This week presents us a ton of options as we get two events with the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play and alternate Corales Championship. In this article, I will be focusing on the Match Play event which is one of my favorite events of the season, both from a fantasy and viewership perspective. Before we get into the picks, I wanted to spend some time going over the structure of the event because if you don't understand it, you will get left in the dust. The field of 64 players will be split into 16 groups of four players in a bracket-style setup Each golfer plays each of the other three golfers in their group over the first three days The winner of each group then moves to the Round of 16 which will be played on Saturday morning followed by the Quarterfinals in the afternoon On Sunday, we get two semifinal matches in the morning followed by the third-place match and final in the afternoon I have also added an additional bracket tab to the sheet for an easy view during lineup builds. It may be harder to see in the pic below but is clear on the sheet. Now let's take a look at the DraftKings scoring for this match play style of event: Hole won → 3 points Hole halved → .75 points Hole lost → -.75 points Hole not played → 1.6 points Match won → 5 points Match halved → 2 points Streak of 3+ birdies → 5 points No holes lost bonus → 7.5 points When it comes to lineup construction this week, the...

This week the PGA Tour returns to ground zero, in a way, as the 2020 PLAYERS Championship was canceled after the first round when the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In terms of golf, Hideki Matsuyama was rocked the most by the news as he opened the event with an incredible nine-under-par 63 and since the cancelation, has just two Top 10 finishes in his last 22 events. Can he re-create that magic again this week? A year later things are finally started to get back to normal for the PGA Tour as we have started to see fans trickle back into these events and it has sure provided a boost to some.....cough cough Bryson DeChambeau. If you missed it this past Saturday, here is a replay of the mammoth drive. As always, the field of 154 for this year's event is absolutely loaded with each of the Top 10 and 48 of the Top 50 golfers in the Official World Golf Rankings teeing it up this week. The host course is the iconic TPC Sawgrass, best known for the famous island-green, 17th hole but the classic Pete-Dye setup is also known as one of the toughest tests in golf. Off the tee, golfers see narrow driving areas with dangers everywhere between sand bunkers and water which is in play on 17 of 18 holes. Because of this, we will see a lot of "less than driver" gameplans in an attempt to find the fairway or at least positioning to have a shot at the smaller than average green complexes. When breaking down the ball Striking metric, I have Strokes...
Daily Fantasy PGA Picks and Betting Guide for DraftKings & FanDuel – Arnold Palmer Invitational

The Florida swing continues this week as the PGA Tour visits Bay Hill Club & Lodge for the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational. We get another strong field led by Tyrrell Hatton(#6), Rory McIlroy(#8), and Patrick Reed(#9) who are all ranked inside the Top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Bay Hill is a course that will challenge the best golfers in world no matter the weather conditions. It has ranked inside the Top 15 hardest courses in terms of scoring average in each of the last four years and ranked #1 last year after four days of wind. It starts off the tee where we will see some "less than driver" gameplans with dangers in the form of water, well-placed bunkers in the 300-yard landing zone, and the need for positioning to have a clear shot at the greens on some of the dogleg holes. This has led to an average driving distance around 290 yards which then leads to a ton of long iron approach shots. This shows as over 29% of all approaches have come from the 200+ yard range(via FNGC). The event will also have a cut of Top 65 and ties after round two but despite that, I am heavily on stars and scrubs early in the week with so many values that stand out. Before getting into the picks, let's look at the course and the top stats in my model.

Normally the PGA Tour would be heading South to Mexico for this World Golf Championship but once again COVID-19 has forced a schedule change. Instead, the Florida swing will start a week ahead of schedule with a newly sponsored WGC event, the Workday Championship. With any WGC event, the field is absolutely loaded with each of the Top 10 and 48 of the Top 50 players in the World teeing it up this week. The host course will be the Jack Nickalus-designed Concession Golf Club which is a par 72 that stretches over 7,400 yards and features Bermuda greens. We don't have much data to point us to how this will play out but just looking at the course overview on the PGA Tour website, it is easy to tell this will be a challenge for the golfers. It is a typical Florida course in that there is a ton of water in play(13 of 18 holes) and it is combined with a whopping 73 bunkers. It doesn't end there as the most unique and challenging part of the course(projecting) appears to be the greens. Overall, they are slightly smaller than average(6,000 sq ft) and very undulated with lots of run-off areas. It is going to take a complete game to contend here so from a fantasy perspective, I will be targeting players who are in form in almost all areas. Be sure to check out my top stats in my model below and then we will get into the picks. Also, remember this is a no-cut event and all players will get four rounds which can lead to a more stars...

A loaded field of 121 players led by World #1 Dustin Johnson will take on one of the toughest tests on the regular PGA rotation. Before getting into the picks, let's take a look at the course, the previous winners, and some of the key stats in my model this week. The Course Riviera Country Club Par 71 - 7,332 Yards Greens - Poa **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2020 - Adam Scott(-11) 2019 - J.B. Holmes(-14) 2018 - Bubba Watson(-12) 2017 - Dustin Johnson(-17) 2016 - Bubba Watson(-15) Top Stats in the Model When breaking down the top stats I use a combination of my own cheatsheet and the tools over at FantasyNational.com. Strokes Gained: Ball Striking The fairways are narrow and the rough is not as penal (average 2" high) and with the course playing longer than listed(six Par 4's over 450 yards) I will be looking at Driving Distance more than anything when breaking down off the tee stats. I won't rule out a player who is shorter off the tee but they will need to check a lot more boxes to make my player pool this week. From a correlation standpoint, SG: Approach was nearly double as important in each of the last two years when the course played inside the Top 10 hardest courses. With Fantasy National, I also look at Opportunities Gained as they correlate very highly. With an average fairway's hit around 50-55% annually here combined with rough that...
