I’m liking Ben Griffin -125 over Ben Taylor for the tournament. Mainly because Ben Griffin is a top 50 SGT = strokes gained total & a huge advantage over Ben Taylor in that category.

So far I've played these three plays:
Jhonathan Vegas outright +3100 0.5u
JT Poston outright +3276 0.5u
Danny Willet Top 10 1u +700

I haven't played any matchups but I'll be sure to post if I do. This is a good week to take some stabs at long shots because this is such a weak field that the person who ends up winning could really pay off in the odds market because they're likely to be +2500 or better.

I’ve been to this tournament a couple times down in SFL. It’s a fun & sometimes challenging course for these professionals. This year the field is lacking talent, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make any money on this tournament, good luck with your plays pal.

7023 Willett -140 is my play.

Learning as I go.
I think if you're just starting out betting on golf that playing h2h matchups is the way to go. Most people who bet on golf make most of their money playing the right matchups each week. When I bet on golf though I take a stab at guys that can win the tournament or finish in the top 5 or 10 at juicy plus odds. I've hit a couple but its like playing the lottery so that's why my advice would be to stick to matchups when you're just starting out.

Yes I do I've actually done ok at it because I use a lineup optimizer on DFS Army. When I first started playing I was using Rotogrinders and I threw 5 lineups in the $1 gpp and took it down for $1000. It's tough though man because most everybody who is any good at DFS uses an optimizer so unless you really want to invest the time and the money in being good at it you have no chance at winning the bigger tournaments due to people putting in 150 lineups with their lineup generators.

Yeah I’ve never tried that route with these optimizers. I just do it for fun nothing too serious.

Its fun to throw a lineup in the milly maker but if you want to win a little money doing one lineup you're better off throwing your best lineup in one of the higher dollar buy in single entry or 3 entry max contests with lesser entries. I don't do that because I don't have a big enough bankroll but at least if you do that you have a chance to win some money while having fun.

First place in the $20 3 entry max pays $1500 but the tradeoff is its capped at 882 entries. So while it doesn't pay out that much you at least have a shot at actually taking it down because people can only enter it 3 times and there's only 882 entries as opposed to 58+ K.

S Im is too good, also like shane lowry
and j vegas in fantasy lineups
and b h an
Everybody is going to play Im and Lowry this week in DFS. Something to keep in mind at all times is ownership because you can get a leg up in large field gpps by pivoting to a different golfer at a similar price point. This week is tough though becuase Im and Lowry are probably two guys who it's okay to eat the chalk on. I think you could build a solid lineup around either of those two guys this week but I would probably include at least one of them in your lineup unless you think they'll totally bomb.
