PGA Tour Fantasy Picks: Arnold Palmer Invitational

Wesley Bryan — $7,100

After a terrific season on the Web.com Tour in 2016, Bryan is starting to flash some of that winning form on the game’s top level. With a sweet swing and a relatively cheap DraftKings price tag, he’s got a great chance to pack a fantasy punch at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.

Bryan has found the top 10 in each of his last three starts, notching back-to-back fourth-place finishes at Riviera and PGA National before ending up in a tie for seventh at the Valspar Championship last week. He was statistically strong at Innisbrook, ranking seventh in the field in strokes gained: tee-to-green and third in putts per green in regulation. In addition, he’s one of the PGA Tour’s top 30 players in both strokes gained: approach-the-green and strokes gained: around-the-green. While this week will mark his first career start at Bay Hill, he’s become adept at taming courses as a newcomer.

Bryan may lack experience this week, but just about everything else is working in his favor. He currently has more momentum than the vast majority of his peers, and with a $7,100 salary in DraftKings, you can slot him in without having to stretch your budget.
