This week, the DP World Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship. 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 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Where will the Ras Al Khaimah Championship?
The 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship will be played at the Al Hamra Golf Club in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,378 yards.
Thorbjorn Olesen won the 2024 Ras Al Khaimah Championship with a four round cumulative score of 27 under par.
Ras Al Khaimah Championship Key Player Statistics

- Strokes Gained: Tee to Green
- Birdie or Better Percentage
- Strokes Gained: Par Fours

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!
Ras Al Khaimah Championship Draftkings Picks
Thorbjorn Olesen $10,800
Since the beginning of October, Thorbjorn Olesen has played seven events on the DP World Tour. In those seven tournaments just noted, Olesen accumulated an impressive four top seven finishes, including a fifth-place result at the 2024 Nedbank Challenge one month ago.
Thorbjorn Olesen certainly checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Let me be more specific. Olesen is currently ranked tenth in bogey avoidance (2.13), 16th in strokes gained off the tee (0.51), 15th in strokes gained approach (0.75), 20th in putting average and 20th in strokes gained tee to green (0.81) on the DP World Tour.
It is noteworthy that Olesen has posted a quality result at this week’s DP World Tour event previously. Olesen won the 2024 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Joost Luiten $7,700
Joost Luiten has compiled two top 27 finishes in his last three tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 24th-place result at the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Championship last month.
Jayden Trey Schaper $7,400
The talented South African arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two consecutive top 21 finishes on the DP World Tour, including a 13th place result at the 2025 Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open four weeks ago. Additionally, Jayden Trey Schaper finished 23rd at the 2024 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
In my opinion, Jayden Trey Schaper’s low Draftkings price of only $7,400 presents the best value of any golfer on this week’s slate. With that said, I fully expect the talented young South African to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2025 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Paul Waring $8,000
Paul Waring has tallied four top 24 finishes in his last five tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a win at the 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in November.
Julien Guerrier $9,000
Julien Guerrier has tallied two top 19 finishes in his last three events played on the DP World Tour, including a sixth-place result at the 2024 Nedbank Golf Challenge in November.
Similar to Thorbjorn Olesen, Julien Guerrier has posted a good result at this week’s DP World Tour event previously. Guerrier finished 13th at the 2022 Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
Additional golfers I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Guido Migliozzi $8,800: Patrick Reed $10,500: Connor Syme $7,200: Jason Scrivener $7,000: Ewen Ferguson $8,100.
