If you are new to DraftKings PGA DFS be sure to click on the banner below. the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Muirfield Village Golf Club - Dublin, OH Par 72, 7392 Yards Back for another week of Daily Fantasy Golf and coming off another successful week at the Byron Nelson(8/10 cuts made, 4 Top 10's, 6 of the 8 who made cut finished inside T22). Steven Bowditch opened on Thursday with a 62 and capped his win with a 64 on Sunday. He won by 4 strokes and played terrific throughout the tournament. The tournament was delayed due to rain and the 14th hole which started out as a Par 4 on Thursday, finished as a Par 3, 100 Yarder for the remaining 3 days due to the fairway under water. Overall, a very odd week ending in a longshot winner. Nice to see, even nicer if he was in my lineups. I can assure you there won't be a longshot winner this week. Unlike last week's no show of top talent, this week has 15 of the worlds top 25 in the field for the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide. The course is Muirfield Village Golf Club built by Jack Nicklaus and was opened in 1974. It is the only venue to host all 3 Team Match Play Championships(Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup, Presidents Cup). The course has been annually ranked as a Top 20 course in America and Top 50 in the world. It presents a tough test for the players in many areas. First, a player must be accurate off the tee as the fairways are narrow and getting a GIR from rough is quite tough as the greens are guarded by water and sand throughout the course. The greens are average size but extremely fast. It will be important to not only hit the green but get it close to have shots at birdies. Proximity will be more important than GIR this week. If you are not hitting the greens in regulation Scrambling will become crucial to save pars and not give strokes back on the tough holes. When looking at the course setup there is 4 Par 3's(184-200 yards), 10 Par 4's(363-484 yards), and 4 Par 5's(527-567 yards). The wining score last year was -13 which is about average over the past 5-6 years. I will also be looking at scoring average overall this week as it takes a really good player to win here at Jack's Place. Below are all the...

If you are new to DraftKings PGA DFS be sure to click on the banner below. AT&T Byron Nelson TPC Four Seasons Resort - Irving, Texas Par 70, 7166 Yards I am back for another week of DFS PGA action for the AT&T Byron Nelson. Before we get to this week though let's take a look back at last week. I didn't get a bunch of time to watch the Crowne Plaza Invitational this past weekend but definitely followed closely on Twitter and the PGA Tour App. Chris Kirk captured the title with a -12 and great weekend of golf shooting 65/66. He edged out two of my other picks from last week, Spieth & Bohn. There were a few others lurking on Sunday including Snedeker, Perez, Hadwin, Poulter, Mcneil, and even my value pick Jerry Kelly. All in all it was an exciting Sunday for the PGA. I cashed 2 of my 6 lineups in GPP tournies this weekend with my balanced approach doing the best by far. Of my 11 picks last week, 10 made the cut(Peterson Withdrew on the weekend), 7 finished inside the Top 25, 5 had Top 10's, 2 T2's, and a win. Overall it was a very successful week and also a very successful two weeks now hitting 17/19 players making the cut. I will be looking to keep the good picks going for you all this week at the Byron Nelson. This week the players head to Irving, Texas for the AT&T Byron Nelson. If there were ever a week to take off, whether a player or DFSer, this would be the week. Voted by the players as one of the worst tournaments on tour. The field is usually lacking top talent and this could be for a few reasons. It falls between the majors and is during a busy time in the season so many players take this week off. Also, the course itself isn't anything too exciting for the players. It is a Par 70, 7166 Yard test. A shorter course with plenty of bunkers, narrow fairways, and large undulating greens. This course has been used for this event since 1986 but the course was re-designed in 2007 so course history will only be relevant from that point forward. When analyzing past winners and players who have done well here, you will notice a mix of long hitters and accuracy guys. It was very hard to find stats for this week that correlated between players who were...

