DraftKings fantasy golf picks: PGA Championship 2019
10,000-9,000
Justin Rose ($9,900) Missing the cut at The Masters was a tough look for Rose, but he bounced by in his last outing by finishing third at the Wells Fargo. The Englishman is still one of the best in the world and, despite his disappointing first major, is a player that provides some value by not being in the top-top tier on DraftKings for the PGA Championship.
Francesco Molinari ($9,700) Molinari’s collapse at Augusta and then missing the cut at the RBC Heritage is probably in the mind of every DraftKings player to this point, but it shouldn’t dissuade everyone. The Italian is still immensely talented and, overall, has been playing great golf for the past year. It’s a slight gamble at this price, but he’s worth it if he’s in the zone.
Jon Rahm ($9,500) Though he’s been off since playing at The Masters (aside from winning the Zurich Classic) Rahm has been playing exceptionally well of late, going T12 at THE PLAYERS, T6 at the Valspar and T9 at The Masters in his last three regular starts. He’s as talented as any player in the world and could be due to become a major winner.
Rickie Fowler ($9,300) Pretty under the radar, Fowler has been rolling in 2019 with 12 made cuts in as many tries along with a win and six top-10 finishes, including T9 at The Masters and T4 at the Wells Fargo in his last two times out. He’s due to win a major, and he could well be in the mix to do that at this PGA Championship.
Tommy Fleetwood ($9,200) Fleetowood was admittedly disappointing at The Masters, where he finished T36. However, he has traditionally played well at courses like Bethpage Black where players will have to grind out scoring, going back to his recent history at the U.S. Open. If he shows that, he’s dangerous and could be a great add this week.
Xander Schauffele ($9,100) After tying for second at The Masters and, despite some outliers, really playing well throughout this season, many people are jumping on Schauffele this week and rightfully so. This is a player that can kill the ball off the tee and, when he’s on, be deadly with his irons. If he’s on, he could be a pick to win at Bethpage Black.
