The players head to Wisconsin this weekend to one of the toughest tests in golf. Whistling Straits will be the host of the 2015 PGA Championship. The course has hosted the Championship most recently in 2010 (Martin Kaymer - Winner) and 2004 (Vijay Singh - Winner). It was in 2010 where Dustin Johnson grounded his club in an unmarked bunker and was issued a 2 stroke penalty, which ultimately left him short of the playoff. It is a links-style course with over 1200 bunkers and is very open to the elements. When the wind speed rises it can play very tough and pars can be hard to get. Believe me, I know. I played this course last night on PS4 Rory Golf and barely shot a 70 (LOL). Ok, joking aside, the first thing I noticed when playing the course was if you do not hit the fairway consistently you will put yourself in some bad recovery situations. The greens are guarded with bunkers and the pins can be tucked in some tight areas. The difference in this tournament can sometimes come down to playing it safe and taking a par versus being aggressive and trying to attack pins. Players will need to find that balance or a high number will be posted on the scorecard. With most major championships the cream rises to the top so you will want to play mostly a balanced lineup for the GPP play this weekend no matter the site you are playing on. When it comes to the DraftKings Millionaire Maker tournament you will definitely want to find one or two guys who you project to be low owned. It usually takes all of your golfers in the top 25 along with the winner and one or two others in the top 10 to take home the big prize. If you are multi entering it is good to pick a core four or five guys and build your lineups around them rather than try and cover...

PGA Daily Fantasy Picks Shell Houston Open DFSR is proud to bring you our newest contributor Chris Durell. 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. Shell Houston Open Golf Club of Houston - Humble, Texas Par 72, 7,441 Yards Well, here we are one week closer to the Masters and I don't know about you but I am getting very excited. The first ever Daily Fantasy Golf Millionaire Maker over at Draftkings only boosts the level of excitement for me. A chance to win a million bucks for a $20 entry? Ummm, yes please! If you haven't reserved your seat yet be sure to get into some satellites this week for as low as $.25 to win a ticket. You can even enter satellites in other sports to try and win your way in. Oh, and if you are looking for some analysis on a few golfers to help you get your way to the million be sure to check out my article next week where I will highlight a few extra golfers to target for the Masters. Before we get ahead of ourselves with all the Masters talk we have to get through this weekend and the Shell Houston Open. The players travel to Humble, Texas this week for the Shell Houston Open, the last tournament before the Masters. This tournament hosts 15 of the top 30 golfers in the world. The course, a Rees Jones design, has been used in the Houston Open since 2006 and proves to be a great warm up to Masters as it closely replicates Augusta National. In researching past tournaments I am noticing that the best players in the field are consistently rising to the top of the leaderboard. Much like the Masters, the golfers with the best all around game have the greatest chance at winning this week. Most of the golfers with good track records here are long hitters who hit lots of greens. Not to say that accuracy guys don't do well here, as they have in the past, but I will be concentrating on the longer guys. To select the cream of crop this week I will be focusing on Course History(back to 2006), Current Form, and of course these statistical categories. Strokes Gained:Tee to Green Strokes Gained: Putting Greens in Regulation Driving Distance Scoring Average Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9000-Max) Matt Kuchar - $11,400 (Vegas Odds – 19/1) So here we are with my first pick of the week. I had Henrik Stenson plugged into this slot until he withdrew today so...

PGA Daily Fantasy Picks Valspar Championship DFSR is proud to bring you our newest contributor Chris Durell. 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. Valspar Championship Innisbrook Resort(Copperhead Course) Par 71, 7340 Yards This week the PGA Tour makes a stop at the Copperhead Course for the Valspar Championship. Last week the players had to face the Bear Trap at Trump National Doral and this week it is the Snake Pit (16,17,18). The Snake Pit is ranked top 5 hardest closing 3 hole stretch on tour. The course is tree-lined with a few holes where water comes into play making it an unusual Florida course. The main defense the course uses is the smaller fairways and thick roughs. When I looked back at previous years I noticed the top guys only hit average fairways but well above average in GIR and Scrambling. Another thing I have noticed in my spreadsheet when it comes to Vegas Odds this week is Vegas is really favoring guys in top of the Strokes Gained: Tee to Green stat more than any other. There has been efficient, accurate golfers mixed in with some bombers near the top last few years here. The Copperhead course has been used in every Valspar Championship so there is a lot of course history to go off of. I will again be looking at course history, recent form, and the following stats to make my picks for this week. Ball Striking Greens in Regulation Scrambling Srokes Gained: Tee to Green Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $8600-Max) Luke Donald - $9900 (Vegas Odds – 29/1) My first pick this week is Luke Donald who doesn't exactly have the greatest stats to back up being my top pick. He is average for SG: Tee to Green and an above average scrambler. The reason for the pick is his course history. Donald has not missed a cut here and hasn't finished outside the Top 20 in his last 4 attempts. He even won the event in 2012. He finished T49 last week at Doral on a tough course and a T7 the week before that. Roll with Donald this week with a price below $10,000 and you will be able to build a strong lineup around him. Jim Furyk - $10,900 (Vegas Odds – 21/1) Next on my list is Jim Furyk, who is also a previous winner at this event. Besides the win his track history is real good(2014-T20 2013-T7 2012-T2 2011-T13 2010-WIN). He has made 6/7 cuts here. Furyk also has some great stats to back up...

