Golfers to Land in the Top 65 of the Field for All Categories

The winner continues to consistently come from this list.

*** I removed Long Par 71s since there wasn't a strong correlation in the category to past winners.

 

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools, and DFS advice. Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event.

 

High-Priced DraftKings DFS Players 

***There are four players priced above $10,000. Please remember that my DFS article is always a first look at the field. Opinions might shift as the week goes on, and I am more than happy to discuss anyone further on Twitter/X.

Let's see where ownership lands before locking in any definitive takes for this section.

I do lean toward Sam Burns being my fade candidate because I would rather roster Tony Finau at the most basic level of that answer for $500 more + Sahith Theegala with the projected leverage that we will get for a golfer who has yet to make the cut at this course in three tries.

I always discuss how ownership gets too skewed in GPP contests from that viewpoint.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

I backtested the last five years of this event to see if I could find any corollary trends of the eventual winner. A lot of minor answers formed while doing that. However, the one significant return in all five spots was how the eventual event winner was expected to be one of the steady climbers when comparing Projected Putting On Similar Greens versus Baseline Expectations on any generic surface when running the pre-event data.

Here are the top 11 in that area this week:

My theory is that because this is such an intense ball-striking venue that completely mitigates around the green production, the players who can 1. avoid water with their ball striking and 2. make a few extra putts than usual are the ones that find high-end success.

Remember, the top-10 finishers here only produce roughly a six percent output total around the green, with driving carrying a 4.7% uptick and approach play landing at 3.3%. A lot of the putting stuff carries more of a mixed bag, but the ones who have seen a substantial projection improvement are the ones who land with more upside.

That led me in the path of both Keegan Bradley and Keith Mitchell, two golfers that I will hopefully be higher on than the public.

 

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$8,000 Range 

Outside of Tom Hoge, I likely won't have much interest in this range.

Hoge ranked sixth in my model for Weighted Scoring and carried an additional top-10 grade for Birdie or Better Percentage + Bogey Avoidance.

 

Low-Priced DraftKings DFS Players to Consider ($7,000+)

Check out my model for everything in this section. There, you will get individual rankings on all players and be able to weigh the data to create your very own model when you make a copy. Please consider signing up for this tool that I am very proud to share with the public!

Part of my reason for wanting to avoid the $8,000 section is because of where my data pushed me in the $7,000s.

Names like Chan Kim and Rico Hoey made my outright card because of their consistent profiles across the board, which includes Kim grading first in my model for Weighted Scoring. That was not a return I expected this week when I started constructing my model.

 

$6,000 Options to Consider

 

Favorite Play Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - Tony Finau (Cash), Sahith Theegala (GPP) if ownership remains extremely low
$9,000+ - GPP - Keith Mitchell/Keegan Bradley
$8,000+ - Tom Hoge
$7,000+ - Chan Kim
$6,000+ - 

 

Fade In Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - No natural fade but lower on Burns
$9,000+ - None
$8,000+ - Most of the range
$7,000+ -
$6,000+ -
