After a one week stint in Hawaii, the LPGA Tour returns to the mainland of the United States for the 2021 HUGEL-AIR PREMIA LA Open. Fantasy golf fans will be presented with a stacked field of talent as the majority of the best golfers on the LPGA Tour will be in this event’s field. A few of the notable names that are in this week’s 2021 HUGEL-AIR PREMIA LA Open field include Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson, and defending champion Min-Jee Lee.

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!
