Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)
High-Priced DFS Players
There are five players this week priced above $10,000;
Brooks Koepka ($11,800) - I would avoid him here. His price is huge and this is not a major. Even though he's my number-one ranked player, I don't think he's going to bring his full attention. At the Canadian Open, he finished T-50. Was T-19 here last year.
Patrick Cantlay ($11,300) - Off a very disappointing U.S. Open where many picked him to win. He ended up finishing T-21. Number-two ranked player. He usually plays well at events like these. Will look to do better than a T-15 last year.
Jordan Spieth ($10,700) - I thought he was over his putting woes, but that was not the case at Pebble. Until he gets his mind right, I'd avoid him. He did win here in 2017, finished T-42 last year.
Francesco Molinari ($10,300) - I don't have a real feel for him at a tournament like this. He placed T-25 in 2015, T-47 in '16.
Jason Day ($10,000) - Off a disappointing T-21 at the U.S. Open. He should be competing at a much-higher level but for whatever reason, he's not. Was cut here in 2017, T-12 last year.
Middle-to-low-priced DFS Players
Paul Casey ($9,500) - Casey is a player who players well at the lesser tournaments, but in the majors, he can't put four rounds together. For example, at the U.S. Open last week he finished T-21. The PGA saw him place T-29. Solid performances, just not good enough for a player of Casey's caliber. This is the perfect tournament for Casey. He has the most strokes gained here the last five years. His last four finishes here; second, T-17, T-5, and T-2 last year.
Bubba Watson ($8,900) - Forget that Watson's last three tournaments have been bad (cut at PGA, T-63 Canadian Open, and cut last week at U.S. Open. But when he likes a course, he plays well. This is a course he loves. Three-time champion and second in strokes gained the last five years.
Daniel Berger ($8,000) - Another horse for the course type. T-5 in 2016, second in '17, but a T-67 last year. Made his last seven cuts.
Viktor Hovland ($7,900) - Love this youngster. Was the low amateur at the U.S. Open finishing a remarkable T-12. This is his first tournament turning pro. Gotta have a piece of him this week.
Brian Harman ($7,400) - Made his last three cuts. Finished third here in 2015 and T-6 last year. I love his tenacity and fearlessness.
Brendan Steele ($6,700) - Last time he competed was the Memorial where he finished T-41. He's third in strokes gained here the lat five years.
