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.

We will see where ownership lands, but my early inclination is to start most builds in the $9,000 range.

That doesn't suggest that the entire section is going to be treated as fade candidates, but the more significant takeaway I want everyone to hear from that is: "If we see similar ownership with this range compared to the few high-end players I like in the $9,000s, I would rather take the discount in price."

Otherwise, McIlroy and Schauffele intrigue me most to be played equal to consensus, with Dechambeau landing as the one true fade early in the week. I also have no issues playing a low-owned Rahm.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

It is funny because some of your best and worst values will land with the LIV golfers. 

I am out on Brooks Koepka. However, Tyrrell Hatton has that ideal profile that I am trying to find every week of a golfer with a ceiling outcome that outweighs his baseline. That is one of the ways I always locate win equity inside of my sheet. I may not always come up with the right decision when it is staring me in the face in the outright market (Robert MacIntyre in Scotland), but Hatton's upside is tantalizing when we look at his top 10 grades for Comp Course Production, Expected Strokes Gained Total and Weighted Scrambling. That is why MacIntyre became my favorite DFS value on Wednesday, which will likely go in the same direction here for Hatton. 

You can see from my outright card that I also found myself on Morikawa + Fleetwood. The strength of the trio in this section was one of the reasons I decided to find myself overweight to this range.

I have been on record numerous times that the lack of perceived win equity for options like Fleetwood, Hatton, etc., overly hurt their public perception, but you don't have to look any further than the sharper markets already reacting favorably to each choice. 

 

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$8,000 Range 

I have no issues with anyone who wants to take a chance with Tom Kim. I think he fits all the ball-striking narratives of Troon quite ideally. However, my favorite play is going to be the now-overlooked Cameron Smith.

Some were giving way too much hype to Smith at the U.S. Open, and now the answer is that nobody wants to take a shot on a golfer who graded inside the top 10 of my sheet for overall rank has moved too far in the other direction.

Smith's top-10 ranks for Open Championship Pedigree, Comp Course Expectation and Scrambling From Troubled Lies made him one of my favorite outright bets on the board at 50/1.

As I said at the beginning, these LIV golfers are the best and worst options on this board.

 

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!

Alex Noren is going to be more boom-0r-bust than Aaron Rai, but there are notable reasons to consider either option for different iterations of the market. 

I decided to roll with Noren for the upside markets because of that high ceiling output at a higher price, but Rai will likely land somewhere between an overweight DFS commodity and a potential placement wager to consider. 

 

$6,000 Options to Consider

This is the epitome of soft pricing in a major.

We could have an extensive discussion about how multiple of these options could be $1,000+ more expensive, but I will go with the model having Louis Oosthuzien and Sungjae Im as the two best pure values.

$5,000 Options to Consider

Mackenzie Hughes was the only golfer to grade inside the top-50 of my overall model from this section.

We have joked this year that my model has been accurate on him with whatever direction it takes, so I wouldn't mind seeing if there is a way to get exposure to him in some capacity

 

Favorite Play Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - I prefer the $9,000 range
$9,000+ - Collin Morikawa/Tyrrell Hatton/Tommy Fleetwood
$8,000+ - Cameron Smith
$7,000+ - Aaron Rai/Alex Noren
$6,000+ - Sungjae Im/Louis Oosthuizen
$5,000+ - Mackenzie Hughes

 

Fade In Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - Bryson DeChambeau
$9,000+ - Brooks Koepka
$8,000+ - No massive take
$7,000+ - Worst values in this range were:


$6,000+ - Tiger Woods
$5,000+ - Too many names to list
