The FedEx Cup Playoffs are here and they start with The Northern Trust which heads back to Liberty National Golf Club for the second time in three years. All but one(Louis Oosthuizen) of the Top 125 players in the FedEx Cup standings are teeing it up with the Top 70 advancing to the BMW Championship next week. Before we get into this week's picks, let's once again take a look at the new(ish) playoff format and how it how changed things for the better, at least in my opinion. First of all, the PGA Tour lowered the # of events to three which avoids top-ranked players taking the first event off and watering down the field. The second thing was widely criticized as the Tour changed the way the Tour Championship would be played. Essentially your ranking gives you a correlated starting score to begin the event(The player in first starts the Tour Championship at -10, 2nd at -8 and so on). To see the complete rundown check out this LINK. While this new format seems gimmicky, what it does is raise the importance of those first two events as every single point earned can make a huge difference. Looking at the course, Liberty National is a Par 71 that is listed at 7,410 yards on the scorecard. While the fairways are slightly smaller than average, the first cut of rough is only listed at 1.5 inches which does allow golfers to grip it and rip it and not worry as much about accuracy. The biggest challenge comes on the approach shot as the greens at Liberty National are among the smallest on tour and have added difficulty of undulation. With that information and stats from previous seasons, here are the top stats in my model: Strokes Gained: Approach Proximity from 200+ Yards Par 4 Scoring Strokes...

With all four major championships, the Olympic event, and the WGC events out of the way, the FedEx Cup Playoffs are now the center of attention. Before the three-event playoff begins there is one more opportunity for those outside the Top 125 to get in and that takes the Tour to Sedgefield Country Club for the Wyndham Championship. With so many of the big names and top players in the world coming off busy summer schedules and already locked into the playoffs, we have a somewhat weaker field this week. The narrative is strong for those around the cutline so let's take a look at a few players right around the bubble: 123rd - Patrick Rodgers 124th - matt Kuchar 125th - Bo Hoag 126th - Scott Piercy 127th - Nate Lashley From a DFS perspective, this event is a birdie fest with a winning score of -21 or lower in five straight years. In terms of distance(7,131 yards), the course is on the shorter side of things and like last week has a lack of straight holes which often forces placement and accuracy off the tee which is why we see a lot of less-than-driver. Looking at past leaderboards and correlation data, it shows that accuracy is much more important than distance this week. Hitting a ton of greens isn't necessarily going to get it done this week either. Sedgefield CC has one of the highest GIR rates on Tour year in and year out so I will be looking at not only Strokes Gained: Approach but also Fairway Proximity, mid-iron Proximity(125-150 & 150-175), and overall Proximity. Then it will come down to who has the hottest putter. The Course Sedgefield Country Club Par 70 - 7,131 Yards Greens - Bermuda Previous Five Winners 2020 - Jim Herman(-21) 2019 - J.T.

The Olympics once again gave us another entertaining event and saw American Xander Schauffele stand atop the podium on Sunday afternoon. Alongside him were two surprise medalists in Rory Sabbatini(Silver) and C.T. Pan(Bronze) and the Bronze even went down to a three-player playoff. In that playoff was Rory McIlroy who was not at all interested in the Olympics in 2016 and wasn't overly excited prior to this year. That tune changed as he went through the event and I am sure he will be part of the Irish team in 2024. With the Olympics in the rearview mirror, the PGA Tour now gets back to its regularly scheduled programming with just two events left until the 2021 playoffs. Technically three with the alternate Barracuda Championship this week but for DFS purposes and this article, we will be concentrating on the World Golf Championship event. This marks the third year TPC Southwind has hosted a WGC event and before that from 1989 to 2018, it hosted the St. Jude Classic which was a full field event. That is the big difference this week as this will be a no-cut event with a limited field of 66 invited golfers. With World #1 Jon Rahm still out with Covid and Christiaan Bezuidenhout skipping the event, we have a loaded field with 48 of the Top 50 players in the world teeing it up at TPC Southwind in Memphis. The course is a Par 70 that is listed at 7,237 yards on the scorecard and has been ranked 14th and 25th in the two year it has been used for the WGC and averaged as a Top 15 hardest course on Tour as the St. Jude Classic. Let's take a look at the scorecard, previous winners, and then dig into some stats. The Course TPC Southwind Par 70 -...

After an extra year of waiting, the Olympics are back and with it the second running of the golf event. It was Justin Rose capturing the Gold Medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 with Henrik Stenson and Matt Kuchar taking home the Silver and Bronze medals respectively. Neither of those players made the trip this time around but we once again have a strong 60-player field led by OPEN Champion, Collin Morikawa. The event will run like any no-cut event where all players in the field get four rounds to showcase their skills with the three lowest scores reaching the podium for the medal ceremony on Sunday afternoon(Saturday evening on North America). The event will be hosted at the East Course at the Kasumigaseki Country Club which is a Par 71 listed at 7,466 yards on the scorecard. It is a beautiful tree-lined course that should challenge the field with doglegs going both ways and a ton of deep bunkers scattered in key landing areas and all around the greens. The good news for golfers, is that the fairways look wider than the average PGA Tour course and with it's length, should cater a bit to the bombers in the field. From there, the golfers will have mid to long iron approaches into some very large, undulated greens. With that, I will factor in Proximity when breaking down Strokes Gained: Approach and then also factoring some three-putt avoidance. For lineup construction, keep in mind that no-cut events everyone gets four rounds. In the value ranges, this means looking for players who can make birdies in bunches rather than the usual "safe"-ish play that we are happy to get a made cut from on normal weeks. With a smaller field the ownership levels will rise as well for the top guys and...

If you were tailing my player pool in the article and especially on my sheet last week, you enjoyed the win as much as me and come into this week with some momentum. For the third year in a row, the PGA Tour heads to TPC Twin Cities for the 3M Open and both previous champions in Michael Thompson(2020) and Matthew Wolff(2019) are in the field. The field is headlined by World #2, Dustin Johnson, and #9 Louis Oosthuizen but overall is pretty weak with just eight of the Top 50 teeing it up. The big narrative leading into this event, at least from a fantasy perspective, will be the players returning from the OPEN and as of now, I am undecided on my approach but will address it more in chat as lineup lock approaches. The course is an Arnold Palmer-designed Par 71 built on sand and created to be a links-style course with very few trees. This means the wind will be a factor and I always go more in-depth on the weather on the Wednesday night live show. One thing we do know is that if the wind is down like it was the last two years, the course is very gettable and it has shown with winning scores of -21(Wolff) and -19(Thompson). The other big difference that could really affect scoring this week is the drought which will have the course play faster and firmer than previous years. Overall, when looking at my stats...
