Charley Hoffman Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Charlie Hoffman and Chris Stroud will both no longer play in this week's Farmers Insurance Open. Mark Hubbard and Jim Knous have gained entry into the field, but with a Wednesday start for the week it's doubtful that we will see either player in a pricing pool update. If this changes projections will reflect the additions to the field.

With a good week, Charley Hoffman can make the Tour Championship for the first time since the 2017 season. In 28 starts this year Hoffman has posted a top 25 in half of his starts. In addition to his steady play, Hoffman has a reputation for being a player that can make a ton of birdies. With his bottom-barrel price, the combination of steady play and his upside has Hoffman trending as one of the top value plays for the week. On DraftKings, there is a strong argument to pivot in GPP's to the less popular Si Woo Kim. In a non-cut event, the upside Kim brings to the table can be a difference-maker. With three tour victories to his name ( including a Players Championship), Kim has a resume worth paying attention to in terms of upside in big events. With only 69 players in this week's field, it will be hard to have rosters that can truly have low ownership. Predicted to have less than 4% ownership Kim makes for an interesting pivot from the very popular Hoffman.

After a multi-month layoff, the world of sport welcomes the return of professional golf. With just a little over 10 minutes until roster lock, there is no major news to report. The forecast for the week should not give an edge to any particular tee time wave and we can expect almost a perfect four days of Texas sunshine and very little wind. Good luck this week grinders. ResultsDB will be up and running shortly after lock.

With a solid course history behind him, Charley Hoffman ended up being a very popular GPP play at last week's Travelers Championship. A faulty flat stick left Hoffman in a bad position after Thursday's opening round. Hoffman was not able to play well enough on Friday to make the cut leaving his supporters with a bad taste in their mouth. With many in the community not looking to get burned again, this week could potentially be a great spot to get back on Hoffman. While he has struggled to play well this year, Hoffman is the type of golfer that can get hot and is not afraid to put up a low score. Early reports from players and caddies have the winning score for the week approaching 20 under par. If this number holds true then you will want exposure to players who can rack up birdies in a hurry.

Prior to his recent string of poor performances, Charley Hoffman had become a very steady and reliable DFS option. From the start of the 2015 season until the end of last year Hoffman posted a very respectable 39% rate on top 25 or better finishes 110 ten starts. Currently ranked outside the top 150 in The FedEx Cup standings, Hoffman has been far from that golfer this season. With 6 missed cuts in his 11 starts this season, Hoffman has struggled to find the success of years past. The good news for Hoffman is that he posted a very respectable T18 in his last start at The Valspar. Hoffman also gets the added benefits of playing at a course that typically fits his game. In addition to his win at the 2016 Texas Open, Hoffman seven other career top 15 or better finishes in this event. Looking to keep his perfect cut record intact, Hoffman is 39 under par in his last 36 rounds at The Oaks Course. Poor current form has this past Texas Open Champion trending towards a low ownership number, but as we have seen in the past it does not take much for Hoffman to get hot and he should feel at home on a course that suits his game.

There was a period of time between the start of the 2017 season through late 2018 where Charley Hoffman was one of the more consistent players on tour. With 26 top 25 or better finishes since the start of the 2017 season, Hoffman became a player we could target on most weeks. Once thought of as just a streaky player, Hoffman had quietly molded himself into more of a steady player that you could target week to week. Towards the end of last season and for the early part of this season, Hoffman has struggled to play well. Currently ranked outside the top 150 in The FedEx Cup race, Hoffman has only posted one top 25 this season. Hoffman was able to post his first to 25 of the year at The WMPO and then followed that up with a 41st place showing at Pebble Beach. In each of his last two starts, Hoffman has gained strokes tee to green vs the field and has the type of game that plays well at Rivera. Priced down due to his poor recent form, Hoffman makes for a great value play in GPP's this week. Augusta National is a course used in comparison to Rivera, and Hoffman has flashed over the last two years at the Masters. Hoffman is a great ball striker who looks to be coming out of a small slump at just the right time.
