PGA DFS DraftKings lineups for the PGA Championship 2021

There is no one way to build a PGA DFS lineup on DraftKings, so we’re not going to do that. Instead, we’re taking a few different approaches to lineup construction and looking at some possible quality options with those strategies for the PGA Championship.

Stars and Scrubs PGA DFS Lineup

  • Rory McIlroy ($11,500)
  • Jordan Spieth ($10,100)
  • Daniel Berger ($8,700)
  • Charl Schwartzel ($6,800)
  • Alex Noren ($6,600)
  • Dean Burmester ($6,300)

We’re spending big if we’re going after the stars as we take McIlroy and Spieth off the board but Berger with the value plays of Schwartzel and Noren give us enough of a high floor to go really cheap and take that big gamble on the hot-playing Burmester as he comes over from Europe. Upside galore with this lineup.

Mid-Tier Heavy PGA DFS Lineup

  • Cameron Smith ($8,900)
  • Will Zalatoris ($8,800)
  • Daniel Berger ($8,700)
  • Sungjae Im ($8,300)
  • Paul Casey ($7,700)
  • Corey Conners ($7,600)

It feels right to say that all six of these golfers have the goods to win at Kiawah but none of them are necessarily proven commodities when it comes to winning majors. That said, they are all solid options and this might be a lineup that will deliver you a 6-for-6 in cuts made on DraftKings but might not allow you to finish at the top of the money either.

My Ideal PGA DFS Lineup

  • Jordan Spieth ($10,100)
  • Viktor Hovland ($9,300)
  • Daniel Berger ($8,700)
  • Corey Conners ($7,600)
  • Keegan Bradley ($7,300)
  • Charl Schwartzel ($6,800)

Give me this lineup all day, every day. The combination of high floor and elite upside is present at every spot. This could be a legitimate Sunday leaderboard in my opinion. The only thing I don’t like is not having Rory as a part of it but he’s so expensive that it just makes it hard to work with. Thus, this is the best lineup I’m going to come up with if we aren’t taking McIlroy into the equation.
