PGA Ownership Report: Honda Classic

Alright guys, I didn’t get up with the golfers (and rarely will on the East Coast), but let’s take a peek at this week’s ownerships in the Honda Classic!

Here’s the data for the $3 Birdie, and I’ll add more momentarily:

Full field ownerships (for individuals and ‘teams’) can be found here!

And we have a co-ownerships matrix that shows who the highest owned pairs of golfers were in this week’s $3 Birdie:

So! Top of the ownership leaderboard in GPP is Patrick Reed! I think this was the choice for many as he afforded seemingly upside, safety, and a negotiable price at $10.6k to build around for GPP and for cash games!

I honestly thought that Rory and Rickie would be somewhat outside the top 5 … but in GPP they were still reachable with lots of low-end value on the board.

Speaking of which! Tyrone van Aswegan, you have arrived! I will say I am surprised that Mark Hubbard has exited our top 15 list this week. He has been steadily gaining in popularity while meeting expectations, but, well, these ownerships can be fickle sometimes!

Also, 1.3% forgot (or didn’t know) to take Webb Simpson out of their lineups in the Birdie!

There are a LOT of golfers above $10k this week, so I won’t list them all, but most of the guys at $10k+ got picked in at least 10% of lineups. So what I like to see is who got passed over? And surprisingly the answer this week is Hideki Matsuyama, coming off blazing hot form … I can see how he’d get squeezed out a little bit, but at the same time … I think in hindsight, if you told a lot of people he’d have half the ownership that several others up top do, more people would have jumped on to see if he can keep up the recent success!

So that’s my quick take, as always, let me know in the comments or on the forums what your take is and what you’d rather do differently and what you really nailed, and I’ll add some more contests throughout the afternoon!
