2024 Volvo China Open Draftkings Picks

Bernd Wiesberger $9,600

The talented Austrian has accumulated three top 24 finishes in his last four events played on the DP World Tour, including a 16th place result at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic last month.

Due to Bernd Wiesberger’s quality result at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to see how Wiesberger fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic, in relation to the field, Bernd Wiesberger ranked seventh in strokes gained approach (1.77), tenth in strokes gained tee to green (2.07), 12th in driving accuracy (80.4%), and fourth in GIR (greens in regulation-77.8%).

Bernd Wiesberger certainly checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. Wiesberger finished 14th at the 2019 Volvo China Open.

Alejandro Del Rey $8,600

Alejandro Del Ray has accumulated three top 24 finishes in his last four tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 16th place result at the 2024 Qatar Masters in February.

Sam Bairstow $8,500

Sam Bairstow has accumulated three top 15 finishes in his last four events played on the DP World Tour, including a third-place result at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic five weeks ago.

In my opinion, Sam Bairstow presents outstanding DFS value at a Draftkings price of $8,500.

Jacques Kruyswijk $7,800

Since the beginning of February, Jacques Kruyswijk has played eight tournaments (DP World and South African Tours combined). In those eight events just mentioned, Kruyswijk has accumulated six top 29 finishes, including a third-place result at the 2024 Limpopo Championship three weeks ago.

Additionally, Jacques Kruyswijk finished 11th at the 2019 Volvo China Open.

Additional golfers I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Jordan Smith $10,300: Alexander Levy $9,000: Manuel Elvira $7,700: Matthias Schwab $7,200: Francesco Laporta $7,000.
