Maximize Your Points
🎯 Target Birdie Machines
Focus on players with high birdie rates. Consistent birdie-makers accumulate points faster than players who rely on occasional eagles. Check recent tournament stats to find players averaging 4+ birdies per round.
📊 Balance Risk and Consistency
Mix aggressive players (high eagle potential) with steady performers (low bogey rates). A balanced lineup minimizes negative points while maintaining upside for big scores.
🏆 Tournament Finish Bonuses
Top 10 and Top 5 bonuses are huge point multipliers. Research players' history at specific courses and prioritize those with strong finishing records.
✂️ The Cut is Critical
Missing the cut costs you 5 points AND eliminates weekend scoring opportunities. Always check projected cut lines and avoid bubble players unless they offer exceptional value.
⛳ Course History Matters
Players perform differently on various course types. Par-3 specialists, links course experts, and long drivers each have advantages. Match player strengths to course characteristics.
🌟 Captain Strategy
If your contest includes a captain option (1.5x points), choose a player with both high floor and high ceiling. Recent form and favorable course matchup are key factors.
Lineup Building Strategy
Success in fantasy golf requires more than understanding points. Study player form, weather forecasts, tee times, and course setups. Elite players offer safety but cost more, while value picks provide roster flexibility. Balance your lineup across all price tiers and always have a mix of proven champions and rising stars.
