Let’s start with a little bit of bookkeeping. Jason Day has withdrawn from today’s pro-am at The Barclays due to injury, and Dustin Johnson has also withdrawn from said pro-am citing illness. I think I’d completely move off of Day and only keep a limited number of DJ GPP lineups in play. With Day, the…
I’d like to start off by congratulating all six people out there who had Davis Love III this week. Really nice work, guys. Next, I’d like to apologize to anyone who hopped aboard the Billy Ho train with me. What a colossal failure that pick was. Finally, a little bit of positive news… the Drive…
This isn’t your standard “week after a major” field. The Wyndham Championship is the final tournament before the FedEx Cup gets underway; and as such, a number of big names are here chasing points. Adam Scott, Jason Dufner, Luke Donald, Charl Schwartzel, and Tiger Woods all need big weeks if they want to extend their…
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…
