Golf Top Plays: The Sentry

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 ($11,000 DK, $12,400 FD) – Scheffler is the most expensive player on both sites, but for good reason. He checks in as our top overall value on both DraftKings and FanDuel and is accessibly priced given the value on other players throughout the field. Nothing short of unbelievable, Scheffler ranks first in Data Golf’s True Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee, Approach, and Around-the-Green over the last 12 months. If he finds even a Tour-average week on the greens, it could be lights out for the rest of the field.

Collin Morikawa ($9,100 DK) – Morikawa is still a strong value on FanDuel where stars-and-scrubs builds are easier to construct, but he’s so cheap on DraftKings he nearly qualifies as a ‘mid-priced’ value. Morikawa ranks fourth in this field over the last 12 months in DG’s True Strokes Gained: T2G and is one of the field’s best ball-strikers. His history at Kapalua should also give him a leg up on the rest of the field.

MID-PRICED
