PGA DFS DraftKings Pivots: Sleepers and Value Picks - The Masters

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

It is Masters week! The Masters offers some unique variables that we do not see in every Major. First, this is the only major where it is played at the same course every year. Along with this fact, The Masters success relies heavily on course history. Many who are building player pools and lineups will weigh course history higher at this event than other majors.

The field this week is also smaller than an average tournament. The small field, along with course history lean, condenses ownership. The chance to have a duplicate lineup may be higher this week than others. If playing in large field GPPs, it is then important to make sure you are incorporating some strategy to be unique.

The Masters: DFS Lineup Pivots  

Pivot Off: Corey Conners ($7,600) – Corey Conners is currently projected to be one of the highest-owned golfers in the field this week. He has played The Masters three times and recorded two top 10-place finishes. Conner’s course history may not be the only reason his ownership is so high. He is in excellent current form, gaining strokes tee-to-green in three straight events. He is also priced moderately in a key salary range.

Not only does fading Conners give us some leverage, but I have some doubts about his ability to perform consistently here. While he does have three starts at this event, that sample size is still small. He is near the last in the field in almost all putting metrics and he does not have much length off-the-tee. I am willing to risk that we may see some regression at The Masters this week from Conners. While it is not something comfortable to do, the leverage it could create would be valuable.

 

Top PGA DFS Pivot Plays

Viktor Hovland ($10,100) - Viktor Hovland is currently projecting to be in the single digits ownership wise. With course history vital this week, many may look at Hovland’s history at Augusta National and be turned off. However, I see a different story. Hovland has played The Masters twice, once as an amateur and once as a professional. In 2019, he was low amateur and finished in 32nd place. Last year he finished in 21st place. He began his round 1 last year with a triple bogey on one. If, and a big if, he would have scored a par, he would have finished a tie for 10th. Hovland ranks second in proximity and approach over the last 24 rounds.

Sung-Jae Im ($8,400) – Sung- Jae Im is currently projected to be in the low single-digits ownership wise. His low number could be attributed to his recent form. Im has last strokes on approach in three straight events and his best finish since February is a 20th at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. However, Im has back class and has been one of the premier ball strikers on tour. Over the last 24 rounds he has displayed strong off-the-tee and around the green numbers. Im also has had success at Augusta National, finishing second in this event in 2020.

Tyrrell Hatton ($8,000) -Tyrrell Hatton has been in excellent form this spring. In his last three starts, he has recorded a second, 13th, and 21st. He has gained strokes on approach in three straight, highlighted by 5.4 at The Valspar. Hatton’s best finish at The Masters was an 18th place finish last year. He is coming into this year’s edition in much better form. Finally, Hatton is statistically one of the putters on tour in a number of metrics. If Hatton can continue the form that he has shown lately he could find himself in contention Sunday.

Stewart Cink ($6,400) - Stewart Cink is my favorite salary relief play. Cink recorded a tie for 12th at The Masters last year. He is coming into this year in similar form. In his last start at The Valspar he finished in seventh place. That week he gained 5.1 strokes on approach and four tee-to-green. Cink is also long off-the-tee, over the last 24 rounds he ranks 14th in driving distance.
