Cash Lineup Review: The American Express

Our Adam Levitan devised a tried and true method for reviewing his NFL DFS cash lineups every week. And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. My goal here is simply to apply Adam’s structure to PGA DFS cash lineups.

To steal directly from Adam, I play around 50-75% of my action each week in “cash games”. Cash games refer to any contest in which roughly 50% of the field gets paid out, such as head-to-heads, double-ups, or 50/50s.

Each week, I’ll review my cash-game lineup in this space. Sometimes I’ll lose, but hopefully I’ll win more often. Either way, I’ll post it here and give you my thought process. For more on PGA cash game strategy, see my How to Beat PGA DFS Cash Games article.

Each year, the Amex presents a unique format for the PGA Tour. Besides being a pro-am, the tournament is also played across three different courses. While I always want to at least consider course history when constructing my cash lineup, I made it a little bit of a bigger priority this week. I wasn’t necessarily looking for players who had a perfect record at the Amex in the past, but I didn’t want to take on the risk of players learning three new courses all at once for the first time.
