PGA DFS Cash Breakdown: U.S. Open

Top-ranked grinder, Notorious, breaks down his favorite daily fantasy golf plays at various salary ranges for the coming week’s PGA Tour tournament.

U.S. Open

I’m going to take a different approach with the cash breakdown article this week. Picking golfers is more of an art form than a science. Sure, we can run models and play the guys that grade out the best, but this is golf. Players like Brandt Snedeker, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen, and many more routinely post strong finishes, but their stats aren’t pretty on paper. I like to use a mix of my model, narratives, and gut plays.

For that reason, I will break down the article into two segments — golfers that rate out well in my model that I like and golfers that don’t rate out well in my model that I like. Now, let’s dive into the plays for the week.
