Daily Fantasy Golf Picks - 6/24

We head to the Congressional for the Quicken Loans tournament this weekend where Tiger Woods is making his return (shameless plug, we're running a deal (https://www.livingsocial.com/events/1001261-quicken-loans-national-vip-golf-tourney-experience?index=1)!  While Tiger will not touch a 50/50 lineup this weekend, it's tempting to get the 2-time champ involved in a GPP tournament.  Last week our DS plays were Bradley (T31), Merrick (T26), Moore (T5), Hoffman (T26), and value plays Kelly (T31), Henry (MC) and Van Pelt (T67).  On DK we added Jason Day (T18).  With 7 of 8 recommendations making the cut, you should have been able to cash most of your 50/50's and sniffed cash positions in any tourney rosters built around Moore.

This week the course will be much tougher, playing as one of the hardest courses last year.  Length will be important and scoring a little bit lower with an expected victor around -8 to -10.  I personally won't be rostering too many guys averaging below 290 off the tee, and as always GIR is essential.  Again this week the big guns on Draftstreet seem way too pricey, though I will likely go back to the well with Jason Day on DraftKings.

• Keegan Bradley remains one of my favorite players to anchor my squads this weekend.  Simply put, his game is so well rounded that you often don't notice he's averaging 300+ off the tee box.  He's 2nd in the field in Birdies per round, critical for fantasy production.
• Speaking of Birdies per Round, I also see no reason to steer clear of doubling down on Charley Hoffman.  5 straight cuts at congressional and 17 cuts in 18 events this season leaves a very low risk profile on Hoffman at just 15% of your salary.
• No Ryan Moore?  How bout we look towards another Ryan with Palmer's Top 15 in the field Driving Distance, 10th ranked GIR and 6th ranked putting.  Another low risk profile who should be recovered from a poor US Open but otherwise solid 2014 campaign.
• Dipping into the cheaper pool, I like Stewart Cink a lot this week with a 5th and 22nd finish the last 2 years at Congressional.  He has 5 straight cuts and is 15 for 18 on the season, along with solid GIR and Driving metrics.  He's got a chance for his first Top 10 of the year and at 12% of your salary should free up a ton of cap space.
• Webb Simpson is another player I'll roster where I can afford him, with a well rounded game built for US Open style courses.  His price is about right, but I think I've got enough value this week to splurge on some second tier players.

Last, I again found Jason Day too hard to roster on Draftstreet chewing up 27% of your salary.  However, at just 20% on DraftKings I think he'll be very affordable to roster and hoping to see a final Sunday battle between him and Keegan!
