Comments
Notorious this article is the first piece of information I look at every week and it is extremely helpful. The Roto Academy course on PGA DFS is extremely insightful for new players and I would highly recommend that to anyone. It introduced me to the PGA Media Guide stats and I have been exploring it the past few weeks. Is there an easy way to pull down stats from the media guide? I have been copy and pasting into excel but it has been time consuming. Do you use fantasy national for the stats you want to incorporate for your model and then manipulate them in excel? And then pull down any additional stats from the pga tour media guide you want to include each week for a specific tournament? I think many players would be interested to get an idea of where to begin when trying to build their own models as it is intimidating and seemingly a very daunting task. I know this is an extremely loaded question and any insights or input would be greatly appreciated and I think more players would find this information extremely helpful.
If you use Chrome you can download an extension called Table Capture and it allows you to copy data to excel much easier
