Shriners Hospitals for Children Open After a three week stop in Asia, the PGA Tour returns to the United States this week for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nevada. For the first time in a month(not counting the Sanderson Farms), we are also back to a full field event with a cut which will send the Top 70 players and ties to the weekend. The field has a couple of big names with two of the Top 10(Bryson DeChambeau, Rickie Fowler) and four more(Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau, Webb Simpson, Patrick Cantlay) inside the Top 25 in the Official World Golf Rankings. The course is an average length(7,243 yards) Par 71 with four Par 3's, 11 Par 4's, and three Par 5's. Looking at the Par 4 holes, there are seven of them that fall between 400 and 450 yards so I will be looking closely at performance on approach shots from around 125-150 yards for the most part. Proximity will be the key when breaking down Strokes Gained: Approach as well as the greens here are larger than average with some undulation on most of them so placement is key. Looking at the winning scores from previous years, it is clear this should turn into a birdie-fest so Birdie or Better % will also be weighed very heavily in my model. Don't worry too much about last year as it was cool and very windy throughout the week and looking at the forecast(see bottom of article), this year's event looks like terrific weather with high's in the mid 70's. Let's now take a look at the course and some of the top picks in each price range. The Course TPC Summerlin - Las Vegas, NV Par 71 - 7,243 Greens - Bentgrass **Click the pic above to link to a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com**...

This week the PGA Tour is split into two events with the Sanderson Farms Championship from the Country Club of Jackson and the WGC HSBC Champions from Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai, China. Both tournaments are listed on DraftKings but FanDuel just has the WGC event so that is the one I will be concentrating on this week in my article. As with any World Golf Championship event, the field is very strong and includes last weeks winner and new World #1 Brooks Koepka along with seven of the Top 10 and 35 of the World's Top 50 golfers. For the third straight week, this is a shortened field, no-cut event with 78 players battling for the title. From a fantasy strategy standpoint, it is much more viable to go with a stars and scrubs approach as al six of your players will play all four rounds. Since this WGC event moved to China, the Sheshan International GC has hosted it each year. We have seen the winning scores vary a bit over the five years with Justin Rose winning at -14 and Bubba Watson winning at -11 but the in each of the other three years it has been a birdie fest with a winning score south of -20. The one thing that remains constant over those five years are the hard to hit fairways as the field has averaged just over 50% driving accuracy in that time. What has separated the players at the top of leaderboard here has been that accuracy as the average fairways hit for the Top 10 in those five years is right around 59% which in turn has helped those players hit 67% of the greens vs. the overall field average of 58%. Not only will I be concentrating on Strokes Gained: Off the Tee and...

Daily Fantasy PGA Picks and Betting Guide for DraftKings & FanDuel – The CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges Chris will be bringing you weekly PGA picks, analysis, and breakdowns to help you cash on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Grab your copy today and edge out the competition.   The CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges This week the PGA Tour travels to JeJu Island in Korea for the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges, the second tournament of the three-event Asian swing. This event was added to the schedule last season so course history is at a minimum, especially considering the windy conditions during that event. The field is very strong once again this year with two of the World's Top 5 golfers teeing it up including Player of the Year Brooks Koepka and defending champion at this event, Justin Thomas. Joining them are 22 other players who rank inside the Top 50 in Official World Golf Rankings most notably Jason Day, Hideki Matsuyama, and last weeks winner Marc Leishman. Like last week, the event is a short field of 78 players and will once again have no cut. The course is listed on the scorecard as just shy of 7,200 yards and is a Par 72 setup with the standard four Par 3's, four Par 5's, and 10 Par 4 holes. Despite the windy conditions a year ago, the fairways were hit at 72.5% clip which goes to show the level of difficulty off the tee. If the wind is down this year like it shows in the forecast that number is likely going to exceed 75%. For me, this takes some emphasis off Strokes Gained: Off the Tee and adds a ton of emphasis on Strokes Gained: Approach which will be my top stat this week. Looking at some quotes from players last year(via Future of Fantasy Golfanac), the greens are big and can be tricky with undulation meaning Proximity is a place I will concentrate on heavily as well. Looking at the 10 Par 4 holes, eight of them are under 450 yards and produced 43% of all birdies on the week. When looking at Par...

Grab your copy today and edge out the competition.   CIMB Classic The second event of the new season takes the PGA Tour to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the CIMB Classic. It is a small, no-cut event with 78 players in the field including 10 spots reserved for the top Asian players in the world. TPC Kuala Lumpur is definitely not one of the most challenging courses as a 7,005 yard, Par 72 setup with easy to hit fairways and greens. One thing to note about the course is that it went through a renovation since last year that saw the green surfaces converted from Paspalum to TifEagle Bermuda and will run a lot firmer than previous years. The winner over the last three years has shot into the -20's and the average score over the last five years is -21. There will be a ton of birdies(average of over 1300 over the last three years) putting a ton of emphasis on Strokes Gained: Approach and Birdie or Better % which will be easily my top two stats this week. With that said, let's take a look at the rolling report in each of those stat categories coming into this week(via Fantasy National Golf Club).

Grab your copy today and edge out the competition.   Safeway Open The short PGA Tour offseason is over and it's to reset the FedEx Cup points, introduce some new names coming from the Web.com Tour, and start grinding another DFS golf season. To kick things off, the players will head to Napa, California for the Safeway Open at Silverado Resort and Spa(North Course). Like most of these fall events, the field is definitely on the weaker side as only two of the Top 25(Mickelson-24 & Cantlay-22) and 22 of the Top 100 players in the World are teeing it up this week. This means some inflated prices for some players who you would use to be a lot cheaper towards the end of the season. The key to these events is finding the right players in the mid to low tiers who are either rookies coming from the Web.com Tour or just young players in general who are coming in with some form and fit the course. Looking at the course, Silverado has narrow, tree-lined fairways which put emphasis on Strokes Gained: Off the Tee and those who are more accurate should have an advantage in hitting more greens. With the field averaging around 50%-55% fairways hit and around 65% greens in regulation hit over the last four years(via Future of Fantasy Golfanac), I will also be looking closely at Good Drive % this week. Ball Striking form is what I am looking at the most coming into this week and the Approach side of that is what I concentrate on a little more than off the tee when weighing them in my model. Finally, I always have Par 5 Scoring ahead of Par 4 scoring on Par 72 courses, especially here as abotu 40% of all birdies made come from those four holes. With all that said, let's take a look at the course breakdown below and then get into the...
