The best DraftKings fantasy golf picks and possible lineups for the 2017 British Open teeing off on Thursday, July 20 from Royal Birkdale.

The golfing world is turning its attention to Southport, England this week and Royal Birkdale Golf Club as it will play host to the 2017 British Open. This is the 10th time the course has hosted The Open Championship, the last time coming in 2008. Given the high-profile nature of a major, that creates a fascinating situation when it comes to making your DraftKings fantasy golf picks.

When looking at the DraftKings fantasy golf options for this week, the value is tremendous. The best players in the world are obviously going to cost, but there is value to be mined at virtually every pricing tier. At the top, there are players that should probably be priced higher than they are given their chances. Meanwhile, there are value-priced players that could really show out in DraftKings fantasy golf at the British Open.

Even more intriguing when making your DraftKings fantasy golf picks is the course at Royal Birkdale and the conditions. There are narrow fairways and some tricky approaches, all of which create a situation where accuracy and poise will be key — especially with high winds expected to come into play.
