DraftKings PGA DFS Lineup Picks - Masters (2026)

April 6, 2026

Zach's DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks for the Masters Tournament (2026). His PGA DFS targets and value plays for daily fantasy golf lineups.

Welcome, everyone, to my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks and advice for the 2026 Masters Tournament. I'll be providing DFS picks and analysis to help you set those winning DraftKings lineups.

It's Masters week! The PGA TOUR season has already delivered plenty of drama, excitement, and fantasy goodness in what has been an outstanding season, and now all eyes turn to Augusta National Golf Club for this year's first major. The biggest stars in the sport will all be looking to earn that green jacket and a place in history this week. As you put together your fantasy team for this week, the top characteristics to search for this week are strong tee to green form, a proven track record at Augusta and other majors, and the ability to capitalize on par 5 scoring opportunities.

The RotoBaller team has you covered with details on the course, the field, the history of the event, and much more throughout the week, so be sure to check out all the coverage available at the PGA hub on RotoBaller. In this post, I'll break down six of my top DFS fantasy golf plays coming into the week.

Big Dogs -- Two Top-Tier Picks

Ludvig Aberg ($9.8K)

After starring as an amateur and in college at Texas Tech, Aberg has established himself as one of the top young players on the PGA TOUR. He has a pair of PGA TOUR wins and seemed well on his way to a win at THE PLAYERS Championship before struggling on the back nine and getting passed by Cameron Young.

Aberg has played very well at the Masters, finishing runner-up in 2024 in his Tournament and major championship debut. Last year, he was tied for the lead with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose late in the final round but slid to seventh place. Back-to-back top-10 finishes in his only two career appearances at Augusta show he has the potential to win if he can avoid the slip-ups that have cost him even more success when chasing big titles.

Earlier this season, Aberg had to withdraw from The American Express and then missed the cut at the Farmers; however, he has been locked in over his last four events with a T20 at The Genesis Invitational, a T3 at Bay Hill, the disappointing T5 at TPC Sawgrass, and another T5 last week in San Antonio.

Over the last 20 rounds, he ranks fifth in the field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and sixth in Total Strokes Gained. His distance and excellent iron play make the 26-year-old a great fit for the demands of this course, and another high finish is a strong possibility this week.

He hasn't been able to close one out yet, but he's shown the potential to perform at this venue and comes in with enough form to be a great place to start your lineup without having to pay all the way to the top of the salary structure. With the right value plays, you can even partner him with a big-name star.

306-yard 3-wood to 8 feet ... lands like an iron.

Ludvig is on a different planet.

Hideki Matsuyama ($8.9K)

Matsuyama is another elite ballstriker with a strong history at Augusta National, and he comes in with strong form as well. The 2021 Masters champion has made the cut in 13 of his 14 appearances at this event, with an impressive nine top-25 finishes. He has five top-25 finishes in the last six years and has proven he can regularly rise on the leaderboard in almost any conditions.

In his last two events, he finished T27 at THE PLAYERS Championship and T21 at the Valero Texas Open. He had a few down tournaments after starting the year strongly, but he has rediscovered his form. He finished runner-up at the WM Phoenix Open early in the year and posted another top-10 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Over the last three months, Matsuyama ranks in the top 20 in this elite field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, Total Strokes Gained, and Strokes Gained: Approach. His tee-to-green game meets the demands of Augusta, and if his putter cooperates, he could be in contention for another green jacket.

Matsuyama is an excellent option for both GPP and cash game lineups since he brings a high ceiling with the upside to contend and also offers a high floor with consistent results. He may not be quite as flashy as some of the players around his salary, but he's exactly the kind of pick that can help win your fantasy week.

Underdogs -- Two Mid-Range Picks

Russell Henley ($7.9K)

Henley starred at the University of Georgia, and the five-time PGA TOUR winner has typically played well at Augusta National. Like Aberg and Matsuyama, he has a very strong approach game when at his best, and his iron play sets him up for consistent success.

Last year, he missed the cut at the Masters after making the cut in seven straight appearances. His best finish during that run was a T4 in 2023, which was the best of his four top-25 finishes at this event in his career. After also missing the cut at the PGA Championship, Henley posted top-10 finishes at the U.S. Open and The Open Championship to close out the 2025 majors.

