This Saturday, Draftkings golf fans will be presented with the third round of the 2025 Sentry. Let’s take a look at the third round of this event from a DFS perspective.

Before I discuss my Draftkings player selections, let’s review where the third round of the 2025 Sentry will be played.


The third round of the 2025 Sentry will be played at the Plantation Course in Kapula, Hawaii. This golf course is a par 73 that measures approximately 7,956 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 that 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 DraftKings player selections for the third round of the 2025 Sentry.

2025 Sentry Draftkings Third Round Picks

Corey Conners $8,600

The talented Canadian arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of two consecutive top seven finishes (PGA and DP World Tours combined), including a sixth-place result at the 2024 Nedbank Challenge three weeks ago.

Due to Corey Conners quality finish at the 2024 Nedbank Challenge I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to see how Conners fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Nedbank Challenge, in relation to the field, Corey Conners ranked first in strokes gained tee to green (1.92), fourth in driving accuracy (67.86%), and second in bogey avoidance (9).

Additionally, Corey Conners finished 13th at the 2023 Sentry.

Adam Scott $8,400

Last month, Adam Scott fired a final round 68 at the 2024 DP World Championship en route to an eventual third place result. Scott also finished sixth at the 2014 Sentry.

Sepp Straka $7,000

Last month, Sepp Straka fired a second round 68 at the 2024 Hero World Challenge en route to a ninth place finish.

It is noteworthy that Straka has played well at this PGA Tour event previously. Straka finished 12th at the 2024 Sentry.

Upon the completion of today’s second round of the 2024 Sentry, Sepp Straka is currently in eighth place with a two round cumulative score of 12 under par.

Sungjae Im $9,600

Since the beginning of July, Sungjae Im has played nine tournaments on the PGA Tour. In those nine events just mentioned, Im has compiled six top 13 finishes, including an impressive seventh place result at the 2024 Open Championship in August.

In summary, I fully expect Sungjae Im to continue his outstanding play in tomorrow’s third round of the 2025 Sentry.

Cameron Young $7,800

Cameron Young has compiled four top 22 finishes in his last seven tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including an impressive sixth place result at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic in July.

Akshay Bhatia $9,000

The talented American arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two top four finishes (PGA and Japan Tours combined), including a second-place result at 2024 Dunlop Phoenix in November.

Akshay Bhatia finished 14th at the 2024 Sentry.

Additional golfers I like to perform well in Saturday’s third round. (Draftkings price noted): Hideki Matsuyama $9,400: Will Zalatoris $7,500: Tom Hoge $6,600: Byeong Hun An $8,500: Patton Kizzire $6,300.
