The Masters – Milly Maker Edition

Targeted GPP: DraftKings PGA $3.5M Fantasy Golf Millionaire ($1M to 1st)

PGA projected ownership is always in flux. There are so many variables: course history, SG:stats, tout buzz, weather/tee-times/groupings, perceived ownership, course fit, line movement, Odds-Value, DFS game venue – to name just a few. Each week I adjust my bearings, here are some of the adjustments made for this week:

PGA Projected Ownership Adjustments for The Masters:

Course History gets a huge boost Course history always has it strongest weighting at Augusta. Experience at The Masters is universally regarded as a prerequisite for any potential champion. One of the strongest narratives of the week is to fully fade all debutants, and who can argue with the logic? The last first-timer to win The Masters was Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Knowing where to miss off the tee, knowing how to approach the multi-tiered greens, how to handle all the pomp and circumstance of Augusta. It’s all important. And yet, there is a little buzz stirring for two debutants to be discussed below.

Recent Form gets downgraded slightly. Recent form analysis takes a slight hit in pOWN weighting. The last few weeks included a WGC Match Play event and the Houston Open serving as a final tune-up for Augusta. Outside of Poulter’s and Spieth’s HO performances, little else is regarded as meaningful for most touts and DFS players. Case in point, Justin Rose finished T52 last week at the Houston Open. Phil practiced to a T24. A longer-form analysis is being favored heading into Augusta for many touts and DFS players.

Perceived Ownership and ensuing Pivots off early week chalk gets slight downgrade. Projected ownership continues to dominate touting dialogues and we are seeing early week chalk losing more and more ownership on Wednesdays. However, with the influx of casual DFS players in play this week, the chalk is apt to run more freely.

The Majors bring out the casual fans. However, the casuals are getting very sharp these days thanks to all the wonderful DFS golf content available. So we’ve had to adjust many biases pertaining to the casual fans and have even thrown out a few. The population of max-entry participants has really grown too, definitely affecting ownership. The days of soft competition are nearly gone.

Balanced roster construction gaining momentum. Past Milly Makers at Augusta have taught us that we need to roster the winner and five other golfers that all at least top-10. The bottom of the DK salary list is full of options with no win equity and almost zero upside to finish in the top ten. Most touts stop around $6.8K at Jimmy Walker or maybe Kyle Stanley. And there is an increased amount of indecision up top. Is DJ’s new shot shape off the tee going to work in Augusta? JT is rolling now, but his course history at the Masters is not so good. Can Spieth start putting and stop going into to Rae’s Creek on the 12th? Going balanced anchored by cores including Rose, Bubba, Casey, etc is trending up.

Bombers and Approach studs get a boost. Attacking the Par-5s is a must especially in good weather. Hitting the greens in the right spots/tiers is also highly regarded by the touts.

Notable Golfers at The Masters:

Jordan Spieth (26% pOWN%, $10.4K): Many were hoping for Spieth to tank at the Houston Open but were greatly disappointed when Spieth shot a scorching Sunday-66 to finish T3. Even with Tiger back in the fold, Spieth is the current course horse at Augusta going T11-T2-Win-T2 his first four appearances at The Masters. All aspects of his game are clicking except for putting. Conveniently for Spieth fans, a trending narrative touts the incredibly difficult greens at Augusta may neutralize the edge for golfers currently putting well. Spieth’s ownership could swell by pivots from indecision between DJ/JT and concerns with Tiger’s driving woes.

(15% pOWN%, $10.8K): Some feel that is playing better than anyone right now. However, the current Fed Ex Cup points leader still struggles to garner ownership when priced up with the big boys. Even after his win at the Honda Classic, Dustin Johnson doubled JT’s ownership with similar pricing the following week at the WGC-Mexico Championship. DJ maintained nearly double the ownership over JT at the WGC Match Play event. grossly outperformed DJ in both events and is set to finally approach or even outpace DJ’s ownership this time. DJ is trailing all $9.2K + golfers in tout buzz and his high DK price is going to take its toll this week.

