PGA DFS Example Lineups: AT&T Byron Nelson Championship
Published: May 11, 2022
The 2022 PGA Tour tees off on Thursday in McKinney, Texas for the AT&T Byron Nelson. We are one week away from the second Major Championship this year and we’re treated to a fairly talented field for this weekend’s PGA DFS slate. Almost half of the top 15 players in the 2022 FedEx Cup Standings are in the field for this week. Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele, Sam Burns, and others will take the course by storm and use this as a tune up for next week’s PGA Championship from Tulsa, Oklahoma. PGA DFS this week will be peppered with low scoring. The weather is looking clear, there will be moderate Texas winds, and this course is incredibly easy by all accounts. When Sunday rolls around and we’re looking at the AT&T Byron Nelson leaderboard, we’ll likely see scores between 20-30 under par and we could see plenty of golfers in the value range in the top 25. Our PGA DFS Projections are a little tamer than my expectations, but this will be a festival of birdies at TPC Craig Ranch. The PGA DFS Playbook features a lot of golfers that specialize in approach. If you’re terrible around the greens, that may not matter this week given how easy the greens are to hit. This is a wide open course, which makes the DFS aspect a little more fun.
Now in the interest of complete transparency, I wasn’t a fan of the Yahoo Daily pricing. I haven’t played Yahoo Daily Fantasy since NFL season so it was my first time looking at PGA DFS salaries over there. So as is always the case, the PGA DFS Example Lineups are not meant to be plugged and played. They’re meant to give you an idea of how I’m approaching the slate. Lineup building was much easier on DraftKings and FanDuel. Yahoo is tricky because as soon as you plug in Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Scottie Scheffler, or anyone at the top, you’re really struggling to find reliable value options. I’ll be in and out of the PGA DFS Discord channel on Wednesday so don’t hesitate to post your questions regarding the PGA DFS Picks this week, and let’s use this as a tune-up for ourselves ahead of next week’s PGA Championship!
