The FedEx Cup Playoffs are now just a week away where one golfer will come out on top with the hardware and a cool 10 million dollars. Before the Playoffs begin we have one more tournament, the Wyndham Championship, where golfers outside the Top 125 will have one more shot to squeeze their way into the field for The Northern Trust next week. On the cheatsheet this week I added each golfers FedEx Cup Rank to make it easier to see where everyone fits in the grand scheme of things. I don't think it is wise to solely concentrate on the narrative of playing guys around the bubble but think it will definitely help make some key decisions between certain players who are playing for their season. Here is a peek at the five players below and above the cut line going into the week: Above - Blair(120), Hearn(121), Werenski(122), Power(123), Summerhays(124), Ogilvy(125) Below - Tringale(126), Saunders(127), Palmer(128), Hurley(129), Poston(130) The Wyndham Championship dates back to 1970 and started with Sedgefield CC being the host course up until 1977 when it shifted to Forest Oaks CC just down the road. The tournament remained at Forest Oaks until 2008 when it shifted back to Sedgefield. Another note about Sedgefield itself is that they made the switch from Bentgrass to Champion Bermuda on the greens back in 2012. This matches up perfectly for the past five years course history model that I use on my cheatsheet. The Donald Ross design challenges players off the tee on almost every hole with strategically placed bunkers, hazards, trees, and thick rough. This will force players to use less than driver on a lot of the Par 4's to ensure ball placement to have a shot at the green. I am not totally discounting distance as last year only one player inside the Top...

The tournament rotates courses each year and for the first time will be hosted by the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. While Quail Hollow has not hosted a major, it has hosted the Wells Fargo Championship annually since 2003(was Wachovia Champ from 2002-2008) and I have added the past five years results to the cheatsheet. I will be weighing that course history a little lower than usual as the team at Quail Hollow made some big changes to the course following the 2016 wells Fargo Championship. I wrote about some of the changes in my Early Thoughts Article over on my blog. The big takeaway is that the course is now playing longer and will now be a Par 71(previously Par 72). The other major player this week will be the rain as there is about a 50% chance or great of thunderstorms from Friday through Sunday. Stay tuned to my weather updates which I have now added to my cheatsheet. From a fantasy perspective, I won't be putting a ton of emphasis on the Milli Maker as I don't particularly like the payout structure, especially if you are not max entering like many will be doing this week. I did win a couple satellite tickets and with those,  will be attempting to go a bit contrarian to form a unique lineup. To do this I will be using a combination of tools starting with the FanShare Sports Most Tagged List that I go over at the bottom of this article. I will also be using the ownership projections from Fantasy National Golf Club. The emphasis this week will be most definitely be hitting the fairways here at Quail Hollow and with the added length and high chances of wet...

Before jumping into my picks and breakdown, be sure to jump over to my blog and check out my Early Thoughts article. Glen Abbey Golf Club is a standard Par 72 setup with four Par 3's, four Par 5's and 11 Par 4 holes. It has narrow fairways and some challenging doglegs that will force players to have to get the ball in the right position to have a shot at the green. The first cut of rough is very manageable so we will likely see guys ripping it as far as they can to get wedges into their hands to attempt to hit the smallish greens. I was originally going to weight Strokes Gained Off the Tee with emphasis on Driving Accuracy but will now be looking more in the direction of Good Drive % to go with SG: OTT. With the greens being smaller than average, I will also be weighing Strokes Gained Around the Green and Scrambling. The last two stats that I will be leaning heavily on this week are Par 5 Scoring and Birdie or Better %. All four Par 5 holes should be reachable in two by the entire field as they all range between 524 and 558 yards on the scorecard. At least 50% of a players score will come from these holes. Don't believe me? Head over to FantasyNational.com and search RBC Canadian Open at the top and then sort by Par 5 for the years the tournament was held here. In 2016, 18 of the 22 players finishing Top 20 gained strokes on Par 5's and in 2015, 20 of the 21 players inside the Top 20 gained strokes on the Par 5's.  ...

The season's third Major Championship has arrived and will return to the historic Royal Birkdale Golf Club for the tenth time in its history. The Birkdale Golf Club itself dates back to 1889 when it was formed. Royal Birkdale Golf Club hosted its first OPEN in 1954 with the winner, Peter Thomson, becoming a legend in these parts. He picked five OPEN titles in all, two of which came here. The first and the last.  The most recent winner of the OPEN here at Royal Birkdale is Padraig Harrington who hoisted the Claret Jug back in 2008 with a winning score of +3. That is only the second time since 1999 the winning score has come in above par. The wind was the major factor in 2008 as it howled around 20-25 mph all week with some huge gusts. The course is a links setup and the wind itself can affect scoring by multiple shots and is the number one defense. The second defense system is something we don't often see on links courses with narrow flat fairways. The extremely penal rough is also present which is going to put a huge amount of weight not only on Strokes Gained Off the Tee but with emphasis on Driving Accuracy.  There are some risk/reward holes(Hole # 5 comes to mind) where longer hitters can cut some of the doglegs but the penalty is huge for missing so we can expect a ton of "placement" drives this week. Proof of this is the news that Phil Mickelson will not be using a driver this week, rather turning to his trusty 3-wood that he used to win the 2013 OPEN at Muirfield. He has instead opted...

This week the PGA Tour travels to the TPC Deere Run for the 2017 John Deere Classic. Right off the top we have one of the weakest fields of the year as most of the big names have traveled to the Scottish Open in preparation for the Open Championship next week. That leaves us with just one player who sits inside the Top 20 in the Official World Golf Rankings(Daniel Berger-20th) and just seven of the Top 50 players. This doesn't mean it's a bad week for DFS, especially considering the tournaments on DraftKings are far more inviting than those of the Scottish Open despite the difference in field strength. The TPC Deere Run course is always set up to favor scoring as it consistently ranks as one of the easiest courses on Tour with an average winning score of -21 over the past five years. Looking over the course, driving distance is much less of a factor this week with emphasis on placement of the drives to get a clean look at the large greens. This has me looking closely at Strokes Gained Off the Tee and Driving Accuracy. Then I will be looking even closer at Strokes Gained Approach as this is where the tournament will be won and lost. It will be important to not only get it on the greens but to get it close to the pin(Proximity) for better chances at birdies in this WEB.com Tour scoring fest. Par 4 and 5 scoring are factored with Par 4 slightly ahead as right around 50% of the total birdies for each of the last three JD Classic's have come from the Par 4 holes. Even though there are only three Par 5's, scoring on them will be important to keep up with the field as at...
