DFS Golf: UpNorth’s PGA Preview – WGC FedEx St. Jude

Two events left before the playoffs and we get it kicked off with the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational! 

My name is Josh Thomas, and I am a PGA and NFL Coach here at DFS Army! Welcome to the 2019 PGA Season! We here at DFS Army have got you covered this year for DFS golf with my weekly preview out on Sunday Nights, Chalk Donkey article breaking down the ownership projections, where to pivot, and GPP strategy out Tuesday Nights, and our Research Station that is full of more information than you could ever need!

Shane Lowry got it done at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in dominating fashion, leading after every single round. Tee to green he was incredible and the run he went on on the back 9 Saturday afternoon was fantastic. One of those rounds where you finish and go ‘what just happened’. That finish on Saturday where he birdied 15-17 en route to a ridiculous 8 under 63, won him the tournament as Sunday played very tricky with heavy winds and saw most players shoot well over par, including JB Holmes who went from T3 to T67 after shooting an 87 with a card that looks like one of mine on a bad day.

Lowry wasn’t the only guy who had a good day on Sunday though, DFS Army VIP ‘ccanelho’ took home a cool 100K!

He became the 20th 100k+ winner at DFS Army since 2015!!! An incredible run, an average of 4 100k plus winners a year!!!

Will you be next?!

PGA Preview Video:

While this is a ‘new’ event as it replaces the WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone CC in Akron Ohio, it is a course that has held a tournament every year since 1989. The talent descending on TPC Southwind this week will be nothing like they’ve seen though.

Another week of DFS Army VIP’s crushing the showdown slates using our Coaches Notes, Domination Station and Research Station!

Course Overview:

  • TPC Southwind: Memphis, TN
  • Par 70 7238
  • Greens: Bermuda
  • Fairways: Zoysia 
  • Designer: Ron Prichard (in consultation with Fuzzy Zoeller and Hubert Green)
  • No Cut Event Only 64 Players

 

TPC Southwind has hosted the FedEx St. Jude Classic since 1989 in its traditional spot before the US Open, and now with the change in dates, it’ll take the spot of the Canadian Open after the Open Championship. Due to it being a WGC event now though, it’ll get a stud field including almost all of the top 50 every year.

Previous Winners: 

2018: Dustin Johnson -19

2017: Daniel Berger -10

2016: Daniel Berger -13

2015: Fabian Gomez -13

2014: Ben Crane – 10 

All of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings are teeing it up this week with the exception of Tiger Woods, Francesco Molinari, Rickie Fowler, and Bernd Wiesberger. It’s possible we see withdrawal or two before the tournament, with Shane Lowry being the most likely candidate coming off his spectacular win at the Open Championship.

As you can see, over the years the course has played about a half stroke over par, making it one of the more difficult stops on tour, and we have quite a few holes that have double bogey rates, showing that while there are birdies, there are holes you can make a mess of here. Most of the trouble is in the form of water or getting off line as the fairways here are fairly tight. Not only are the fairways tight though, the green size is well below average as well. Putting an absolute premium on ballstriking this week.

One thing, that puts the DFS Army VIP’s at a huge advantage is the Domination Station. Check out how that works here!

Final Thoughts: 

I love these no-cut events as I think there’s a huge edge, especially when it comes to ownership. Be sure to check out my ‘Chalk Donkey’ article later this week with strategy on how to use the ownership projections to your advantage!

We will have content for you all through the week at DFS Army. Our research station and domination station optimizer will be updated on Tuesday and I will have my full Chalk Donkey article breaking down all the ownership and GPP strategy for our VIP’s on Wednesday afternoon!

Remember, this is the last major of the year so while we preach contest selection and bankroll management, don’t be afraid to go a little crazy!
