Weekend Warriors – Quicken Loans National

The Weekend Golf format is very different from the Classic Golf format and it is important to know how to build winning lineups and attack these contests over on DraftKings.  Simply put, Weekend Golf is all about scoring.  Fantasy points for finishing positions are no longer awarded so selecting the right golfers for your lineup will require the right mix of golfers who started off well and others who might just be finding their form for a solid weekend run.

Unless DraftKings brings back weekend golf – please let them know if you’re unhappy – all prices listed for full weekend will be FanDuel. The Saturday names to consider are all DraftKings pricing.

The weekend

Notable missed cuts (+1 was the line): Keith Mitchell, Scott Stallings, JB Holmes, Si Woo Kim, Richy Werenski, Rory Sabbatini, Danny Lee

Weather consideration:  For once, there aren’t any rain or wind considerations! Wind will be in the 3-8mph range which is what golfers saw on both Thursday and Friday, but there is still an important weather consideration: the heat. With highs in the mid-90s on Saturday and Sunday (not including humidity), there’s both the physical aspect to consider for golfers – walking 18 in that kind of heat is tough for most, let alone the…heavier…golfers – but more importantly is what the heat will continue to do to the course. The greens, especially for later tee times, will get baked out and run quick, and conditions will be tough to hold greens on approach shots; the earlier tee times on both days should have an easier time of it.

MDF consideration:  Not this week, Satan
