Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Sanderson Farms

OVERVIEW

DraftKings wants more rake from us, so they’re running some pretty garbage contests for the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, MS this week.Ball striking reigns supreme at the CC of JM so we’ll be targeting players who do that at an high success rate this week. For the few that actually play in these contests, I can see the ownership gravitating towards the newer darlings of DFS – Sungjae Im, Cameron Champ and Norman Xiong (he’s actually really cheap this week in a really weak field). As far as corollary courses go, there’s aren’t’ many that fit the exact bill, but I’ve seen some similar characteristics between the Puerto Rico Open and the OHL at Mayakoba, so those would be the two course comps I’d be using this week. This might be the week to get in on these not-so-well-known names, so if you have a fear of missing out, this is where I’d focus versus the HSBC as someone still has to win the contests DK provides.
