WEEKEND OPTIMALS UPDATED AT 8:45PM ET

VEGAS BABY!  The PGA Tour fall schedule heads to Las Vegas, Nevada for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.  You know these players love a chance to throw some cash at the tables but also play golf on one of the best courses in the country.

The tournament is played at TPC Summerlin which was designed by Bobby Weed and consulted on by Fuzzy Zoeller.  Summerlin was named by Golf Digest as one of "America's Best" golf courses and ranks as one of the "Top 100 Modern Golf Courses in the United States."  

The course itself stretches out 7,223 yards and is a Par 71.  Now, that length is deceiving because of the thin air in Las Vegas, it plays a lot shorter than the actual distance.  The 280 hitters hit it 300, the 300 hitters can stretch it to 320 and so on.  Rod Pampling of all people came out and smoked the course to the tune of 20 under par last year.  Players have got to finish 3-5 under par each day to even have a shot at finishing in the Top 20.  Putting is a vital stat every single week but on a birdie making course like this one, a little less stock is put into it.  In this tournament, the greens in regulation for even the worst golfers are very high.

Chesson Hadley is NOT in my playbook because I did not like his DraftKings price but Fanduel is a different story.  The price is great and I’ll use him in my Fanduel Optimal Cash & GPP Lineups.  Please feel free to use him on Fanduel.    

It should be a fun week in the desert for these players and hopefully we all can bring home big cash in DFS.  Good luck!
