FanDuel DFS Golf: The CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek Player Picks
By Hans Geevers
This week, the PGA Tour presents the FanDuel/DFS community with the CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek. 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!
