An elite field including nine of the Top 10 and 44 of the Top 50 players in the World will be teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass this week . The course is an average length(7,256 yards) Par 72 setup and a classic Pete Dye design that forces a ton of positional play, especially off the tee. Not only do you have to position yourself to have a shot at the small greens, you also have to avoid disaster with water hazards on 17 of 18 holes. This somewhat takes away the advantage of the long bombers and most definitely brings more players into the mix when looking to narrow down your player pool. Looking at the hole design, there is one long Par 3(8th hole-237 yards) and three shorter Par 3's. The Par 4's are pretty standard distance on the front nine outside of the 5th hole that stretches out to 471 yards. On the back nine, there is the exciting risk/reward driveable Par 4 12th hole and the three final Par 4's on the course(14th, 15th, 18th) are all over 450 yards. Add in the famous Island Green 17th hole and players have a very tough closing stretch. While I mentioned distance being not nearly as important here, it can come into play on the Par 5's where the eagle rate has been higher than the Tour average over the last four to five years. Like almost all of the Florida courses and/or Pete Dye courses, it is going to take a strong Tee to Green game to contend but there are a few stats that definitely stand out above the rest in my model. First of all, this is another great week to target Good...

The Course TPC Sawgrass Par 72 - 7,256 Yards Greens - Bermuda **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2021 - Juston Thomas(-14) 2019 - Rory McIlroy(-16) 2018 - Webb Simpson(-18) 2017 - Si Woo Kim(-10) 2016 - Jason Day(-15) This week the "strongest field in golf" heads to TPC Sawgrass for the (all caps)PLAYERS Championship. Last year, it was Justin Thomas hoisting the hardware with a spectacular tee to green effort where he gained 13 strokes on the field. The only reason Lee Westwood, Bryson, and others had a chance was the JT's average putter(+1.6 or 52nd in the field). When looking at the strokes gained data, it was an almost identical win for Rory in 2019 as he gained 13 strokes tee to green en route to winning while finishing 56th in SG: Putting. While we do have a very strong field, it is not categorized as the "toughest" in terms of scoring as it has only ranked inside the Top 15 hardest courses once(2017) in the last five trips to TPC Sawgrass. The field is even stronger than last year as all of the Top 10 and 48 of the Top 50 players in the World will be teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass this week. The course is a Pete Dye gem that, like almost all of his designs, comes with tight fairways, lots of doglegs and hazards forcing accuracy and with TPC Sawgrass in Florida, that means a ton of water(in play on 17 holes). Overall, it is going to take a strong all-around game to beat the best players in the world but below I will go over a few of my key stats in the model this week.

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...

Head on over to my Patreon Page This week the PGA Tour heads to TPC Sawgrass for The PLAYERS Championship and one of the strongest fields in golf. Each of the Top 10 and 47 of the Top 50 players in the world are teeing it up this week and 110 players in the field have at least one PGA Tour win. TPC Sawgrass is a Par 72 listed at 7,189 yards on the scorecard and is a classic Pete Dye design with tight fairways, Bermuda rough(2.5 inches on average), and small Bermuda greens(5,500 sq feet on average). Accuracy off the tee is very important if you want a decent lie and opportunity to hit the smaller greens and this leads to a fairly heavy "less than driver" strategy for most of the field. The second key here is the approach shot to the smaller greens and this is where the winners have mostly separated themselves in past years. Five of the 10 Par 4's are also 450+ yards so there will also be a lot of approaches coming from 175+ yards so players will need to be on with their long irons. With the smaller greens, there is going to be a lower Greens in Regulation % which means getting up and down is very important so Scrambling/Strokes Gained: Around the Green is weighted heavy in my model as well. Finally, with a winning score in the mid-teens on average year to year, Birdie or Better % is a great stat to look at as well, especially if you are playing showdown contests on DraftKings. From a cash game lineup construction perspective, I always like going balanced and this week it makes even more sense as the strong field has lowered the prices on some top players. For GPP formats, balanced also works but stars and scrubs is likely preferred and is easy to do as there are...

The PLAYERS Championship Welcome back golf fans. I hope you enjoyed the Wells Fargo Championship where Jason Day picked up his second win of the season jumping him from #14 to #7 in the World Golf Rankings. It was no walk in the park, however, even with a two-stroke lead entering the final round as he made back to back Bogey's twice on Sunday giving both Aaron Wise and Nick Watney a shot. Day then pulled it all together and went through the Green Mile at -2 giving him a two-stroke win. This week the PGA Tour heads to TPC Sawgrass for the "Fifth Major", The PLAYERS Championship. The course is a Pete Dye design which automatically puts a ton of emphasis on Ball Striking. Strategic placement of the tee is needed with tight, tree-lined fairways with bunkers and water also in play. A shot that not only finds the fairway but also in the right spot will give the player a decent mid to long iron approach into the greens on most of the holes. TPC Sawgrass is one of the hardest tests on Tour and that is why we see the average winning score around -12. The other thing we will see is most of the players score coming from the four Par 5's as they make up for about 45% of the overall birdies on average. This means playing the Par 4's at even par or slightly below will put you ahead of the majority of the field putting you into contention come Sunday. This is one reason I will be focusing on players who are trending on the Par 4's in my model. Let's now take a look at some of the course details, trends, and then we can jump into the picks for the week looking at course history, current form, and the stats. The...
