PGA DFS

This week we are headed across “the pond” to The Scottish Open, the pre event to The Open next week, the last major of the year. There have been lawsuits filed to allow LIV players in, and Patrick Reed has now ben banned from the Scottish Open as well. The field will be adding or subtracting players based on which injunctions are lifted or upheld.

The Dear Deere Recap

Last week the Frisky Risky play was Hayden Buckley, 6900 and owned by 4.7% of the field. He finished -10 and earned a top 30 spot for great value and leverage. For those who are counting that’s seven in a row including Frisky SD plays. We swept the board on picks making the cut with the exception of Matt Wallace, our out in left play. I still liked him and actually replayed the tourney on streaming- he still missed the damn cut….(smile)

The Scottish Open Ownership

Draftkings will lock the contests at 1:00 am EST tonight so be aware of your time constraints. We strive to be the most accurate ownership group in the industry, please note that for The Scottish Open Ownership we are posting earlier than normal.

DraftKings is available in Austria, Malta, Canada, (except Ontario) Germany, and Ireland and the entire United Kingdom. There is tremendous interest in the last two countries and the majority will complete their contests between 10 pm and midnight our time. For those of you using restrictions on your optimized lineups we would recommend toggling up 1% to 2% on the most popular European players, but not the Americans. If your optimizer updates ownership %. automatically you may want to boost their projections. For example if you have a restriction that says no Euro player to be taken at more than 15% ownership, we recommend raising that to 17%.

We were hoping that all the Euro players would be full (and happy) from many pints of Guinness beer and pick their teams early.(That’s not golf) The good news is there will be plenty of new players entering as well from our neighbors across the ocean. This only happens twice a year, for this tourney and the Open next week. Players like Fox, Meronk, Arnaus, Perez, Fitz and Fleetwood can expect the boost as well as lesser known Euro players..

Let’s take a look at The The Scottish Open Ownership Projections to assist you with roster construction and team building.

These projections for The Scottish Open are accurate as of 5:17 EST. Top Tier golfers may show a higher % by lock.

*NOTE*: OWGR has the strength of this field rated at 649. It’s one of the strongest fields in the last three decades.

My picks for The Scottish Open

Top Tier: Xander

Mid Tier: Mitchell

Low Tier: Rai

Out in Left Play: Zanotti

Frisky Risky Biscuit Play: * In Discord later Tonight ! *Risky

FR Leader: Cam Smith

FR Leader: Arnous (Contrarian)

Be sure to check out Spencer’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. Spencer’s intricate detailed model intel is the best in the industry. Last week Stix was locked onto J.T. Poston as an outright, GPP, and other categories. At the last minute he switched to Patrick Rodgers, who played well and made him money. He switched the bet and took JT down to a fraction on the outright card. He spoke pure truth when he said one of the biggest cardinal rules you never break is do not cancel or reduce a bet. I’ve been gambling for 40 years and it holds true to this day. Just let it ride. These two titans are up 75 units already this year and that’s with them both betting different markets. They have earned their listeners and subscribers a few hundred thousand this year. It’s available Tuesdays mid evening. Do not miss it.

Don’t forget to tune in to The DraftCast, hosted by Joel and featuring Sia and Spencer and the surprise guest ( lately deep Dive Dave) who drops by to battle you, the audience, for supremacy on the draft board. It’s every Tuesday night at 8:00 EST and is fun, engaging, educational and often leads to threats of thievery of players and possible playful litigation from all involved. (#Deki gate) Show up, tune in, and help your audience win the week with the best team on the board! Someone mentioned last night it’s just as exciting as The Ryder Cup, I had no idea Taylor Gooch listens in, but it makes sense.

Deep Dive Dave won the contest last week, he has been red hot with outrights lately and the streak continues. Spencer is back this week after allegedly purchasing a hotel on the Vegas strip with Stix with all the money they’ve made this year. Joel was completely honest when he told Dave he was going to wait to take Fleetwood until he figured Dave wanted him next and took him right in front of him. Good times for all. Sia helped the audience and I must say they have a strong GPP team. Spencer quietly took some off center picks like List and Woodland, I have a sneaky suspicion he may be on to something. I mentioned to Dave that I love the Scottish people, anyone that would take a sheep’s ass and boil it inside the sheep’s own stomach and then eat it is ok in my book.

