Fantasy Golf: Arnold Palmer Invitational DraftKings picks

The Arnold Palmer Invitational boasts a powerful field worthy of the late Mr. Palmer himself. What does that mean for your DraftKings daily fantasy roster?

The Arnold Palmer Invitational is one of the PGA TOUR’s best stops. The connection with the King was never more evident anywhere in golf, save perhaps for Augusta National. However, even with Mr. Palmer gone, he is far from forgotten. The signature umbrella will be omnipresent this week, as players and fans all pay tribute to one of the best men ever to grace this great game.

What does that have to do with daily fantasy golf? Nothing, really. It simply can’t be overstated how important Mr. Palmer’s contribution to this game continues to be. If you’re looking for the fantasy connection, though, look no further than a remarkably deep list of stars who have accepted the invitation to the Bay Hill Club and Lodge this week.

The course at Bay Hill is one of the most fair tests of a player’s all-around game on the TOUR schedule. To win, a player will need to have their fair share of distance and accuracy off the tee, a precise iron game on approach, and the ability to recover from trouble around the greens. Sounds simple, and on paper it is. But as we know all too well, that is all too often easier said than done.

This week, we have your top five value picks for daily fantasy play. As usual, we are basing our salary values on DraftKings standard pricing. You may need to adjust for a different site’s cap and rules, but the underlying analysis will translate regardless.

And – spoiler alert – there’s a very, very familiar name making a return to this list. Let’s get it started.
