Tournament and Course Notes for the Presidents Cup
- This is always a fun event for DFS because it’s as much about projecting who will play as it is about projecting who will play well
- We also have the CPT spot (1.5x the salary, 1.5x the fantasy points), which means more strategy goes into lineup building
- I tend to avoid golfers who aren’t playing in the first matches (again, trying to maximize the number of matches played)
- I like targeting duos who are expected to be paired together for multiple matches (twice as many points for wins)
- Don’t be afraid to stack one team (if you feel good about them winning), and don’t be afraid to leave salary on the table
- I’m not putting much stock into course fit this week, but ball striking and putting are always good when in match play
