The DP World Tour will get the highlight this week and it’s not on account of their announcement on handing out more playing chances to PGA Tour members.

With the PGA Tour dormant, meaning boosted DFS prize swimming pools for the DPWT circuit.

So, what occasion will draw our consideration? It’s the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club. This course brings loads of historical past to the equation, having been used at this occasion for the reason that late 90s, barring the 2020 and 2021 editions that had been performed elsewhere throughout a Doha renovation.

Location and grass kind are two cut up stats we are able to dig into to search out some DFS worth choices and I’m going to give attention to the grass kind first.

Putting Prowess on Paspalum

Bentgrass is the commonest placing floor seen on the DP World Tour however paspalum is rising in reputation.

When course designer Peter Harradine did a current renovation at Doha he made the change to make use of Dynasty Paspalum. It’s a really salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant floor which is ideal for the realm.

Here are the highest performers in adjusted strokes gained per spherical when taking part in on programs with paspalum greens, over the past two years:

• Thorbjorn Olesen
• Rasmus Hojgaard
• Matthieu Pavon
• Pablo Larrazabal
• Marcel Siem
• Alexander Bjork
• Zander Lombard
• Richard Mansell
• Scott Jamieson
• Rikuya Hoshino
• Alejandro Del Rey
• Kazuki Higa
• Jordan Smith
• Wilco Nienaber
• Daniel Gavins

We can even take a look at efficiency versus baseline to see who exhibits the biggest enhance in efficiency in comparison with their typical scores:

• Daniel Gavins
• Zander Lombard
• Pablo Larrazabal
• Marcel Siem
• Matthieu Pavon
• Rafa Cabrera Bello
• Thorbjorn Olesen
• Wil Besseling
• Jeff Winther
• Scott Jamieson
• Rasmus Hojgaard
• Matthew Jordan
• Richard Mansell
• Ross Fisher
• Adria Arnaus

Overlap List: Names that present up on each lists embrace Thorbjorn Olesen, Rasmus Hojgaard, Matthieu Pavon, Pablo Larrazabl, Marcel Siem, Zander Lombard, Richard Mansell, Scott Jamieson, and Daniel Gavins.

Pavon is a current winner and he might get proper again into the combination if his previous efficiency on paspalum is any indicator.

Olesen with converging tendencies at Doha

The 33-year-old Dane arrives with top-20 finishes in three of his final 4 begins together with a T-9 end final week on the Andalucia Masters. His irons have constantly been higher than the sector, optimistic optimistic adjusted strokes gained strategy numbers in eight of his final 10 begins. On high of the great current kind, he additionally has historical past on paspalum, evidenced by his look on the overlap checklist above. He has extra supporting proof when diving into his course historical past at Doha as Olesen has a four-pack of high 25s on his course resume together with a pair of podiums (T-3 in 2014; T-2 in 2016). The converging tendencies make him a pleasant DFS choice to think about when on the lookout for a reputation above $10K on DraftKings.

Larrazabal placing the puzzle items collectively at Doha GC

The Spaniard’s course outcomes had been okay however nothing to jot down residence about from 2010 to 2017. Since then, he’s completed high 5 on the leaderboard in two of his final three visits to Doha GC. Last 12 months was the primary version performed with the brand new paspalum surfaces and Larrazabal completed seventh in strokes gained placing for the week (+5.24 SGP). He enters the week with middling ends in current months however does have two wins on the season so the nice play isn’t too far eliminated. Perhaps a return to some pleased searching grounds will present that spark to get him again into rivalry.
