Strategy for the 2021 Valero Texas Open
This week at the 2021 Valero Texas Open is the time to take your shot with so much value in the 7K range. I’m honestly playing much lighter in terms of my bankroll in play (to go heavy at The Masters) and you should be too. It’s not because I don’t trust my research but because it’s a terrible field with question marks through out the 10K range. Build a three or four-man core, and pepper it with everyone else. This is a win everything or you lose everything kind of week.
Key Stats
T2G – Tee to Green
BS – Ball Striking
DK Points
BOB – Birdie or Better
Proximity
Cash Game Core (No One Over 10K, Safest)
Cameron Tringale $9,300 (Seems to always be here)
Cameron Davis $8,800
Ryan Moore $7,900
This core will leave you with over $8,000 on average to fill out your roster for the 2021 Valero Texas Open. You could even fill in a mid 9K priced golfer and still have roughly $7,200 on average to complete the rest of your build. Remember for cash games you just need to cash, winning the whole thing isn’t necessary. Raise the floor of your team by trying to stay out of the 6K range.
Single Entry / 3 Max GPP (Risk)
9K – Conners, Hoffman & Steele
8K – Griffin
7K – Ghim & Huh
20 Max GPP (Riskier)
10K – Finau
9K – Palmer
8K – Wise
7K – Ryder, Varner & Glover
150 Max GPP (Riskiest)
8K – Hadwin
7K – NeSmith, Knox & Higgs
6K – Percy & Hoag
As a general rule of thumb that I follow when “normally” entering 150 max is the higher the golfer is priced, you should have more of them in your lineups. For example…
10K Player – 40%
9K Player – 30%
8K Player – 20%
7K Player – 10%
6K Player – 5%
These golfers are priced like they are for a reason (for the most part). Don’t kill good lineups because you have 30% of a 6K player. Could he go off and you’re way up on the competition, sure. There’s a better chance that they sink those lineups instead. With the 2021 Valero Texas Open, I would try and create a higher-priced block of golfer 2/3 in the $8,500 and up range and then build off of that.

Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like Tony Finau and I’m fading Jordan Spieth so you can grab the MORE Fantasy Points for Finau and the LESS Fantasy Points for Spieth and make some more money!