As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock! coming

This week I’m still on the beach looking out at a azure blue Caribbean ocean in Placencia, Belize, whatever stress or cortisol levels you had in the States disappears within an hour, guaranteed. It’s a great place to bring you the John Deere Ownership Projections. We are still bringing you top content from a nation that loves to fish and doesn’t know a lot about Golf DFS. I told a fisherman that this week I was concentrating on content for the John Deere Classic, and my specialty was ownership. He said he had a friend who was a farmer that owned a John Deere to help with his corn crop, and he could understand that golfers could play in the corn field after they helped his friend bring in the corn. It’s a work in progress.

Balancing Work and Vacations

The only stress I feel is making sure I get the content out on time for The Win Daily Sports family to make informed decisions on their John Deere golf teams and contests before lock, and to escape serious repercussions from my editor. EDITORS NOTE: It has been scientifically proven that restricting access to food and water and the occasional waterboarding are effective and proven methods for employee motivation. (I think my editor misses his previous position as chief interrogator of the Soviet KGB…smile)

Horses For Courses

The prize pony for this tourney, Daniel Berger, has withdrawn. Webb Simpson and Adam Hadwin are the next favorites to take the trophy at the John Deere. The following are crew notes from my P.A. team that reminds me on every zoom that they are NOT on vacation.

The King of TPC Deere Run is Zack Johnson. He has one of the best records for a four year run here that includes a championship, 2 seconds and a third. The only drawback is this run started in 2012 which was 10 years ago. In that ten year span Zack has never missed a cut although his best outing in his last three starts was a 16th. Depending on ownership, he could be a cash game staple.

Charlie Three sticks, better known as Charles Howell lll has been a cut maker as well, making the weekend in his last six attempts including three straight 23rd’s or better.

.Adam Schenk in his last two attempts here has a 4th and a 6th place finish.

Lucas glover and Adam Hadwin have had some good history here although it dates back to 2016-17.

Other targets we are tracking are Adam Long, Matt Wallace, David Lipsky and Patrick Rodgers.

Let’s take a look at The John Deere Ownership Projections to assist you with roster construction and team building.

These projections for The John Deere are accurate as of 6:55 EST. Top Tier (if we can call it that) golfers may show a higher % by lock.

My picks for The John Deere

Low Tier: Ryan Moore

Out in Left Play: Matt Wallace

Stix and Spencer took the week of this week, I guess if you can help your subscribers and yourselves to over 100K in winnings in a month, you at least deserve that.

This week it was announced that the audience won. Again. With Spencer out for the DraftCast it looked like easy pickings for the steamrolling audience picks, but Joel, Deep Dive Dave and Sia came up with some solid teams. Sia, who has a law degree, ran through the scene where Jack Nicholson is on the stand in A Few Good Men at five times normal speed. I played it backwards and it was a recording of the Beatles saying, “Sia has perfect hair” over and over. It was when Nicholson as a Marine Colonel bellows out, “you want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!” As a retired Force Recon Marine we saw over 30 of the 79 terrorists groups during my tours and deployment. Most people don’t want to know how we make sure they sleep well at night and that’s fine by us. The United States Marine Corps has been offering enemies of America an equal opportunity to die for their country since 1775. Let’s just say business was booming, (smile) and we’ll leave it at that. Semper Fi, and thanks Sia. Well done sir.

This week I’m on the beach looking out at a azure blue Caribbean ocean in Placencia, Belize, the best kept secret in the world hands down. Last weeks Milly winner had Denny “putts” McCarthy in the lineup at an obscenely low ownership that propelled him to a million dollar payday, it’s why I am keying on this weeks Travelers Ownership Projections. The tourney is in Cromwell, CT so it’s a semi home game for Keegan Bradley. Justin Thomas has withdrawn due to a real back injury and not because of LIV zero’s behind the first number on a check. He was more worried about Morikawa putting milk in his cereal bowl first than Mori jumping ship to LIV. Those two are staying home.

