Daily Fantasy Golf Helper: THE NORTHERN TRUST

By now, you’ve probably dabbled in everyday fantasy sports, but if not, don’t worry. Now is a great time to get started, especially with FanDuel’s Daily Fantasy Golf offering.

Golf can be one of the most exciting DFS sports to follow, as the tournaments last four days and each week leaves plenty of time to prepare. It’s a great balance between the time spent on research and the time spent monitoring your team.

But whether you’re brand new to PGA or daily fantasy sports in general, we’ve got what you need – and we also have daily fantasy golf screenings and training training tools.

Let’s take a look at some golfers to aim for this week.

Key statistics

Past winners at TPC Boston are some of the big hits: Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Chris Kirk, Henrik Stenson, McIlroy and Webb Simpson. Turn it into a FedEx Cup playoff pitch and logic dictates that we will need some strong all-round players in our FanDuel lineups this week.

The par 5s on this par 71 should go a long way in separating the compact group of elite golfers, so the distance and par 5 scoring deserves attention for TPC Boston. Shots Earned: The approach is still at the top of the list for me, but overall hitting the ball is a must.

The stats cited below are from FantasyNational and include the last 50 rounds of the PGA Tour unless otherwise noted. The ranks are on the pitch.

The best of the best

Justin Thomas (FanDuel Salary: $ 11,900 | FanDuel Sportsbook Win Chance: +1400) – I can’t leave Thomas now. He’s simply the best tee-to-green golfer in the world, according to datagolf.com’s adjusted shot metrics earned, in 2020. Sure, he already has three wins this year, and it’s hard to top, but on point. in view of the process, Thomas is simply too difficult to ignore. He won here two years ago and stands out more than any other star in this field.

Patrick Cantlay ($ 10,900 | +3000) – Cantlay’s all-round game is one of the best in golf and we could take him to unpopular draft percentage numbers due to his recent streak: 32nd, 35th, 43rd. In these, he earned the ball shots (from the tee and the approach) every time, but just didn’t click with the short game. I am treating it as a low buy opportunity on a statistical star.

Others to target:
Rory McIlroy ($ 11.800 | +1400) – Finishes similar to Cantlay. The pilot is fine, and sometimes the irons are there – just a short icy match right now. Two victories at TPC Boston.
Xander Schauffele ($ 11,500 | +2000) – One of three golfers in the top 20 in ball shots and short game from the second leg (with DeChambeau and Daniel Berger).
Hideki Matsuyama ($ 10,600 | +4000) – Big cut odds for a reasonable salary and four top-25s in the past five starts.

Mid-priced choices

Viktor Hovland ($ 9,600 | +6,000) – Hovland has the best top-10 value in my simulations (top-10 odds versus FanDuel salary) among golfers priced between $ 9,000 and $ 10,000), and is easily the best statistician in that range as well. Only one other golfer ranks in the top 10 in both shots earned: off the tee and shots earned: approached in the last 50 rounds, and that would be Paul Casey ($ 10,200).

Harris English ($ 9,300 | +8,000) – I will keep going back to English, which is only very strong statistically right now. The Englishman is 20th in the approach to the second half and 26th in the last 50 rounds. The Brit is also a top 17 putter on that 50-round champion and is 4th on bentgrass on a 100-round champion. He finished in the top 25 in five consecutive starts and has made four of five cuts at TPC Boston since 2012.

Others to target:
Matthew Wolff ($ 9,600 | +5500) – Obvious upside from distance and shot and has had a few weeks of peak with the putter lately.
Gary Woodland ($ 9,500 | +6500) – Main achievements in the history of the course with five consecutive victories in the top 30; putter is there and is always a threat hitting the ball.
Tyrrell Hatton ($ 9,800 | +6,000) – The missed cut at the PGA and the 69th at St. Jude came from a terrible put; still reasons to love tee-to-green play.

Low-priced picks

Joaquin Niemann ($ 8,800 | +15,000) – Niemann is not as sexy as he has been in the last few weeks, but we know this: the dude will bring his irons. He missed 0.4 shots during the approach game at Wyndham last week. Previously, he hadn’t missed any shots during the approach play from the 2019 Open Championship. Back on the bentgrass greens, Niemann could land on the right side of zero with the flat stick. He is 14th in approach in the last 50 rounds and 29th from the tee.

Doc Redman ($ 8,900 | +13,000) – Redman was in the middle of last week on the stretch, but if you isolate him in the sub $ 9,000 range, he is one of four golfers to rank in the top 40 in both shots earned: tee to green and birdie chance. , via Fantasy National). Redman’s putter disappointed him last week, but he’s nowhere near as bad a putter as many of these inexpensive forwards.

Others to consider:
Corey Conners ($ 8,500 | +15,000) – Conners is 12th in both initial and approach shots obtained in the last 50 rounds.
Emiliano Grillo ($ 8.6000 | +20000) – Always a scary list, Grillo is on the 30th tee on the green and is somehow only viable on bentgrass.
Talor Gooch ($ 7,800 | +25000) – The 35th overall shot gained an average of 4.6 or more shots from approach in three of five starts.
Sebastian Munoz ($ 7,200 | +35,000) – The approach game escaped him last week, but he is fifth for opportunities gained and better than a coin toss to cut.
