Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- CIMB Classic

OVERVIEW

Welcome to the first NO CUT event of the 2017-2018 season! This is an event that’s been dominated by two players over the past four years with Justin Thomas and Ryan Moore collecting back-to-back wins. One thing I will say before getting to the plays is that there is some overlap in correlation between the Safeway & CIMB as far as results go, so if you’re the type that likes the correlation in scoring place, that’s a good place to make 1v1 or 2v2 swaps. Call it form or recent play, but there’s something there to consider. Outside of that, I say lean on the guys who have stronger course history than others and get aggressive in your GPP lineups this week. 3-4 chalk plays and fliers on the guys in the MME section is going to be key this week.
