2023 PGA Championship: Notes​

Oak Hill Golf Course is a renowned golf course located in Pittsford, New York, just outside of Rochester. The course has a rich history, having hosted numerous major championships, including the US Open, PGA Championship, and Ryder Cup. It was designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1926.


Oak Hill has been known for its challenging layout, with narrow fairways and a mix of doglegs, bunkers, and water hazards, but this year’s incarnation isn’t going to resemble the other grand-scale events you may remember from years past. Be it any of the three previous PGA Championships, the 1989 US Open or the 1995 Ryder Cup. You may think the 2013 leaderboard of Jason Dufner triumphing over Jim Furyk points you in the proper skill set direction, but that may not be the case in 2023.


In 2019, the club orchestrated a near-total remodel of the East Course by architect Andrew Green, returning it much to its original design by Donald Ross in 1924:


“Green’s work at Oak Hill changed its complexion entirely. He remodeled every green complex, fairway and landing zone to resurrect the original Ross character and spaciousness of the East Course that had been intentionally and unintentionally eradicated by 70 years of growth and architectural alteration. When Ross constructed the course in 1924 on mostly bare farmland (the property was already called Oak Hill, even though it had few trees), the holes were expansive with segmented, broad-shouldered greens and deep, scruffy bunkers.


Green’s renovation moved Oak Hill back toward this complexion by reclaiming fairway widths, and through the removal of thousands of oaks, elms, maples and other varietals, opening up sightlines across the property unimaginable a decade ago when Jason Dufner held off Jim Furyk during the last PGA Championship played here. Three new holes were also built, and Green found more than 200 yards of additional teeing space, bringing the championship distance to just shy of 7,400 yards.”


— Golf Digest


While the fairways have been widened, minimally, they remain quite narrow by weekly PGA TOUR standards, but it’s the removal of those trees which should alter the strategy. In 2013, it was imperative to find the short grass off the tee. This is how Henrik Stenson, Jonas Blixt, David Toms, and Zach Johnson all joined Duf Daddy and Furyk inside the top 8 finishers. Overall, 13 of the Top 18 finishers gained strokes on the field in accuracy.


This isn’t to downplay the importance of accuracy this week. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who will tell you, at any course, missing the fairway makes things easier than finding it. With the removal of over 600 trees, however, there are now spots to actually miss on the grounds. It wasn’t that the rough was so penal if you missed the fairway you had to hack it back out. No. It was the massive amount of wooded areas that affected the path to the green. With so many of those out of the picture, bombers can get away with a few more wayward drives and still recover. More so with the course extended over 200 yards.


Even with the plus distance, approaches from 175 yards and beyond will prove to be the most critical into the elevated putting surfaces. Beyond the rudimentary “be good at driving and irons”, having a fatal flaw in any of the four major SG metrics is almost an automatic disqualification at Oak Hill. The green in regulation percentage in 2013 was 56%, and it may be lower this time around with the redesign. Players’ short games will be tested. A player like Scottie Scheffler can mask his horrid putting since his around-the-green magic is bountiful, but any player who struggles to chip and putt paints a thick red line through their names.


Over the last 24 rounds, notable players who rank in the bottom 25% of the field in SG: ATG + SG: PUTT — Nick Hardy, Viktor Hovland, Davis Riley, Davis Thompson, Kevin Kisner, Corey Conners, Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Taylor Pendrith. Look, talents like Morikawa, Hovland, Young, and Conners can overcome these issues for one week, or come close to leading the field in GIR and ball striking to limit the number of times they’ll actually need a short game. But it’s a tough scene where one bad chip can result in a blow-up number. Two times, and you’re probably done. Feels like they’re drawing to fewer outs and all the other elite-level players.

2023 PGA Championship Picks​

Cameron Smith


Priced down since The Masters, the reigning Open Champion may have the perfect game for the 2023 version of Oak Hill. He sprays it off the tee, this we know, of the course seems far more forgiving this time around. And once Smith is off the tee, he’s still of the best players on the planet. Since his poor start to LIV 2023, he’s piled up three Top 6 finishes in the three events since Augusta and has the required touch green side and from the sand to avoid bleeding strokes to the field. If you believe he’s still a Top-5 talent in the world, this is a gift of a price point on DraftKings.