He'll be bringing weekly PGA picks, analysis and breakdowns to help you cash on DraftKings. If you are new to DraftKings PGA DFS be sure to click on the banner below. Crowne Plaza Invitational Colonial Country Club - Fort Worth, Texas Par 70, 7204 Yards Very interesting week at the Wells Fargo Championship this past week. I was able to get 7 of my 8 picks through to the weekend and if not for Kokrak bogeying the 35th & 36th hole, I would have been 8/8. Mind you, Kokrak probably didn't deserve to make the cut anyway after his 6 Bogeys in the opening round to go with only 1 Birdie. Either way, it was a successful week beyond the fact that my Rory fade blew up in my face. When fading a player priced so much more than everyone else you pretty much just need that player to not win by multiple strokes. I thought it was going good through 2 days then Saturday arrived and he shot a course record 61. He is the world #1 for a reason I guess. It is eerily similar to when Tiger was dominating. When they are at the top of their game they are just a bit better than everyone else's best. Luckily, Rory isn't playing this week so no need to worry about fading him. We move on to next week. The 125 invited players head to Texas this week for the second last tournament in the state. The Crowne Plaza Invitational has been played at Colonial Country Club since 1946 and is the longest running event(non major)played at the same site on Tour. It has seen some pretty prestigious winners such as Ben Hogan 3 times, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Ben Crenshaw, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Phil Mickelson. The course, with its narrow fairways and strategic placement of bunkers, requires an accurate player who can hit higher than average fairways in regulation and greens in regulation. When looking at past leaderboards it looks like Driving Distance isn't really a part of the game that is required to contend here. The greens are smaller than average so I will not only be looking at GIR but also Proximity to the hole and Strokes Gained: Putting. Also, with the course being a Par 70 and only having 3 Par 5's I will be looking at Par 3 and Par 4 Scoring Average. I will be mostly concentrating on Par 4's as there are 12 on the course and they can definitely be challenging. The early forecast is showing chance...

He'll be bringing weekly PGA picks, analysis and breakdowns to help you cash on DraftKings. If you are new to DraftKings PGA DFS be sure to click on the banner below. Wells Fargo Championship Quail Hollow Club - Charlotte, North Carolina Par 72, 7442 Yards This week the PGA Tour travels to Charlotte, North Carolina and the Quail Hollow Club for the Wells Fargo Championship. The course is home to probably the toughest 3 hole closing stretch on the PGA Tour. The Green Mile, as it's known as, takes players through a 3 hole stretch of HELL. Hole 16 is a Par 4, 480 yard hole with a fairway bunker which requires an accurate drive to get any chance at a GIR on the most difficult putting surface on the course. Hole 17 is a Par 3, 2017 Yard hole which requires a 200+ yard carry over water to a sloping green. Hole 18 is a Par 4, 478 Yard hole which players will be happy to get par on. Tough tee shot with water on the left and bunkers on the right leading to a green protected by hazards on both sides. Yikes! Scores over the last few years have been -14, -8, -14, -15, -15. With the setup of this course, the players will be looking to get most of their scoring through the 4 Par 5's which can all be reached if you have distance off the tee. I will be targeting players who are ranked highly in Driving Distance, GIR, Par 5 Performance, Scrambling and Strokes Gained: Putting. Good luck this week. Driving Distance Greens in Regulation Par 5 Performance Scrambling Strokes Gained: Putting Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9000-Max) My first Tier this week only has 9 golfers in it so I am really focused on getting a T5 from all 3. I actually like the chances of all the golfers in Tier 1 this week for different reasons. I am fading Rory this week(hope it doesn't bite me in the ass!!)because his price is $2800 more than the next highest golfer. He is in the middle of a very busy schedule and this seems like a week in the middle of it all where he might not perform up to his price. I will be highlighting 2 guys highly ranked in the 5 stat categories and 1 guy who is a horse for the course. Patrick Reed - $9100 (Vegas Odds – 34/1) Reed comes in first in my rankings this week for a few reasons. He is having a great year with a WIN...