Balancing Work and Vacations

This report will be shorter for obvious reasons and please know that the Caribbean nations internet speed depends on whether the squirrels got either fed or eaten this morning.

A New Type Of Intelligence

Recently I spent high five figures on upgrading our system to AI capabilities. So far I have been told that patience is a virtue when it comes to learning a new system, the problem is I have no virtues except wanting you all to beat DK into bankruptcy by taking down every contest they throw at us. It came up with something interesting. Sam Burns has placed 1st, 2nd and 1st the week after a major (We consider The Players a fifth major) regardless of how he finishes in the major. Its a small sample pattern but we aren’t talking a 24th, 21st and 14th. No, It’s first, second, and first again the week after. He was a fade until now for us. He’s made three straight cuts here and finished higher than the year before each time. Patrick Cantlay rates out third in our A.I. model as well, although the value program has him 14th. HV lll and S. Power showed up well, and Davis Riley ranked very high in the AI program but was abysmal for safety. Charley Hoffman ranks as a great value before ownership is factored in.

Let’s take a look at The Travelers Ownership Projections to assist you with roster construction and team building.

These projections for The Travelers are accurate as of 6:53 EST. Top Tier Golfers may show a higher % by lock.

My picks for The Travelers

Top Tier: Cantlay

Mid Tier: Burns

Low Tier: Harman

Out in Left Play: Hoffman

Frisky Risky Biscuit Play: * In Discord later Tonight ! *Risky

FR Leader: Hoffman

FR Leader: Tringale (Contrarian)

Be sure to check out Spencer’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. Spencer’s intricate detailed model intel is the best in the industry. In the last three weeks they’ve helped themselves and listeners to almost 80K in real money winnings. Stix went 150 Max in the Milly Maker, he ended up drinking in the Vegas Casino’s so you’ll have to tune in to see if it was a celebration or an abomination.

This week the audience again won the DraftCast. They are a juggernaut group steaming towards the top and making the perennial favorite Spencer very nervous. You do not want a nervous Spencer in your rear view mirror. Sia, in a stunning moment of humble humility, took all the credit for last weeks audience win and then greatly assisted the audience when they needed a gentle nudge. Joel had his reserved normal picks that will probably blow this week away, and guest appearance titan Scotty, who informed of us a video where Spencer is tracking about 20 golf stat sites on line and in the background is a Porn Hub link, when it was mentioned in the audience text, all of a sudden there were numerous bots touting sex websites that Sia shut down immediately, or at least all the bad ones anyway. Johnny Carson once asked Zsa Zsa Gabor how she helped her husbands golf game. She replied, “when we are out on the driving range, I wash his balls so he can practice better.” Carson replied, “I imagine that would make anyone’s putter stand out.”

As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock! coming

This week we are at St. George’s, a top rated course in Canada that will host The Canadian Open. It will be the first time since 2010 that this course has hosted the country’s top golf tourney. Adam Schenk, a pre tourney low range favorite, has withdrawn as well as notables Patrick Reed, CT Pan and Pat Perez. Reed is heading to the LIV, he was once known as Captain America, he will now be known as the Sheik of Aribique. This is a short course that will reward good ball strikers and on the mark approach shots. I would also look at sand saves for the golfers you are considering, the greens are smaller and surrounded by bunkers, lot’s of bunkers. They have also let the rough “flourish” and word is if you miss the fairway you will be hard pressed to make par. It seems like a tough but fair venue to bring back The Canadian Open to it’s home country after Covid disrupted it the last few years.

