Fantasy Golf: 2023 RSM Classic DFS Player Selections
By Hans Geevers
This week, the PGA Tour presents fantasy golf fans with the last full field event of the season, the 2023 RSM Classic.
The 2023 RSM Classic will be played at the Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
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 DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!
Here are my DraftKings/fantasy golf selections for the 2023 RSM Classic.
Billy Horschel $8,400
Billy Horschel has accumulated five top-20 finishes in his last six tournaments played (DP World and PGA Tours combined), including a fourth-place result at the 2023 Wyndham Championship in August.
It should also be noted that Billy Horschel has posted a quality result at the Sea Island Resort in the past. Horschel finished second at the 2016 RSM Classic.
Matthew NeSmith $7,000
Matthew NeSmith certainly checks the box for me when it comes to previous course/event history. Since 2019, Matthew NeSmith has played the RSM Classic three times. In those three events just noted, NeSmith has accumulated two top-15 finishes, including a 14th-place result at the 2019 RSM Classic.
Ryan Brehm $6,100
Last week, Ryan Brehm fired a first-round 64 at the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship en route to an eventual 20th-place finish.
Ryan Brehm is a golfer that loves playing on coastal golf courses. Additionally, Ryan Brehm tends to excel putting on Bermuda grass greens. Having stated that, if you are looking for a low-cost player option on DraftKings with a relatively high ceiling you can’t go wrong with Ryan Brehm at only $6,100.
Additional golfers I like this week: Ludvig Aberg $10,900: Alex Noren $9,400: Brendon Todd $8,500: J.J. Spaun $8,000.