The Players Championship TPC Sawgrass - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL Par 72, 7,215 Yards After a week off from stroke play events we are back at it with the PLAYERS Championship. Some refer to it as the the 5th major and it draws the best of the best on the PGA Tour as the field is jam packed with top 50 players in the world. The tournament takes place at TPC Sawgrass where it has been home to the PLAYERS since 1982. The winning score has been -13 the past 4 years so there is definitely scoring out there and also some opportunity for some bogey free rounds and birdie streaks which are needed for GPP success on Draftkings. Past performance here can definitely help identify guys who can manage the course well but more importantly I will be looking for guys with some good current form. This week I will be targeting All Around Ranking guys with some of the following stats. All Around Ranking Strokes Gained: Tee to Green Strokes Gained: Putting Ball Striking Scrambling Greens in Regulation Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9000-Max) Rory Mcilroy - $13,200 (Vegas Odds – 8/1) I am going to start with Rory this week as he thrives in the biggest tournaments against the best in the world. He started the year slow but recently he is definitely in #1 in the world form with a win in last weekends Match Play Championship, 4th at the Masters, T11 at the Arnold Palmer, and T9 at the WGC-Cadillac. He finished T6 here last year and T8 the year and with his stats below he definitely checks all boxes. His confidence is high and you should consider making a few lineups with Rory at the top. All Around Ranking - 2 Strokes Gained: Tee to Green - 19 Strokes Gained: Putting - 68 Ball Striking - 11 Scrambling - 182 Greens in Regulation - 41 Jason Day - $9900 (Vegas Odds – 26/1) Coming in under $10K seems like a bargain for the caliber of golfer Day is. He hasn't missed a cut this year and is coming off a 4th at the Zurich Classic with a -19. He has made 2/4 cuts here at TPC Sawgrass with a T19 and T6 in those cuts made. His stats in all 6 categories are Top 50 and 5/6 are Top 20. Insert him in your...

He'll be bringing weekly PGA picks, analysis and breakdowns to help you cash on DraftKings. If you are new to DraftKings PGA DFS be sure to click on the banner below. Zurich Classic of New Orleans TPC Louisiana - Avondale, Louisiana Par 72, 7,425 Yards This week the players head to Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The course is rated as one of the easiest on tour and you need to go low to have a chance this week as the winning score is usually around -17 to -20. When looking at course history it is a real crap shoot as even players with good finishes have missed cuts mixed in. I am looking more this week at current form for those players who are peaking at the moment. As most of the scoring here is done through the Par 4's and 5's I will be looking at both together with the usual Strokes Gained stats and GIR. Now that we are well into the 2015 season I will be solely looking at 2015 stats. This week more than ever it seems like a time to really target GPP's as anyone can get hot for 4 days here. Good luck! Strokes Gained: Tee to Green Strokes Gained: Putting Greens in Regulation Par 4 Scoring Par 5 Scoring Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9,000-Max) Dustin Johnson - $13,000 (Vegas Odds – 9/1) I don't mind one bit that his price is $13,000. When looking for a player in good form look no further than Johnson. Coming off a T6 at the Masters, T6 at Texas Open, and a Win at the Cadillac, Dustin's game is looking pretty good. If he can get a good tournament from the putter, another win is in store. Strokes Gained: Tee to Green - 1st Strokes Gained: Putting - 139 Greens in Regulation - 132 Par 4 Scoring - 106 Par 5 Scoring - 3 Keegan Bradley - $10,500 (Vegas Odds – 21/1) When I look a little lower on the list I gravitate to Bradley. His form is good(T22,T5,T49,T38) and has only missed one cut in 2015. He finished T8 here last year and is a guy who can go low with the help of the long drive. I really like the fact he is around the top 60 in both Par 4 and 5 scoring. Strokes Gained: Tee to Green - 14 Strokes Gained: Putting - 125 Greens in Regulation - 90 Par 4 Scoring - 58 Par 5 Scoring - 64 Brendan Steele - $9,200 (Vegas Odds –...
