Jason Day finally won his first major after being so close for so long. Good for him. Even though he was paired up with Spieth, and he no doubt had the weight of potentially falling short again on his shoulders, he was unflappable. At no point on Sunday did I ever think he was going […]
Hey, remember this? I’ll be honest, that doesn’t really look like a bunker to me either, Dustin. In any event, the PGA Championship returns to the scene of the crime Whistling Straits this week. The course is a tough par 72 that may or may not actually favor bombers. What we do know for sure […]
These WGCs sure are fun, huh? Elite fields, tough (but fair) courses, and a lot of movement on Sundays. In the span of an hour, I went from scooping all my games, to getting shut out, and finally back to cashing across the board. At one point, after bogeys from Bubba, Streb, Webb, Keegan, and […]
As DFS players, we’re thrown a bit of a curveball this week. The WGC Bridgestone Invitational features a field of only 77 players, and there is no cut. No Friday cut sweats. Two-thirds of the field will receive an order of finish bonus on DK. Swing for the fences, guys. The Bridgestone is played at […]
Troy Merritt’s last six tournaments: CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, 1st (what.), and he hadn’t posted a round in the 60s in over a month. It was tough to see this win coming. Well, for me at least. There were a couple of guys in the Drive the Green that did see it coming (we’ll […]
This week, the PGA Tour swings through Northern Virginia for TIGER’s tournament, the Quicken Loans National. It’s an invitational event featuring 120 golfers as opposed to the standard 156. This event has traditionally been played at Congressional, but this year it moves to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The RTJGC has not previously held […]
So… I think the strategy this week was to just pencil in the two best golfers in the field and fill out the rest of your roster with obvious value plays and guys with good course history. Who knew it was that simple to win lots of money? The top 33 entries in DraftKings’ Drive […]
Up this week is golf’s fifth major the RBC Canadian Open coming to us from Glen Abbey in Ontario. Here’s a scorecard and a hole-by-hole tour if you want to get a feel for the course. The Canadian Open is similar to the U.S. Open in that it rotates amongst different courses year-to-year, so […]
16th Hole: SSSPPPIIIEEEEEEEEEEEETTTHHH!!! 17th Hole: It’s okay, he can birdie 18. 18th Hole: ((Phone ringing in backswing)) Uhhhhhh. GG Grand Slam. I had 0% Spieth ownership this week, but I was still rooting for him to keep his magical run alive. Not since prime Tiger have I been this invested in a golfer’s performance; I’m […]
Golf’s third major of 2015 kicks off early Thursday morning; and unless you’re a degenerate like me, you’ll be sleeping, so set your DVRs. The Open Championship returns to the birthplace of golf: The Old Course at St. Andrews. Here are a few quick facts about the course: It will play roughly 7,300 yards. The […]
Eighteen holes in, it looked like Jordan Spieth wanted nothing to do with the Quad Cities. Some DFS higher-ups were either bracing for a MC/WD or bragging about their 0% Spieth ownership. Fifty-four Fifty-six holes later, there he was, raising another trophy on the 18th green. Spieth posted rounds of 64 and 61 on Friday […]
Up this week is the birdie bonanza otherwise known as the John Deere Classic. The tournament will be played at TPC Deere Run; a 7,258-yard par-71 course that traditionally plays as the easiest course on tour (scorecard). The last five winners have finished between -19 and -26! Don’t be fooled by the seemingly average course […]
