Based on the statistics on Golf Predictor
for the 2020 Waste Management Phoenix Open, here is my analysis of the tournament for DFS (DraftKings) purposes. Anyone can pick the top golfers for their line-up, but it's the roster fillers that can make or break your chances. Therefore, I will concentrate on low and mid salary picks and exclude any golfers above $7600. Of
course, you are free to disagree and log in to Golf Predictor to make

Approach
To maximise your scoring potential, it's important to get as many of your line-up through the cut as possible. Therefore, I will look for golfers with a good recent record in each of the stats examined. This generally means relatively long cut streaks, although in some cases, I allow one aberration if the golfer's record is good otherwise. Golfers with shorter streaks of good results will also be listed. For this tournament, the stats I will look at are current form, course/tournament form and same region form.Current Form Golfers

Summary
Brian Stuard looks like a great choice as he features in all three lists. Scott Piercy, Max Homa, Matt Jones, J.T. Poston and Mark Hubbard all feature in two of the lists, so they might be worth considering as low and mid value picks this week.

I didn't do too badly in my first week! While Stuard bombed, Homa, Piercy & Hubbard all turned out to be great picks! Poston was a solid choice too, although Jones missed the cut. Knox, Hoge, Laird, Hoffman, Huh & Pan all made the cut and were mentioned above too.