This season, Henley has been solid overall, but he has also had a few down weeks. He missed the cut at The Genesis Invitational in February and at the Valero Texas Open last week. However, he has finished in the top 20 each of the five times he made it to the weekend. He finished T6 at Bay Hill in his title defense and T13 at THE PLAYERS Championship before last week's missed cut.

Henley ranks fifth in the field in Driving Accuracy over the last three months and in the top 20 in Total Strokes Gained.

The Georgia native has proven he can contend at this course, and his high finishes this season make him an attractive mid-range play just under $8,000. This area is stacked with strong options, and Henley could have low ownership as a result.

Akshay Bhatia ($7.8K)

Bhatia doesn't have nearly as long a resume at Augusta as Henley and Hideki, but he has had success, making the cut in both of his appearances and finishing T35 and T42.

After a slow start to the season, Bhatia has been in great form with five straight top-20 finishes, including a T3 at the WM Phoenix Open, a playoff win at the Arnold Palmer, and a T13 at THE PLAYERS.

Bhatia ranks third in this elite field in Strokes Gained: Approach over the last 20 rounds, fourth in Total Strokes Gained, and ninth in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green. He's still looking for his first top-25 at Augusta, but he's shown over the last few weeks that at his best, he can contend in any elite field.

Lefties like Bhatia have had a lot of success at Augusta National over the years. Since 2003, left-handed players have won the Masters six times, with Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson winning multiple times during that stretch and Mike Weir claiming the win in 2003 to start that run. The shot-shaping is slightly favorable for lefties, so Bhatia definitely has the potential to claim a green jacket at some point in his career. He's still only 24 despite his track record of success over the last few seasons.

He can be a little streaky at times, but his new putting technique seems to have helped turn his flatstick around this season. He has enough history in the course to bring boom-or-bust upside and the form to deliver a high finish if he keeps it going this week.

Junkyard Dogs -- Top Value Picks

Adam Scott ($7.2K)

Scott made his Masters debut in 2002, just a few months after Bhatia was born, so we're definitely switching ends of the experience spectrum for this pick. The 45-year-old has always played well at Augusta, though, and he comes with some solid form over the past few months.

Scott won the Masters in 2013 in a playoff over Angel Cabrera for his only major championship, but he has an impressive total of 33 professional wins in his career worldwide, including 14 on the PGA TOUR. At Augusta, he has made the cut in 21 of his 24 career appearances, with five top-10 finishes. He missed the cut last year but finished T22 in 2024.

Over the last 20 rounds, Scott ranks second in the field in Strokes Gained: Approach behind only Collin Morikawa. He also ranks in the top 15 in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and Driving Distance during that span.

Two weeks ago, he finished T21 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he opened with a 67-66-68 before fading with a 71 on Sunday. His final round did feature this tremendous shot, though:

Hole-in-one for Adam Scott on the 11th at Memorial Park!

He has made the cut in each of his seven events this season, with four top-25 finishes highlighted by a solo fourth-place finish at The Genesis Invitational. Scott has a great history at The Riviera Country Club, where he notched that fourth-place finish, and he could turn back the clock with a similar showing this week if his form holds at Augusta.

Casey Jarvis ($6.6K) 

I'm going with a high-risk value pick with upside to round out my DFS picks for the Masters. Jarvis will be making his debut at Augusta National and playing in just his third PGA TOUR event. However, the 22-year-old South African has been lighting up the DP World Tour and could be one of the week's breakthrough performers.

Jarvis began his strong run of form with a pair of wins on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa in November and finished third in Mauritius in December on the DP World Tour. He locked in and won both the Kenya Open and South African Open in back-to-back weeks at the end of February to earn his Masters invite with his first two DP World Tour victories. He finished T2 and T13 in his two events since then, and he actually leads the field in Strokes Gained: Putting and ranks 15th in Total Strokes Gained over the last 20 rounds.

Since he will be making his Masters debut and is still so early in his career, he's a high-risk play, but he brings more upside than many of the players in this price range, who have not been in nearly as good form as Jarvis. South Africans have a great track record at Augusta, and Jarvis could be next in line after his impressive start to 2026.

Jarvis will be a nice way to differentiate your lineup this week, and he brings good upside as a bargain play.

22 year old South African Casey Jarvis shoots rounds of 67, 68, 64 and 67 to win the Investec South African Open and qualify for the Masters and The Open Championship. He claimed his maiden DP World Tour win last week and now he’s heading to Augusta. Awesome 🇿🇦 pic.twitter.com/Zk2An2UvWq
