2020 FedEx PGA Championship Ownership
Hello DFS golf fans and aficionados. This week is the 2020 FedEx PGA Championship, with the top DK prize of 500 K probably being split by 5000 people. This weeks contest is much more about game theory than projections because of the staggered starting points, but projections can help you in determining how many or how few people you want to split the big money with. To give you an example, last years 400 K with a 5.00 entry fee had almost 91% duplication. Guys I can’t stress how important it is to leave some money, a little, or a lot, on the table. If you use the entire 50 K salary, it’s guaranteed that you will duplicate other entries. Let’s take a look at the ownership projections, and don’t be surprised at the major, and I do mean major heavy chalk.
The top ownership % goes to Xander Schauffele, at a whopping 37% and climbing. Billie Horschel is next at 35% followed by Web Simpson at 32.6%.
Jon Rahm is next at 32% Justin Thomas follows at 27%. Daniel Berger is 26%, next is Tony Finau at 25.9%, Rory McILroy is 25%, next is Victor Hovland at 24.5%, then Hideki Matsuyama at 23.8%. Kevin Kisner is 21.7%, Joaquin Niemann is 21%, Tyrrell Hatton is 20.8%, Abraham Ancer is 19.8%, Ryan Palmer is 18.9%, Scottie Scheffler is 17.8%, Harris English is 17.2% Collin Morikawa who just added Patrick “Sharps” Scott to his Christmas Card list is next at 16.3%, DJ is sitting at 16%, Bryson DeChambeau is at 15.9%, Mackenzie Hughes is 15.1%, Lanto Griffin is 14.7% Kevin Na is 13.4%, Sungjae IM is 13.2%, Patrick Reed Is 12.6%, Brendan Todd is 12%, Sebastian Munoz, my pick last week who did very well is coming in at 11.8%. Marc Leishman is 11.7%, Cameron Smith is 11.1%, Cameron Champ is 10.4%
Picks for the Championship
Since DJ is at only 16% ownership, and he starts out at -10 before he walks up to the first tee box, I’ll go with him, reluctantly, but the odds say take him.
The two golfers with the most history are Kevin Kisner and Harris English, both know this course very well being Georgia golfers, although Kisner is almost 22% owned.
Last week my out in Left field play was Sebastian Munoz, he was 6300, ownership was 3.5%, he finished in eighth place. He brought home the value and the money. This week almost all the golfers who are in the 6000 range with the lowest ownership are going to start out ten strokes behind the number one golfer in the world, D.J. Who do I think can come close to beating him ? My pick this week is Kevin Kisner (6800) because he knows this course, is 25th in accuracy, and his metrics are solid. My honorable mention is Abraham Ancer (6100) who was 15th at the FedEx St Jude, and finished 33rd last week at the BMW
