The PGA Championship at Bellerive is the final major championship of the season. It’s also got quite the stacked field. These players could help you win big this weekend in your DraftKings fantasy golf league.

The PGA Championship this week is a big finish for the 2018 major schedule. A stacked field highlights Bellerive’s first PGA TOUR event in a decade, and its first major in more than a quarter century.

What does that all mean for you, the intrepid fantasy golf player? As with every major, the PGA Championship being especially deep this year means that value can be found all over the salary spectrum. Specific to DraftKings, this week’s top value picks range from under $7,000, to two in the $9,000-and-up category.

Of course, that also means you need to be a little more careful about who you plug into your lineup this week. As tempting as it is to just click away on Dustin Johnson or Rory McIlroy – and they’re both outstanding picks, if you can afford them – there’s a ton of guys out there who might give you a more balanced, less top-heavy lineup.

This week’s focus is going to be finding the players who will give you the absolute best bang for your buck throughout the lineup. That may sound simplistic, but in most weeks, the top players absolutely monopolize the top salaries. Not so much in a major, and that’s something you can use to your advantage.

The five players we’ll highlight here are ones that I like to outperform their general salary ranking in DraftKings standard fantasy leagues. Whether you try to fit them all into a single lineup, or use some of them to balance out the players you already like, look for some big returns on your investment here.
