This week, the PGA Tour presents the FanDuel/DFS community with the Safeway Open! Let’s take a look at this event from a fantasy golf perspective.

Before I discuss my FanDuel player selections I wanted to clearly state that the purpose of this article is not to provide a specific lineup. Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a FanDuel GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!

Here are my FanDuel player selections for the Safeway Open!

Harold Varner III $10,500

The American has two top 29 finishes in his last three events on the PGA Tour, including a seventh place result at the Wyndham Championship last month.

Varner III is currently ranked 15th in GIR (greens in regulation-70.57%), 17th in strokes gained off the tee (.458), and eighth in strokes gained tee to green (1.145) on the PGA Tour.

Cameron Davis $10,300

The 25 year old Australian has three top 29 finishes in his last four events on the PGA Tour, including a 15th place result at the Wyndham Championship last month. Additionally, Davis finished 17th at the 2018 Safeway Open.

Davis currently ranks 14th in birdie or better percentage (24.04%) and 21st in par five scoring average (4.55) on the PGA Tour.

Henrik Norlander $9,800

The 33 year old has six top 25 finishes on the PGA Tour in the last ten months, including a sixth place result at the Memorial Tournament in July.

Tringale has eight top 30 finishes on the PGA Tour in the last 12 months, including a third place result at the 3M Open in July.
