The Expert Roundtable article is an attempt to get you inside the minds of our PGA DFS staff for every tournament.

- Josh Bennett: SG: Approach

- Joe Nicely: Bubba Watson ($7.3k) & Cameron Smith ($6.8k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Harry Higgs ($6,300), Joohyung Kim ($6,400) - Very minimal on Kim. There is a large level of combustibility present.

Make a “bold prediction” for this week:

Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
- Joe Nicely: Matt Wolff ($10.0k) - Love his length, current form, and confidence.
- Spencer Aguiar: Rory McIlroy ($10,600) - We are going to need the winner with this being a no-cut contest, and I am going to go heavy on the player that I think presents the best win equity for the week.
- Josh Bennett: Gary Woodland (7,700) - He's typically a top ball striker and is a much higher caliber player than his price. A birdie maker as well in a no-cut event at his price is always worth a shot even in poor form.
- Tommy Bell: Joaquin Niemann ($7,500) - Solid course fit. HUGE upside. A very low price tag. What else can I ask for?
What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?
- Joe Nicely: Stars & Scrubs
- Spencer Aguiar: Stars & Scrubs
- Josh Bennett: Balanced
- Tommy Bell: Fairly balanced
Who is your pick to win the tournament?
- Joe Nicely: Matthew Wolff
- Spencer Aguiar: Rory McIlroy
- Josh Bennett: Justin Thomas
- Tommy Bell: Daniel Berger
