The Fit & Form Guide for the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational | DraftKings + FanDuel PGA DFS

During the 10-week hiatus, we worked on our content to deliver you the best possible info out there. One of those changes was combining the course history and recent form articles to showcase two of the most essential elements when building out DFS lineups each week. Since we were on a 10-week hiatus, we’ll use form from this year and course history back to 2015. Let’s get into the PGA DFS Fit & Form guide to make your PGA DFS picks for your daily fantasy lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for the WGC FedEx St. Jude.

Recent Form Since the Return of Play (Charles Schwab)

Seven weeks into the restart of play and now the competition will get hot and heavy for at least the next six to eight weeks. This week features most of the world’s best, next week’s PGA Championship will feature all of the world’s best, and that will be the only major of the 2019-20 season. That’s followed by the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The end of those playoffs on Sept. 7 will mark the turn of the season, as the PGA Tour will start their 2020-21 season at the Safeway Open the following week. Then, just six weeks from now, the first of six majors for the 2020-21 season, the U.S. Open, played at Winged Foot, will mark a stretch of golf where the best golfers will play almost every week.

We’ve seen plenty of times before where a golfer can get hot in a short span and rattle off multiple wins, something I’d like to see happen in the coming weeks. Holding two majors heading into Augusta would be a great storyline, one history wouldn’t forget.

Focusing on this week, we have four golfers in the field that will be competing for the first time since the return of play: Henrik Stenson, Robert MacIntyre, Lucas Herbert and Shaun Norris. 

Positives

  • Even with Bryson DeChambeau’s total debacle in the second round at The Memorial, he’s still the only golfer in the field with four top 10s in the last seven weeks. Justin Thomas is the only other golfer with more than two. Another 14golfers have two top 10s in the last seven weeks, including Daniel Berger, Tyrrell Hatton, J.T. Poston, Michael Thompson, Webb Simpson, Jason Day, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa and Gary Woodland. 
  • Viktor Hovland is still the only golfer with five top 25s since there return of play, DeChambeau and Thomas have four, as does Xander Schauffele. Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer, Matthew Wolff and Corey Conners join Finau and Woodland as golfers who have three top 25s.
  • Hatton has only competed twice since the return of play, likely setting up for a long stretch of golfer here in the next six weeks. In those two starts, he’s looked great, coming in the top five in both. Patrick Cantlay has come in the top 25 in two of his three starts.

Negatives

  • Many golfers in the field this week are in search of their first top 10 in the last seven weeks. A couple of those names that might surprise you are Conners, Paul Casey, Hideki Matsuyama, Matt Kuchar, Joel Dahmen, Erik van Rooyen, Rickie Fowler, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
  • Only 25 golfers are in search of their first top 20 of the restart, including Shane Lowry, Louis Oosthuizen, Marc Leishman and Rafa Cabrera-Bello.

Course History at TPC Southwind

The tournament itself has been here since the late ’80s, so we have over 30 years of data to go off of.

Positives

  • Billy Horschel is one of three golfers that have at least three top 10s here at TPC Southwind since 2015. Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson are the other two. Berger, Chez Reavie and Dustin Johnson are the other ones that have multiple top 10s here in the last five years.
  • The names don’t change much when we stretch it out to top 25s, as only Matt Jones and Cabrera-Bello have at least two top 25s here in the last five years.

Negatives

  • DeChambeau leads a list of golfers that have competed at TPC Southwind at least three times over the last five years and haven’t finished inside the top 25. Other names include Woodland, Conners, Max Homa and Keegan Bradley.

Fit & Form

Now that we’ve covered both course history and recent form, let’s see if we can find any crossovers, either negative or positive.

  • A lot of golfers in the field are playing this course for just the second time in the last five years, including a ton of the big names who had good starts here the previous years like Jon Rahm and McIlroy.
  • Horschel has started to come on strong in his last two starts and also has good course history here, which should signal a good fit.
  • Matthew Fitzpatrick is also coming in off his first top five in quite a while and even had a top five here last year at TPC Southwind.
  • Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed are coming in off nice starts at The Memorial, finishing 13th and 10th. and both have good memories from last year.
