2022 Presidents Cup
This week is different than every other on the PGA Tour schedule, so this article will focus less on course fit and projections and more on strategy and how you should be thinking about constructing your lineups. Given the fact that every golfer will play anywhere between two and five matches this week, trying to come up with projections seems a little pointless. It’s more about predicting who will play the most matches, not who sets up best for the course. For that reason, there won’t be a model video breakdown this week. However, I did run the model based on all of the usual metrics. The Noto Ratings are all included in the team breakdowns below.
Event Format:
- First team to reach 15.5 points wins the cup
- 30 matches total over four days (18 team matches, 12 singles matches)
- All matches are worth one point, ties end up in a half point for each team
- Each golfer is required to play one team match and singles, but can play all five
- Predicting who will play the most matches is half the battle for DFS
Schedule:
- Thursday: 5 four-ball matches
- Friday: 5 foursome matches
- Saturday: 4 four-ball matches (morning) & 4 foursome matches (afternoon)
