Quick Answer

TL;DR summary

Frequently Asked Questions

Common PGA DFS questions

How do I evaluate PGA DFS value?

Look at recent form (last 5-10 events), course history, strokes gained breakdown (OTT, APP, ATG, P), and made cut percentage. A golfer with 8.0+ PPD, strong course fit, and 80%+ made cut rate is an excellent value.

What strokes gained stats matter most?

It depends on the course. For long courses, Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (SG:OTT) matters most. For tricky greens, SG: Putting is key. For demanding approach shots, SG: Approach (APP) dominates. Match the stat to the course.

How important is ownership in PGA GPPs?

Extremely important. In large-field GPPs (10K+ entries), owning low-ownership winners is the key to big paydays. A 2% owned winner provides massive leverage vs a 25% owned winner. Fade chalk when you have strong conviction elsewhere.

Should I roster golfers making MC?

Avoid golfers with high missed cut risk unless the upside is worth it for GPPs. A missed cut scores 0 points. Check made cut percentage, recent form, and course history. Cash games need safe MC profiles.

How does weather affect PGA DFS?

Weather can create huge advantages. Early-late splits when weather changes mid-day affect scoring significantly. Check forecasts and understand wave assignments. Calm morning conditions vs windy afternoon can mean 3-5 stroke differences.
