Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Puerto Rico Open

OVERVIEW
When the best players in the world are playing in a WGC event, the rest of the Tour needs something to do, so this week they head to Puerto Rico. When PGA Tour rookie Wesley Bryan is the highest ranked player in the field, you could say this is a weak field event (yes Wesley is playing well, he recently jumped up 50 spots in the world rankings thanks to his back to back 4th place finishes), but that’s not the point here! The point is the field is really bad, but since DraftKings refuses to do DFS for the match play event, we have to take what’s dealt. This week’s event takes place in Puerto Rico, where it’s usually warm & windy. The course is fairly long, but the majority of the holes make you think your way around the course which makes it a less than driver course. Get ready to see the best of the worst golfers on Tour this week!
