Hello RotoBaller PGA crew! It's great to be back with you guys and I appreciate you joining us here at RotoBaller for your PGA DFS research. This week we'll dig into the FanDuel PGA DFS slate for the third event of the season.
In this article, we'll discuss some of the standout PGA DFS plays available on FanDuel for the 2022 Shriners Children's Open. While it's impossible to hit on every player, we'll touch on some different plays across all price ranges, breaking the groups down into "High", "Mid", and "Low" price options that are worth considering.
Like always, the purpose of this piece is to help you put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups for FanDuel, whether that be from a GPP perspective or a cash-game mentality. Be sure to also read all of our other top-notch weekly PGA DFS and betting articles to help you win big!
The Course: TPC Summerlin: Par: 71, Yardage: 7,255, Greens: Bent, Designer: Fuzzy Zoeller & Bobby Weed
TPC Summerlin: Par: 71, Yardage: 7,255, Greens: Bent Designer: Fuzzy Zoeller & Bobby Weed
Before we could spell out Mississippi we have jumped back to the west coast, teeing it up in Las Vegas this week. TPC Summerlin has seen ridiculously low scores win this event before, with Sungjae Im blitzing the field last year at -24. Approach play and putting will go a long way to securing victory.
For an in-depth breakdown of this week's course, check out RotoBaller's PGA Premium Course Breakdown by Josh Bennett!
We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools and DFS advice. Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event including DFS lineup picks for DraftKings/FanDuel, betting advice and DFS prop picks.
Patrick Cantlay is, on paper, a tier above everybody else in the field. Gaining an average of +2.9 strokes per round in his 16 rounds here since 2017. That translates to a T8, 2nd, 2nd, and 1st in those four starts. Not only does he have impeccable course history here, but he also enters the week with eight top-15s in his last nine starts. His game has no apparent weaknesses, and his exceptional consistency backs that up. His most expensive price tag is fully warranted and if you are looking for a high-floor, high-ceiling play, there may not be a better pick out there, albeit a popular one.
Tom Kim enters the week having gained +2.1 strokes per round in the three months leading up to the BMW Championship, which was his seventh-straight event, having made the cut in all seven of those starts. After some rest, he stole the hearts of golf fans around the world with his passionate performance at the Presidents Cup, and a fully recharged and confident Tom Kim should give him another opportunity to potentially go toe-to-toe with Cantlay yet again. Kim's putter kept won him the Wyndham Championship only three PGA starts ago. His game is ideal for this course and confidence is overflowing, making him one of my favorite plays in the high-priced range.
Not typically known for his putting, Emiliano Grillo has averaged +0.74 strokes putting in his last 26 rounds. Those include three top-5s and a handful of top-30s. His irons were 6th best in last week's field and f he can continue to play the golf he has been over the last few months, he will hopefully fall into a win, and not out of one like he did last Sunday. Considering those priced around him, you can argue he has the best upside relative to his salary-mates.

Coming off a solo fourth at last week's Sanderson Farms, Dean Burmester finds himself in yet another birdie fest, which he has shown a propensity to play well in. A concern with Dean is his iffy irons, but with his length off the tee and tidy short game, he still manages to score well by leaning on his sharp short game. If his irons spike, as they have in past rounds, the rest of his game is usually always there to capitalize on the weeks he excels on approach.
The ever-smiling tour veteran appears to be going under the radar in DFS circles, as he is not known to be a premier ball striker. He had two really impressive days of iron-play before the cut and gained off the tee in all four rounds en route to a T12. With an electric short game at times, Kuchar is capable of gaining strokes in bunches around the greens. Kuchar will not be a popular play this week, but he has only missed two cuts in his last 12 starts, making him a relatively safe play for someone with a lack of demand on the DFS market.
Mark Hubbard, on the other hand, may be four times the ownership of Matt Kuchar, at a cheaper price. He entered last Sunday with the lead and had a nervy Sunday, but still lead the field in strokes gained approach over the four days. If he continues to strike his irons this well, he is arguably one of the most underpriced players on the slate. He has three top-5s in his last seven starts (two of them were in alternate field events) and when his putter pops he seems to find himself towards the top of a leaderboard.
After easily making the cut in his first two PGA starts of the season, Robby Shelton proceeded to lose a total of six strokes over his two Saturday rounds. This is a good thing...looking optimistically forward. He has shown the ability to play impressive golf at a PGA Tour level, with one bad round derailing his chances at a high finish. In his six other non-Saturday rounds he is averaging +1.97 strokes. He won one of the last few KFT events and has finished T42 and T34 in his last two appearances at TPC Summerlin. If he can string together four positive rounds, which he has done on the KFT many times, he could be a slate breaker at this price.
After a month's break, Garrick Higgo started off his 2023 campaign with a missed cut and then a third-place finish last week, gaining over two strokes in each round. The first sign of promise is his success last week came off of stacking four consecutive rounds. Secondly, it happened after taking some time off where he could have identified something in his game. Had he played this well in the middle of the season with no apparent logical reason for the improvement, he would not have featured in this article. The fact that his play has improved after a break from action, gives me reason to believe he has indeed rectified his game. In a price range where many players are at risk of missing the cut, Higgo at least offers the upside that many of those around him do not.
