FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational

We get the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week, an event loaded with superstars. This essentially equates to the perfect opportunity to play a little more aggressively with pivots and less popular plays.

In this article, we'll discuss some of the standout PGA DFS plays available on FanDuel. While it's impossible to hit on every player, we'll touch on some different plays across all price ranges, breaking the groups down into "High," "Mid," and "Low" price options that are worth considering.

Like always, the purpose of this piece is to help you put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups for FanDuel, whether that be from a GPP perspective or a cash-game mentality. Be sure to also read all of our other top-notch weekly PGA DFS and betting articles to help you win big!

FanDuel Strategy Nuances (PGA DFS)

Before we dive into the FanDuel plays for this week, we are going to be comparing the prices of golfers on the FD slate to that of the DraftKings slate in order to figure out some value for the respective golfers. We get an extra $10,000 ($60,000 salary limit in FanDuel) to spend on the same six guys, so there is an opportunity to build some really optimal lineups if we find the right guys. The average increase per player should be $1,666.67 ($10,000/6).

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, including DFS lineup picks for DraftKings/FanDuel, betting advice, DFS prop picks, and course previews.

 

High-Priced FanDuel DFS Plays

Below is the difference in salary between the two DFS platforms using the downloadable research station that is part of our affordable Premium Package. It has event history, recent form, DFS scoring upside, and a whole lot more nerdy stuff.

Max Homa ($10,800, $1,900 difference)

Homa also leads the field in putting over the last 24 rounds, which will be extremely necessary this week with heavy winds expected. All it takes is one good shot to make a par, and if it has to be a 12-foot par save, Max has been extremely comfortable over those of late. He also seems to be part of the PM/AM wave which is shaking out to be the more favorable side of the tee time draw. A year ago he was ranked 44th in the world and had finishes of T17, T10, and T24 around Bay Hill. He is now the 8th-best golfer in the world and enters the week with an array of shots and confidence this course has yet to see from him.

Patrick Cantlay ($10,700, $1,600 difference)

Patrick Cantlay is a perennial cut maker with the highest T10% in the field at 56% in his 18 starts. He now heads to a course that a lot of people are saying he does not like, which is probably why we are seeing him come in a ridiculously reduced ownership compared to the 23% we saw at Riviera a few weeks back. It is going to be windy as heck and Cantlay has an incredible short game along with impressive accuracy off the tee for a guy with his length.

Sungjae Im ($10,200, $1,200 difference)

Sungjae Im has had two rather uninspired events in back-to-back weeks which should see a small discount in his ownership. He has phenomenal course history here, finishing no worse than T21 in his last four appearances. Tough to pass up on that kind of course history.

Mid-Priced FanDuel DFS Plays

Mid-priced salary differences. Notice how much more red we see in that difference column in this range versus the high-priced range. Bear that in mind when deciding which players to play on either platform.

Jordan Spieth ($10,100, $1,500 increase)

Jordan Spieth is somebody who I believe plays really well in the wind. It's going to be windy this week, so we are playing Spieth. He has a finish of 4th here in 2021 and will come in rather under-owned after some poor performances on either side of his sixth-place finish at the Waste Management.

Keith Mitchell ($9,400, $2,000 increase)

Keith Mithcell has been playing some impressive golf lately and now heads to a course that really rewards good drivers of the ball, which he is one of the best on tour. He also has two top-10 finishes at the API in his last four starts which bodes well for a repeat performance playing the kind of golf we have seen from him recently.

Seamus Power ($9,200, $1,800 increase)

His run of consistency we mentioned is eight consecutive T25 finishes since his win at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. He placed T14 at the Genesis Invitational, surging up the leaderboard on Saturday before a snap-hook-induced triple bogey ended his chances to try and catch Rahm and Homa who were racing away from the field already. Seamus is fantastic on and around the greens, which will be crucial to success this week.

 

Low-Priced FanDuel DFS Players

The below golfers are all candidates to round out your player pool based on their track record at Pebble Beach.

Taylor Montgomery ($9,100, $1,700 increase)

After two rather uninspiring performances in his first two elevated events, Taylor Montgomery has seen his ownership and price decline. He showed that he was one of the best putters on tour and now gets a crack at some fast Bermuda surfaces which he has not seen much of on the west coast swing. Maybe his putter finds a resurgence this week and we can take advantage of that at discounted ownership and price.

Charley Hoffman ($8,000, $1,700 increase)

He has three top-15 finishes in three of his last four starts. That is enough to get us to bite at this price with that kind of course history. He also finished T14 at the WMPO two starts ago, showing a little life at a course he has had success at in the past, similar to this week.
