they are, by far, the easiest holes on the course and with a ton of eagles made on these holes, I will be looking at Par 5 Birdie or Better % not just Par 5 scoring. With that, let's jump in and look at some course info and trends and then some core plays in each price range.

The 148th OPEN Championship The final major of the 2018-19 season has finally arrived as the top players in the world head to Royal Portrush Golf Club for the 148th OPEN Championship, and for the first time since 1951. While we have no course history at this event to pull from, the European Tour did play the Irish Open at Portrush in 2012. There won't be much to draw from that when breaking down stats as there are two brand new holes(#7, #8) which replace the old 17th and 18th holes. Those are not the only changes to the course as there are five new greens, eight new tee boxes(to help add some length and strategy), and 10 new bunkers. Even with the those added bunkers it is still the lowest bunker count(58) of any OPEN venue but don't think it will be out of the player's heads. From looking at images and hearing what players are saying, the difficulty level will be elevated if you find yourself in one of these bunkers. Like any "true" Links course, the biggest defense is always the weather and no tournament is more important to pay attention to this narrative right up to(or close to) lock. The fairways are slightly wider than PGA Tour average taking away the need for accuracy a bit the other factor besides wind that can change that is the thicker than normal rough we see at the OPEN. Early reports are showing players using a "less than driver" strategy to ensure fairway hit and shot at the greens. As of now, I am simply looking at Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, especially in the short-term coming into this week. Looking at the projected approach shot distances, it looks like golfers will see plenty of mid-iron approach with six of the Par 4's falling between 400 and 450 yards mixed with...

John Deere Classic With the OPEN Championship at Royal Portrush just a week away we have a very interesting week for daily fantasy golf. A lot of players have already made their way across the pond to play the Irish Open last week, including Jon Rahm who won the event, and this week another group of top players heads over to play in the Scottish Open. That leaves us with another weak-field John Deere Classic that contains no players inside the Top 50 and just 12 who rank inside the Top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings. While the field lacks the top talent in the World, it more than makes up for it with a ton of young, talented, and exciting players. In a better field last week at TPC Twin Cities we saw Matthew Wolff, a shot behind Bryson DeChambeau already in the clubhouse, make a 26-foot Eagle putt for the win on the 18th hole. TPC Deere Run is a Par 71 that has a posted distance of 7,268 yards. It is one of the easiest courses on Tour routinely ranking around 40th(of about 50 courses) in difficulty annually and -22 has been the average winning score over the last five years here. One of the things that drives the lack of difficulty(for Tour Pros) are the wider than average fairways that produce an average driving accuracy over 70%. While the Bentgrass greens are slightly smaller than average(5,500 sq ft), they are soft and slow(11.5 on stimpmeter) and very receptive making them play bigger while generating a GIR above 70% on average. This puts a ton of emphasis on Strokes Gained: Approach and I will also be looking at Proximity from the mid yardages ranges(125-175 yards). Looking at previous leaderboards(via Fantasy National), I also noticed a much higher correlation from Par 4 Scoring to finish position than par 5...

Grab your copy today and edge out the competition. 3M Open This week the PGA Tour travels to Blaine, Minnesota for the 3M Open, a new event on Tour. It will be played at TPC Twin Cities which had hosted a PGA Champions Tour event(3M Championship) from 2001 until last season. It regularly produced low scores and while it has been lengthened around 250-300 yards, I still think we see a birdie fest this week. The field is led by World #1 Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau(#8) joins him as the only other player inside the Top 10 World Golf Rankings. Overall, there are just nine of the Top 50 and 28 of the Top 100 players teeing it up this week. TPC Twin Cities plays as a Par 72 for it's members but will play as a Par 71 this week and comes in at over 7,400 yards. While water comes into play on 15 of the 18 holes, the fairways are very generous and should produce a higher than average driving accuracy. When breaking down Ball Striking, which I feel is the most important every week, I will be weighing Strokes Gained: Approach quite a bit more than Off the Tee. The greens at TPC Twin Cities are larger than average(average 6,500 sq ft) so I will also be weighing Proximity to the Hole. My overall thought on the event is that we have a good weather forecast on a course that should produce a winning score around -18 to -22. I will be focusing a lot of my time on players form, especially in the key stats over the last 12 and 24 round sample sizes(via Fantasy National). Let's jump into the picks.
