This week the PGA Tour heads to West Virginia for the Greenbrier Classic. The tournament was canceled in 2016 after flooding destroyed the Old White TPC. It was completely overhauled during the last calendar year and reports are it is looking as beautiful as ever. Looking at the course overview on PGATour.com, the fairways are lined with trees but appear to be very generous and should see somewhere around a 70% average in greens hit for the week. This is going to allow us to weigh driving distance a little higher this week but I will still be concentrating on Strokes Gained Approach for my top stat. I will also be looking closely at the Future of Fantasy's Golfanac to pick out some players who perform well on Par 70 courses and Bentgrass Greens. Let's quickly take a look at the course stats, past winners & scores, and my top stats and then jump into the picks for the week.   The Course The Old White TPC - White sulfur springs, WV Par 70 - 7,287 Yards Greens - Bentgrass **Click to Enlarge**   Past Five Winners 2016 - Cancelled Event 2015 - Danny Lee (-13) 2014 - Angel Cabrera (-16) 2013 - Jonas Blixt (-13) 2012 - Ted Potter Jr. (-16)   The Stats & Fantasy Approach My Key Stats: Strokes Gained Approach Strokes Gained Off the Tee/Driving Distance Par 4 Scoring Birdie or Better %   Top Current Form Targets David Lingmerth World Golf Ranking (#93) Vegas Odds (20/1) Draftkings ($10,000) FanDuel ($7,600) Looking at the five tourney average finish, there is no one hotter in the field than Lingmerth. He is coming off a T5 at TPC Potomac and has not finished...

It was a disappointing at the Travelers, from a DFS standpoint, as I completely faded Spieth and was almost all in on Rory. FAIL! Seriously, if you have followed me or been reading my articles all season you probably think I am crazy and, well, you're right. I have mentioned Spieth in my article in almost every one of his starts.....Until this past week. While it was frustrating from a DFS perspective it was awesome to watch my favorite golfer go wire to wire and then somewhat hit a walk-off bunker hole out to take the trophy. The nice thing about daily fantasy golf is that after analyzing the mistakes and taking notes after a bad week we can put it behind us and move on to the next tournament. Let's jump in. This week the PGA Tour travels to Potomac, Maryland for the 2017 Quicken Loans National. The tournament has shifted to a new location for this year's event after spending seven of the last 10 years at Congressional Country Club. The newly renovated TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm will play host this time around and it proves to be a nice test for the 120 player field. It played host to a regular PGA Tour event(Booz Allen Classic) up until 2006 when it dropped from the schedule after many of the big names failed to show up after the course was heavily criticized for it's less than satisfactory playing conditions. In 2009, it was completely re-designed with every hole seeing a transformation. Becuase of this, I will be treating it like a brand new course and not factoring course history whatsoever this week. For a deciding factor between two players, I will glance at the event history and see how players have performed at the QL National in...

That, however, doesn't leave us with a weak field this week as the Tour heads to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship. Three of the world's Top 10 golfers(Mcilroy #3, Day #4, Spieth #6) and 15 of the Top 50 are in action this week. The course is also a complete 180 degree flip from last week as TPC River Highlands is close to 1,000 yards shorter in length and is a Par 70 setup with just two Par 5's and 12 Par 4 holes. While we seen just a couple trees at Erin Hills, the fairways are lined with them this week with "normal" PGA Tour bunkers protecting landing spots and the greens.  Water comes into play on the 13th hole as it lines the right-hand side and also holes 15, 16, and 17 surround a big lake. Over the years we have seen players go about attacking the course in different ways which doesn't limit our field to distance or accuracy. Bubba Watson in his two wins crushed the field off the tee and was just average or slightly better in other areas. Russell Knox, last season, used his accuracy and putting to take home the hardware. The biggest I am looking at this week as you will see below in my top stats is Strokes Gained: Off the Tee + Approach and Par 4 Scoring. For cash games, I will be looking closely at the sub $10K range to build my core and then stay more with a balanced approach. For tournaments, I will be looking to build around a core the same core for the most part but also using some contrarian plays that could be lower owned...

This year the event will be held at Erin Hills for the first time in the course's history(Opened in 2006). It is a minimalist designed course that uses the rolling prairie, fescue, and natural sand to create a unique challenge for the golfers. It is somewhat a links course in that it has very few trees on site and the scoring is very dependant on the wind as it is the #1 defense system. From the tee box, golfers are going to like the very wide fairways here but many of the tee shots are going to present a challenge being blind and protected by the natural and near impossible bunkers. Spray the ball too far offline and golfers are going to have to deal with fescue that, in certain spots, will be 3-4 feet high making it an extreme challenge just to get the ball back in play. While Kevin Na was maybe a little over dramatic about the playing conditions, it was still pretty entertaining. Check it out. Whether you agree with Na or not, that heavy fescue is going to make or break a lot of players chances of hoisting the trophy this week. To be perfectly honest, I don't think that the fescue is even close to the biggest challenge this week if you can believe it. The bunkers are going to test even the best sand players as it will be almost impossible to find a flat lie or stance in these natural hazards. Then, as I mentioned above, golfers will have to deal with the wind which could easily sway the winning score by 5+ shots. Currently, the forecast is showing 7-10 mph winds with gusts of 10-20 at times. I will be monitoring closely and...

It was Jason Dufner taking home the trophy last week at the Memorial with a winning score of -13. How did he do it? He led the field in Strokes Gained Approach(2.67) and in Strokes Gained Tee to Green(4.14). In fact, if he could have putt at all(-.095 SG: Putt) he would have won by a lot more as no other golfer gained over three strokes to the field in SG:T2G. Either way, it was awesome to see that huge fist pump and celebration. Miss the final round? Check out the highlights below.   This week the PGA Tour travels to Memphis, Tennessee for the FedEx St. Jude Classic. It has been hosted by it's current venue, TPC Southwind, since 1989 so we have a ton of course history to look at(My cheatsheet only looks at last 5 years). The course is a Par 70 with just two Par 5's, Four Par 3's, and 12 Par 4's. The Par 5 third hole is reachable in two but presents golfers with a challenge if they elect to go for it as there is water to the right and sand to the left of the small green. The Par 5 16th hole is a dogleg left that has produced almost double the Eagles and around 50 more birdies per year over the past three years.

The scoring stays the same but you will no longer have to designate rounds 1-2 or 3-4 for your golfers. Just pick eight golfers and go! If you thought getting 6/6 through the cut on DraftKings was somewhat of a challenge, get ready for the new challenge on FanDuel of getting 8/8 through to the weekend. I am guessing the %'s will be very low putting a huge spotlight on balancing safety with upside. I can't wait to give it a whirl as I quickly lost interest the first time around. This week the PGA Tour travels to Muirfield Village Golf Club, better known as Jack's Place which is annually ranked inside the Top 20 golf course's in America and Top 50 in the World. The Memorial tournament has been hosted at Muirfield Village GC each year since the first one in 1976. It is a Par 72 that stretches out to just under 7,400 yards but automatically think that this a bombers paradise. Last year there were four golfers inside the Top 10 that finished inside the Top 10 in Driving Distance(for the year) but three of the Top 4 fell outside the Top 118 in distance. In 2015, there were only two golfers inside the Top 10 who finished the season Top 10 in Driving Distance and just one in 2014. I found this somewhat odd at first glance seeing as there are seven Par 4 holes on the course that stretch out over 447 yards but the stats don't lie. The Par 5's also all sit between 527 and 563 yards which make them accessible in two by almost the entire field. Let's quickly take a look at the course details and past five winners...
