The 2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open is set to kick off on Thursday, February 10th through the 13th. Though the season is still young, many players are looking to make a statement this weekend.
Golf in 2021 went one of two ways depending on who you ask. If you ask your average PGA Tour fan, they would tell you that last year provided some of the most electric golf seen in the past few seasons. If you asked my playing partner they would tell you that it was unbelievably brutal to watch.
2021 has been a memorable year for 29-year-old Hideki Matsuyama as he captured his second PGA Tour victory in the calendar year on Sunday at the Zozo Championship. This is his seventh PGA Tour win and sits one shy of K.J. Choi as the leader in PGA Tour wins for Asian-born players.
For the second week in a row, we have a new course and a new tournament to the PGA Tour. This week it’s the 3M Open that will be hosted by TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. The course is a Par 71, 7,468 yards with bentgrass greens, 27 water hazards, and 72 bunkers. The course served as host to the PGA Tour Champions event, the 3M Championship from 2001 to 2018. Late in 2018, Tom Lehman and PGA Tour staff began designing and renovating the course to make it more challenging and up to standards for PGA Tour play. The course has been lengthened and short par 5s have now become long par 4s. We still should see a lot of low scores, but the water hazards and bunkers will be enough to keep the cut line reasonable. Unlike last week, where it was at a ridiculously low marker. With all of that said, let’s get into some DFS picks I like for this week’s Fourth of July tournament, the 3M Open.
Passionate golf fans throughout the state of Michigan are jumping with joy to see big-time golf back in Michigan. The state hasn’t hosted a PGA Tour event since Tiger Woods won the Buick Open for the third time in 2009. Mainly due to the automotive industry going down the tubes and eventually causing the population to decrease and the city of Detroit to file America’s largest municipal bankruptcy on July 18, 2013. So, this is more than just a tournament to a lot of Michigan natives. This symbolizes sort of a restoration or upswing in prominence and stability for the city of Detroit, Michigan. The Rocket Mortgage Classic or “Detroit’s major” as it reads from a billboard hanging above 7 Mile Road, will mark the first PGA Tour event ever within the city limits of Detroit.
