Wells Fargo Championship After another exciting Zurich Classic team event at TPC Louisiana, the PGA Tour gets back to its regular schedule with the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship. The event moves back to its regular home, Quail Hollow Club, after being moved to Eagle Point Golf Club in 2017 as Quail Hollow was used for the PGA Championship in August. For the course history section on the cheatsheet this week I will be looking at the results from 2012 to 2016 only. We have the strongest field since the Masters this week as six of the Top 10(Thomas, Fowler, McIlroy, Matsuyama, Koepka, Reed) and 25 of the Top 50 players in the world teeing it up at Quail Hollow. As mentioned above, the course was used last season for the PGA Championship and eventually rated as the hardest course on Tour in 2017 as only 12 players in the field shot under par led by winner Justin Thomas. This year, the course won't play quite as hard PGA setup and should be much more like the setup we have seen in years past for the Wells Fargo. It will still play hard, however, as the Par 71 setup stretches out to just over 7,500 yards and if you aren't a bomber, you better be accurate as the fairways are small and are guarded by water hazards, sand, and some tougher than normal rough. Then there is the closing stretch of holes that can eat up a players score in short period of time. The Green Mile(Holes 16, 17, and 18) is annually considered one of the toughest closing stretches in all of golf. Check out the video below before we jump into the course overview, strends, top stats, and of course the picks.

Valero Texas Open This week the PGA Tour heads back to Texas to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open. It's another weak field event as just one of the World's Top 10(Sergio Garcia) and eight of the Top 50 golfers will be teeing it up this week. This makes pricing a bit inflated, especially for the high-end golfers which can ultimately push us to a more balanced roster construction, at least from a cash game standpoint. The course is a Greg Norman design from 2010 with Sergio as the PGA Tour consultant. It has narrow Oak Tree-lined fairways with a ton native areas and while there is very little water, there are a ton of deep, challenging bunkers. The Oaks course is also a lengthy 7,435 yards so focusing on long hitters is a good strategy as well. There have been some shorter players off the tee who have done well here and if you are looking at some of them this week just make sure they are on point with their long irons and sand game. The average winning score here over the last five years has been -11 so it definitely won't be a birdie fest although I am always weighing Birdie or Better % as it correlates very highly with DraftKings scoring. The other big factor here at TPC San Antonio is the wind so using the multiple sources available(Fantasy National, Future of Fantasy Golfanac) to pick out some strong wind players is definitely a good idea. The forecast is, by no surprise, calling for 12-16 mph winds for Thursday and Friday with guts in the 20 mph range. As of Tuesday, it appears the Thursday afternoon wave may be the one to target if doing a wind stack in GPP formats but be sure to check back on that forecast as lineup lock...

RBC Heritage Another Masters is in the books and for the fourth straight season, the winner made the historic event his first Major Championship. Patrick Reed went into the final round with a three-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy who was chasing the career Grand Slam but it was Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler who put up the biggest fight on Sunday. Spieth made nine birdies and shot a 64 en route to a third-place finish while Fowler came on strong on the back nine with four birdies including one on the 18th to take the Clubhouse lead at -14. Reed walked onto the 18th tee needing only a par to grab the Green Jacket and he did just that with a GIR followed by a two-putt. It was an amazing performance for Reed who led the field in birdies and also added two eagles as well. This week the PGA Tour travels to Hilton Head, South Carolina for the RBC Heritage from Harbour Town Golf Links. The course is a Pet Dye design so you are going to see a shorter course with tree-lined fairways and very small Bermuda greens. It's a big change for those that played Augusta last week as driver distance is not key here but rather hitting the fairways and placing the ball in the right areas to have a shot at the difficult to hit greens. As you will see from my key stats below, Strokes Gained: Off the Tee with emphasis on accuracy will be key along with Strokes Gained: Around the Green/Scrambling. With the course also being a Par 71, that means 11 Par 4 holes this week so I will also be looking at that closely as a key stat especially form key distances. Let's now take a look at some trends, the course, and then dig into some picks focusing on Course...

The Masters Masters week is finally here! Even the casual golf fan realizes the magnitude of this iconic tournament hosted at Augusta National Golf Club. It was Sergio Garcia who, after 73 previous Majors starts, finally broke through here at Augusta and became the Masters Champion last season. It was an epic battle on back nine with Justin Rose that eventually went to a sudden-death playoff where Garcia's two-putt par was enough to take home the hardware and his first ever Major Championship. This year he will look to defend his title against a star-studded field that includes nine of the Top 10 and 49 of the World's Top 50 players. Four-time Masters Champion, Tiger Woods, is also back in the field here at Augusta and has been making the move up the Official World Golf Ranking list as he started outside of 650th before the Hero World Challenge in December and has made his way to #103 entering the week with back to back Top 5 finishes at the Valspar Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Masters also marks the first DraftKings Milli Maker of the year and with that, we get some very soft pricing. From a strategy standpoint, this is a great week to construct your lineups and leave salary on the table to separate your lineups from the field. I am not just talking a couple hundred but rather $500-$1,000 in some spots, especially if running multiple lineups. Also, keep in mind that the cut this week is the Top 50 players and ties through two days along with any player that is within 10 strokes of the lead. Let's now take a look at the course makeup and preview some of the top stats. The Course Augusta National Par 72 - 7,435 Yards Greens - Bentgrass Greens **Click HERE or the pic above to see a...

Houston Open Welcome back to another week of daily fantasy golf. I was off last week where we saw Bubba Watson take down the WGC Del Technologies Match Play and Brice Garnett get his first career victory at the fresh new event, the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. With just one week until the Masters, the PGA Tour travels to Texas for the Houston Open. For those who are already in the field for the Masters, it is a terrific tune-up event as the Golf Club of Houston staff does everything they can to replicate some of the features at Augusta such as shaved banks, fast greens, and thin rough. It isn't exactly like Augusta as the scores here are about double that of the Masters so don't put the blinders on and just use that correlation. Here are a couple quotes from players that can really help in narrowing down what is important here at GC of Houston. For more quotes, be sure to head over to Future of Fantasy and check out the Golfanac. This weeks field is a strong one with three of the Top 10(Spieth, Rose, Fowler) and seven of the Top 25 golfers in the world in action. The defending champion is Russell Henley who took down the tournament last year with a winning score of -20 and over the last five years at this event, we have seen an average winning score of -16. Let's dig in and take a look at the course trends, top stats in the model, and then some of my top picks when looking at course history, current form and stats.
