PGA DFS DraftKings Pivots: Sleepers and Value Picks - The Memorial

Rob Giltner breaks down some DraftKings DFS pivots, value plays, and sleepers for the 2022 The Memorial . Daily fantasy golf advice on under-owned golfers and who to avoid for your lineups.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my PGA DFS Pivots for DraftKings! This week, the PGA event is The Memorial.

The PGA Tour returns to Jack's place for the 2022 edition of The Memorial. This is an invitational with a field of 120 players. This smaller field will make 6/6 cut percentages higher. With it being a tad easier to make the cut; don't be afraid to play riskier plays that you feel may have possible upside.

With it being such a strong field, ownership appears to be pretty spread out near the top of the board. No need to really overthink anything with the best players in the world.

The Memorial - DFS Lineup Pivots 

Pivot Off: Shane Lowry ($9,000)- Shane Lowry is currently projected to be one of the highest-owned golfers in the field. Lowry has had a strong year. He started with a second at The Honda and then recorded four straight top 15-place finishes. Lowry also recorded back-to-back third-place finishes at The Masters and The RBC Heritage. His strong performance is a big factor in his ownership. He also has decent course history; he finished in sixth place last year.

Lowry has gained strokes putting in his last seven out of eight events. He has also gained strokes putting in five events in a row. Lowry has had a similar hot putter run before in his career. In 2019 he gained strokes putting in five straight events and then went on to lose strokes putting in his next five out of six events. The purpose of this information is just to remind the putting is a high variance metric. And with Lowry’s high ownership, I am willing to fade him with the hope that he has some regression with the putter.

Pivots

 Sung-Jae Im ($8,900) – Sung-Jae Im is currently projected to be lesser owned than almost every golfer above him salary-wise. Im had Covid last month and was forced to miss the PGA Championship. He returned nicely last week at The Charles Schwab. Im finished in 15^th place gaining 9.4 strokes tee-to-green. After a disappointing early start of the year, Im has seemed to found his form. Course history truthers will look at his history at this event and write him off. But if we look closely, we can see that each time Im has played at Memorial he has come into the week in bad form. Last year he missed the cut the tournament before. In 2020 he finished in 63^rd place the week before. And in 2019 he had another missed cut the week before. Im could present us with some possible leverage.

Seamus Power ($8,000) – Seamus Power is currently projected to be in the single digits ownership wise. Excluding The Masters, Powers had lost strokes on approach in five straight events. He broke that streak at The PGA Championship where he recorded a top 10 place finish and gained 3.5 strokes on approach. Power has now also gained strokes tee-to-green in two straight events. If Powers ball-striking trend continues he could provide some nice upside at low ownership.

Cameron Davis ($7,200) -Cameron Davis is currently projected to be in the low single digits. The Aussie has quietly played some great golf lately. He recorded a top 10 place finish last week where he gained 6.4 strokes tee-to-green and 3.2 on approach. It was his sixth tournament in a row gaining strokes on approach. While he has not made a cut in two starts at this event, he has not arrived in this type of form before.