Tiger Woods (22% pOWN%, $10.0K): Damn, Tiger is great for this game. We all hope he is there on Sunday, in that final group. The casual DFS players will be all over Tiger and Phil. But I feel significant fading is in store from the more experienced DFS crowd. Regarding Tiger, the big concerns are with the driver. Tiger changed shafts, reportedly now using the same driver shaft employed by Rory during his win at Bay Hill. Maybe that helps. But if the drives do find more fairways, will the vintage Tiger killer instinct also return? We all want it to. But with Spieth just $400 more, Rory $100 cheaper. Justin Rose at a $800 discount…

Notable Golfers at The Masters (continued from above):

Justin Rose (34% pOWN%, $9.2K): Rose took a commanding tout buzz lead last week in the early Masters podcasts and has maintained that dominance through Tuesday. He has an epic blend of course history, recent form (we can safely throw out the T52 Houston Open finish), course fit, stats/model popper, and most importantly in my opinion: desire. Prior to the Rio Olympics, Rose publicly stated he really wanted to win Gold. So he went and won Gold. Now he is publicly stating he really wants to win The Masters. He knows that he has the skills, experience, and confidence to do it. Try to fade that.

Bubba Watson (27% pOWN%, $8.7K): 2018 has been the Year of the Resurgence. Phil, Rory, Tiger and Bubba have all posted memorable returns to prominence in recent weeks. It was easy to dismiss Bubba’s perceived near perfect course fit to Augusta last year. But that natural right to left fade that is so much fun to watch via ProTracer is a very appealing narrative in 2018. It’s helped him to win two Green Jackets, he now has the confidence to win a third. Bubba’s ownership will be fiercely challenged by Paul Casey at just $100 more. Casey finally got a win at the Valspar. With that monkey off his back can Casey now pop in a Major?

Tony Finau (3% pOWN%, $7.4K): Meet the next Fuzzy Zoeller. Well, maybe that is a bit of a stretch. While Tony Finau may not be the first debutant to win The Masters since Zoeller in 1979, Finau can top-10. And that would do nicely at just a $7.4K price tag. Finau’s distance could be huge on the Par-5s. If he can just hold his own on those greens. Many believe he can, directly challenging the “fade all debutants” narrative. Finau is one of the line movement studs through Tuesday evening and he is getting very little ownership competition from salary neighbors including Berger, Charl, Grace, RCB, or Webb. Update: Finau injured his ankle during the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday afternoon. The injury looked serious initiating most to move away from Finau even before an official statement has been released. Leading pivots include Xander Schauffele, Matt Kuchar, and Patrick Cantlay.

Xander Schauffele (5% pOWN% and trending up, $7.5K): Another debutant getting some buzz is Xander Schauffele. Many have touted strong confidence in Xander’s all-around game including two Tour caddies during the Tour Junkies Masters DFS podcast. It will be an incredible challenge for him to contend in his first appearance in Augusta. But we are talking about the first rookie ever to win the Tour Championship tourney last year. Schauffele’s ownership will suffer from lackluster Odds-Value (149-1 at $7.5K). And stealing ownership from salary neighbors slightly above like Pouter, Kuchar, and Cantlay will be tough.

Bryson DeChambeau (21% pOWN%, $6.9K): Viable roster options fall off the cliff at around $6.9K. Jimmy Walker and Kyle Stanley might work. Sitting at $6.9K at near 100-1 odds is Bryson DeChambeau. Bryson’s Par-5 scoring and Tee-To-Green game is for real. We still cringe on every putt, but maybe he drops a few more. He by far is getting the most tout buzz in this price range. Kevin Chappell is getting lots of discussion, but unfortunately it’s focused on his back injury that caused a WD at the WGC Match Play event two weeks ago. If Chappell’s back was confidently cleared, he most likely would be the chalk down here. But with lingering questions of Chappell’s health persisting, DeChambeau is eating up the ownership.

This is shaping up to be an incredible week at Augusta National Golf Club. Has the PGA ever been in such a good state going into The Masters? Many of the young stars are healthy and in good form led by and Jon Rahm. International studs such as Justin Rose and Paul Casey threaten to take the Green Jacket again in 2018. Then we have ridiculous resurgences from the likes of Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, and of course, Tiger Woods.

I don’t usually release PGA pOWN this early, but I have never experienced this much excitement (and content) for a PGA event before. These opening values represent what DFS players would roster if The Masters teed off this afternoon. But in reality, not many rosters are being built now. I expect significant pOWN movement throughout the week starting on Sunday at the conclusion of the Houston Open. Touting for the 2018 Masters has already begun (Justin Rose is way ahead of the pack) and many narratives are already strengthening. It’s going to be a fun week.
