Best PGA DFS Golf Lineup

Break down the Wyndham Championship DraftKings picks for the final PGA DFS regular season list as we look at the top plays, top fades and a lineup.

That Wyndham Championship and the annual trip to Sedgefield Country Club marks the conclusion of the PGA Tour’s regular season. That leaves a lot of storylines about motivation and things we want to see from these players. But we’ll have to figure out how to balance that as we delve into our DraftKings picks for the PGA DFS roster.

Last week we had some tough breaks with Mark Hubbard, Davis Riley and Kevin Kisner all performing poorly beyond expectations. However, we live and learn and are now moving to the Wyndham to try again to monetize our lineup.

As always, we run through our best plays and fades for each prize tier before we set about building a winning PGA DFS lineup for the Wyndham Championship.

DraftKings Picks for the Rocket Mortgage Classic PGA DFS Lineups: Top Plays

$10,000: Shane Lowry ($10,600) – The more popular piece is likely to be Webb Simpson, and I can’t deny that’s enticing given his price history. However, I’m more into Lowry in this area. He’s played too well this season not to have a win and even if that’s not the case this week, his combination of historically great play on short courses, great approach play and great touch around the green leads me to believe that he doing this will be in competition at Wyndham. Also consider: Webb Simpson ($10,700), Sungjae Im ($10,500)

$9,000: Russell Henley ($9,800) – Looking at the chart, there’s a good chance I’ll make a rare decision this week and skip the $9,000 range. There are some interesting options, but none that I’m going to be overjoyed about. For me, Henley is the best of the bunch. He finally got back to his early season form last week when he finished T10 at Rocket Mortgage, and he’s also recorded top-10 finishes at Sedgefield in each of the last two years. Also consider: Corey Conners ($9,600), Adam Scott ($9,200)

$8,000: Joohyung Kim ($8,600) – This is an extremely rich range that I’ll try to aim for as much as possible, but I’ll have to hold on to my guns. Tom Kim (he has said he prefers Tom Joohyung or JH) was on a heater at 20 trying to get his PGA Tour card suspended. Last week he was T7, giving him two top 7 finishes in his last four starts and five straight cuts. He’s trending strongly, but his game fits here perfectly as an extremely accurate drive, great iron player and hot putter. I got it to win straight away so at this price point it’s an easy addition. Also consider: Denny McCarthy ($8,900), Si Woo Kim ($8,800), Christiaan Bezuidenhout ($8,400), JT Poston ($8,200), Davis Riley ($8,000)

$7,000: Mark Hubbard ($7,900) – Being all over Mark Hubbard last week was far from beneficial for me last week as a 74 in the second round caused him to miss the cut. What I missed when I saw his recent form of three straight T13s or better was that Detroit wasn’t a good fit for him. However, it is not a sedge field. His precise driving, combined with top-notch approach play lately and a good putter and short game, should see him rebound with a strong ending to the regular season. Also consider: Scott Stallings ($7,800), Adam Long ($7,700), Brendon Todd ($7,500), Callum Tarren ($7,300), Greyson Sigg ($7,100)

$6,000: Hayden Buckley ($6,900) – With Buckley you get a lot of value at this price point, a player who is decently long but also extremely accurate off the tee and hit his irons well. His results have reflected this with six straight cuts and finishing of T24 and T26 in the last two weeks. I think he’s well on trend to make the FedExCup playoffs and end with another strong result at the Wyndham Championship. Also consider: Brandon Wu ($6,900), Justin Lower ($6,700), Ben Griffin ($6,500),

DraftKings Picks for Wyndham Championship PGA DFS Lineups: Top Fades

$10,000: Billy Hörschel ($10,300) – Horschel is another player whose record at Sedgefield is becoming increasingly impressive as his last three appearances have resulted in T2, T6 and T11. That’s hard to ignore, but so is the fact that he hasn’t played particularly well in his four starts since winning the Memorial. It sucks, but I think the upside is more limited with Billy Ho than with any other player in the $10,000 space.

$9,000: Tyrrell Hatton ($9,400) – Despite two top 25 finishes in Scotland last month, Hatton is someone who isn’t getting any investment from me this week except to miss the cut. The Englishman has been very inaccurate with the driver this year, which automatically limits his chances of success at this tournament. Then when you throw in a putter that’s cooled and the rest of his game is good but far from elite, I don’t see him paying that price at the Wyndham.

$8,000: Taylor Pendrith ($8,500) – Pendrith was in the last group on Sunday last week and ended up with a T2 finish, taking him to three consecutive top-15 finishes since returning from injury. So why am I fading him? Because the Canadian suits Sedgefield terribly. He hits his drives a quarter mile, but his accuracy is well below the tour average. We also saw his approach and short games dry up a bit on Sunday at Rocket Mortgage. Part of that may be nerve, but it’s worrisome on a course that already suits his game badly.

$7,000: Cameron Champ ($7,500) – Some of the numbers will tell you that Cameron Champ is much more accurate and better on short courses when he can hit down. I respect that, but I don’t buy it completely either. He’s lost back-to-back top 20 finishes over the past two weeks, but those were more bomber tracks that suited him. This isn’t so much that and I think we’re seeing more of the fights he’s put in before the last two tournaments.

Wyndham Championship: Best DraftKings Golf Lineup

• Shane Lowry ($10,600)
• Joohyung Kim ($8,600)
• Brian Harman ($8,300)
• Mark Hubbard ($7,900)
• Adam Long ($7,700)
• Hayden Buckley ($6,900)

Lowry, Kim, Hubbard, and Buckley have all been discussed as my top games, so I won’t go into any of those points. But I also love the rest of the lineup.

For a player who has been making top 30 and top 20 finishes every time recently, going long at this price is literally literal. In addition, with a precise drive and his approach game, he fits well on the pitch and sets trends in a positive direction.

As for Harman, he fits the bill too, quietly having a T8 in the Travelers and a T6 in The Open as two of his last three starts. Add to that he also finished T6 at Sedgefield in 2019 and I love the value he offers in a place where he should be able to play his game at a high level.
