AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am DraftKings Sleeper Picks
By Matt Cochran
The PGA TOUR heads to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week in a stacked field. Here are five sleeper picks for your DraftKings lineups.
After a week off from the windy conditions of the West Coast, the PGA TOUR heads back to California this week for one of the better tournaments on the calendar schedule with the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am hosts one of the deeper fields we’ve seen this season with six of the top 10 golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking and 12 of the top 25 best players in the world. Jordan Spieth is back in the States after his world tour and joined by Jason Day, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, and Justin Rose.
There are a lot of sexy names to have in your DraftKings lineups this week, but only if you can afford them. You must create the cash flow for these bigger names by finding cheaper options in the field.
When looking for some sleeper picks this week at Pebble Beach, there are a few things to take into account. The first is that the golfers are playing on another three-course format with Pebble Beach, Spyglass GC, and Monterey CC, including a 54-hole cut.
All three courses are under 7,000 yards, so the bigger hitters will be taking aim with wedges on their approach shots most of the time. For that reason, I’m keeping an eye on the bigger hitters with a solid game from 125 yards and in. It also helps to find someone leading in birdie average and strokes gained tee-to-green.
With these key statistics in mind, here are five cheap value options that stick out this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
