Fantasy Golf Millionaire Picks: Top DraftKings DFS Plays for the Masters $1M to First Contest
Key Points:
- The Masters, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club since 1934, is the first major of the golf season, with Rory McIlroy as the defending champion after winning last year’s playoff against Justin Rose.
- DraftKings is hosting three large guaranteed prize pool (GPP) contests for the Masters, with entry fees ranging from $10 to $3,333 and $1 million awarded to first place in each.
- Justin Rose is a strong contrarian fantasy pick due to his consistent performance at Augusta, including two playoff losses, a recent win at the Farmers Insurance Open, and a solid start at last year’s Masters.
- Brooks Koepka, despite a recent missed cut, remains a viable option given his strong strokes gained approach (SG APP) ranking and previous high finishes at Augusta, including two runner-up results.
- Tyrell Hatton and Sungjae Im are under-the-radar picks; Hatton has improved steadily at the Masters with multiple top-20 finishes, while Im has a strong history at Augusta and ranks well in strokes gained around the green (SG ARG), despite some recent inconsistent results.
