Restart Surivior
It finally happened. The restart survivor league IS HERE!!!!!! It starts in Week 7 (you can make your picks starting next Tuesday fyi). And since it was delayed in coming out, they’ve decided to make it FREEEEEEEEE to play and have $5,000 up top. There’s no legitimate reason not to play. Takes about 43 second to sign up, and less than 10s to make your pick every week, and you may win $5K.
PLAY IN RESTART SURIVIOR LEAGUE
Do me a favor and tell some people about it too. The more people who sign up, the more FREE MONEY they’ll give me to make a massive prize pool one to start next year. But if we don’t get the numbers, then they wont'. So let jam it full.
And let’s face it, you’re probably out of your Week 1 Survivor League anyway. REDEMTION TIME!!!!!!!

Shriners Picks & Bets
I jumped the gun early on Hojgaard & Kim, you can get better numbers on them today. That Schenk number is gone, but I still like him at 33/1.
Adam Schenk — The worry is that Schenk hasn’t played since the TOUR Championship, which was in the middle of August, and knocking off the rust, even if it’s for a round, is enough to put in too far behind in a birdfest. If that worries you; take a pass, PALLLLLLLL!!!! If it doesn’t you’ll get access to a player with six Top 10s in his past 11 starts, including two in the FedEx Cup playoffs against the best players on TOUR. Of note, this event doens’t have the best players on TOUR. Additionally, Schenk’s made the cut in Vegas in five of six starts, including consecutive Top 12 finishes.
Nicolai Hojgaard — Fresh off his Ryder Cup debut, the young Danish bomber is a prime breakthrough candidate while others are focused on Aberg. Despite no PGA results since the Wyndham (T14), Hojgaard did the European gauntlet in the run up to the Ryder Cup where he posted two Top 5 finishes in his las three starts.
SH Kim — One missed cut is getting a better price with the lesser known Kim. He finished T4 here a year ago, and opened the season in Napa with a T2. As long as he doesn’t donk off too many strokes with his irons, he has the rest of the game to contend again.
Callum Tarren — The Tarren Empire went true to his mirror universe self in Jackson last week, breaking a string of five consecutive starts in the positives putting by dropping six to the field with the flat stick. Of note: He was still fourth in the field T2G (+7.4); that was a follow up to his +7.5 gained in his T7 at the Fortinet. Hopefully the switch back to bent from Bermuda, Tarren’s best surface, is enough to match the hot rest of his game.
