This week, the PGA Tour travels to the Dominican Republic for the 2022 Corales Puntacana Championship. Let’s take a look at this week’s PGA Tour 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 an exact lineup for a specific fantasy provider. 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 GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!

Here are my DFS player selections for the 2022 Corales Puntacana Championship.

Jhonattan Vegas

Jhonattan Vegas fired a first round 64 at last week’s 2022 Valspar Championship en route to an eventual 27th place finish.

Due to the fact that Vegas played relatively well last week, I decided to take a hard look at the player statistics for the event to see how Jhonattan fared relative to the field. Upon completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2022 Valspar Championship, in relation to the field, Jhonattan Vegas ranked seventh in strokes gained putting (1.64), first in driving distance (313.6 yards), and seventh in GIR (greens in regulation-72.2%).

Vegas also checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. Vegas has played this week’s PGA Tour event three times since 2019. In those three tournaments just mentioned, Vegas has accumulated two top 26 finishes, including an 18th place result at the 2021 Corales Puntacana Championship.

Greyson Sigg

In January, Greyson Sigg posted a first round 65 at the 2022 American Express on his way to an eventual 25th place result.

I also like the fact that Sigg has performed well at this week’s event in the past. More specifically, Greyson Sigg finished ninth at the 2021 Corales Puntacana Championship.

Graeme McDowell

Earlier this month, Graeme McDowell posted a third round 69 at the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational en route to a 13th place finish.

Upon completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational, in relation to the field, Graeme McDowell ranked tenth in putting average (1.68) and 19th in driving accuracy (60.7%).

It should also be noted that Graeme McDowell won the 2019 Corales Puntacana Championship.

Joel Dahmen

Joel Dahmen has accumulated three top 39 finishes in his last six tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a sixth place result at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last month. Dahmen also won the 2021 Corales Puntacana Championship. Clearly, Dahmen likes playing this golf tournament.

Additional players I like this week: Adam Svensson: Nate Lashley: Kramer Hickok: David Hearn.
