Tournament Preview
The Northern Trust has been the opener of the FedExCup playoffs since its inceptions back in 2007. When the PGA Tour decided to decrease the playoffs from four events to three events in 2019, the Dell Technologies Championship was somewhat merged with the Northern Trust.
Champion's Profile
Liberty National gives players generous landing areas, but if you do stray from the short grass it can be pretty penal. Many of the fairway bunkers are deep and can make advancing the ball to the green a challenge. There are also a number of tee shots where water does come into play.
FanDuel Value Picks
Speaking of hitting a lot of fairways and greens, that screams Jon Rahm. He is as rested as anyone going into the playoffs having not played since his T3 at the Open Championship. Rahm leads the Tour in total driving, SG: Total, and scoring average. He is also eighth in SG: Approach, third in GIR percentage, and third in birdie average.
Strategy Tips This Week
It's not often talked about in that category, but the opening playoff event is easily one of the best fields of the entire season. There's quite a few players this week that are under $7,500 that just last week checked in pretty close to the $10,000 range. That gives DFS players plenty of options this week on how they want to play things.
Safety protocols
Gates open daily at 7 a.m. and The Northern Trust will follow CDC guidelines, with masks, social distancing and handwashing encouraged on-site.
Transportation and parking
Parking, with payment via credit card, will be available downtown near the Jersey City Medical Center. A shuttle will provide transportation to the course. To find the lot via GPS, enter “Jersey Avenue & Regent Street, Jersey City.”
