Golf DFS PGA Championship

PGA Championship
Quail Hollo Club
August 10^th -€” 13^th

The format:
Three Premium Priced picks ($8,000+)
Two Mid-tier Priced picks ($6,000- $8,000)
Three Bargain Basement picks ($6,000-)

Pricey Picks ($8,000+)
Jon Rahm ($9,200)
Hideki Matsuyama ($8,800)
Rory McIlroy ($10,300)
Jon is coming back to form after back to back missed cuts at the Memorial and US Open. He finished 44^th at the Open Championship and 28^th last week at the World Golf Championships -€” Bridgestone Invitational. Abroad he won the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and finished 10^th at the Open de France. He has a monster drive as he is 1^st in strokes gained off the tee and 4^th in strokes gained tee to green. Hideki I discussed in my previous article is off three consecutive top 15 finishes, he's finished in the top 15 in each major this year and he was 11^th at Quail Hollow last year during the Wells Fargo Championship. Rory has a monster drive and is off back to back top 5 finishes at the Open Championship and World Golf Championship. He finished 7^th at the Masters earlier this year and missed the cut at the US Open. Rory finished 4^th at the Wells Fargo Championship last year.

Mid-Tier Pick ($6,000-$8,000):
Matt Kuchar ($7,900)
Xander Schauffele ($6,200)
Matt has finished in the top 20 in 6 of his last 7 tournaments. His results at majors this year: 2^nd, 16^th and 4^th. He's 64^th in strokes gained off the tee and 34^th in strokes gained tee to green. Xander is 31^st on the tour in strokes gained off the tee with a strong putting game too (23^rd in strokes gained putting) Over his last 6 tournaments he has finished in the top 35 in each tournament. His majors this year have been 5^th place and 20^th place, I will continue to be bullish on Xander until he misses a cut (much like Jon Rahm earlier this year).

Bargain Picks ($6,000-):
Hudson Swafford ($4,800)
Bryson DeChambeau ($5,000)
James Hahn ($5,500)
Bryson's last 6 tournaments: 26^th, 17^th, 14^th, 1^st, missed cut and 60^th. Since the streak where he missed 8 straight cuts, he's turned his game around. He should succeed here because of his driving capability where he is 24^th on the tour in strokes gained off the tee. Hudson is 29^th on the tour in strokes gained off the tee and is coming off a 10^th place finish at the World Golf Championship -€” Bridgestone Invitational. James Hahn is 63^rd in strokes gained off the tee, he's finished 10^th, 74^th, 20^th, 46^th and 6^th in his last 6 tournaments. He won the Wells Fargo Championship last year.

Average Stats (I can't go based on scores, each tournament is different contingent on how many birdies occur so I will go on finishing position which is mostly close to how well they did.)
Pricey Picks: 45th (31st percentile)
Mid-Tier Picks: 48th (34th percentile)
Bargain Picks: 62^nd (44^th percentile)
