DraftKings PGA Fantasy Favorites for The Masters Tournament

DraftKings PGA Fantasy Favorites for The Masters Tournament

The battle for a Green Jacket is heating up in Augusta, and DraftKings has us covered for all of our fantasy golf needs. The World’s best will descend upon the home of the Masters, and we have as much intrigue as we have seen in recent years, with both of the favorites in questionable form heading into the marquee event of the calendar year. This is going to make the 2026 Masters perhaps the most exciting yet — and there’s no better place to sweat the action than DraftKings Daily Fantasy.

Top Plays

Scottie Scheffler ($12,400)

Not much needs to be said about Scottie Scheffler that anyone reading this probably doesn’t already know. He is the number one ranked golfer in the world and was the Masters champion in both 2022 and 2024. He is a T-10 golfer in SG: Approach, SG: Tee-to-Green, and SG: Off-the-Tee. Scottie is the highest floor play, which also means he has the highest salary, so we will only be including him in one of our lineups, especially since he has failed to crack the top-20 in each of his last two starts. With that said, you don’t build multiple lineups and leave Scheffler out of all of them. 

Rory McIlroy ($11,600)

McIlroy is the defending Masters Champion, and while he struggles in SG: Putting, he has elite long ball metrics. Rory ranks in the top five in SG: Total, SG: Tee-to-Green, and SG: Off-the-Tee.

His defending champ status makes him at least worth a look despite his high salary and projected rostership numbers, as does the fact that he has placed in the top-10 in eight of his 12 Augusta starts. The T-46 at the PLAYERS Championship inspires little confidence, however, so he may be less chalky than expected.

Bryson DeChambeau ($10,200)

Has been making waves at Augusta over the past two years, staying ‘alive’ deep into the weekend before a T-5 finish. The finish was an improvement on his T-6 the prior year, showing that he has learned to adapt his play style somewhat to fit the course’s demands. The eagle chaser has an entertaining playstyle that fits well with DraftKings scoring, which provides a whopping eight points for eagles. One of the favorites to win his first Green Jacket, Bryson should be strongly considered for GPP plays. 

Tommy Fleetwood ($9,100)

Fleetwood will likely be a bit of a chalky play due to his recent run of success, but his wedge play, coupled with strong SG: Approach metrics, should keep him in the T-20 mix. He finished T-3 in 2024 and T-21 in 2025, so the perceived floor matches what can be viewed as a higher salary for someone you are trying to fit in as a mid-tier play. Still, with a strong putting game (T-40) and his recent success at Augusta, Fleetwood should be strongly considered for both GPP and cash games. 

Corey Conners ($7,900)

Conners appeal stems from his Top-10 finishes from 2022-24 (peaking with a T-6 in 2022) and that he made his way back into the top 10 with a T-8 finish in 2025. He is priced right, so Conners is likely the one golfer who will be making all of my lineups. His putting has improved enough to keep him in the T-10 mix, and he should be brimming with confidence after a T-6 performance at the PLAYERS Championship. He will likely be chalky, but it is for good reason. If you are running multiple lineups, fade him in at least one. If you are running only one, Conners will be hard to ignore.

Patrick Reed ($7,300)

Reed donned the Green Jacket back in 2018 and has a T-12 finish in four of the past five years (T-15 in four straight), including a T-3 finish in 2025. Reed is arguably the best value on the board for the Masters, especially given his history at Augusta. His salary is understandable, however, as he is not someone typically considered at most other courses. Reed will be a staple in my Scheffler lineups and will be strongly considered for my others.
