I look at the Vegas odds and listen to 2 1 hour shows on SiriusXM. Also browse the PGA tour page. Most fantasy content I find online is DK specific probably due to FDs jacked up rules not bring optimizer friendly.

Is that the 7k $1 hole in 1? I may be in the same one. 6561 players paying top 1685(26%)

Rotowire has a (limited, but still good enough) free optimizer for both FD and DK. Worth a look.

Thanks. I have 6/8 guys it spit out spread thru my games. Still doesn't break it down on when to use each player.
Even the optimizer likes Koepka and has 2nd best Vegas odds but I'm one of the few using him. Hope he wins this thing lol.

Why do you like him so much? I'm surprised he has the 2nd best Vegas odds. Besides The Masters (probably the reason why his odds are #2) and match play recently, he's been pretty meh. That's why I left him off....I try not to buy into success at the Masters because it's just so different.

Mostly because of his Master's finish and from what I heard on the radio. He has a good birdie or better % and mostly struggles with his irons since switching from Nike but that supposedly doesn't come into play much on this course.

The golf sweat is killer. Instead of trying to hang on for a couple hours it lasts 3 days and your players change. Doing great (4/5 cashing 3/5 in top 20) now but need to get all my guys across the cut line . C'mon Horschel get with it.
Best lineup so far is the last one. At 129.4 and currently cashing $25.

Thanks. Not going well so far as Horschel still not looking like he'll make the cut.
I don't follow PGA either but it's 4 days of action for $8 so WTF

Doubling up my entry fees so far. The bottom lineup is in 106th place of the Hole in One but 3 of my guys are almost done with their 2nd rounds.
If you don't know alot about golf, the players that tee off early on Thurs get the later tee times on Fri, and vice versa. So yesterday I remember my bottom lineup coming on strong at the end of the day, where today it's peaking early. Smith, Poulter and Schnieds were late Thurs/early Fri players. I'll surely fall back this afternoon unless List has a great round.

Most of my guys are just teeing off now so mostly out of the money again.

nice but don't think Spaun is going to make the cut- he's 1 of the guys(and horschal) killing my round 1/2 lineups today.
started today winning 35.60 but down to only 4. hope my afternoon guys shoot the lights out.
Raging weasel
Footballguy
He was +3 thru 4 when I posted this so getting better.
No idea how they do the cut- top half?
Raging weasel
Footballguy
Uuggh, I need all 3 to make it but if only 1 hope it's Kuchar . I'm dropping like a rock today, most of my guys just shooting par or worse.

Spaun went off, nice little 5-under round there. That Smith dude went for 7-under today for me.
Looks like 11 of my 12 golfers will make the cut.
The two lineups that were 4 for 4 in the 3/4 group are in the 170s for total points. One is barely cashing a GPP and the other isn't. If you had Finau and his 80pts (10% or so did) you would be in a nice spot right now.
What percentage of people cashing in GPPs do you think have less than 4/4 left? Randomly picking lineups in the top few hundred I'm not seeing many. Donald and Horschel are the most common I see.

Horschel and list tanked most of my lineups so really need Koepka to save me in those. Last lineup is at 198.6 with all 4 making the cut and sitting at 151st for $6.Raging weasel said:

kuchar,steele and hadwin played horrible today scoring a total of 2.7 points to land me in last place in my 50/50.
Even with kuchars 7.3pt effort today the last lineup still cashing pretty well 253.2pts/ 49th place for $12. If I had koepka instead of kuchar in this lineup Id be in 12th.

Finally had a decent week of PGA $8 in $23.50 out. My last gpp lineup scored 321.6 and finished in 30th place for $15. If that lineup had Koepkainstead of Kuchar would have finished in 3rd with 372+ and $200--sooo close. Also cashed the 3x and mini hole in one.

I wonder what happens with the scoring for the players who didn't finish their 2nd round yet?
50/50 lineup currently cashing 1/2 and my gpp lineup I got stuck with is at 155.8 good for $4 with Simpson still needing to finish up. As the guy who has played this course more than anyone he sure isn't doing very well and may miss the cut.

Kinser, McGirt and Simpson didn't make the cut, going to need some luck to cash.

only 1 lineup is currently cashing-going to need huge days by berger,glover and scott to turn a profit this week.

cashed 1 50/50 with 225.6 so $8 in $3.60 out.

Missed cashing a GPP by 9pts. Dustin was over 40% owned and Kisner missing the cut didn't help. Had Molinari in the wrong group too. Still seems like a solid lineup that would have done well in cash games.
The PGA is this week so now we're back to a loaded player list.
Yea, they are in my backyard this week so I'll play a few GPPs to add some spice to the local flavor.

3 lineups, various contests including double ups, 5050s, a 100-man, and gpp. Trying a few different things, especially with the 3rd lineup.
Leishman, Schwartzel, Palmer, Chappell /// McDowell, Oosthuizen, Casey, Kisner (all players between 6700 and 8800)
Cantlay, Hadwin, Perez, Harman /// Kaymer, Kisner, Grace, Garcia (more of my standard fare)
Fowler, Thomas, Stricker, Bryan /// Cantlay, Stanley, Molinari, Matsuyama (experimenting, looking for more low ownership between groups, might flop Stricker to 3/4 still and move Molinari over)

Finally have all 4 players make the cut and Rahm gets me negative points. Still up after 3 rounds but Rahm and DJ need to play a lot better on Sunday.
Raging weasel
Footballguy
My first line up just broke into the top 50 in a gpp despite -5 for Rahm so far. Best chance to cash big is if Grillo gets hot and wins as he's 1.4% owned.
Didn't realize there was another cut between 3/4 and Rahm got cut after his 10 over.

Well Grillo bogeyed 3 of 5 to start. Hopefully can still cash decently.
Raging weasel
Footballguy
top lineup scored 298.3 despite a -5 from rahm and grillo shooting over par for the day. Finished 41st/5882 and cashed both 50/50s. My other lineup scored 229.2 and cashed 1 50/50 but thats it. Could have been so much better but $12 in and $20.80 out.
Yea my $4 GPP scored 251 with Rahm in the final four, starting Sun moring at 274 and went down hill from there but still cashed $6
