The PLAYERS Championship
The Florida swing heads to the Jacksonville area and the famed 17th island green. TPC Sawgrass is a Pete Dye course that, much like last couple weeks, can be pretty tricky especially with the wind starts to blow. This is a super strong field with almost the entirety of the world’s top 50 playing and we will almost certainly see some shocking people miss the cut.
I am going with about 10u of risk.

0.5u on Justin Thomas +1800
0.25u on Daniel Berger +30001

Arnold Palmer Invitational - Recap
Not a great week with a 0.8u loss but far from a disaster. As I mentioned this was a super hard course and those scores on Saturday and Sunday certainly made me look right. If only Chris Kirk could have come through for us and we would have had a monster weekend. Interesting that our action was really positive on our $25 and $50 action while the $100 deals got killed.
