PGA Tour Fantasy Picks: Honda Classic
By Sam Belden
Luke Donald — $7,600
It’s always nice to see a former star playing well again, and with a pair of solid performances over the past couple of weeks, Donald definitely qualifies. Fantasy managers should be especially pleased about his recent turnaround — after an unproductive winter, the Englishman has finally regained his fantasy viability, and just in time for the Honda Classic.
As stated, Donald has been hitting it nicely in his last two starts, notching back-to-back top 25 finishes at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Open. At Riviera, he almost resembled his old self, hitting nearly two-thirds of the greens in regulation and placing in a tie for 16th on the week in putts per green in regulation. Perhaps more importantly, he’s compiled a nearly flawless track record in his career at the Honda Classic, boasting a total of four top 10 finishes, including a tie for seventh two years ago.
Available at a more than reasonable price in DraftKings, Donald has a great chance to pack a fantasy punch this week. His track record at PGA National makes him a safe bet to perform, so you should be able to rest easy on Friday afternoon. And who knows? That comeback win may be closer than we think.
