Country Club of Jackson

7,461 Yards - Par 72 - Greens: Bermuda

The Country Club of Jackson is a rather unique venue to try and handicap from a DFS or gambling perspective. Originally designed by Donald Ross, the 18-hole layout used for the event was redesigned by John Fought and Mike Gogel in 2008 but still keeps many of the Ross principles that you would expect to see. Players will be required to work the ball both ways with doglegs going left and right, and the positioning and undulation of the greens will force golfers to hit shots to the correct side of the fairway.

Unfortunately, that is about where our help stops from trying to handicap this statistically. Players only hit about 54% of fairways, but the lack of rough shouldn't present issues for those that are unable to locate the short grass off the tee. All of that makes me believe a bomb-and-gouge mentality might be the way to go with Sergio Garcia, Sebastian Munoz and Cameron Champ being the previous three winners, but a hot putter will be the key to success.

Typically, events like this are not my favorite when we have to rely on anything involving the flat stick, but I dove a little deeper to try and figure out why that might be, and I think I figured out a potential answer. The last five winners have combined to be 97-under par during their wins. That highlights a birdie fest, but it is important to figure out where the scoring is coming from. 47.5% has been on the four par-fives and an additional 11.5% has come from the singular short par-four 15th, which includes Cody Gribble skewing the data by playing it even throughout the four days. That's 59% of the winning totals coming at those five holes. Projections would suggest that the average golfer is only birding them 33.68% of the time, giving us a massive disparity from those that hoist the title versus everyone else.

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools and DFS advice. Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event.

 

High-Priced DraftKings DFS Players 

There are five players this week priced above $10,000:

  • Safest Play: Sam Burns ($11,000) - Sam Burns is the number 1 golfer in my model when looking for safety. I prefer using him in cash games or single-entry builds versus large MMEs for that reason, but his birdie-making skills should go nicely with his current form.
  • Most Upside: Sergio Garcia ($10,500) - I think we would have a different story if Sergio Garcia wasn't coming from the Ryder Cup, but his win here last season shows he can find success. There is an upside to be had in MME-type contests, but despite where he ranks in my model, I am going to only use him in specific contests - mostly those of the large-field variety.
  • Favorite GPP Play: Will Zalatoris ($10,800) - Ownership is starting to flock to Will Zalatoris, who is still searching for his first PGA Tour win, but it is easy to understand why. His long iron play and distance off the tee should make him perfectly suited for this track.
  • Fade: None - All five players rank in the top nine for me, including Burns, Zalatoris, Garcia and Im being the top four players for the week.
  • Most Likely Winner: Will Zalatoris ($10,800)

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

  • Safest Play: Cameron Tringale ($9,400) - Cameron Tringale's lack of upside sometimes worries me for GPP contests, but he has continued to shine over the last few months with countless top-25 finishes/
  • Most Upside: Mito Periera ($9,900) - Three top-sixes over his last five tournaments, Mito Periera is showing the talent that might make him this year's Will Zalatoris. 
  • Favorite GPP Play: Cameron Davis ($9,100) - Cameron Davis is one of my favorite plays that is going under the radar early on in the week. Sixth here last year, which isn’t the be-all, end-all, but his distance and birdie-making prowess might shine through nicely. Davis is currently under 10 percent owned and ranks fourth in my upside model. 
  • Fade: Sebastian Munoz ($9,300) - Munoz's 2019 victory at the venue has given him a price boost.
  • Most Likely Winner: Mito Periera ($9,900) 

 

$8,000 Range

  • Safest Play: Seamus Power ($8,800)
  • Most Upside: Matthew Wolff ($8,500)
  • Favorite GPP Play: Matthew Wolff ($8,500)
  • Fade: C.T. Pan ($8,100)
  • Most Likely Winner: I'll go with a name other than Matthew Wolff for some diversity in this article. Carlos Ortiz ($8,600)

 

Low-Priced DraftKings DFS Players To Consider ($7,000)

  • Safest Play: Taylor Pendrith ($7,800)
  • Most Upside: Luke List ($7,500)
  • Favorite GPP Play: Keith Mitchell ($7,800)
  • Fade: Chez Reavie ($9,800)
  • Most Likely Winner: Luke List ($7,500)

 

Sub-$6,000 Options To Consider

Here are a few of my preferred $6,000 shots:

Grayson Sigg ($6,900), Hudson Swafford ($6,900), Kevin Tway ($6,800), John Augenstein ($6,700), Anirban Lahiri ($6,200), Davis Thompson $6,100
