DraftKings PGA DFS Lineup Picks - the Memorial Tournament (2026)

June 2, 2026

Zach's DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks for the Memorial 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 edition of the Memorial Tournament. I'll be providing DFS picks and analysis to help you set those winning DraftKings lineups.

After back-to-back weeks in Dallas, the PGA TOUR is headed to Ohio for the second-to-last Signature Event of the season. The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Jack Nicklaus' influence is everywhere this week since he designed and developed this course, which opened in 1974 and began hosting the PGA TOUR in 1976. While it isn't a major, the course typically plays as one of the most difficult stops on the PGA TOUR each year, testing players throughout the bag and requiring length off the tee, accuracy on approach, touch around the greens, and excellent Bentgrass putting. The tough test at "Jack's Place" usually causes the best overall players to excel, resulting in a great roster of champions, including Scottie Scheffler winning each of the last two years. He's back to claim a third straight win at Murifield Village Golf Club, but should he be on your DFS fantasy golf roster?

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: Top-Tier PGA DFS Lineup Picks

Scottie Scheffler ($13.5K)

Scheffler is an extremely expensive play this week, and since he hasn't won since the end of January, he isn't necessarily locked in as the only top option to consider. However, with his form and course history, he brings enough win equity that he's worth spending up for if you can find other places to save salary.

For example, Rory McIlroy ($11,500) has a decent course history here with top-20 finishes in his last four appearances. However, that track record pales in comparison to Scottie's, which features wins in each of the last two years and solo-third-place finishes in 2021 and 2023.

Even though Scheffler hasn't been winning like he was in 2025, his game is still in very good form. He has posted four top-three finishes in his last five events, with runner-up finishes at the Masters, the RBC Heritage, and the Cadillac Championship.

He leads the field in Total Strokes Gained and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green over the last six months, and he ranks in the top 10 in Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: Putting over that span as well. Over the last 20 rounds, he leads the field in Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.

Even without his typical trophy haul, Scheffler returns to Muirfield Village Golf Club in great form. All his near misses have been solid fantasy weeks, and there's definitely a possibility he breaks through this week and runs away with a landslide win. If he does win, it wouldn't be the first time the event has had a three-time champion. Tiger Woods won three straight Memorial Tournaments from 1999 to 2001, winning in 2001 by seven strokes.

His game is a great fit for this course, as he has proven, and he seems very due for a victory after so many close calls this season.

Ben Griffin ($9K)

Griffin finished runner-up behind Scheffler at Muirfield Village Country Club last year, and last week, he finished T3 in his title defense at the Charles Schwab Challenge. His putt on the final hole lipped out, costing him a shot in the playoff alongside winner Russell Henley ($9,300) and runner-up Eric Cole ($6,700).

Even with the heartbreaking end to his run at Colonial, Griffin posted his fourth top-15 finish in his last five events, matching his third-place finish from the Cadillac Championship for his best finish of the season.

His four rounds last week were 68-68-68-65, showing very good consistency from round to round. He ended last week seventh in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green, ninth in scrambling, and ranked in the top 20 in Strokes Gained both off the tee and on the green. His driving accuracy was still a little off, but the rest of his game seems to be back in form after he won three times on the PGA TOUR in 2025.

The converging trends of his recent form and a course where he looked very strong last year set him up well for a good finish. He has been a little boom-or-bust this season, but last week's great form makes him worth a look as he continues to find his form.

It’s always fun to hit an outright, especially when it’s over 100/1 and with a player that has a story like Gary Woodland!

Underdogs: Mid-Range PGA DFS Lineup Picks

Maverick McNealy ($8.3K)

McNealy has taken two weeks off since the PGA Championship, but he'll be back in action this week at Muirfield Village, where his strong all-around game should fit well. He showed that fit with a T5 last year at this event after missing the cut in his first two career appearances. 

While he hasn't won in his 23 events since that T5 last year, he has consistently turned in excellent results with 15 top-25 finishes and three top-10 finishes in his last 24 events.

