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.

There are two ways to view this board this week. This could be more of an outright betting answer than a discussion we should have in a DFS piece, but I found an interesting viewpoint within my model when talking about the very top of this slate.

1. Xander Schauffele graded about as well as anyone has all season regarding projected win equity. I understand I have been higher on him almost every week for the past seven months, but I didn't find the 9/1 totals in the space outlandish for him to capture the title.
2. Outside of Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, and Ludvig Aberg, this board has many issues directly beneath that section. I have no issues with McIlroy's inclusion in that discussion because of his U.S. Open mishap, but if Xander or Aberg don't win, this board is wide open!

We play this game frequently, with the winner consistently ranking in my top 20 names. Sometimes, we get the call correct. Other times, we leave a Davis Thompson (ranked 4th) on the sidelines.

I could go on and on about why Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Brian Harman could just as quickly have made my outright betting card, but it is tough to have an honest discussion for DFS that wouldn't place Schauffele as the prohibitive favorite.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

It is pretty easy to see the spots where my model is higher or lower than consensus in this range. A few times a year, I might override some of what my model is saying, but the negative-valued players in my sheet will most likely be my fade candidates.

I am going to play Matthew Fitzpatrick because of his Links-style pedigree. The Englishman landed in the top six at this track in two of the past three years and graded sixth when running Long Iron + Scrambling totals. 

I thought the outright market was a little too low on him because of his recent volatility.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$8,000 Range 

There is a lot to like about Wyndham Clark and Sahith Theegala when shooting for pure upside in contests. There are very few players who possess that driving + putting combination as well as those two options.

I probably prefer Theegala over Clark because of where the early ownership is trending, but I likely will have exposure to both.

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!

My player pool right now would include every name between Tom Hoge and Erik Van Rooyen on that list above. We can discuss all those options further throughout the week (Discord is always a great place to start), but my preferred choice would be Tom Hoge. 

Hoge is checking all the boxes outside of his Weighted Total Driving, which includes a second-place rank for Weighted Proximity and a fifth-place grade for Long Iron + Scrambling. 

Sure, his driver has some problems attached to the upside potential, but there is a straightforward recipe for success if he can outrank his already respectable 29th-place Weighted Putting projection. 

$6,000 Options to Consider

I expressed all the reasons I didn't like Sam Stevens last week at the John Deere Classic. His 34th-place finish didn't warrant the $9,000+ price tag, but I thought the market overcorrected itself with his going rate this weekend at the Renaissance Club.

Stevens ranked 12th for Weighted Scoring and eighth for Expected Driving + Putting.

I decided to take a shot on him in the outright market at 200/1 because I believe this board gets weak fast, but this $6,200 price is a rebate compared to where it should be this week. Switch results at the John Deere with Davis Thompson, and you probably would have gotten these two reversing on the board.

I like Thompson, so that isn't a direct shot, but it is more of a vindication of Stevens' playability. 

$5,000 Options to Consider

Alexander Bjork has been extremely solid at the venue in the past, finishing inside the top 42 over the past four seasons.

From a statistical perspective, many of those results should be credited to his ideal fit for the Renaissance Club. Bjork graded inside the top 10 of my model when combining Expected Off The Tee + Approach + Putting, Long Iron + Scramble and a high-end mark with the putter that made him much more of a 100/1 sort of golfer than this 600/1 price that FanDuel released early on Monday. 

Favorite Play Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - Xander Schauffele
$9,000+ - Matthew Fitzpatrick
$8,000+ - Sahith Theegala
$7,000+ - Tom Hoge
$6,000+ - Sam Stevens
$5,000+ - Alexander Bjork

Fade In Each Section (Monday):

$10,000+ - Collin Morikawa
$9,000+ - Tom Kim
$8,000+ - No true fade. I will be lower on some options, but I do believe a lot of those names will naturally carry lower ownership.
$7,000+ - Billy Horschel
$6,000+ - Ownership will matter this far down the board.
$5,000+ - Same as above
