Strategy for the 2020 US Open
It’s a simple strategy and that is to try and jam in as many of the top players in the world into your lineups. Majors bring out the best and more often then not, the top players are sitting on the podium. This idea though is shared through out the industry and alterations need to be made…slightly. Make hard stands with the guys up top. For myself I love both DJ and JT this week, will not be surprised if either win but I cannot play everyone. Just alter one or two sports from a cash/chalky line and you should be good. One last thing, if a golfer in the 6K range is getting traction, pivot else where. There is a better chance that they miss the cut then wind up top 20. Get ahead of the field.
Cash Game Core (No one over $10,000)
Trrrell Hatton
Tommy Fleetwood
Paul Casey
**In the tiers below, you can mix in the cash plays with those of the different tournament selection. The higher you go with tournament entries for the 2020 U.S. Open the farther down the list you can include.**
Single Entry / 3 Max GPP
10K – One of Collin Morikawa, John Rahm or Xander Schauffele
9K – Tony Finau
7K – Sungjae Im, Henrik Stenson and Shane Lowry
20 Max GPP
10K – Remaining two members of the SE grouping that you didn’t use.
9K – Patrick Cantlay
8K – Rickie Fowler
7K – Garcia and Horschel
6K – Rooyen
150 Max GPP
10K – McIlroy
7K – Niemann
6K – An and Munoz
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 2020 US Open, i would try and play it more to the vest, making small changes to cash lineups.

Monkey Knife Fight – 2020 US Open
Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like Jon Rahm and I’m fading Dustin Johnson, so you can grab the MORE BOB for Rahm and the LESS BOB for Johnson and make some more money! Check out how to play with our quick overview here.
