This week, the DP World Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the 2025 Magical Kenya Open. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a DFS perspective.

Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this tournament let’s review the golf courses the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s 2025 Magical Kenya Open.


Where will the Magical Kenya Open be played?

The 2025 Magical Kenya Open will be played at the the Muthaiga Golf Club in Nairobi, Kenya. The golf course is a par 71 that measures approximately 7,228 yards.

Darius Van Driel won the 2024 Magical Kenya Open with a four round cumulative score of 14 under par.

Magical Kenya Open Key Player Statistics

  • Driving Accuracy
  • Strokes Gained: Approach
  • Strokes Gained Putting
  • GIR (Greens In Regulation)
  • Bogey Avoidance
  • Birdie or Better Percentage

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.

Magical Kenya Open Draftkings Picks

Jorge Campillo $10,300

Jorge Campillo has accumulated three top 19 finishes in his last seven tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 13th result at the 2024 Nedbank Challenge in December.

It is noteworthy that Jorge Campillo has played well at this week’s DP World Tour event in the past. More specifically, Campillo won the 2023 Magical Kenya Open.

John Parry $9,100

Since the beginning of December, John Parry has played eight events on the DP World Tour. In those eight tournaments just noted, Parry has compiled three top 21 finishes, including a win at the 2024 Mauritius Open.

Parry certainly checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. John Parry is currently ranked 15th in bogey avoidance per round (2.32), 25th in driving accuracy (62.25%), seventh in strokes gained approach (0.73), tenth in strokes gained around the green (0.54) and fifth in strokes gained tee to green (1.25) on the DP World Tour.

Additionally, John Parry finished 21st at the 2024 Magical Kenya Open.

Andrea Pavan $8,300

Andrea Pavan has accumulated three top 19 finishes in his last five tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 19th place result at the 2025 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters earlier this month.

Pavan is currently ranked 13th in par three scoring average (2.97), 18th in strokes gained tee to green (0.87), 11th in strokes gained approach (0.65), and 17th in overall strokes gained (1.05) on the DP World Tour.

Kristoffer Reitan $7,600

Kristoffer Reitan has compiled two top 24 finishes in his last three events played on the DP World Tour, including a 14th place result at the 2025 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.

Tapio Pulkkanen $7,200

Tapio Pulkkanen arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of two consecutive top 25 finishes on the DP World Tour, including a 13th place result at the 2025 Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship three weeks ago.

Similar to Jorge Campillo and John Parry, Tapio Pulkkanen has played well at the Kenya Open previously. Pulkkanen finished 19th at the 2024 Magical Kenya Open.

Additional golfers I like to perform well at this week’s DP World Tour event (Draftkings price noted): Joost Luiten $9,500: Adrien Saddier $9,200: Oliver Lindell $8,000: Marcel Schneider $7,900: Brandon Wu $7,800.
