Andy Lack debates whether to pick Scotty for the WM Phoenix Open, sparking curiosity about DFS strategy.
This episode is a first-look fantasy golf discussion for the 2026 Waste Management Phoenix Open, hosted by DFS analysts Brian and Ken. They begin by addressing a listener's immediate question about whether to roster top golfer Scottie Scheffler. The hosts recap their previous week's performance, noting their projections were successful but their personal lineups had mixed results. Brian mentions winning a second-place prize in a showdown contest to recoup losses. Ken states he felt his week was poor but actually won more money than the prior week. He explains this says more about his previous poor performance and describes the frustration of missing on highly-owned core players. The central debate is constructing lineups with or without the expensive Scottie Scheffler and if using him in multiple lineups is viable. They plan to analyze their previous misses in detail. A key insight is that even experts experience seasons where a core selection fails dramatically, impacting their perception of success. The tone is analytical and conversational, focused on strategy and bankroll management for daily fantasy sports. This episode is ideal for DFS golf players seeking early-week lineup construction advice and analysis of ownership strategy. Listeners not interested in fantasy golf or the specific tournament will find little relevance.
