The PGA TOUR travels to the Entertainment Capital of the World this week for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.  This is a full-field event with plenty of FedExCup points on the line.  TPC Summerlin is an easy par 71 that measures 7,255 yards in length, however due to the higher altitude, it actually plays slightly shorter than this.  Both strategic golfers and big hitters have gone well here in the past, but it is typically the golfers with a solid tee-to-green game and a hot putter threatening to win.  The Par 5s are reachable for everyone and with favorable conditions all four rounds shaping up, this event should revert back to a low scoring birdiefest.  The latest weather forecast for Las Vegas, Nevada can be found here.

The FGI PGA Interactive Model is going to assist us with our lineup building process because it identifies the golfers with solid Recent Form and whose Key Stats set up nicely at TPC Summerlin.  It also allows us to factor in Course History as well as an emphasis on Vegas (odds to win).  Below are the FGI PGA Interactive Model Overall weightings I will be using this week along with the Key Stats weightings for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open provided by our friends at Fantasy Golf Metrics:
