PGA Tour: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Featured Fantasy Picks

Jon Rahm — $9,600

This young Spaniard has been immensely impressive during his brief time on the PGA Tour. In 14 starts dating back to last summer, Rahm has found the top 25 on nine occasions, so he’s set the tone for a long and consistent career on the game’s top golf circuit. Among those finishes are a tie for second at last summer’s RBC Canadian Open and a victory at the Farmers Insurance Open just a couple of weeks ago, so he’s been contending for trophies in addition to backdoor top 10s.

This week, Rahm will be the fifth-most expensive option in DraftKings, but even so, he should be able to provide great value. He hasn’t displayed any signs of slowing down since his Torrey Pines win, tying for 16th at the Waste Management Phoenix Open last week. What’s more, he’s strong from a statistical perspective – on the new PGA Tour season, he ranks 18th in strokes gained: tee-to-green and sixth in birdie average, so he’s converting on plenty of opportunities. His tremendous talent should help him overcome his notable lack of experience at Pebble Beach, so don’t be afraid to use him in any format. He’s only going to get better from here.
