The PGA Tour is at TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship. The course is a par 70 with a yardage of 6,841.
Just like last week, picking a bomber isn’t important to construct a winning lineup. Ball Striking is probably the most important stat to consider when picking golfers.
This week’s article is going to be a little bit different. We are going to be as transparent as possible by showing you our entire 6-golfer lineup.
Billy’s Plays
I know I said you don’t need a bomber, but Dustin Johnson is way too cheap not to play him for $9,400. DJ played great down the stretch last week. His short game was terrible.
I like pairing DJ with another big name with Justin Rose at $9,200. Rose appears to be in form if you take away a few missed easy putts.
Seriously, you don’t need bombers, but I have to play Tony Finau for $8,200. And, I have to play Sergio Garcia, who looked pretty well last week.
Austin’s Plays
Austin is playing Bubba Watson at $8,800. Watson has been playing well and loves this course. He’s probably going to be owned by a high percentage, but Bubba could be worth playing.
Bryson DeChambeau is another big name in Austin’s roster. Bryson is bombing the ball all over the golf course, but he’s been consistent with it.
Jordan Spieth is a great golfer, but he just doesn’t pay off to play him in DraftKings. It just seems like it’s always something going on with his game.
I think we will see another packed leaderboard on Sunday.
Others to consider: Jon Rahm $10,200, Patrick Reed $8,700, Joaquin Niemann $7,900, and Viktor Hovland $7,800.
