DraftKings Puerto Rico Open DFS Preview
This week’s Puerto Rico Open will take us to Coco Beach Golf Club, in the city of Rio Grande for some DraftKings Puerto Rico Open DFS action! The course plays at 7,569 yards and a par 72, but could play a bit longer this week due to the expected rain. With the WGC Match Play being played this week, we have a much weaker field than the weeks prior. Given the lack of data on many of the golfers appearing this weekend, I’ll keep it brief.
The weather will play a factor this week and should be considered. This course ranks as one of the top courses affected by wind each year, and with the anticipated precipitation, I’ll be favoring bombers over accurate golfers. In addition to driving distance, I’ll be looking at the standard; GIR, ADJ. RD. Score, course history, recent form, Vegas odds, birdie scoring, stokes gained tee to green and strokes gain on approach.
Top Plays:
Peter Uihlein – $10,100
Peter Uihlein will be a fairly chalky play this week, but given the lack of strength in the field, I would consider him in all formats. Uihlein has the distance needed to score well on this course, and that’s evident in his 14.6 course and field adjusted birdies (2nd most in the field). Uihlein has had recent success on the Euro Tour, making the cut in all seven events that he’s played in this year.

Luke List – $9,900
Luke List is one of the more obvious plays on the board and should be mega-chalk this week. After three missed cuts near the beginning of the year, List has turned it around and is trending in the right direction, with a 17th place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. List is a bomber that has a course and field adjusted driving distance of 308.9 yards. His implied odds to win, via Vegas, standout at 4.3%, which is more than the players priced around him.
Brandon Hagy – $8,300
Brandon Hagy is an elite play this week considering his distance off of the tee and course history. While only playing in this event once, back in 15′, Hagy put up a 16th place finish. Hagy can hit the ball a country mile and has the longest course and field adjusted driving distance in the field, at 318.4 yards.
Harold Varner III – $7,300
Harold Varner is grossly mispriced this week and his ownership should reflect it. Varner is a far better golfer than his price would indicate and it seems as if Vegas agrees. His implied odds to win are at 2.4%, far more than anyone in the $7,000’s. We don’t have any course history to work off of, but his combination of distance and GIR% should benefit him here.
