Fantasy Golf: Sleeper DraftKings Selections for 2021 Wells Fargo Championship

The PGA returns to the site of the 2017 PGA Championship, Quail Hollow. And my undervalued and sleeper DraftKings selections return to your computer, or mobile device.

Last week my sleeper selections were highlighted by Keegan Bradley, who finished in solo second at the Valspar Championship.

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 are strokes gained tee-to-green and putting, driving distance, par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards, and par 4 scoring average. Here are my selections:

Bubba Watson ($8,300)

Coming in just $33 under the average salary is Bubba Watson. Bubba has been hot of late, coming off a 13th place finish at Valspar, and a T26 at The Masters.

So far on tour this season Watson sits T14 in strokes gained tee-to-green, T29 in par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards, and T40 in driving distance.

Bubba hasn’t made a start in the Wells Fargo Championship since 2013, but he does have a second-place finish back in 2009.

Some of my other favorite 8K selections include Sungjae Im ($8,800) and Keegan Bradley ($8,500)

Talor Gooch ($7,600)

My first 7K selection of the week is Talor Gooch. Gooch missed the cut last week at Valspar but has been on a nice run of made cuts before that, including a fifth-place finish at the Players Championship.

So far on tour this season Gooch sits T17 in par 4 scoring average, 50th in par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards, T57 in strokes gained tee-to-green, 66th in strokes gained putting, and 68th in driving distance.

Gooch has made one career start at the Wells Fargo Championship, and it was a good one. He finished in 13th back in 2018.

Matt Jones ($7,400)

My second 7K selection of the week is Matt Jones. Jones is hoping to keep a good stretch of golf going, as he is coming off a win at the Honda Classic back in March, and a T26 finish at the Masters.

So far on tour this season Jones sits T17 in par 4 scoring average, 23rd in par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards, 26th in strokes gained putting, T35 in driving distance, and 70th in strokes gained tee-to-green.

Jones finished 38th at the Wells Fargo Championship back in 2019.

Some of my other favorite 7K selections are Brendan Steele ($7,700) and Matt Wallace ($7,500)

Harry Higgs ($6,600)

My first 6K selection of the week is Harry Higgs. Higgs has made three of his last four cuts on tour, highlighted by a top-20 finish at the Honda Classic.

So far on tour this season Higgs sits T29 in par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards, 78th in driving distance, 88th in strokes gained putting, and 95th in strokes gained tee-to-green.

Higgs will be making his first career start at Quail Hallow.

Brice Garnett (6,300)

Garnett is my final selection of the week. Garnett has made four of his last six cuts on tour, highlighted by a top-five finish at the Puerto Rico Open.

So far on tour this season Garnett sits 15th in strokes gained putting, T41 in par 4 scoring average, and 44th in par 5 efficiency 550-600 yards.

Garnett has made his last two cuts at the Wells Fargo Championship back in 2018 and 2019.
