PGA DFS Tournament Blog: The Genesis Invitational Data Insights & Showdown Updates
My goal with this blog is to touch on various key data or course insights that I find valuable, and hopefully will aid in your process to help polish up your player pool, or perhaps even re-evaluate your process for the given week.
As we know with PGA DFS (and golf in general), every course and sometimes every round/day can play differently. This nuance makes PGA DFS both fun and also tricky to come to a simplified approach each week. I will use this blog to help steer through the fluff and focus on the most impactful data for each week. Check back throughout the tournament as I drop some interesting Showdown data nuggets that will help build your teams for the next day.
Friday, February 17th, 6:00 AM ET: Second Round Showdown Plays
Pretty good start to this week’s event. Impressive start for Max Homa, who currently sits T1 at -7 with Keith Mitchell. Rahm is only 1 back, while Morikawa is 2 back, and McIlroy is 3 back. So far the top guys are setting themselves up for an epic weekend!
As far as showdown goes, there are a few key stats I will lean on, as well as any of your full week research. What I mean by that is, if you researched Poa splits, now is a good time to lean on that knowledge instead of throwing it out the window. In terms of projections, this is where I will start first, my Top 10 raw projected plays are:
Rory McIlroy
Tony Finau
Jon Rahm
