This Week TPC Scottsdale is the host of the Waste Management Phoenix Open (WMPO) as it has been for 30-odd years, and its reputation as a party course is well-maintained with no elaboration needed. The WMPO is a 132-man field
The weekend A reminder that the ShotLink data comes from only one round heading into the weekend – taken from the South course, which is what will be played which helps at least – and that scoring on the North
This Week The Farmers is another course rotation event, taking place at the two Torrey Pines courses (North and South) in San Diego. This is another pro-am, but has a regular two-day cut rule (top-65 and ties), and the rotation
The weekend A reminder: the cut doesn’t come until after the third round, so there’s a possibility to lose some of your weekend golfers. Consider either minimizing risk by just playing Showdown slates – players on La Quinta will be
This Week This week is the American Express – formerly the Desert Classic and CareerBuilder Challenge – which takes place on a three-course rotation and features a three-day cut as opposed to a regular event, thanks to the first 54-holes

This Week The new year is upon us and golf is back, with the Sentry Tournament of Champions taking place in Hawaii, at the Plantation Course at Kapalua. This is a small-field tournament (last year’s winners) with no cut, with
The weekend Random considerations: This might be the toughest weekend of the year for DFS content – it’s a tiny field, there’s no ShotLink, and the DK contests are extraordinarily bad. Write-ups are a little lighter than normal due to
This Week The last “tournament” of the year is this week at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, and it’s an 18-man no-cut event so dialing back exposure this week is always a good idea. There’s no ShotLink data
The weekend Random considerations: The ShotLink data this week is for only one round, as the Plantation course doesn’t get recorded. Most of the pricey players didn’t make the cut, so it’s very easy to make weekend lineups with salary
