FanDuel PGA DFS Lineup Picks: 2023 PLAYERS Championship

Keegan Bradley - PGA DFS Picks, Golf Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy Golf

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.

Scottie Scheffler ($11,800, $1,200 difference)

Scottie Scheffler doesn't possess the course history that you would want from a player priced at $11,800, but if you take a peek at his recent form, his worst performance of the year was a 12th, which is a floor that is higher than most golfer's ceilings in this star-studded field. He has gained the fourth-most fantasy points on a short-term basis and his ball striking over the last 24 rounds ranks first in the field. Very excited to see what Scottie gets up to this week.

Tony Finau ($11,000, $1,800 difference)

Tony Finau has not finished worse than 24th in his four most recent starts and has been gaining a lot of fantasy points over that period of time. His price along with a poor course history is going to drive a lot of people away from clicking his name, which is something that appeals to us in a volatile event like this. Finau has barely gained strokes putting over that stretch of top-20 finishes and if he does warm up with the flat stick, watch out!

Max Homa ($10,600, $700 difference)

Homa is fifth in the field in putting over the last 24 rounds and is the best iron player over that span. 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.  A year ago he was ranked 44th in the world and a 13th-place finish last year, that is more than enough to know he can handle what TPC Sawgrass throws at him. 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.

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.

Shane Lowry ($9,800, $1,600 increase)

A 13th and an 8th around TPC Sawgrass is a rather enticing course history for somebody at this price. He also returned back to form after a slow start on American soil to begin the season. Shane Lowry is somebody who thrives on tougher golf courses and is one of the best on tour from tee-to-green, which this course demands. Lowry has never putted all that well, which is something he may be able to get away with at a ball strikers paradise like Sawgrass.

Keegan Bradley ($9,200, 1,700)

Keegan Bradley has finishes of 5th, 29th, 16th, and 7th in his last four trips around TPC Sawgrass. In addition to that, he has finishes of 10th, 93rd, 20th, and 2nd in his last four starts heading into the PLAYERS championship. The stars seem to be aligning for Bradley as he returns to a course that he has great success at, playing rather impressive golf right now.

Chris Kirk ($8,700, $800 increase)

Chris Kirk is priced all the way down at $8,700 which is one of the smallest increases on the slate. Kirk recently won at PGA National, another watery Florida track that punishes errant shots with double bogeys. If he continues to plod along and double-down on his recent form, a potential t20 from Kirk is on the cards.

 

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.

Brendon Todd ($8,000, $1,700 increase)

Brendon Todd has a MC and 35th place finish at TPC Sawgrass. He Also played rather well at the API, finishing T39 on a course that does not suit his accuracy over distance mentality off the tee. He finished 2nd at Pebble Beach four starts ago, which is a much better fit for the short-game wizard. Todd provides value at $8,000 and will be barely owned.

Adam Svensson ($7,900, $1,300 increase)

Adam Svensson has been playing rather well heading into his first start at TPC Sawgrass. A 24th and a 9th in his last two elevated event starts should give the Canadian more than enough confidence heading to a venue that he should suit rather well, given his success on shorter courses recently.

Sam Ryder ($7,700, $1,400 increase)

Sam Ryder missed the cut at the API last week, but prior to that he had finishes of 20th, 20th, and 4th in his last three starts. He seems to feel comfortable in these tougher fields and the way he is playing right now, his poor course history here are not that big of a concern.
