2026 Canadian Open DraftKings Snake Draft | King of the Draft Qualifier + Cust Corner & Judge Cust
The Pat Mayo Experience kicks off a high-stakes King of the Draft qualifier with a live snake draft on DraftKings for the 2026 Canadian Open, featuring Pat Mayo, Blickle, Ben Raza, and Tim Cust. The episode blends golf strategy with sharp banter, as each participant reveals their draft philosophy—Tim leans into high-risk, high-reward picks like Sam Burns and Tom Kim, while Ben prioritizes Euro talent and volatility. A standout moment comes when Tim defends his decision to leave $1,000 unused on the table, arguing that maximizing value isn't his goal—winning the draft is. The show also dives into absurd cultural observations, including a heated debate over garden centers in grocery store parking lots and a courtroom-style 'Judge Cust' segment that delivers a surprisingly fair verdict on whether to exclude a potentially volatile friend from a small golf trip. The episode closes with a viral-worthy moment: Tim’s unapologetic defense of his World Cup bracket predictions, even as listeners accuse him of cheating—despite having no prep time.
Leave $1,000 on the table if it means building a team of your top six picks, not maximizing salary value.
In small golf trips, excluding a fringe acquaintance who’s overly opinionated is a smart move to protect group dynamics.
Garden centers in parking lots are a growing phenomenon, but they’re not worth sacrificing parking space or peace of mind.
A two-way miss in golf often stems from getting stuck inside the swing plane—fix it by keeping the club in front of you.
The best DFS strategy isn’t always the most balanced lineup—it’s the one that reflects your confidence in specific players.

King of the Draft Qualifier: Live Snake Draft Kickoff

Cus Corner: The Garden Center Epidemic
“I don't understand why we need to take up valuable parking spots for those of us who'd rather park in that area and have a little bit of space.”
Judge Cust: The Fringe Friend Dilemma
“When you're in a group of 16 people, if somebody is being a lunatic, you can walk away from that person and you can sort of like protect your peace a little bit. You can't do that when it's just four of you.”
“When you're in a group of 16 people, if somebody is being a lunatic, you can walk away from that person and you can sort of like protect your peace a little bit. You can't do that when it's just four of you and you're playing in the same foursomes every time.”
“like 10 minutes ago. Literally no idea. Uh, so I saw it. I said, wow, that's a cool idea. I wonder who's in it. And I scrolled down and lo and behold, I made the bracket.”
“I'm not interested in maximizing value. I'm trying to pick the six guys I think is going to do the best.”
