PGA Pivots & Punts: The Barclays

This is a new article I'm trying out this week.  It is specifically geared towards GPPs; you should not be using these recommendations in cash games.  In the first half, I'm going to use the Expert Consensus to identify some golfers that might…

PGA: The Barclays Preview & Expert Consensus

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  Jason Day has withdrawn from today's pro-am at The Barclays due to injury, and Dustin Johnson has also withdrawn from said pro-am citing illness.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…

PGA: Wyndham Championship Wrap Up & Expert Grades

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…

PGA: Wyndham Championship Preview & Expert Consensus

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,…

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…

PGA: The PGA Championship Preview & Expert Consensus

PGA: WGC Bridgestone Invitational Preview & Expert Consensus

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…

PGA: Quicken Loans National Wrap Up & Expert Grades

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…

PGA: The RBC Canadian Open Wrap Up & Expert Grades

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? …
