The Insight Sheet gets you ready before lock for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Inside is my personal player selection. Make sure to be on Discord tonight to get final questions asked and for help with lineup building. As always, the sheet uses DraftKings pricing but the model is set up for overall play. Players can be used on all sites.
Players priced $10,000 and higher
Jon Rahm $11,400 (M4) – This selection came down to Rahm and Thomas. Rahm gets a slight edge, with his recent form and course history being a little better. Slight.
Webb Simpson $10,300 (M8) – Simpson comes in sixth in DK scoring within the field. Will have a slight ownership discount to Matsuyama.
Players priced between $9,900 and $9,000
Xander Schauffele $9,900 (M3) – Despite coming off a missed cut at the American Express, Schauffele scores out well here at the WMPO. Could be a nice pivot off of Matsuyama as well.
Collin Morikawa $9,200 (M5) – This is my boy, you could read the previous week’s breakdowns for how I feel. Morikawa was 100% in last weeks tournament until a horrible back nine on the third round.
Bubba Watson $9,000 (M11) – Watson’s showing last week was a bit surprising as him showing up again in the model. I’ll ride the hot hand, see if we can catch lightning in a bottle again.
Players priced between $8,900 and $8,000
Brandt Snedeker $8,900 (M45) *GPP* – Snedeker has four straight cuts at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and is fifth in the field in Strokes Gained over the last five week. Doesn’t show up well in my model but at sub 10% ownership, I’ll take a shot.
Sungjae Im $8,800 (M25) – Im will be popular but that’s okay. Coming off three straight made cuts including a T10, Im’s price is just too low.
Branden Grace $8,700 (M60) *GPP* – Like Snedeker, Grace isn’t exactly popping off of the stat sheet. With that in mind, he placed second last year and may have found his game on the Euro tour recently.
Scottie Scheffler $8,500 (M17) – Game should setup well here at the WMPO and despite a missed cut last week, Scheffler comes in ranked fourth in SG:TOT over the last five weeks.
Viktor Hovland $8,400 (M19) – Hovland has the distance and hit it fairly straight. Gaining traction in the industry won’t push me off of him.
Players priced between $7,900 and $7,200
Jason Kokrak $7,900 (M7) – Made some moves last week before ultimately fizzing out. Kokrak’s lackluster finish will hopefully keep his ownership suppressed.
Zach Johnson $7,300 (M20) *GPP* – Johnson, hasnt performed well recently but has made five straight cuts at the WMPO. He even had three straight top 15 finishes just a few years back.
Rory Sabbatini $7,300 (M22) – Sabbatini might become a GPP play before lock as hes only been playing ok both in recent form and tournament history. Where he shines is his course profile where he’s seventh in the field in DK scoring.
Adam Hadwin $7,200 (M24) – Hadwin is solid all around. Top 20 in Dk points, T2G, stats model and has four straight made cuts. A good start to a cash lineup as his popularity is on the rise for the WMPO.
Denny McCarthy $7,200 (M50) *GPP* – 15th in Strokes Gained Total in the field, McCarthy relies on his putter to get it done. When the putter is a heavy focus, GPP status will always be implied.
Players priced $7,100 and below
Aaron Wise $7,100 (M12) *GPP* – Here we are again with Mr. Wise. My kryptonite if you will. Shows up everywhere in the model this week. 10th in scoring, 19th in TOT and 17th in T2G. What sold me was FanShareSports CSR ranking of 2nd in the field. I’ll have my usual sprinkle.
Matt Jones $7,000 (M31) *GPP* – Jones is a nice salary relieve player. I don’t know if he has what it takes to take down the Waste Management Phoenix Open but he should be able to hold his own.
Doc Redman $6,600 (M18) *GPP* – Should be a GPP play but his price and his performance somehow has his ownership rising. Ar 9% possible ownership, pivoting somewhere else wouldn’t be a bad idea perhaps.
