Course and Weather Notes: Always fun getting a new course in the major rotation as it helps to level the playing field with no course history and everyone in the same boat with trying to guess how the conditions will be and how tough it’s going to play. In my opinion, I think we get a similar type winner to last week with around -10 to -12 and although it should play harder than traditional PGA Championships, there are still birdies out there with 2-3 short par 4s, 2 Par 5s, and then the rest of the Par 4s and Par 3s extremely difficult. While I think that there will be unknowns all week and a lot of narratives created around guys from California, guys who are good in majors (i.e. Brooks and Xander), and how thick or not thick the rough is going to be, I definitely will be putting a greater emphasis on guys who can hit fairways, guys who are good around the greens (not because the greens are small but because out of the rough you might have to get up and down from 20-25 yards after a hack), and guys who excel on long approaches (over 200 yards) with longer par 5s and 7 Par 4s over 450 yards.

SuperDraft Ranks and Thoughts

Both DFSKarma and myself have been getting more and more exposure and interest to SuperDraft and I wanted to begin to give some thoughts and ranks for those contests as they do things a little bit differently and although I’m still new and learning I think there is a definite edge to be had with less sharks, no salary cap to worry about, and a different roster construction compared to FanDuel and DraftKings. Below I will post how scoring is done and my favorite 15 guys to build in a 6-person lineup. There are no salaries so if you wanted to take the top 6 ranked players in the world, you can do that if you please (doesn’t seem like a +EV strategy). As you’ll note, the lower quality player, the higher the multiplier they get for fantasy points and the top dogs, such as DJ/Fleetwood/Brooks, etc won’t get nearly the same bonuses but can be expected to outperform the lower tier guys.

My strategy for this week is to focus more on players with some consistency, both recent and long term, and mix in maybe a flier or two in each lineup. Interesting multipliers given this week as some guys who are very cheap/I expect to be low owned on DK or FD are kind of priced up in multipliers as guys like Ryan Palmer/Harris English I like quite a bit but we’re only getting 1.10/1.15 on those two, respectively. Below are the ranks but some highlights that I like a lot are Jason Day who I think is live to win, Chez Reavie who should be chalk but has a great multiplier, Henley, Spieth, and Rickie Fowler. Rickie having the same multiplier as English and higher than Palmer is definitely interesting… any top studs not on here are viable but I can’t list all the favorites. The last thing I would consider is that the PGA Professionals in the field may have super high multipliers but I don’t expect any except maybe 1 random to make the cut so you can cross off most of them along the bottom tier.