O’ Canada

I spent years as a car dealer and then went to work with GM’s IT Department when they were building Onstar Canada, their wifi, bluetooth and all IT access at the push of a button. It worked fine at the population centers close to the border but Canada has lots of tunnels, mountains and thick vegetation overhanging the less populated areas. I remember a Canadian man calling in and telling me he had set the GPS for his trip to visit his wife’s sister Edna who had a house in the outlaying suburbs. He said, “there may be a small issue with the GPS eh? It says we are at Edna’s but there is a lake about 100 feet in front of our vehicle and a big moose is licking our windshield.” I was going to ask if Edna resembled a big moose but thought better of it. We got them on their way, coverage is now superior there and the thing that struck me is he wasn’t angry, frustrated or acting entitled. Canadians are naturally warm, non confrontational and eager to help anyone in need, maybe it’s all those tasty treats at Tim Horton’s. They are expecting overflow crowds with lot’s of enthusiasm for this weeks contest. This week hole 16 will be the “Rink” hole in a nod to the stadium hole in Phoenix, it will be surrounded by “hockey boards” and fans will be right on the hole in “penalty boxes.” Players have already warmed to the idea and will be throwing jerseys and swag at the crowd.

The Competition

There is another tournament in London this week featuring new members Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. Phil got two hundred million up front, DJ received 125 million. Tiger Woods turned down close to a billion dollars -“no thanks, I have a few of those already”. Without getting political, capitalism will overcome human rights every single time, and I can’t fault golfers for opting for financial security not just for themselves, but for their great grandchildren. It’s that kind of money. You could also argue that this new venture is nothing more than a retirement package for over the hill golfers and journeymen that haven’t reached the success of their competition, regardless, at present ticket sales for the inaugural event are sorely lagging, and a disappointment at present to the event organizers. Time will tell if they can win over the paying public, and the backers of this new venture have billions more to burn through. The tourney will not be broadcast on TV or Cable, it will be livestreamed for those who need to watch.

Whether it’s weather

We have had two majors so far and both have been affected by weather, not nominally, but severely. Other tourneys have had the same issues with high winds and some form of altering weather pattern that has disrupted the waves of golfers vying for a trophy. I have a friend at a national weather service who told me this will become the normal rather than an anomaly and the conditions will continue to become more extreme. In choosing your teams make sure you know what the weather has planned for your golf groups and act accordingly.

Another key metric for taking down a contest at The Canadian Open is ownership. Last week I had a team that was left with four golfers after the cut and it cashed because my average ownership was 11%. That leverage got me a green screen and with 6/6 could be the difference between a top 25 and a takedown.

Let’s take a look at The Canadian Open Ownership Projections to assist you with roster construction and team building.

These projections for The Canadian Open are accurate as of 6:54 EST. Top Tier Golfers will show a higher % by lock.

My picks for The Canadian Open:

Top Tier: Smith

Mid Tier: Munoz

Low Tier: Duncan

Out in Left Play: Tarren

Frisky Risky Biscuit Play: * In Discord later Tonight ! *Risky

FR Leader: Munoz

FR Leader: Hubbard (Contrarian)

Be sure to check out Spencer’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. This weeks show featured The Model Maniac who did admirably as Stix was savoring his big win from last week. Listen, last week Spence and Stix combined for almost 40 units in profits. 40 UNITS. In. One. Week. I know golf gamblers that are thrilled if they show +40 units…in a year! These titans did it with 51 weeks left over to do more major damage. Do your wallet a big favor and check these icons out. A five dollar player would be up 200, a 100 dollar player would be up 4 grand. Add the 74,000 they won for their listeners the previous two weeks and that’s almost eighty grand in 21 days. Wow.

Last night there was almost a Smith- gate but it turned out to be harmless. Joel won last week and he and Deep Dive Dave and Spencer made some solid choices. Sia wasn’t in the booth but was suspiciously lurking in the audience which made everyone nervous, especially the top shelf panel making picks. Even though Sia is an esteemed member of the bar, you all have seen how cutthroat he can be when choosing his teams. I remember once that someone looking quite flustered burst into our small county courthouse and asked, “Is there a criminal attorney in this town ?” The judge replied, “yes, but we haven’t been able to prove it yet.”
