Golf Top Plays: Genesis Scottish Open

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 price descending order. At the bottom, you’ll find suggested rankings by site once salary is accounted for.

HIGH-PRICED

Scottie Scheffler ($13,100 DK, $13,900 FD) – Scheffler is back in the field for the first time since his T6 finish at the Travelers Championship and once again checks in as our top overall value despite the lofty $13.1K price tag on DraftKings. Though The Renaissance Club introduces more variance and compresses skill, as noted in McKinley’s Course Preview and Fits article, we would still expect Scottie to separate as the field’s safest option this week, just as we would on a ‘normal’ PGA Tour venue. He ranks first in this field in Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and Approach over the last 12 months, is sixth Around-the-Green, and 14th in Putting.
