Strategy for the 2021 Genesis Invitational
With this event being an invitational, the field is compressed down to 120 golfers with the typical top 65 and ties making it to the weekend. The tournament is stacked with top end talent which is pushing the price down on everyone else, in some places down $1,700. I think one of the top dogs take it down so I would not get cute and try and avoid the top tier guys. Get one and possibly two if you can afford it and cram in a bunch of value in the 7K range.
Key Stats
Driving Distance
Ball Striking w/ emphasis on OTT
DraftKing Scoring
Bogey Avoidance
Cash Game Core (No one over $10,000)
Patrick Cantlay $9,600
Joaquin Niemann $8,800
Cameron Davis $7,500
This core will leave you with $8,000 on average to fill out your roster for the 2021 Genesis Invitational. You could even fill in a $9,500 priced golfer and still have $7,300 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 low 7K/6K range.
Single Entry / 3 Max GPP
10K – Jon Rahm & Justin Thomas. Would run a 2:1 in a 3 Max with these two. Rahm is my favorite 10K player overall.
9K – Xander Schauffele
8K – Will Zalatoris
7K – Cameron Tringale
20 Max GPP
10K – Rory McIlroy
9K – Tony Finau
8K – Max Homa
7K – Sam Burns & Luke List
150 Max GPP
9K – Collin Morikawa
7K – Si Woo Kim, Abraham Ancer, Russell Henley, Wyndham Clark, Henrik Norlander & Kevin Streelman
6K – Wesley Bryan (Huge Punt)
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 Genesis Invitational, 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.
