PGA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: It does look like we are going to get some wind this week (potentially 15+ MPH on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), but there has been a ton of rain in the area this year leading up to the tournament. The course should be quite soft, so we can expect a lot of birdies. The course is so short that you don’t need distance, and there are enough hazards that you want to hit the ball straight off the tee.
STLCardinals84: Wind is the main defense for this course. When the wind blows, the course can present a relatively difficult challenge. When it doesn’t, the course will play much easier as it did in its debut four years ago. Brendon Todd won that with a score of -24. In the three years since, the winning scores have been -15 twice and -19 once. I will target golfers that are precise with their iron play and, as always, strong from tee to green with the wind projected to be a factor this week. It is supposed to increase gradually each day, with the weekend featuring the toughest conditions.
hondizzle: This tournament will be harder to predict than most weeks. First and foremost, for me, we have the fact that, historically, golfers of all playing types have played well on this course. Second, and maybe even more important, is that we have a very weak field. This means that the pricing deficiency will be larger than most weeks. I typically try to just leave pricing alone on weeks like this. No need to make an effort to grab high-priced golfers if you have the money left over. From a course-fit standpoint, I will target golfers with a strong approach game.
