Taking a look at the best DraftKings fantasy golf picks for THE PLAYERS Championship 2018, teeing off on Thursday, May 10.

THE PLAYERS Championship is pretty widely considered to be the unofficial fifth major championship on the PGA Tour. Yes, the winner won’t be closer to completing the grand slam — but they will get paid like they did, which is really what it comes down to. And there’s no reason that you can’t also try to make a little coin with your DraftKings fantasy golf picks.

Making your DraftKings fantasy golf picks for a tournament like THE PLAYERS is always an interesting venture. After all, with the payday that’s on the line and the prestige of the tournament, the field is always loaded. That is again the case for the 2018 tournament, and that means making the right selections for your lineup can be critical.

It’s also worth noting that this is the last time (for now) that THE PLAYERS Championship will be played in May. Starting next year, the tournament will be moved back to March and be played ahead of The Masters. That adds a bit of intrigue outside of your DFS play this week.

As is the case with these picks, we’ll go through all of the price tiers on DraftKings fantasy golf and look at the players we consider playable options. We’ll then conclude the proceedings with a look at several lineups that utilize different strategies before choosing an ideal lineup for the weekend.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s start with the top-dollar players for your DraftKings fantasy golf picks for THE PLAYERS Championship 2018.
