As with each and every tournament, we're trying to set a six-player lineup with a salary of $50,000 against the salaries set by DraftKings. FanDuel offers a similar game, and the recommendations can apply just the same to their contests and tournaments.

PGA Tour DFS strategy relies on three tenets:

  1. Creating lineups that have low duplication rates, making it less likely that others will have the exact same players as you
  2. Finding players that will finish highly in the tournament, earning bonuses based on their finish
  3. Identifying players that make plenty of birdies and eagles while dropping as few shots as possible, which obviously plays into a player's finish
