PGA DFS DraftKings Pivots: Sleepers and Value Picks - RBC Heritage

April 13, 2022

Rob Giltner breaks down some DraftKings DFS pivots, value plays, and sleepers for the 2022 The RBC Heritage. Daily fantasy golf advice on under-owned golfers and who to avoid for your lineups.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my PGA DFS Pivots for DraftKings! This week, the PGA event is The RBC Heritage.

Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler for winning The Masters last week. Our attention now moves to The RBC Heritage.  Harbour Town Golf Links is the venue for this event and a favorite among many golfers. Players will find tight tree-lined fairways and small greens this week. Accuracy off-the-tee and on approach will be vital for success.

The field for this year's edition of The RBC Heritage is very strong. 18 of the highest-priced golfers in the field all played last week at Augusta. Hilton Head sits along the Atlantic Ocean, and with many coastal courses, wind could be a factor. At the time of writing this article, there does not appear to be a strong weather advantage.

RBC Heritage: DFS Lineup Pivots  

Pivot Off:  Corey Conners ($9,700)- Fades are never very comfortable and this week is not any different. Conners is coming off another strong performance at The Masters. He also finished in fourth place at this event last year. These factors are likely contributing to making him one of the highest-owned golfers in the field. With so many talented golfers around him, it could be advantageous to pivot to off Conners. Conners has played 14 competitive rounds at Harbour Town. Within those rounds, he ranks 102^nd in the field in strokes gained putting and 85^th in strokes gained short game. While he is an excellent ball-striker, his statistics on and around the green are concerning. While not comfortable, Conners could be a fade this week if his ownership projections remain high.

Top RBC Heritage DFS Pivot Plays

Daniel Berger ($9,600)- Daniel Berger is currently projected to be under 15% owned. Berger has good course history at Harbour Town. Within the field, he ranks 18^th in strokes gained tee-to-green, 21^st in strokes gained off-the-tee, and 16^th in strokes gained total at Harbour Town. It makes sense as to why Berger has had success here. He is excellent around the greens and ball striking. He ranks 12^th in the field in strokes gained approach over the last 24 rounds. At substantial less ownership than those priced around him, Berger makes for a great pivot.

Matthew Fitzpatrick ($9500) - Matthew Fitzpatrick will also be a popular play this week. His love for Habour Town is well documented. He has said that this is his favorite course and his family used to come here for vacations. Fitzpatrick is a great course fit for Harbour Town, as evident by his great course history. Fitzpatrick ranks 10^th in the field in strokes gained total, ninth off-the-tee, fifth in putting, and fifth in Draftkings points at Harbour Town. He also arrives in Hilton Head in excellent form. He has gained strokes on approach in six straight events. Fitzpatrick is a must-play. Fitzpatrick is one of my favorite plays on the slate.

Alexander Noren ($8,300) - Alexander Noren has recorded three straight top 30-place finishes at Harbour Town. However, he has played better than his results. Noren ranks eighth in Drafkings points and 14^th in strokes gained total at Harbour Town. He also comes to Hilton Head in great form. He has gained strokes tee-to-green in six straight events. Over the last 24 rounds, Noren ranks 11^th in the field on approach. At low ownership, Noren could be a key play this week.

Sebastian Munoz ($7,300) - Sebastian Munoz best finish at Harbour Town was a 28^th-place finish in 2020. That week he gained strokes in all key metrics. Munoz has been playing well lately. He has gained strokes tee-to-green in five straight events. Over the last 24 rounds, Munoz ranks fifth in strokes gained ball striking, second in proximity, and 19^th around the green. Those statistics are a good recipe for success at Harbour Town. At single digits ownership and a reasonable salary, Munoz makes for a great GPP play.
