PGA DFS: Round 2 Showdown Picks & Projections - THE PLAYERS Championship
PGA DFS Showdown Picks and Projections – Round 2
Round 1 of THE PLAYERS Championship wasn’t without controversy. We caught some live mics of golfers’ interactions on Rory McIlroy’s drop after hitting it in the water, which is always fun. And for what feels like the 10th year in a row, the round was suspended because they ran out of daylight. For those of you who joined us in the made cut parlay from the RG Discord, it is still alive. Every golfer is even or better, so at least we have ourselves a Friday cut. If the bet hits, I am giving away $986 to one lucky winner. To be eligible, join Discord and click the fire emoji in the golf channel under my post (check the pinned messages).
We didn’t see a big split between the AM and PM waves in Round 1. The afternoon generally plays a little tougher because the course firms up and the wind usually picks up, but the forecast for Friday calls for heavier wind gusts in the morning. For showdown, I’m not stacking one wave or the other. I plan to target my favorite golfers regardless of their tee time.
