PGA Championship - liveanddiedeac wins again!

2017 PGA Championship Contest - Entries due 7:00 am EST, Thursday 8/10

The PGA Championship, aka the least important major no matter whether they host it in August or in May (as will be the case starting in 2018). Taking place this year in Charlotte, NC at Quail Hollow.

FORMAT: Listed below are most of the golfers participating in the The PGA Championship. You need to pick 6 of them with a total value of 400 or more. Pick carefully - your team will end up "missing the cut" if more than two of your golfers miss the cut in the event. To make your selections, send me an email with the golfers' names and point values.

SCORING: Your score will be the aggregate of your best four golfers. Since you have to have at least four scores counting, if more than two of your golfers miss the cut, so does your team. There are also "bonus points" at the end of the tournament. If you've got the champion golfer on your team, it's -5. The runner-up gets you -3, and having the third-place golfer gets you -1 off your score.

DEADLINE: All entries must be sent to me by 7:00 AM Thursday, August 10th.

Is 7 the worst "odds" we have seen for an overall before?

I think Spieth was a 0 in one of the majors two years ago. Maybe Rory at Augusta also.

Right, I feel like we normally have someone in the 0-4 range. 7 is the lowest. (Confusing when trying to use lowest vs. highest in this situation, so I hope that made sense).

In at 402

Also in at 402. Thanks Tim.

Thanks to timdunk for taking over!

When matt ran the contest in the Tiger era, Tiger was usually -10.

ohhhhhh i see. i think sleepy adjusts the numbers, i pretty much just posted the odds (except for moving 10-15 people from 150 to 125).

In at 410.

Thanks Tim for doing this.

In!

In @ 400

Trying to put all the picks together now but very busy. Coming soon.

I took Snedeker again. I didn't know this time either. What happens now, the same as before? If so, I'll take Russell Henley.

The individual picks are behind a spoiler tag in the second post of the thread. Here is a graph of the breakdown:

Also, for the record, I have the EXACT same six as TBDeac. I made my picks on Monday night for my money league.

Bubba is in a zone......:golfclap:

Missed submission

Would have picked
Spieth
Rory
Matsuyama
Haas
Furyk
Snedeker (Molinari)

And Snedeker WD. Wonderful.
