The Course Riviera Country Club Par 71 - 7,322 Yards Greens - Poa **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2021 - Max Homa(-12) 2020 - Adam Scott(-11) 2019 - JB Holmes(-14) 2018 - Bubba Watson(-12) 2017 - Dustin Johnson(-17) It was one hell of a sweat last week, but I grabbed a second outright of the season and a nice return in DFS thanks to Scottie Scheffler's win over Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. The only thing that could have made it better was being there to see not only the win but the chaos of raining beer cans on Hole #16 with a hole in one on both Saturday(Sam Ryder) and Sunday(Carlos Ortiz) as well as the crazy celebrations by Joel Dahmen and Harry Higgs after birdie putts. Overall, another tremendous WM Phoenix Open. This week the players face a much harder test as an elite field, which includes each of the OWGR Top 10, heads to Riviera Country Club for the Genesis Invitational. Riviera has rated as a Top 10 hardest scoring courses in three of the last four years and that includes the Majors! The course is demanding off the tee(average around 51% fairways hit last 5 years) and just as demanding on approach(average 58% GIR last 5 years) despite average-sized greens. On the greens, the golfers will once again see firm and fast poa greens. My stats model on the sheet this week is heavily geared towards form and players with a solid tee to green game. I don't think hitting the fairway is essential(Top 10 finishers last year averaged under 50%) but if targeting a less than accurate driver just have a closer look at rough proximity or good drive %. This usually goes hand in hand with the longer hitters as they...

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...

Head on over to my Patreon Page. The West Coast swing continues this week as the PGA Tour visits Riviera Country Club for the Genesis Invitational. Before this season it was a 144-man open field but will now consist of 121 invited players(119 in the field) in an absolutely stacked field led by nine of the Top 10 players in the World. From a DFS standpoint especially, this week feels like a major in terms of pricing as there are a ton of players who have seen $500 to $1000 drops in price compared to the other events to start the season. This most definitely opens up a more balanced lineup construction but it also helps in stars and scrubs builds as the scrubs aren't that scrubby(compared to other weeks). The thing I am most excited about this week is that we are back to a single course and 54-hole cut(Top 65 and ties) after another multi-course rotation last week. Riviera Country Club has been the host course at this event going all the way back to 1973 when it was the Northern Trust Open. It held that name up until 2017 when it changed to the Genesis Open for each of the last two years. In terms of difficulty, the course has ranked as a Top 10 hardest course on Tour in two straight and three of the past five years, ranking 21st and 23rd in the other two years. The fairways are tight, the Kikuyu rough can be tricky to play out of in certain spots, and the greens are also smaller than Tour average which leads to a tougher event overall. Looking at some stats over the last five years of play here, the average fairways hit has been between 50-55% and the average Greens in Regulation in the 55-60% range. Despite this, the winning score has hit double digits in each of the last four years...
