What is current form in golf?

You will hear these buzzwords often in DFS golf, and it is sort of akin to the “BvP” debate in baseball. Golf is very much a mental game, so current form is a factor you need to consider. If a guy has put up a top ten finish in three straight tournaments, he’s probably got something good working for him. Conversely, if a guy has missed five straight cuts, he’s probably trying to work things out. That is the “current form” part of the debate, and most people agree that it is important. The “course history” piece is more polarizing. However, there are certain guys that just tend to do better on certain tracks. If a guy has played a tournament 15 times without ever missing a cut, it’s safe to say that he likes playing on that course. As a recreational golfer myself (albeit a terrible one), there are just some courses that I like playing better than others. A professional golfer is no different.

There is something to be said about this approach, and it helped me enjoy watching golf on television. Yes, it’s more exciting than most people make it out to be (I will admit there is plenty of opinion in that statement).
