2024 Players Championship
March 17, 2024 7:35 am EDT
This Sunday, the PGA Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the final round of the 2024 Players Championship.
Before I discuss my DFS player selections, let’s take a look at where the final round of this event will be played.
The final round of the 2024 Players Championship will be played at TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,725 yards.
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!
For those readers who 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 final round DraftKings player selections for the final round of the 2024 Players Championship.
