This past week was… rough. Jason Day had an injury that turned out to be not so much of a factor. A lot of people were scared off of the eventual winner. If Day really was hurt, I’d hate to see what he does to the field this week after running away with The Barclays. …
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 Jason Day has withdrawn from today’s pro-am at The Barclays due to injury, and Dustin Johnson has also withdrawn from said pro-am citing illness.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…
Another great week for PGA DFS! Bubba Watson defeated Paul Casey on the second playoff hole to win the Travelers Championship. On DraftKings, “bourbonpoker” held off “haveyouheardy” by 1.5 points to win the $100,000 prize. Not bad for $3. Let’s take a look at the winning lineup: Bubba Watson (21.0%) $11800 – 121 Paul Casey…
