You heard it here first Matthew pavon is going to win this Tournament welcome back to Bray birs DFS one of the best places for PGA NFL MLB and NBA news and of course DFS if you don’t know by now I’m Walt if you haven’t already please like And subscribe to my channel yes we are back

On the East Coast yes I am an East Coast bias kind of person these past 6 seven weeks Hawaii Mexico uh La it’s just been hard on your voice so now everything’s aligned as it should be all right so welcome to my channel welcome to my

Video so let me walk you through my process the first thing I do before I submit any lineups I look at the recent form of the players in the field and we can look on the screen and see that JT posted has the best recent form of the

Players in the field now this uh this tournament has a slightly more competitive feel than last week I think last week we had six out of the top 40 in the world this week we have 13 out of the top 40 in the world we’ll get into

Some JT posted stats later but just know that JT poon is a steal of a deal from a DraftKings perspective uh he has the best recent form but he is the seventh most expensive uh PGA golfer on DraftKings no surprised Rory has his best the second best recent form a lot

Of that has been on the DP World Tour but yeah I mean he’s been doing good over there been doing decent over here weak field he’s Roy maroy no surprise he’s number two number three which might surprise some of you all who haven’t been paying attention a lot but Matthew

Pavon he has been playing lights out he won his first PGA tournament uh last month at the farmers and just someone that we really really need to look at when we’re making our lineups this week and then at number four you have with Zaden hope hope uh no surprise he’s been

You know good for a while here and in the field like this he’s someone you definitely should Target and then we have Tom hogy at number five all right so after I look at recent form the next thing I do is I look at what are those

Things that I need to consider for this tournament so if this tournament doesn’t sound familiar to you it’s because it used to be called the Honda Classic so PJ National is in Palm Beach so it’s in South Florida it plays firm and fast and it’s very windy and I checked the

Forecast out and this year will be no exception to that rule there’s a slight chance of rain round three and round four but this is Florida it rains every day and if you don’t know that you haven’t been living in America that long and we talked about it 13 of the top 40

Players in the world are playing very interesting the cut line is almost always above par I believe the last 10 years the cut line has been above par so this is the total opposite of the Mexico open that we had last week another interesting thing to consider is they’ve

Added a third part five so what they did is they extended one of the par fours I believe 20 yards and made that a par five so it went from being a very very difficult Par Four to a potential Gable part five so that being said some of the

Analysis that we’re looking at might a little skewed because in theory they’re two to four depending on the player you know extra Strokes you can get um over 4 days with this edition of a par five we have another week where we have you know 12K Plus pricing and dynamic sub 6K

Pricing so I looked last week at the winning gpp and some other lineups and it was very interesting I’ve never seen anything like it four sorry we had three players sub 7K that made it in into the winning gpp lineup I mean normally the max you’ll have is one and I mean we’ve

Had like times last season where you had seven eight weeks in a row where no one subk was in the winning gpp lineup but it was really crazy last week and last week because we were at a birdie Fest the difference between the really good players and the good players and the

Okay players was compressed because it was a easier Resort course so you had a situation you actually had I think two players sub 6K they went off I think CT pan got like 109 fantasy points and you had Ortiz who got like 80 or 90 so they

Didn’t make it into the winning gpp lineup but just last week just know what I’m trying to tell you is some of the things that happened last week I don’t believe will be repeated this week because a harder course like this will kind of expose some of those marginal

Players all right so let’s look at the recent winners and we can see Chris Kurt won last year uh with a score 14 underpar his salary is 9,400 sep straa won in 2022 with a score of 10 underpar his salary is 8,600 sjm that was a tough

Year one with a score of six underpar in 2020 his salary is 9700 we have keth Keith Mitchell who won with a score of nine underp Parts you can see this is definitely not a birie Fest he won in 2019 with a score of um with a score

With a his salary is 9,000 and then we have Ricky Fowler who won of with a score of 14 under par in 2017 and his score is 7500 obviously we have gaps cuz there’s some Live players and just players that aren’t playing on the PGA tour anymore all right so more details

About PGA National so it’s been extended is 7145 yards firm and fast you’re going to hear all the content creators you’re going to hear all of the announcers talk about the bear trap it’s the fourth most difficult set of holes 15 to 17 that is

On the tour uh PJ National is now a 70 par 71 versus a par 70 uh as you can see they’re now three par FS four par 3s and 11 par fours so doing some research uh there are four stats key stats that you really want to consider on a course like

This and you have strokes gang off the te and it’s kind of a weird course where just because you’re good off the te doesn’t mean you’re going to have success however if you’re not not good off the te there’s no other path to success also we want to Target players

That are good at strokes gang approach right now we also want to have strokes gang putting on Bermuda and this is important for a different reason you know at a birdie Fest you’re trying to get birdies just to catch up but on a course like this in a tournament like

This birdies are going to be so hard to come by so those players that can convert those seven eight 10 foot putts they’re going to be the difference between coming out in second or third place or 23rd place and then with all of the water hazards bogy avoidance is

Going to be so important so when we put all those players into the hopper the players to Target we want to have Alex noren for his Strokes gain uh off the T skills we want to have EVR had a good week last week for his strok gain

Approach we want to have Co Cory Connors for his bogey avoidance and we want to have Matthew pavon for his putting and then we just have two players that are just allaround good course fits and that is Russell Henley and Adam spinson all right so now let’s get back to

DraftKings and what I’m going to do now is give you my recommendations for players in each of the tiers over 10,000 the 9,000 8,000 7,000 it feels weird to say the 5000s all right so first we’re going to get to Henley and once again he’s a great course fit uh he’s played

In five tournaments this year he has one top 10 which he had last uh last month at the Sony Open so his stats don’t like totally you know blow you away just looking at because he’s not a top five recent form but considering how well he’s played historically and this course

He’s definitely someone that I like above 10,000 so in the 9000s I’m not trying to get cute with this you can try to get cute with this I’m not JT Poston has the best recent form and I’m telling you if I’m making if I’m not making a

Lot of lineups I don’t get cute I play the player who has the best recent form so yes he does have that cut earlier this month but he’s been in eight tournaments this year and he finished in the top 10 and four them that is a crazy

Ratio so definitely JG poons who I would Target in the 9000s we go in the 8000 once again it’s not the time to get cute I’m putting pavon in my lineups 8,700 the dude has two wins he was third at the Pebble Beach which was uh you know

Um truncated because of the weather and he was first at the farmers 11 top 10 the guy just been playing every single week let’s move into the 7000s and we’re going to go Ricky Fowler his recent form has been terrible but he has won here before we know he can someone that can

Be streaky maybe this is the start of one of his hot streaks we’re going into the 6000s and ay I was impressed by semi valaki he played really well he gave Justin knp a scare sorry Jake nap Justin knp he gave Jake knp a scare

But he couldn’t keep it up and finish in second nothing to be you know ashamed about and then in the 5000s if you’re going to dip your lad before below 6,000 you could do worse than Andrew noack we can see that in back-to-back tournaments he’s finished in the top 10 he’s only

Had one round out of his past eight that has uh been over 70 obviously he’s under 6,000 so there is a very good likelihood that he could regress to the mean but I got to give give you someone in the 5,000 so why not Novak so let me know
