This week, the LPGA Tour travels to Naples, Florida for the last event of the season. Let’s take a look at this event from a fantasy golf perspective.

Before I discuss my fantasy golf player selections I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide a specific lineup. Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a Draftkings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!

Here are my Draftkings player selections for the CME Group Tour Championship!

Inbee Park $10,700

More from Pro Golf Now

The South Korean arrives at this week’s event on the heels of three consecutive top six finishes on the LPGA Tour, including a second place result at the Volunteer of America Classic two weeks ago.

Park is currently ranked sixth in driving accuracy (81.66%), second in putts per GIR (1.75), and third in scoring average (69.93) on the LPGA Tour.

I also like the fact that Park has performed well at the CME Group Tour Championship in the past. An example of her previous quality play at this event can clearly be seen in her sixth place finish at the 2016 CME Group Tour Championship.

Charley Hull $9,400

If you are looking for a course horse look no further than Charley Hull. Hull certainly likes playing this week’s event. Just take a look at her results at this tournament. Hull has played the CME Group Tour Championship five times since 2015. In those five events played, Hull has four top 15 finishes, including a win at the 2016 CME Group Tour Championship.

Meghan Khang $8,000

The 23 year old American has three top 13 finishes in her last six events played on the LPGA Tour, including a fifth place result at last week’s Women’s U.S. Open.

It should also be noted that Khang finished 23rd at the 2019 CME Group Tour Championship.

Jenny Shin $7,400

Shin has four top 35 finishes in her last five events played on the LPGA Tour, including a 23rd place result at last week’s Women’s U.S. Open. In my opinion, Shin presents outstanding fantasy golf value at a Draftkings price of only $7,400.

Sarah Schmelzel $6,900

The 26 year old began the year with three consecutive missed cuts. However, Schmelzel turned her season around after that unfortunate start by reeling off 11 straight consecutive cuts. She also has been stacking up some quality finishes on the LPGA Tour in the process. She has five top 25 finishes this season, including a 20th place result at the Pelican Women’s Championship last month.

Additional golfers I like this week: Jin Young Ko $10,900: Lydia Ko $10,100: Hannah Green $7,000.

As always, good luck!
