Editor’s Note: We may not write up every player we consider to be a top play. Be sure to consult the chart at the bottom of the page. This article will update to reflect any injury or weather news.
DFS OPTIMIZER: If you are looking for a DFS optimizer, we have two options for ETR subscribers. Both of these products will sync automatically with ETR content (projections, ownership, etc.) if you already have an ETR golf subscription. Use the following links for full details about each product: THESOLVER (Optimizer + Bankroll Tracker) & Fantasy Labs (Optimizer).
Below, you will find the players we consider the best for the slate. These do NOT account for ownership, but they do account for salary. In other words, Jon Rahm could be our No. 1 play in the high range… but he could also be a bad tournament play because he projects for 60% ownership in an extreme example.
This article is for cash games (contests in which roughly 50% of the field gets paid out, such as a head-to-head or double-up). For tournaments, our focus should be more on the projected ownership and projected ceiling columns in our projections table.
With that said, these are our Top Plays considering the following factors: median projection, lower volatility, upside, and value. They are listed in descending order by price. At the bottom, you’ll find suggested rankings by site once salary is accounted for.
HIGH-PRICED
Benjamin James ($10,900 DK, $12,600 FD) – As McKinley pointed out in Course Preview and Fits, the field, the weather, and the course will result in the Bermuda Championship giving DFS players plenty of variance and names at the top of the leaderboard we haven’t seen all year and might not see again after. When outside factors compress skill, the best golfers aren’t as likely to separate. However, golfers like James have the skill set that makes them attractive options regardless, ranking sixth in this field over the last 12 months in Driving Accuracy, eighth in Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee, 10th in Approach, 16th Around-the-Green, and 15th in Putting. It’s a complete profile that should allow him to separate.
