Welcome back, Fantasy Golfers!  I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season because it is time to win some cash to ring in the New Year.  

 

We start the 2019 season off with the Sentry Tournament Champions at Kapalua in Hawaii.  This is one of those small field events which I am not a fan of for DFS but it also means that I'll be more focused on the tournaments or GPPs.  I will likely avoid cash games but I'll provide you a cash lineup despite the limited options.  I will not be providing a full playbook as I usually give you 15-20 golfers which would be nearly half the field.  Instead, I'll be providing you with two optimal lineups for each of the sites for this event.  Next week, we will start back up with the first full DFS playbook of 2019.

 

Kapalua, one of the few courses on the PGA tour schedule that I can say I've had the pleasure of playing.  The course has been lengthened over the years and is now a Par 73, 7,452 yards.  It was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and features super wide fairways and extremely large undulating greens.  Wind is a big factor whenever you play a course in Hawaii and has caused the winner score to range from 8 under to 26 under par.  The weather report is calling for 20-25 mile per hour winds throughout the weekend which is pretty normal and we should expect the scores to be a bit higher than last year.  It is hard to pin down winning stats on this track because a lot of the best players in the game have won here and those type players don't have a lot of flaws in their game.

 

I'm pumped to get back into the swing of things (no pun intended) especially with so many story lines heading into the 2019 PGA Tour Season. I'll be providing you something new this season. I'll give you my one and done pick for the week and also my best longshot bet of the week.    

 

Good Luck!
