- Josh Bennett: Morikiawa misses his first cut
- Tommy Bell: DJ, Bryson, & JT all finish top-7 with one of the winning.
Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
Joe Nicely: Joaquin Niemann - Love his form and the fact that he finished T5 here last year. At $7.9k, he brings legit tournament-winning upside to the table.
Spencer Aguiar: Sungjae Im - Reduction in price because of his missed cut at Harbour Town. Should carry both cash-game/GPP upside.
Josh Bennett: Bryson DeChambeau - His length will eliminate a lot of trouble on this golf course. With the amount of strokes he'll gain due to his length, he probably won't need his "A" game to win this week.
Tommy Bell: Dustin Johnson. 20 birdies and an eagle last week while losing strokes putting. Going to preferred putting surface. Sign me up!
What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?
Joe Nicely: Gonna try to get at least one "stud" in most lineups this week, with Bryson & JT being at the top of that list.
Spencer Aguiar: I have a difficult time not starting with one of Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau or Justin Thomas.
Josh Bennett: Stars & Scrubs
Tommy Bell: Stars & Scrubs
Who is your pick to win the tournament?
- Joe Nicely: Bryson DeChambeau

- Josh Bennett: Bryson DeChambeau
- Tommy Bell: Dustin Johnson
