Quail Hollow

7,554 Yards - Par 71 - Greens Bermuda

With its initial design dating back to 1961 by the renowned George W. Cobb, Quail Hollow has a rich history of challenge and prestige when diving into a venue that hosted the 2017 PGA Championship and 2022 Presidents Cup. Over the past 25 years, it has undergone three significant re-designs, each one adding a unique element to the course. Notably, a makeover was implemented before the 2017 PGA Championship, which increased the facility's distance and further transformed the course into one of the most challenging tests players face on tour each season. 

Tree-lined parklands and undulating fairways forge a systematic approach that reduces driving accuracy by nearly eight yards, although don't let the numbers fool you when it comes to the correct procedure for tackling this behemoth of a layout. Distance and long iron play are going to be the name of the game when you look at the 7,554-yard course that increases yardage off the tee by just over 17 yards. That is one of the reasons the property features a 13.4% enhancement in projected approach shots from beyond 175 yards.

You would expect that answer alone to cause the difficulty I keep touching on when producing chances to score. However, it only becomes further heightened when we look into the lightning-quick Bermuda greens that add their own sinister nature to the proceedings since they produce nearly a 25% increase for three-putt totals over a standard stop on tour. Golfers will find themselves in this constant battle of trying to attack a driver-heavy course while also being able to assail the lands from a distance on their second shots. It is why 10 holes this week will feature somewhere between a 20 to 35% percent bogey or worse rate. 

 

Let's Look at the Stats

Stat	Quail Hollow	PGA Average
Driving Distance	300	283
Driving Accuracy	54%	62%
GIR Percentage	61%	65%
Scrambling Percentage	54%	57%
Average Three-Putts Per Round	0.68	0.55

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.

***Ludvig Aberg has withdrawn

It is hard to look at the top of this board and not see sound pricing in every spot. We could debate exactly where each golfer should have been slotted compared to those around them, but my model believed these were the four three favorites. Decisions will come down to popularity to break close ties, although I preferred taking a stand with Wyndham Clark early on Monday afternoon. 

My Wyndham senses are tingling again after the American graded first in my model at long courses and inside the top 10 for weighted putting, expected strokes gained total and projected scoring.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

The removal of Ludvig Aberg from the field does marginally alter my view since it makes Max Homa (and maybe even Viktor Hovland) more intriguing routes to consider in the $9,000s, even if I still prefer doubling-up in the $10,o00+ range.

While ownership projections will influence the final decisions, one consistent factor in my strategy has been my bold approach to backing Sahith Theegala, a stance of mine that will exceed the market's consensus when all is said and done. 

Theegala's expectation this week has seen a remarkable upswing, particularly when comparing his weighted proximity totals to his baseline for this track. This improvement significantly boosts his potential, especially considering his exceptional putting skills and impressive returns that will align well with the data from past Quail Hollow events.

 

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$8,000 Range 

The profile lacked the pure upside we got from Sahith Theegala, which pushed me in that direction for outright betting purposes. Still, it is an excellent spot for Matthew Fitzpatrick to be considered for what should be condensed ownership compared to the rest of the names in this part of the field. 

Fitzpatrick has the par-five scoring and increased projection for long iron play to pay off this price tag. 

 

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!

There are a handful of dark blue profiles in this range. If you are shooting for pure upside, I am fine with considering names like Akshay Bhatia, although I am going to go a safer route for this article and highlight Adam Scott. 

Scott's expected driving and strokes gained total return landed in the top 10 of this field. You can get the entire outlook inside my model for why my math thought he was a top-15 player on this board. 

 

$6,000 Options to Consider

Matthieu Pavon is the best value I have on the board for both DFS and betting odds.

 

Favorite Play Each Section:

$10,000+ - Wyndham Clark
$9,000+ - Sahith Theegala
$8,000+ - Matthew Fitzpatrick
$7,000+ - Adam Scott
$6,000+ - Matthieu Pavon
