I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

NW Arkansas Championship Draftkings Picks

Lauren Coughlin $10,000

Since the beginning of June, Lauren Coughlin has played eight tournaments on the LPGA Tour. In those ten events just mentioned, Coughlin compiled an impressive six top ten finishes, including two wins (2024 CPKC Women’s Open: 2024 AIG Women’s Open).

Coughlin has played well at the Pinnacle Country Club in the past. More specifically, Coughlin finished 21st at the 2022 NW Arkansas Championship.

Jin Hee Im $9,300

Jin Hee Im arrives at this week’s 2024 NW Arkansas Championship on the heels of five consecutive top 30 finishes on the LPGA Tour, including a tenth-place finish at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open last month.

Ashleigh Buhai $8,400

Ashleigh Buhai has accumulated two top 22 finishes in her last three tournaments played on the LPGA Tour, including a 14th place result at last week’s 2024 Queen City Championship.

In addition to her recent quality play on the LPGA Tour, Ashleigh Buhai finished 13th at the 2024 Women’s Olympic Golf tournament in Paris, France last month.

Kristen Gillman $7,000

Last week, Kristen Gillman fired a second round 68 at the 2024 Queen City Championship en route to an eventual ninth place finish.

Due to Kristen Gillman’s quality finish at the Queen City Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Gillman fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Queen City Championship, in relation to the field, Kristen Gillman ranked first in driving accuracy (91.1%), third in strokes gained off the tee (1.093), seventh in strokes gained around the green (0.858), and 12th in strokes gained tee to green (1.997). What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Gillman is playing at a high-level entering this week’s LPGA Tour event.

Additional Golfers I like to play well this week (Draftkings price noted): Mao Saigo $9,200: Hae Ran Ryu $10,500: Marina Alex $7,300: Georgia Hall $7,700.
