Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview-Corales Punta Cana Championship
OVERVIEW
DraftKings has given us another event to degen on this week as they’ve released pricing for the Corales Punta Cana Championship in the Dominican Republic. The big news here is that Tony Romo is in the field, and that’s the extent of my Tony Romo analysis. He got shelled in his last event and ended up withdrawing. I’m sure he’d like to play better under the microscope this week, but let’s get real he’s 37 years old and these guys will go low; I don’t think he comes close to making the cut. Onto actual news, the course is in the Dominican Republic, primarily a flat course that features six oceanside holes and is extremely susceptible to the wind. The fairways are fairly wide and forgiving and my guess is that the course will be setup like a resort course with short rough. You’ll want to target strong tee to green guys, bombers who can putt (does that player even exist in this field?) and strong wind players. There are a few players in the field with course history here as the Web.Com Tour played an event here the past two years, but with such few players who have history I decided not to include it for all players listed and will be weighing course history slightly for a few select players, but at the end of the day I’m taking more of a statistical stance on the players to target this week.
