DraftKings fantasy golf picks: The Northern Trust 2018

The best DraftKings fantasy golf picks for The Northern Trust 2018, which tees off on Thursday, Aug. 23, complete with lineups and strategy.

The FedEx Cup Playoffs have officially arrived on the PGA Tour, starting on Thursday as The Northern Trust 2018 tees off from gorgeous Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, NJ. After the field last week at the Wyndham Championship didn’t hinder the level of play, the field this week is loaded with the biggest names in golf. Subsequently, the DraftKings fantasy golf slate is littered with high-quality options.

It makes sense that DraftKings players looking to make money with The Northern Trust tournament will have their pick of basically any big-name golfer they could want. After all, this is the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. This is when the best players from the season will compete down the stretch to try and win the FedEx Cup, which means the heavy hitters will be out in full effect.

Having said that, the presence of these big names and the best golfers in the world makes picking your DraftKings golf lineup that much more difficult. Not only are players tasked with finding the right big names to put into their lineups, but they also must look at the value plays at The Northern Trust and identify who can compete with the big guns on the PGA Tour this week.

As always, we’re going to go through each pricing tier on DraftKings and highlight the potential fantasy golf picks that you could make from there. From there, we’ll use several strategies to construct various lineups, including what I call my ideal lineup for the week. Sound good?

Let’s get started diving into The Northern Trust 2018 with the top-tier players on DraftKings this week.
