While I bet outright and play DFS a fair amount, the majority of my efforts are focused on Reignmakers on Draftkibgs. I will not bore you with the details; in short, you buy cards to create DFS lineups. But you own the cards; so you cannot go from Wyndham Clark to Rory week to week without a pretty big cost.
I typically play at the Legendary tier, which means my entries have to consist of 2 Legendary cards and 4 Elite. My Legendary cards as of right now are Aberg, Tom Kim and Denny. I have to bench Tom Kim in favor of Denny following that performance by Kim, correct?
The Elite cards I have are: Rory, Shane Lowry, Adam Scott, Corey Conners, Will Zalatoris, Byeong Hun An, Taylor Moore and Eric Van Rooyen. Obviously, Rory is in. I am tempted to also roster Zalatoris, Lowry and….? I like Moore because of consistency, Connors because of his record at Augusta and Scott because of recent form (although the past month has diminished that). Beyond Rory, Lowry and Zalatoris, who would you pick to be the fourth member of my A Team roster?
Yeah Conners is playing great now and as you stated, plays well at Augusta...I think he his the choice...followed by Adam Scott and Taylor Moore.
As fro Denny or Kim...tough. While Texas is just one tournament, Denny of course playing much better this week (duh)...but Denny hasn't been great this year either, ball striking generally lacking compared to Kim, and hasn't played The Masters before if that matters a lot.I don't have a great answer...I think I'd play Tom Kim in your position based on a larger body of work but I would understand riding the hot hand if Denny keeps up pace in Texas. I just worry about his inconsistent ball striking. It's a tough position considering the last couple weeks.
Thank you for your input. Glad to hear you see it the same way as I.
What also worries me is that putting, as you said, is not rewarded as much at Augusta vs other courses. And Denny is a great putter. Marginalizing a guy’s best skill is never smart. I have Kim up for sale; if it sells at a reasonable price I will take the proceeds and try to find a guy I feel more comfortable rolling out there. It is not like a GPP; I can cash with guys that are T30 or whatever. Fading Scottie (by virtue of not having one) could very well bite me in the ass.
One thing that could help is I am currently 18th in a contest which, if I can sneak into the top 11, will reward me with a Legendary card of a random player. About 30% of the potential players I could get are in the field.
Sitting in 5th. Need Mitchell not to do Keith Mitchell-esque stuff for 18 holes. And then get lucky and get a guy I can roster. Wyndham Clark? Yes, please. Robert Garrigus? Less so
I never dabbled in the Reign Makers...still toil w/ DFS, more out of a hobby. Would like to get heavy into it again but betting takes up a lot of my time (considering more than just golf with that time consumption)
