Putting for Dough – PGA DFS

Summary of Last Week: Congratulations to Adam Long! Who??? Yes, I know, no one I know even touched on this name, including Al & I. However, like I said, they are all good! Some are just more consistent than others.

Well, The Desert Classic played out like we thought. However, I think I jinxed myself when I made the statement that you’re guaranteed three rounds by every player without a WD…….cue Pat Perez and his thumb! Yes, it ticked me off because I had a couple of lineups that were really set up to get 6/6 into Sunday. I also found myself with more lineups than, in hindsight, I wished I had with him in it. However, as mad as I was at Pat Perez, some of my other guys faltered as the cut line grew to an impressive 9 under par. This, again, was an unusual format and we move back to the normal Friday cut this week.

PGA DFS: Desert Classic DraftKings Plays

PGA DFS has created a significant following over the past few years. Which is the best thing that could have happened to the sport, next to Tiger making his all world comeback of course. This overflow of PGA DFS players has snowballed in the right direction, creating a wide variety of contests on our go to DFS sites (DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo, and even DRAFT). The players that have put in the work are sharper than ever. The content is vast and can be somewhat overwhelming. If you have ever asked yourself who do I trust? Who am I going to believe in enough to put my hard-earned money on the line for? Raise your hand. My hand is up. Now put your hand down and listen. Here at FullTime Fantasy Sports we want to take the guess work out of it for you. DFS is a sport in and of itself and if we aren’t willing to put in the research, it will hinder our long-term ROI. Majority of DFS players got into this because they love sports, some got into DFS to make money, and others got into this to TAKE money. That is where we come in at FullTime Fantasy Sports, we want to TAKE what we deserve because we don’t cut corners, we don’t glance over articles, we don’t throw in uneducated lineups.  We are WINNERS. Now let’s go WIN.  Your DraftKings lineup is made up of 6 golfers you choose within a $50,000 salary cap. Quick tip: you can create an edge by simply not using all $50,000 of your salary cap.  Throughout this article, I will be giving you my Top-Notch options, Salary Savers, Tourney Treasures, and one Sneaky Suspicion. I will also provide a FADE of the week to help you create an edge against all competition. Let’s dive in!   COURSE OVERVIEW  Welcome to lovely La Quinta, CA where not one, not two, but three courses are on the docket for this week’s tournament. The event’s pro-am format will utilize TPC Stadium Course at PGA West (7,113/72), PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament course (7,159/72) and La Quinta CC (7,060/72) in the first three rounds. All three courses will be played by each golfer and cut day will be on Saturday instead of your normal Friday cut line. Giving golfers a guaranteed 54-hole week, an edge needs to be created by golfers that can score in bunches. The remaining golfers after the 54-hole cut will play the Stadium course for their final round. I’ll note the Stadium Course is a Pete Dye design. His signature courses are littered with deep bunkers, water lined fairways, and raised greens. Fun Fact– Last year only two golfers in the top 20 started their tournaments at the Stadium Course. Scoring average round 1 at Stadium course was -1.1 compared to -3.5 at La Quinta and -3.3 at Nicklaus course.   Tournament History Past Champions and Runners up 2018- Jon Rahm 1st -Andrew Landry 2nd 2017- Hudson Swafford 1st – Adam Hadwin 2nd 2016- Jason Dufner 1st – 2nd not in field- Phil Mickelson 3rd 2015- Bill Haas 1st – Brendan Steele & Charley Hoffman tied for 2nd Bill Haas, Adam Hadwin, Ryan Palmer, Brendan Steele, Hudson Swafford, and Charles Howell have gained the most strokes the past five years during this tournament. Other notable golfers who have gained strokes total in this field include Lucas Glover, Bud Cauley, Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson, Chez Reavie, and of course Jon Rahm. Fun Fact– Adam Hadwin has never shot over par in 16 rounds at this event. Super Impressive!   Statistical Breakdown Every Tournament is a little bit different when it comes to statistical breakdowns. I will give my favorite stats that I believe correlate the best to fit our tournament course for that given week. This week is tough, we are not dealing with our normal single course tournament. Remember we are pulling from three different courses this week. The key stats I am narrowing my focus on are as follows:   Strokes Gained Tee to Green (SG:T2G) Top 5– in order over past 36 rounds Kevin Streelman Jon Rahm Si Woo Kim Roberto Castro Zach Johnson   Strokes Gained Approach (SG:APP) Top 5– in order over past 36 rounds Kevin Streelman Bronson Burgoon Chez Reavie Pat Perez Brandon Harkins   Strokes Gained Around the Green (SG:ARG) Top 5– in order over past 36 rounds Bud Cauley Brian Gay Si Woo Kim Chad Collins- not playing DA Points- not playing   Birdie or Better % (BoB%) Top 5– in order over past 36 rounds Phil Mickelson Ryan Palmer Jon Rahm Bronson Burgoon Kevin Streelman   DraftKings Pts Top 5– in order over past 36 rounds Phil Mickelson Martin Piller Bronson Burgoon Kevin Streelman Jon Rahm Fun Fact– 8 of the 9 winners of the Desert Classic played in at least 1 of the 2 Hawaii events in the year they won. Additionally, each of the past 6 winners played in the event at least once prior. These rankings are based on a mixed model created on Fantasynational.com using my personal rankings and other various factors that best fit these three courses specifically.   Top Notch Options My top ranked golfers in the field based on my rankings in order of pricing. Jon Rahm ($11,600) OGWR 7th– Jon Rahm is deserving of the highest price tag on DK this week. He is an exceptional scorer, with very little weakness in his game he could be one of the few who repeat this season. Not to mention he is top 5 in three of the five stat categories I have listed above. If he gets going early and often, he will be at the top of the leaderboards once again come Sunday. Justin Rose ($11,000) OGWR 1st– When we think about consistency we don’t think about the sport of golf. Golf is the most volatile sport known to man. When we think of Justin Rose we think of consistency. This is rare,

Now let’s go WIN.  FanDuel scoring layout is drastically different than DraftKings so make sure you check the rules before playing in any paid for contest. Fanduel pricing algorithm is also quite different than DraftKings so the sites have quite a few price discrepancies worth taking advantage of. Your FanDuel lineup is made up of 6 golfers you choose within a $60,000 salary cap. Quick tip: you can create an edge by simply not using all $60,000 of your salary cap.  Throughout this article, I will be giving you my Top-Notch options, Salary Savers, Tourney Treasures, and one Sneaky Suspicion.

When we think of Justin Rose we think of consistency. This is rare, it’s like finding your golf ball after you just put it in the middle of the water hazard off the tee. Point being- play Justin Rose in Cash and don’t overthink it. Jon Rahm ($11,900)
