Welcome to the first cut podcast. I'm Rick Gaiman, and we're here to break down everything you need to know, to bet and play fantasy for this week's Genesis Invitational, and to do that, as we do every Tuesday,

I've got Greg Dusharm on the line. Good morning, Greg.

Good morning. I'm doing great. This is an exciting week for fantasy golf. I mean, look at this field.

This is like a major championship. What gets better than this?

We kind of poo-poohed the field last week,

and we came on here and we were like, wow, like Brandon Grace is the ninth favorite in this field,

or like Daniel Berger is the eighth, or whatever it was, and now it's like, wow, they just

smacked us in the face with, uh, I mean, this might be the best field you get all year.

I mean, it is stacked like a WGC or like a major, but like, you know, the Masters has the past winners down at the bottom that don't really compete.

Some of the, like, the PGA championship could have like the PGA tour or the PGA pros that are like at the

bottom like this feels solid all the way through this is an unbelievable field it really is I mean

it's almost it's like a challenging thing to digest the other thing is Rick if you look at

some of these top guys they all have pretty good course history there like everybody seems to have played well here at some of these top guys, they all have pretty good course history there. Like everybody seems to

have played well here at some point. So it's a classic golf course with a great field

and it's Tiger's event, which now has elevated status. It's really cool. I mean, this,

everybody's come out to play for Tiger and it's pretty cool to see yeah so to uh reference

that a little bit so now that this is an invitational you mentioned the elevated status you get the

three years as opposed to the two year exemption for winning this event but also it shrinks the

field so we're down to 120 players in the field which means a higher percentage are going to be making the cut.

There's like a little different things like that, but you're right.

This is everyone answered the call and everyone showed up.

I think Webb, Webb Simpson is the only guy in the official World Golf rankings top 10 that is not at this event.
