Draftkings Best CJ Cup Byron Nelson Final Round Picks 5/5/24

This Sunday morning, Golf fans will be presented with the final round of the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Before I discuss my Draftkings player selections, let’s take a look at where the final round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson will be played.

The final round of the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson will be played at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. The Golf course is a par 71 that measures approximately 7,414 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 DraftKings player selections for the final round of the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Draftkings Picks

Alex Noren $10,300

Alex Noren arrives at this week’s event on the heels of five consecutive top 23 finishes on the PGA Tour, including an 11th place result at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open last month.

Noren also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. In relation to this week’s 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson field, in the last 24 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Alex Noren ranks first in GIR (greens in regulation), fifth in strokes gained tee to green, sixth in scrambling, and first in bogey avoidance.

Upon the completion of this afternoon’s third round at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Alex Noren is currently tied for fifth place with a score of 15 under par.

Since the beginning of January, Byeong Hun An has played 11 tournaments on the PGA Tour. In those 11 events just mentioned, An accumulated six top 21 finishes, including a second-place result at the 2024 Sony Open.

Additionally, Byeong Hun An finished 14th at the 2023 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

The talented young American has accumulated two top 17 finishes in his last four events played on the PGA Tour, including a 14th place result at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship two weeks ago.
