Tournament and Course Notes for the Masters

The best week of golf is finally upon us!
There are massive tournaments on FanDuel and DraftKings, as well as some terrific small-field contests
With the cut being the top 50 and ties and there being 10-15 golfers who have little to no chance of making the cut (older champions and amateurs), the 6/6 percentage is typically much higher than it is for a full-field event
For DFS, focusing on upside is more important than safety, especially if you are playing tournaments
Augusta National Golf Club is a Par 72 that measures 7,565 yards
This is a complete test of golf that will quickly expose any weaknesses
The winning score has been between -10 and -12 in each of the last 5 years
They mow the fairways against the hole direction, which minimizes rollout on drives
Many suggest the course actually plays closer to 7,800 or 7,900 yards
This is a driver-heavy course that does favor the bombers
The fairways are extremely wide, and the “second cut” is only an inch thick
You can get into trouble if you get too far offline, but the field hit 74% of the fairways last year
Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and Driving Distance are the best off-the-tee metrics to use this week
The greens here are average in size (6,400 square feet), but they play a lot smaller due to the extreme slopes that repel errant approach shots
Approach shots are made even more difficult with all of the uneven lies
It’s extremely difficult to scramble, and lag putting will be key
The greens feature bentgrass and will run around 13.5 on the stimpmeter
Course history has been more predictive here than at any other course on the PGA TOUR

What to Look For

Strokes Gained: Approach
Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee
Driving Distance

Par 5 Scoring
Birdie or Better %
