The PGA Bacon Station is the FTA golf research board. Every golfer in this week’s field, graded on the four things that decide a DFS week: strokes gained splits, course history at this venue, recent form, and how well a player’s game fits the course.

Course DNA sits at the top of the tool. Those weights are measured, not assumed. For each strokes gained component we take its spread among the field at this course, multiply it by how strongly it tracked scoring there, and average across every past edition played at the venue. At a short par 70 with twelve par 4s that lands approach heavy, and the tool says so in plain language rather than making you infer it.

Course history is per edition and venue verified. You get the finish and the strokes gained for each prior start at this exact course. Events move venues and change names, so a finish list built from the calendar slot rather than the golf course is worse than no history at all.

Recent form covers the last eight events with finishes, strokes gained and cut streaks. Free visitors see the core columns plus SG Total, scoring and driving. FTA+ unlocks course fit, the full strokes gained splits, course history, recent form, approach, short game, putting and streaks, along with the CSV export.

The research here is deliberately kept separate from salary, ownership and projections. Those live in the PGA DFS Cheat Sheet and the PGA DFS Sims.
