2021 Tour Championship DraftKings fantasy golf picks

Published

on

Welcome to a new installment of DraftKings picks from staff writer and host of the Inside Golf Podcast, Andy Lack.

The PGA Tour travels to Atlanta, Georgia, this week for the Tour Championship, the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Only the top-30 players in the FedEx Cup standings will be in attendance at East Lake Golf Club, and all will be competing for the FedEx Cup trophy and the top prize of $15 million dollars.

While this is an incredibly compelling week from a viewing standpoint, it does present an interesting proposition for those inclined to play DraftKings this week. Beginning in 2019, this event switched to a staggered scoring format to eliminate the confusion of two potential winners for the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup title. Patrick Cantlay, who is in first place after his victory last week at the BMW, will begin the tournament at 10-under par. Tony Finau, the number two ranked player, will begin at eight-under par, and so on until we reach the 30th ranked player, who will begin at even par.

Because of this new format, pricing is all over the place. Patrick Cantlay is the most expensive golfer at $13,400, and Erik Van Rooyen is the cheapest option at $5,000. Since there are only 30 players in the field this week, multiple players will crack 30% ownership, and only one or two players will have single digit ownership. While this week certainly isn’t for everyone, I do believe we are presented with an appealing opportunity to lean on game theory (even more than we usually do) and capitalize on some value. Let’s dig into my DraftKings picks for the Tour Championship.

$10,000 range

Jordan Spieth, $10,400 (Projected ownership: 10.98%)

I had no real plans to deploy Jordan Spieth this week, but he is a must play at this ownership. Spieth is in a bit of a dead-zone in the $10,000 range with Dustin Johnson, and double the amount of people are choosing a slightly more expensive Johnson in this spot despite him starting a stroke behind Spieth. That makes little sense to me. While the three-time major champion’s ball-striking has regressed in recent weeks, Spieth has been known to show up on tracks that he loves, regardless of form, and rise to the occasion. So long as he can find some of these fairways, East Lake is a good course for the 12-time PGA Tour winner, as evidenced by his win here in 2017. Spieth has also won at Innisbrook, been solid at TPC Southwind, and experienced plenty of success on Bermuda-grass greens.

$8,000 range 

Harris English, $8,700 (Projected ownership: 10.84%)

Since there are only two players in the $9,000 range this week and I will be playing neither of them, let’s jump down to the eights. I usually fade the Harris English chalk at all costs, so I was shocked to find out that the recent Travelers Championship winner currently carries the third lowest ownership projection of all 30 players in the field. English has been dominant on TPC Southwind, excellent on Bermuda-grass greens, and he profiles well for East Lake statistically as well. Over his last 36 rounds, English ranks 11th in fairways gained and fifth in scrambling. The University of Georgia product should be right at home this week in the southeast.

$7,000 range 

Brooks Koepka, $7,800 (Projected ownership: 17.90%)

Another week, another under-owned Brooks Koepka. I get it, the TOUR Championship is not a major, but I have a hard time believing that the four-time major champion can’t sink his teeth into the task of tracking down his peers from a giant hole. There’s a lot of money on the line this week, even for finishing ninth, and judging from Koepka’s dogged interest in the “PIP”, I think it’s a safe bet to assume this tournament will have his upmost attention. It was obviously overshadowed, but Koepka was good last week at the BMW as well. The Florida native was never going to win, but he fought hard all week and finished a respectable T17 while losing strokes putting, which kind of pokes a hole in the “Brooks only cares when he’s in contention” narrative. If the eight-time PGA Tour winner can grind out a solid weekend while not in contention on what players claimed to be both the hottest week of the year and the most difficult walk of the year, I think it’s fair to surmise that he’ll play hard for four rounds at East Lake, a golf course he’s already finished third and sixth at before.

$6,000 range

Joaquin Niemann, $5,600 (Projected ownership: 18.43%)

While we are not exactly getting a giant ownership break with Joaquin Niemann, fantasy managers are gravitating to the likes of Daniel Berger, Sergio Garcia, Corey Conners, and Hideki Matsuyama in this price range instead. Give me Niemann at depressed ownership. There seems to be a prevailing narrative that the young Chilean should only be deployed on Bent-grass greens, but Niemann has actually averaged 2.6 strokes putting across seven Bermuda-grass starts this season. The former Greenbrier Classic winner is also coming off a performance at the BMW Championship where he gained 1.5 strokes off the tee and 3.9 strokes on approach. Niemann is under-priced and under-owned for the upside he possesses.
