The 2025 Waste Management Phoenix Open: Fantasy Golf Picks & Strategy Guide

The Waste Management Phoenix Open is this week, and it is the first truly good betting and DFS that we have had thus far. The process this week also seems pretty straightforward in terms of where we will be able to find success for the People Open.

For the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2025 from a Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) perspective, here’s what you need to know:

- Effective Birdie to Bogey Ratio (Combination Stat – Bogey Avoidance and B2B) Key Stat 1
- Good Drive % (GD %) Key Stat 2
- Total Driving (TD) Key Stat 3
- Ball Striking (BS) Key Stat 4
- Strokes Gained Around the Green (SG ARG) Key Stat 5
This is one of the courses that rewards golfers who are playing well, and penalizes golfers that are not.

Fantasy Golf Picks: Who to Watch

Building your fantasy golf lineup for this event can feel like putting together IKEA furniture—daunting at first but immensely satisfying when it all comes together. Here’s what FantasyTeamAdvisors.com recommends:

Top Picks: Target golfers who thrive on precision and adaptability, as the course rotation demands a well-rounded game. Players with a proven track record at La Quinta should top your list.
Value Plays: Look for the underdogs. These are the players flying under the radar but showing flashes of brilliance in recent tournaments. They’ll stretch your budget and your lead in fantasy points.
Lineup Strategy: Balance is key. Go big on a couple of marquee players, then fill out your roster with strategic value picks to stay within budget.

Expert Strategy Tips

Course History Matters: Players who’ve previously excelled on these courses (or ones like them) are more likely to shine.
Adaptability Wins: With three courses in rotation, flexibility is king. Look for golfers who perform well across diverse course types.
Weather Watch: Always keep an eye on the weather forecast—it can dramatically shift the odds.