He was in the mix at Aronimink Golf Club for the PGA Championship before fading in the Final Round and finishing T18. He finished a matching T18 at the Masters earlier this year, and he has proven he can post strong finishes on tough courses in excellent fields.

Over the last six months, he ranks 15th in the field in Total Strokes Gained, 14th in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green, and 10th in Strokes Gained: Putting. His approach game was in good form at Aronimink, after he had been dealing with some shaky iron play earlier in the season.

He hasn't finished in the top 10 since the Farmers Insurance Open at the end of January, but he has consistently been solid enough to be a good option at this salary range on a course where he has had success.

Jordan Spieth ($7.9K)

Could this be where Spieth finally gets back in the top 10 or maybe even in the winner's circle? The 32-year-old has had a solid season and has a good course history at Muirfield Village, but he hasn't won on the PGA TOUR since 2022, when he claimed his 13th career victory.

Spieth has eight top-25 finishes in his 14 events this season and has made the cut in 12 straight tournaments. He finished in the top 20 at the Masters, the Cadillac Championship, the PGA Championship, and THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, all in his last six starts.

Over the last three months, he ranks in the top 25 in Total Strokes Gained and in the top 20 in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green. He has gained strokes off the tee in seven of his last eight tournaments and on approach in eight of his last 11 tournaments.

Spieth has an excellent history at this venue, even though he has never quite been able to get a win at Muirfield Village Golf Club. He finished T7 last year at the Memorial and T5 in 2023. He has four career top-10 finishes, nine career top-20 finishes, and has made the cut in 11 of his 14 career appearances at Jack's place, dating back to 2013.

He's always an adventure to roster for DFS fantasy golf, but when he's at his best, he brings a very high ceiling and could be a huge value from the midrange salary tier this week.

Jordan Spieth *always* has a window.

Junkyard Dogs: Top PGA DFS Value Picks

Gary Woodland ($7.2K)

Woodland is another player with a great history at Muirfield Village Golf Club, but an affordable salary this week. He earned his huge comeback win at the Texas Children's Houston Open at the end of March, and he has also continued to play well since then.

UNREAL FROM GARY WOODLAND 🔥🤯

Woodland made the cut and finished T33 at the Masters, but missed the cut at the PGA Championship. He finished T8 at the RBC Heritage and T17 at the Truist Championship in two other Signature Events before finishing T6 last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

His flat stick was rolling very well in Fort Worth, where he ranked third in the field in both Strokes Gained: Putting and total birdies made. He actually lost strokes around the green and on approach, but his driver and putter carried him to a top 10.

He'll need to be a little better on approach this week, but if he is, he has the skills to contend. He hasn't qualified for the Signature Event in the last two years but finished T24 in 2023. Earlier in his career, he had seven top-25 finishes at Muirfield Village, highlighted by three top-10 finishes. He finished T4 in 2016, his best finish at the course, and his revitalized game gives him a chance to shine again this week in his return to the event.

Alex Fitzpatrick ($6.7K) 

While last week's runner-up Eric Cole ($6.7K) is sure to be a popular play at this price, I like Fitzpatrick as a much better course fit, even though he'll be making his tournament debut this week.

Fitzpatrick earned his full-time PGA TOUR card by winning the Zurich Classic alongside his brother Matt Fitzpatrick ($9.6K). He jumped right into the two Signature Events after the Zurich, posting a T9 at the Cadillac Championship and a T4 at the Truist Championship, where he had the 54-hole lead before a few wayward shots on Sunday dropped him to a solo-fourth.

He made the cut but finished back in the pack at T73 in the PGA Championship, and then took a much-deserved two weeks off. Fitzpatrick had been playing a busy DP World Tour schedule before moving to the PGA TOUR, getting a win at the Hero Indian Open and posting five top-25 finishes in his previous six events to start 2026.

Throughout that run of success, his driver was his key weapon, and his accuracy and power of the tee and precision on approach were evident at both the Cadillac and the Truist.

He should have the style of all-around game needed at Muirfield Village and the strength to take on the length the course requires as well. He has flashed a very high ceiling and could be a solid pivot play under $7K to help you have the salary to pay up for Scottie or other high-salary stars.
