Jon Rahm will likely be among the top PGA DFS picks this week for the 2023 Travelers Championship. Rahm won the Masters in April, and he's secured four victories and nine top-10 finishes this season. However, daily Fantasy golf players will have to decide if he can be trusted when setting their PGA DFS strategy for the 2023 Travelers Championship, which gets underway from TPC River Highlands on Thursday, June 22. With a PGA DFS player pool featuring fellow major champions like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas, PGA DFS players will have to decide which golfers are worth investing in.
Can any of those household names be relied on as PGA DFS picks this week? Or is it time to fade them in favor of players with a significantly lower price tag? Before you lock in your PGA DFS picks for the 2023 Travelers Championship, you'll want to see the latest daily Fantasy golf picks, advice and player pool from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS pro with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA Tour picks this season. McClure is also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every tournament 10,000 times, taking factors like statistical trends, past results and current form into account. This allows him to find the best PGA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any PGA DFS player.
Last week at the U.S. Open, McClure listed Rickie Fowler among his top PGA DFS picks. The result: Fowler set a U.S. Open record with 23 birdies over his four rounds at Los Angeles Country Club, securing a T-5 finish in the process. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable weekend.
In addition, McClure's model is up over $10,000 on its best bets since June 2020, nailing tournament after tournament. This same model has also nailed a whopping nine majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 Travelers Championship and revealed his optimal PGA DFS advice, strategy and player pool. Head to SportsLine now to see his top golf DFS picks for the Travelers Championship 2023.
Top 2023 Travelers Championship PGA DFS picks
One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the 2023 Travelers Championship is Russell Henley at $7,800 on DraftKings and $9,500 on FanDuel.
In order to score well at TPC River Highlands, players will need to be extremely accurate off the tee and few do it better than Henley. In fact, the 34-year-old enters the Travelers Championship ranked first in driving accuracy (72.68%). He's also finished T-19 or better in five of his last six starts on the PGA Tour. Those impressive results make Henley a complete steal at this price point, so confidently lock him in your PGA DFS lineups.
McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Viktor Hovland at $9,900 on DraftKings and $11,400 on FanDuel. Hovland certainly has the game to return value at TPC River Highlands this week. The 25-year-old is full of confidence after securing his fourth PGA Tour title at the Memorial Tournament earlier this month. He's also racked up seven top-10 finishes this season, making him a solid building block for your PGA DFS lineups.
Hovland is currently ranked sixth in strokes gained: off the tee (0.718), 12th in strokes gained: total (1.469) and 17th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.597). His ability to consistently put himself in advantageous positions has allowed Hovland to average 4.19 birdies per round, the 10th-best mark on the PGA Tour. See who else to back right here.
