The PLAYERS Championship – TPC Sawgrass

2015 Winning Score -12 Rickie Fowler in a 3-man playoff
To make the 36 hole cut you needed to be Even Par

2014 winning score -13 Cut was Even Par to play the weekend
2013 winning score -13 Cut was Even Par
2012 winning score -13 Cut was Even Par
2011 winning score -13 Cut was Even Par
No that was not a typo…..same winning score 2011-2014 and same cut line the last 5 years !

This tournament marks the return of Jordan Spieth – first tourney since his Masters debacle and the #SB2K16 vacation.

This tourney also annually features one of the strongest fields of the year.

Only 144 players this week and the usual 70 & ties make the cut. With a smaller field, the 6/6% has the chance to be higher than past weeks (based solely on the fact that a higher percentage of field is making the cut).

Last year (2015) there were some big (very BIG) names that missed the cut and that is normal here because just about every hole can be birdied or double bogied. If it’s it anything like last year, there will be carnage that will put us DFS’ers on tilt early.

Looks like it is fixed on DK

Neither has played here before in competition

So what Phil Mickelson should we expect this week?

Matsuyama I like at his price point- always steady- gotta get a win at some point, right??
Stenson after the MC (looking ahead) hopefully will bring lower ownership with solid course history

So many options at various price points- gonna be a fun week- anyone know what strategies seemed to be most popular?
I don’t think they’ll be a lot of duplicates this week.

JB Holmes seems to be priced stupid low. Yeah, he wasn’t great last week, but he’s one of the top 20 golfers in the world and he hasn’t missed a cut all year. Seems crazy.

i cant stay away, its like crack, i just have to play. Wanted to go in on Bubba but the dude plays like absolute shit here every year. Since 2008 he has never finished better than 37 and his best score for the 4 days is only 2 under with 2 missed cuts as well, guess Bubba is a full blown fade

what do yall make out of this?

“interesting @THEPLAYERSChamp tidbit: Since 1982 when they started tracking, no player has won the Players averaging 300 yards off the tee.”

Yes quoting myself….Na at 7800 and Kuchar at 8100.

I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that there are a lot of holes where you can’t hit driver.

Don’t mean to be a nudge, but does anyone know when the Lineup Builder is expected to be good for the week?

PGA $10 50/50! BY JIMKRONLUND
Entries: 100 Entry Fee: $10 Total Prizes: $900

Its up in the Lobby. 100 entries this time so hopefully more entrants by casual golf fans, and more $ for RG’ers.

Think I will give it another try.. what’s $10 bucks when you are contributing it to other RG’ers right!?

The link Jim provided is excellent for those that haven’t tried it. I believe it is also free for the 1st week if you refer someone else. Only $5 if you don’t.

anyone have a link to a site that provides a spreadsheet that outlines course history for every player in the field for the last 5+yrs..for FREE.

I just did a RORY,Spieth lineup and I’m happy with the scrubs :$ This is going to be quite the lottery weekend in the $3 100 K contest .

I just did 10 stacks with Rory/Spieth/Sergio

That translates to…… I just took up 10 spots with $30 in donations. Tough to stack 3 from the top with 3 scrubs under 5700

Will Spieth still be reeling from his couple retreat break?

I got Phil plus two other scrubs.

I think Fitzpatrick has played TPC? Between the two they had 1 Masters appearance before this year and both finished top 14.

For Driving Distance stat only two holes from each course are measured. The tour tries their best to pick two holes were driver is used the most and go in opposite directions to negate wind.

I expect Phil to rinse at least one ball on 17

He has put 7 in the drink there in past 10-12 years

Maybe he’s played the course before but not in the Players Championship

True – course history is not the be all end all but I’d still prefer someone who has played here before even with an MC versus a rookie – I don’t say that about all courses but I believe this one takes a little time to figure out where (and not where) to be aggressive.

Looking like Freddie Jacobson is my number one scrub so far .

I’m in!

If you have yet to try PGA on FA we have a $7500 Best Ball Top 50, $500 Beginner Only contest and a $50 Salary Pro Free roll to get your feet wet.

im gonna throw a name out for discussion….

Kiradech Aphibarnrat…….. and GO!!!

ill start, dude is 4/4 on cuts made so far, his SG from putting is lights out but he is absolute horse shit SGT2G!!!