PGA Daily Fantasy Picks WGC Cadillic Championship DFSR is proud to bring you our newest contributor Chris Durell. 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. WGC Cadillic Championship Trump National Doral Par 72, 7481 Yards This week’s tournament is a World Golf Championship event which features no cut. This event has been played at Trump National Doral since 2007 and up until last year’s tournament the average score was around -17. Following Tiger Woods win in 2013 the course was re designed by Gil Hanse, who is designing the course for the 2016 Olympics. The course was lengthened, especially the Par 5 1st hole, which was one of the tour’s easiest Par 5’s. The other big change made to the course was the addition of strategic water placement. The old design seen water come into play on 6 holes where as the new design sees water on 10 holes. The wind at Doral is no longer the only defense for the course. The course has four Par 5’s, Four Par 3’s, and 10 Par 4’s. The early weather forecast is showing some wind, but not like this past week. There is chance of rain for Saturday but for the most part it looks to be nice weather for the event. For this week’s picks I have split all the golfers into 3 tiers. I will provide analysis on three Tier 1 golfers, three Tier 2 Golfers and two Tier 3 golfers. I will be looking closely at current form this week as this will be a tough test for struggling players to turn it around. Due to the course re design I will be looking mostly at 2014 results for course history but will also look back to 2007 to see who plays well at Doral. The stats I am crunching this week are: Driving Distance Strokes Gained:Tee to Green Strokes Gained:Putting Greens in Regulation Par 4 Scoring Average Par 5 Scoring Average Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $8000-MAX) Bubba Watson - $12,400 (Vegas Odds – 15/1) Both years Bubba Watson won the Masters at Augusta he finished 2nd at this tournament. He also sandwiched a T18 in between in 2013. Bubba has started this year very strong with three top 15’s(Northern Trust-T14, Phoenix Open-T2, Tournament of Champions-10). When you combine his course history, current form and the following stats, Bubba becomes a top pick for this week and should have a chance to win. Driving Distance - 2014(1) 2015(14) SG:Tee to Green - 2014(7) 2015(9) SG:Putting - 2014(110) 2015(26) Greens in Reg - 2014(24)...

Daily Fantasy Golf Picks DraftKings Farmers Insurance Open DFSR is proud to bring you our newest contributor Chris Durell. 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. Farmers Insurance Open Course     Torrey Pines South – Par 72 (7698 yds)    Torrey Pines North – Par 72 (7050 yds) Last Year’s Winner – Scott Stallings(-9) This week the PGA tour makes a stop at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California for the Farmers Insurance Open. The Farmers Insurance Open is played on two courses(Torrey Pines North & South) with the South Course being one of the longest and hardest on tour. All players get a shot at the North and South courses Thursday and Friday. After the cut has been established the remaining players will play the final 36 holes on the South course only. Torrey Pines North has traditionally scored 1-3 strokes better than the South course, which is to be expected with an almost 700 yard difference. Putting will be a premium stat this week with the Poa Annua greens which can get bumpier throughout the day. When making my picks I use a combination of factors each week. I use 3-5 stat categories that fit the course layout, Vegas Odds, past performances, current form. The stat categories I will be using this week are: All Around Ranking Driving Distance Greens in Regulation Proximity to Hole Strokes Gained: Putting Strokes Gained: Tee to Green   Tier 1 Targets (DraftKings price $8500-Max) Jimmy Walker $14,000 (Vegas Odds- 15/1) – I found it tough to pick between the top 3 guys this week. First off, Walker is the cheapest of the 3. In comparing course history it comes down to Day & Walker where each have had 2 top 10’s and a MC in last 3 trips. Finally when I look at stats Walker comes out on top. He is top 30 in all 6 categories highlighted by a 3rd in All Around Ranking, 11th in Strokes Gained Putting and 13th in Strokes Gained Tee to Green. Hideki Matsyuma $11,700 (Vegas Odds-21/1) – My second choice this week in the first Tier is Matsyuma. He is $2300 cheaper than Walker with the same upside in my eyes. He is top 40 in 5/6 stats categories with a 8th in All Around Ranking, 9th in Strokes Gained Tee to Green, 21st in Proximity to Hole. His weakest stat is putting at 69th which is on the fringe of what I am looking for. In his only start at the Farmers he finished tied for 16th last year. For...
