Fantasy Golf: 2023 Wells Fargo Championship DFS Player Selections

This week, the PGA Tour presents fantasy golf fans with the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship. A quality field of talent, including defending champion Max Homa, will compete to win this week’s event. Let’s take a look at this tournament 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!

Now let’s shift our attention to my fantasy golf selections!

In those nine tournaments just noted, McIlroy has accumulated an impressive eight top-ten finishes, including a win at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship.
