DraftKings Lineups for the British Open

As is customary with doing this, we’re going to look at a few lineups that you could potentially play using the picks that we’ve already discussed. Theses lineups will deploy different popular strategies and the best version of what you can do there. After that, we’ll get to my ideal lineup. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s get to the first lineup.

Stars and Scrubs

Dustin Johnson ($11,300)
Justin Rose ($10,200)
Henrik Stenson ($8,200)
Russell Henley ($6,900)
Charles Howell III ($6,700)
Austin Cook ($6,600)

There’s some tremendous value throughout the picks and this stars and scrubs lineup undoubtedly highlights that. To have arguably the two best/hottest players in the world in your lineup with Johnson and Rose and still have solid upside with the rest of the picks in addition to stability really says something special.

Mid-Tier Loadup

Brooks Koepka ($9,200)
Tiger Woods ($8,900)
Francesco Molinari ($8,600)
Alex Noren ($8,300)
Ian Poulter ($7,800)
Tony Finau ($7,200)

Finau being a tremendous value for this tournament makes this lineup possible, though I would prefer the stars and scrubs when putting them side-by-side. Having said that, there are six candidates to win The Open in this lineup, which is the kind of reward you want if you go after all mid-tier level guys.

My Ideal DraftKings British Open Lineup

Rickie Fowler ($9,700)
Tommy Fleetwood ($9,400)
Alex Noren ($8,300)
Henrik Stenson ($8,200)
Zach Johnson ($7,200)
Tony Finau ($7,200)

I love this lineup, without question. Again, I think you have six guys that could ultimately win The Open Championship, but also six guys that should see the weekend and make strong plays no matter what. Take this lineup to the bank.
