2024 Genesis Championship Draftkings Picks
Guido Migliozzi $9,900
The talented Italian has compiled two top 18 finishes in his last four events played on the DP World Tour, including an eighth-place result at the 2024 FedEx Open de France two weeks ago.
Yannik Paul $9,700
Yannik Paul has tallied four top 24 finishes in his last five tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 19th place result at the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship three weeks ago.
Johannes Veerman $9,500
The talented American arrives at this week’s DP World Tour event on the heels of two consecutive top 14 finishes, including an eighth-place result at the 2024 FedEx Open de France earlier this month.
I fully expect Johannes Veerman to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2024 Genesis Championship.
Joost Luiten $9,300
Joost Luiten has accumulated three top 23 finishes in his last seven tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including an impressive sixth place finish at the 2024 Omega European Masters last month.
Joost Luiten also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Luiten is currently ranked 18th in driving accuracy (61.06%), 14th in GIR (greens in regulation-70.37%), and 19th in par five scoring (4.51) on the DP World Tour.
Richie Ramsay $8,000
Richie Ramsay has tallied two top 22 finishes in his last three tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 20th place finish at last week’s 2024 Andalucia Masters.
Due to Richie Ramsay’s quality finish at the 2024 Andalucia Masters I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Ramsay fared relative to the field.
Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Andalucia Masters, in relation to the field, Richie Ramsay ranked third in driving accuracy (69.6%), second in strokes gained putting (1.839), 20th in bogey avoidance (2), and 20th in scoring average (69.50).
