Do you want the most amount of information jammed into as little time as possible. SOLUTION!!!!! Rick and I went player by player and broke down the pros and cons of each player (well, basically every player) and assesed their projected ownership. in the $25 DraftKings contest.
WATCH: PLAYERS Championship Individual Player Profiles
I even broke it down by times incase you want to jump to a player in particular. This is one of my favorite shows to record, and we only get to do it five times a year, so I. hope you enjoy it.
If you did enjoy, consider leaving an audio podcast review for The PME. Per usual during big weeks, I’m offering up cash giveaways in exchange for some audio ratings and reviews. Discoverability is nearly impossible on Apple and Spotify but the more ratings and reviews we can get the more people will find the show, which in turn means more shows!
Leave a 5-star rating and review for the Pat Mayo Experience audio podcast (Sub to it too btw), and leave your twitter handle or email in the review so I can contact you if you win. Even if you’ve done this before, update your old one or leave a new one to get in draw. I’m giving three lucky people $100. We’ll announce the winners on Wednesdays LIVE show.

“Sources” tell me Webb may not be completely healthy. This is all conjecture, mind you, but it seems suspicious he didn’t come back for any tune up before trying to win THE PLAYERS. Reminds me a lot of Brooks at Augusta last year. A trap I fell for. I could be way off and Webb may be great, but the prudent move is loading up against him. It’s worth noting that most major sports books don’t have Webb listed in any head-to-head matchups or as a part of the make/miss cut props. You really need to dig to find them. Plus, he’s ANDERCURSED!!!!!!
I’ll have more adds Wednesday when I do the LIVE CHAT with Tambo (12pm ET on MMN YouTube; On Demand after on the pod feed)

Click on that and set a reminder.
WEATHER
It’s gonna be cold and rainy. Even worse than it looked yesterday. This will likely cause delays in play and likely Lift, Clean, and Place potenitally, which would put an even great emphasis on fairway finders. I did LOL at the 44mph wind gusts on Saturday morning, though.
Who knows if that holds up come Saturday morning, but there’s a chance the weather pushes the conclusion of the second round until the morning on Saturday. Meaning, guys from the AM/PM way walk into the worst of the weather while trying to make the cut. It’s unlikely this will happen, but it’s definitely possible right now.
Here’s the link to the weather tower I’m using so you can keep checking back for updates.
If this keeps up, you better believe I’m going to build some exclusive PM/AM teams on DraftKings and hope ot get lucky. Not everyone will get pushed to Saturday AM, unless it’s a real shitshow, but the later Friday draw may have to deal with it. Here’s the late PM tee times for Friday…
SEASON LONG CONTEST vs MAYO
If you want a change of pace for Fantasy Golf I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!!! Fan Team has a season-long contest starting at THE PLAYERS with €5K to first and €25K in the prize pool. You draft a team of 10 for the season and play six players per week from now through the Wyndham Championship. You can make a few add/drops throughout the season and can completely blow it up and redraft once during the year. I suggest you read all the rules however. It’s a really cool format and it allows you to take me one week after week for only $25 with over $5K going to first place.
It’s available to Euros, Canadians, and Americans in like half of the states. Plus, if use code “MMN” at deposit, you’ll get a FREE ENTRY into their €10K PLAYERS DFS contest too. So, deposit $25 using code “MMN” and take a shot at a free roll for THE PLAYERS. You can even use Fantasy National to make your Fan Team DFS picks now too. It’s really a no brainer. ANDDDDDD if you use code “MMN” you’ll get your ticket into the players, and get into a draw with the others who’ve used code “MMN” to get a bunch of FREE ENTRIES into their big mponey Masters contest in a month.
PLAY AT FAN TEAM USING CODE “MMN” IN USA
PLAY AT FAN TEAM USING CODE “MMN” REST OF WORLD
I’m going to recuirt some of the show regualrs to play in the season long contest with me, and you can see who you beat. I won’t reveal my entrie squad but here’s who I’m rolling out at Sawgrass along with my Captian and Underdog player. (You select your captian, and your underdog is your lowest priced player. They both score 1.25x). Scoring is almost the same as DK scoring if you were wondering.
Oh, you can also play H2H on Fan Team too. So, you should do that. They have a slew avaiulable for this week.
Take your pick.

Over the past 3 Players, 8 different players have finished with at least a share of a top 2 spot. They all entered with in strong form Around The Green and 7 of them flashed that form at Sawgrass.
2021 Justin Thomas
Gained 2.9 at THE PLAYERS (gained 2.2 in his tournament prior)
2021 Lee Westwood
Gained 2.5 at THE PLAYERS (gained 4.1 in his tournament prior)
2019 Rory McIlroy
Gained 1.5 at THE PLAYERS (gained ARG in each of his 4 lead-in tournaments)
2019 Jim Furyk

2018 Webb Simpson

2018 Xander Schauffele
Gained 6.5 at THE PLAYERS (his best week ARG in his career, gained 2.7 in his tournament prior)
2018: Charl Schwartzel
The exception: -0.1 ARG at THE PLAYERS (but the form was still there, gained ARG in the two lead-in tournaments and the two after)
2018 Jimmy Walker
Gained 3.1 at THE PLAYERS (gained 4.5 ARG in the tournament prior: two straight with 3+ SG:ARG for the first time since 2012)
So who are some players entering this week in strong form Around The Green?
Lanto Griffin: Entered API having gained ARG in a career high 4 straight (lost -0.7 at API, but could still argue overall decent form)
Chris Kirk: hasn’t lost ARG since August , picked up 4.8 at Honda (4th best showing of his career and 4th best in the field that week)
Cam Smith: 4th best in ARG at Genesis (+3.8), has gained in 5 straight
Joaquin Niemann: 2nd best in ARG at Genesis (+5.1), gained at Honda despite missing the cut
Patrick Cantlay: has gained over 1.5 SG:ARG in 3 straight (just the second time he’s done that in his career)
Webb Simpson: +1.3 ARG at the Sony Open, about the only thing that went right for him that week, has gained ARG in each of his past 5 events (was the best in the field at the CJ Cup in October)
