Tony Finau has struggled to build momentum in 2024, evidenced by his back-and-forth SG: Total pattern in his last seven events. The 34-year-old has paired putting woes with crazy swings in his iron numbers, and the result has been a high-risk, high-reward approach, that tends to fall short at tougher tracks. Finau has never played at Valhalla Golf Club, and while he is plenty long enough to compete on a good day, a lack of iron consistency could leave him in some tough spots off fairways and around the greens. The Utah native is $8,300 on DraftKings, and fantasy managers will likely look elsewhere for a low-floor, high-ceiling play at the PGA Championship this week.

Matt Fitzpatrick looked to turn a corner in his 2024 season when he placed T5 at THE PLAYERS two months ago, but since then he's slowly dropped further and further from contention in each of his last five events. The Englishman putted the lights out in March and April, but he uncharacteristically lost 1.1 strokes on the greens last week to go along with poor approach play and his typically below-average off-the-tee game. Fitz has never played Valhalla, and he's failed to find his red-hot iron ability that aided his two career victories. With his form fully in question, no course history to lean on, and a track that will penalize poor tee-to-green habits, many fantasy managers will pass by Fitzpatrick's $8,900 price tag on DraftKings.

Wyndham Clark has played in three PGA Championships in his late-blooming career, but he failed to make the weekend twice, and placed 75th in the other. Recent play suggests, however, that this might be the year for the 30-year-old to make some noise at a PGA Championship event. Clark has never played Valhalla, but many will recall his dominance at Los Angeles Country Club last year in the 2023 U.S. Open, as well as his win at Quail Hollow in the Wells Fargo Championship. Tee-to-green success in big events has been something golf fans have come to expect from Clark of late, and while he struggled mightily on and around the greens last week, there's enough evidence to suggest that the Colorado native can hang around the top of the leaderboard with a decent showing this week. At $9,500 on DraftKings, Clark provides an intriguing second tier pivot point for daily fantasy managers.

Despite withdrawing from the Wells Fargo Championship last week, all signs point to Ludvig Aberg making his second ever major appearance at the PGA Championship in Louisville this week. The 24-year-old appears to have taken the week off for precautionary maintenance, and given his impressive recent form, it's easy to see why daily fantasy sites and sportsbooks have refused to offer a discount. Aberg has placed 14th or better in each of his last four events, including two elevated events and The Masters. With his irons being one of his best assets, and his around-the-green game being his only real weakness, it would surprise no one to see the Swede back in contention this week. If anything, the injury scare lowered Aberg's ownership percentage, so fantasy managers looking for high upside would do well to target an elevated price tag of $10,500 to differentiate DraftKings lineups.
