This automatically thrusts Par 4 Scoring into the spotlight and will be my key stat for the week. Behind that, I am looking at Par 5 BoB% as not only will golfers need to birdie these holes but Hole one also produced eight or more eagles in each of the last three years, four coming from players inside the Top 10 last season. With the smaller than average greens we will see the average GIR % down putting an emphasis on Scrambling and SG: Around the Green. Those who can gain strokes on the field with their approaches will be the ones who will frequent the leaderboard come Sunday so I will be looking, very close, as always, at SG:APP. As you will see with the early weather update at the bottom of the article it is projected to be windy all four days so make sure to check out the FutureofFantasy Breakdown of Top Wind Players.   For a feel of where ownership is going to be this week, be sure to head over to FanShareSports where they track all the social media mentions of all players throughout the week. They then quantify this data and rank each player in their "Most Tagged List". They have also added Salary Differential, Subject Tags...

He did so by shooting three of four rounds under 70 and was only one of two players inside the Top 10 on Sunday to shoot a sub 70 round. Looking at the players that entered the tournament in the elite tier of pricing($9K+), Masters Champion Sergio Garcia was the only player to finish inside the Top 10 in DraftKings points thanks to his hole in one. The PGA Tour now travels back to Texas for the AT&T Byron Nelson from TPC Four Seasons Resort. The course is a Par 70 that stretches 7,166 yards through tree lined fairways and firm conditions that should produce sub a 60% Driving Accuracy average. The course can be a bit of a beast with six of the 12 Par 4's over 450 yards and two of them over 500! Both Par 5's are reachable by almost all of the field as they sit in the 540-yard range and the Par 3's range from 174 yards to 221 yards. While it can be a beast don't just fixate yourself on driving distance as there has been shorter, more accuracy profiled players who have had success here. Last year was a perfect example of this. Looking at the 11 players who finished inside the Top 10, only four finished the season inside the Top 50 in driving distance and five actually finished outside the Top 100 in the stat.   Past Five Winners 2016 - Sergio Garcia(-15) 2015 - Steven Bowditch(-18) 2014 - Brendon Todd(-14) 2013 - Sangmoon Bae(-13) 2012 - Jason Dufner(-11) Even with Texas winds and rain mixed in over the years, there has...

After an exciting week at Eagle Point Golf Club for the Wells Fargo Championship, the players head to TPC Sawgrass for their own tournament and one of the best fields in golf. That's right, the PLAYERS Championship features an elite field that includes 48 of the Top 50 players in the world(#25 Thomas Pieters & #27 Brandt Snedeker are absent) giving the tournament an Official World Golf Ranking average of 137. The land was purchased for just $1 and the revolutionary idea of Stadium Golf by Deane Beman was all brought together by renowned architect Pete Dye in the late 70's/early 80's to create what we now know as TPC Sawgrass. The idea was to create to course that didn't favor any particular style of game and presented a lot more than just a physical test, but also challenged the player's mental game and course management skills. There are no two holes running back to back in the same direction and there is also a mix of left to right and right to left doglegs across the course. Oh ya, then there is the historic Par 3, 17th hole with it's Island Green inspired by Pete's wife Alice. I included an excellent video history below and I think my favorite quote was from J.C. Snead who said of the new course "They ruined a perfectly good swamp". Boy was he wrong in the end. "Only those who risk going too far will ever possibly find out how far one can go" ~ T.S. Eliot This year's event will be present even more of a test than in the past with its recent renovation after Jason Day's victory a year ago. Every green was changed over to TifEagle Bermuda...

This year's event will be a bit different than years past as the regular host course, Quail Hollow, will be hosting the 99th PGA Championship later this summer. That opens up a tremendous opportunity for the players to hit the Tom Fazio designed Eagle Point Golf Club. This will be the first Tour event held here but may not be the last after overwhelming positive feedback leading up to the event. Many players are comparing the attention to detail and course management to that of Augusta National. Pretty sick comparison! They hired Marsh Benson to help with some course improvements to get Eagle Point ready for this event including overseeding the course to Rye(used at Augusta). Marsh spent 27 years as the superintendent at Augusta and know what it takes to make a beautiful but very inviting playing environment for the players. The fairways are relatively straight with trees lining them and most holes with sand bunkers or water or both creating some choices that golfers will have to make. The greens are large in size but are very undulating and multi-tiered making the approach shot much harder than it appears on paper. Much like Augusta, most of the greens also have false fronts which can really tighten up the landing zones.

After a huge first career victory from trick shot king Wesley Bryan, the PGA Tour heads to the Greg Norman/Sergio Garcia designed Oak Course at TPC San Antonio. Unfortunately for golf fans, we won't be seeing many of the world's elite due to scheduling. We are now just two weeks removed from the Masters, a week away from the newly formatted Zurich Classic and less than a month away from the Players Championship. Patrick Reed(15) and Matt Kuchar(17) highlight the field as the only two golfers inside the Top 20 in the world. Overall, there are only nine of the world's Top 50 players but don't let that get you down as this is where the cheatsheet and added research can really pay off. Let's take a look at the course.   The Course TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks Course) Par 72 - 7,552 Yards Greens - Bermuda *Click to enlarge* The Stats & Fantasy Approach My Top 5 Key Stats: Strokes Gained: Off the Tee + Approach Driving Distance Par 4 Scoring Birdie or Better % Strokes Gained: Putting The Oaks course is a longer track with minimal elevation when comparing it to the Canyons of TPC San Antonio. The fairways are harder than average to hit and are surrounded by natural areas where golfers can get into a drop shot situation and lose strokes. Because of these factors, I will be looking at Strokes Gained Off the Tee + Approach as my key stat this week. I will also be sprinkling in Driving Distance with those as length matters on the long course. Looking at the hole by hole stats for the last three years, Par 4...

If you are looking for some help with either sheet please go check out my YouTube video going over this week's sheet for the Masters.   RBC Heritage Another incredible Masters tournament wrapped up on Sunday with Sergio Garcia finally taking the monkey off his back. In his 74th Major Championship start(record) and 19th Masters appearance(record), he finally broke through with what ended up being a battle of two players(Rose & Garcia). Both made incredible shots as well as mistakes but it was Rose's wayward drive on the playoff hole that opened the door for "El Nino". With Rose missing his Par putt, Garcia had two putts for the win but would only need one to secure his first Green Jacket. I ended up without the Sunday sweat in the Millie Maker I was hoping for(overweight on Spieth) but was 100% entertained by the events that unfolded. Every year when we transition from the Green Jacket to the Plaid Jacket it has me think of my favorite golf sports movie of all time.Happy Gilmore. Happy has a point. The color of the jacket doesn't matter, especially for us daily fantasy golf players. This is the mindset we will have to use this week as the field is just nowhere near what we saw last week in Augusta. Tyrrell Hatton(15) comes in ranked the highest in the Official World Golf Rankings and joins Danny Willett(17) and defending champion Branden Grace(20) as the only players inside the Top 20 this week. After those three, however, the field is fairly balanced with talent as 16 of the Top 50 and 41 of the Top 100 are in the field. Before jumping into the stats, trends and fantasy approach, let's take a look at the course.   The Course Harbour Town Golf Links Par 71 - 7,101 Yards Greens - Bermuda *Click to enlarge* Harbour Town Golf Links is a Par 71 so we...
