This Sunday, Draftkings golf fans will be presented with the final round of the 2025 American Express. Let’s take a look at the final round of this event from a DFS perspective.

Before I discuss my Draftkings DFS player selections let’s review where the final round of the 2025 American Express will be played.


This week’s 2025 American Express is a pro-am tournament that takes place on three different golf courses over the course of a four-day period. The golf courses the field will play this week are La Quinta Country Club, PGA West Tournament Course, and the PGA West TPC Stadium Course.  The final round will occur on the PGA West TPC Stadium Course.

I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest! Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this DFS slate.

For those readers that are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single round showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single round showdown contests feel free to check out the DraftKings website.

Here are my DraftKings player selections for the final round of the 2025 American Express.

2025 American Express Draftkings Final Round Showdown Picks

Sepp Straka $8,700

Sepp Straka has compiled two top 15 finishes in his last three events played on the PGA Tour, including a 15th place result at the 2025 Sentry two weeks ago.

Due to Sepp Straka’s quality finish at the 2025 Sentry I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how Straka fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 Sentry, in relation to the field, Sepp Straka ranked 17th in GIR (greens in regulation-86.1%), fourth in driving accuracy (80%), 19th in putting average (1.661) and seventh in total birdies made (28).

It is noteworthy that Straka has posted a good result at this week’s PGA Tour event in the past. More specifically, Straka finished fourth at the 2020 American Express.

After the completion of today’s third round of the 2025 American Express, Sepp Straka is currently in solo first place with a three round cumulative score of 23 under par.

Jason Day $8,000

The talented Australian has compiled five top 22 finishes in his last seven tournaments played (PGA and DP World Tour events combined), including an eighth-place result at the 2024 BMW Australian PGA Championship last month. Jason Day also finished 18th at the 2023 American Express.

In summary, I fully expect Jason Day to continue his outstanding play in tomorrow’s final round of the 2025 American Express.

Mark Hubbard $7,300

Mark Hubbard has amassed two top 21 finishes in his last three events played on the PGA Tour, including a third-place result at the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship in November.

J.J. Spaun $8,300

Since the beginning of August, J.J. Spaun has played ten events on the PGA Tour. In those ten tournaments just mentioned, Spaun tallied seven top 30 finishes, including a third-place result at last week’s 2025 Sony Open.

Additional golfers I like to perform well in the final round (Draftkings price noted): Justin Thomas $10,400: Harry Hall $9,200: Will Zalatoris $9,100: Daniel Berger $7,300.
