2020 US Open - Winged Foot: Tier DFS Plays
The 2020 PGA Tour season has officially come to an end, fortunately we still have two majors to finish the calendar year due to the covid-19 pandemic. This week we are at Winged Foot for the 120th US Open. Winged Foot is one of the most difficult courses in the world, and should be an entertaining weekend to see how the players navigate the difficult USGA set-up.
Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) has become my favorite way to bet on golf; Classic (traditional, salary based lineup), Showdown (single round, salary based lineup) and Tiers (no salary lineup) gives you the flexibility to play to your skill and comfort level.
Tiered contests have become my favorite to play. It gives you the ability to play the top end players without using up all of your salary, but also forces you to do your research on the lower end players. Below are my favorite plays for each tier.
Tier 1:
Dustin Johnson
Jon Rahm (riskier play with the rough at Winged Foot but with DJ being the majority play, this will help differentiate your lineup)
Tier 2:
Xander Schauffele
Tony Finau
Tier 3:
Collin Morikawa
Daniel Berger
Tier 4:
Matthew Fizpatrick
Patrick Reed
Tier 5:
Tommy Fleetwood
Gary Woodland
Tier 6:
Brendon Todd
Kevin Kisner
My strategy this week will be to enter one lineup into a single-entry double-up contest, then use the same lineup in other contests varying in entry fees and payout structures.
Good luck to those playing.
