Best Life These 4 Beloved Foods Are Disappearing From Grocery Shelves, Experts Warn Thanks to the COVID pandemic, we’re no strangers to major shortages of household staples. Last year at this time, toilet paper and cleaning supplies were almost impossible to find and prices surged, making these necessities a luxury. Now, with more and more people in the U.S. getting vaccinated, it may feel as if the end of the pandemic is just around the corner, but the lingering effects of the last year are… Source link

The PGA TOUR heads to TPC San Antonio for this week’s Valero Texas Open. It’s a short journey for the stars in the field who played in Austin last week. They will return to the Lone Star State in May. There is plenty of course history to lean on this week as TPC San Antonio has hosted here since 2010. However, most of those editions were not played a week before the Masters. There are few added elements to the course setup that come into play when that’s the case. So, instead of relying too… Source link

The cutline carnage should continue this week as the TOUR hops from one water-heavy course to another. The Honda Classic takes place at PGA National’s Champion Course which has water in play on 15 holes. The field averages roughly 2.36 double bogeys or worse per 72 holes at this week’s venue. That is the highest number of any course on the regular PGA TOUR rota. Don’t get too comfortable or confident about any DFS plays this week because nobody is immune to a big number when it comes to water… Source link

The Honda Classic Palm Beach Gardens, FloridaPGA National (Champion) – Par 70 – 7,125 yardsField – 144 entrantsPurse – $7M The Preview Wedged between the PLAYERS Championship and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play only a few weeks before the Masters, this year’s Honda Classic serves as an underwhelming finale to the Florida Swing with zero attendees located higher than 18th in the Official World Golf Ranking. Nonetheless, those who appreciate carnage on the course could be in for a treat as… Source link

A star-studded field heads to TPC Sawgrass for this week’s PLAYERS Championship. THE PLAYERS is one of the biggest events all season and it comes at a time without as much cross-sport action. That means huge prize pools across the DFS industry including over at Yahoo Fantasy Sports. We are going to focus on Yahoo today as we sift through some stats. With 154 golfers lining up to start the week, it will be tough to land 6-of-6 golfers through the cutline. It should be a top priority to target… Source link

THE PLAYERS Championship Ponte Vedra Beach, FloridaTPC Sawgrass – Par 72 – 7,189 yardsField – 154 entrantsPurse – $15M The Preview A nearly $6M increase in purse size accompanies the Florida Swing’s transition from Arnie’s place to TPC Sawgrass, where the PGA Tour’s so-called fifth major was halted after just one round of play in 2020 due to the initial wave of COVID-19 concerns.  Stacked fields have been a common theme ever since last year’s three-month hiatus, and this week will be no… Source link

Advancing onto leg two of the Florida Swing, a field of 123 golfers will turn their attention toward Arnold Palmer‘s Bay Hill Club & Lodge this week. This is a course we know very well but there is always a new batch of golfers that are playing it for the first or second time. That is where stats come in handy. They can help us pluck out potential course horses before they stamp their mark. The two areas I’m going to dive into today are bermudagrass putting performance and par-5… Source link

WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession Bradenton, FloridaThe Concession Golf Club – Par 72 – 7,474 yardsField – 73 entrantsPurse – $10.5M The Preview An eruption of euphoria accompanied bargain-bin special Max Homa‘s hometown win in dramatic playoff fashion at Riviera this past week, as a handful of memorably-absurd shots down the stretch preceded a trophy handoff from his golf hero, Tiger Woods. Moods have since turned somber upon the news of Woods’ accident, but he thankfully avoided the… Source link

The PGA TOUR hangs around California for one more week as they take on Riviera Country Club for The Genesis Invitational. This classical course can beat you up quickly if you’re not on your game. There are eight holes that yield bogey or worse more than 20 percent of the time. On the flip side, there are just four holes that surrender birdies or better to more than 20% of the field. Pars are your friend this week and chipping in an eagle or two along the way always helps. It’s the par-5 first… Source link

Genesis Invitational Pacific Palisades, CaliforniaRiviera Country Club – Par 71 – 7,322 yardsField – 120 entrantsPurse – $9.3M The Preview A combination of household names in Daniel Berger, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay provided enough drama near the top of the leaderboard at last week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to make up for the otherwise underwhelming list of attendees, but competition levels ramp back up this week as Riviera Country Club hosts a major-esque field of 120 invitees a week… Source link
