Fantasy Golf: Sleeper DraftKings Selections for Genesis Invitational

Last week three of my five undervalued and sleeper DraftKings selections made the cut at Pebble Beach. My selections were highlighted by Will Gordon, who finished in a tie for 21st.

This week the tour heads to LA, where the only way you can play is by invite at the Genesis Invitational.

As always, check out Hans Geevers full-lineup picks that he posts each and every week. Hans’ article is also great for reading about the course, and how he believes it will play.

And of course, as always in my articles, I am only looking at players under the average DraftKings salary of $8,333. Finding value is the most important thing when making your selections, so I hope to bring you some solid options.

The key stats I will be looking at this week will be strokes gained around the green and putting, par 4 scoring average, bogey avoidance, par 3 efficiency 175-200 yards, and greens in regulation. Here are my selections.

Kevin Na $7,900

I am going with three 7K selections this week, as I believe this is a fantastic 7K range, and Na might be the best of them all.

So far on tour this season, Na sits tied 21st in strokes gained around the green, tied 32nd in par 3 efficiency 175-200 yards, tied 67th in par 4 scoring average, and tied 80th in greens in regulation.

Although Na was cut from his last start at The American Express, he won the week before at the Sony Open. At this event Na has made the cut in three of his last four starts, including a second place finish in 2018, and a fourth place finish in 2017.

Cameron Tringale $7,600

Many moons ago, I wrote my first article for this site about Cameron Tringale, and he once again shows up in my sleeper selections. Tringale had his second-best finish of the season last week at Pebble, finishing in a tie for seventh.

So far this season, Tringale sits tied 19th in greens in regulation, 22nd in bogey avoidance, 23rd in strokes gained putting, 24th in par 3 efficiency 175-200 yards, and tied 28th in par 4 scoring average.

This will be Tringale’s 10th career start at this event, he’s currently 8/9 on cuts at “The Riv” highlighted by an eighth place finish in 2017.

Wyndham Clark $7,100

My last 7K selection this week is Wyndham Clark. Clark has made four-straight cuts, and has a season best of second at the Bermuda Championship back in November.

So far on tour this season, Clark sits 25th in strokes gained around the green, tied 30th in bogey avoidance, 47th in par 3 efficiency 175-200 yards, tied 49th in par 4 scoring average, and tied 88th in greens in regulation.

Some of my other favorite 7K plays include Russell Henley, Carlos Ortiz, and James Hahn.

Charles Howell III $6,800

My first 6K selection this week is Charles Howell III. Howell will be making his 20th career start at Riviera this week. Howell has made 15/19 cuts so far, including winning the 2007 Nissan Open.

So far on tour this season, Howell sits 18th in strokes gained putting, tied 28th in par 4 scoring average, 39th in bogey avoidance, tied 64th in greens in regulation, and 85th in strokes gained around the green.

Bo Hoag $6,300

My final selection this week, and a major value play is Bo Hoag. Hoag has been on a nice run since The RSM Classic where he finished T30. From there, Hoag has made 4/6 cuts, including a T16 finish at The American Express and a T18 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open.

On tour this season, Hoag sits 40th in bogey avoidance, 42nd in greens in regulation, 44th in strokes gained around the green, tied 49th in par 4 scoring average, tied 55th in par 3 efficiency 175-200 yards, and tied 91st in strokes gained putting.

Hoag will be making his first career start at Riviera, so hopefully the moment won’t be too big for Hoag.

Some of my other favorite 6K plays include Doug Ghim, Vaughn Taylor, and Harold Varner III.