Rickie Fowler


For all the crap that’s been piled on Rickie the past few years, with me near the front of that bus, he’s slowly climbing his way back into the upper level of talent on the PGA TOUR. Fowler hasn’t missed a cut in 2023, with six Top-20 finishes in his past eight starts. (Six of which were elevated events) While he’s yet to truly be in contention in any event, we don’t need him to be at his price this week. Over the past 36 rounds, he’s gained the 11th most strokes of any player in the field, led mainly by his irons (7th) and putter (19th) in that span while still being above field average off the tee and around the greens.

2023 PGA Championship Course Preview​

Oak Hill: Par 70, 7,394 yards


Greens: Bentgrass


Designer: Architect (year): Donald Ross (1926)


Restoration Architect (year): Andrew Green (2019)


Similar Courses: Winged Foot, TPC Potomac


Oak Hill is set to host the PGA Championship for the fourth time in the course’s history. The New York venue is set just outside Rochester and will play as a longer par 70 at right around 7,400 yards. That is about 300 yards longer than it played in 2013. The course is a Donald Ross design, of which there are many on the PGA, the most prominent being Sedgefield, East Lake and Detroit Golf Club. While the last two times Oak Hill hosted in a major there were eclectic leaderboards, the recent renovations done to the venue mean expect the course to play more like the longer classic courses on the PGA, which generally produce extremely high-end winners. That must be considered this week in PGA DFS.


Routing-wise, there is not anything fancy about Oak Hill. Many of the holes are straightforward with a few doglegs thrown in. Players will be challenged by tree-lined fairways and more importantly rough that is being grown out to make the course more challenging. Given the strength of modern golfers, do not expect to see a ton of clubbing down off the tee. Many trees have been cut down in the renovations which should give players a chance to hit driver on a ton of holes.


The par-70 venue is also par-4 heavy, meaning par-4 performance will be key (as it often is). Both par 5’s are over 590 yards, so routine birdies will not be the case on those holes. Additionally, while there are seven par-4s that measure over 450 yards, there are also plenty of shorter ones that should allow for scoring. Expect a similar story to last year, when both Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris finished top 3 in par-4 efficiency.


Oak Hill is in the Northeastern United States and the PGA has played numerous majors and FedEx Cup playoff events in this region over the last decade. Performance at places like Shinnecock Hills, Winged Foot, Beth Page Black, and Liberty National are all good comparisons. Golfers who have performed well at those courses could see their games translate, making them interesting DFS plays.

the cut

How is the cut line determined?​

The low 70 players and ties will play the weekend, unlike a standard PGA TOUR event where the cut is the low 65 and ties.

What is the projected cut line for the PGA Championship as of now?​

Right now the projected cut line is +4, with 85 players surviving to the weekend, and 15 on that number exactly. But this will fluctuate all day long, and might move higher as course conditions get more difficult later in the day.

Who is not projected to make the cut?​

Congrats to PGA teaching pro Gabe Reynolds on playing in a major, but he’s at +20 thru 12 holes today. He’s the caboose on this 156-man train and seems likely to stay in that spot.


Seamus Power and Webb Simpson are both +8 on their front nine Friday, and will need to find some birdies coming in to play the weekend. Talor Gooch and Danny Willett at +7 are in the same boat.

Perks of winning the PGA Championship​

Aside from the money, the winner also gets to take home the massive Wanamaker Trophy for one year. When they say it’s the biggest trophy in golf, in terms of physical size they certainly mean it. After they return it the following year before the start of the tournament, the winner receives a replica of the trophy that they permanently own.


The winner will also earn 600 FedExCup points and 100 OWGR points (good to put you at the top of the charts for well over a year), as well as a lifetime exemption to the PGA Championship. There’s also a five-year exemption to the other three majors, and a five-year PGA TOUR card and DP World Tour card. Basically for the next half-decade, you can play in any professional golf tournament in the world you wish. That’s a huge advantage for creating a schedule for any player.


There’s also the bevy of endorsement opportunities, the berth in the Sentry Tournament of Champions the following season, and plenty of points towards a potential Ryder Cup spot for any American or European player as well.
