Draftkings Best Olympic Women’s Golf DFS Picks 8/7/24

This week, Draftkings presents golf fans with a contest that is only available to play every four years, the 2024 Olympic Women’s Golf tournament.

Before I dive into my DFS player selections for the 2024 Olympic Women’s Golf competition let’s review the golf course 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 2024 Paris Olympic Golf event.

Where will the 2024 Olympic Women’s Golf event be played?

The 2024 Olympic Women’s Golf event will be played at the Le Golf National (Albatross Course) in Paris, France. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 6,374 yards.

Le Golf National hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup. Europe won the 2018 Ryder Cup defeating the United States.

Will the Olympic Women’s Golf event have a traditional cut after two rounds?

The 2024 Paris Olympic Golf event will have a field of 60 comPetitors to start the tournament on Thursday. This event will not have a traditional cut meaning all 60 Golfers will play all four rounds.

2024 Women’s Olympic Golf Key Player Statistics

• Strokes Gained: Tee to Green
• Bogey Avoidance
• Driving Distance
• GIR (greens in regulation)
• Strokes Gained: Around the Green
• Birdie of Better Percentage

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!

*It should be noted that this event begins on Wednesday and ends on Saturday. Make sure to have your lineups set prior to start of the first round.

Olympic Women’s Golf Draftkings DFS Picks

Brooke Henderson $9,800

The talented Canadian arrives at this week’s Olympic event on the heels of four consecutive top 26 finishes on the LPGA Tour, including an eighth-place result at the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open.

Brooke Henderson also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Henderson is currently ranked sixth in GIR (greens in regulation-72.41%), seventh in total birdies made (217), ninth in overall scoring average (70.58), and fifth in total rounds under par (34) on the LPGA Tour.

Rose Zhang $9,500

Two weeks ago, Rose Zhang fired a third round 66 at the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open en route to an eventual sixth place finish.

Due to Rose Zhang’s impressive sixth-place finish at the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Zhang fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open, in relation to the field, Rose Zhang ranked fourth in GIR (greens in regulation-76.4%), second in strokes gained approach (2.79), and fifth in strokes gained tee to green (3.16).

Ashleigh Buhai $7,400

The talented South African has accumulated three top 21 finishes in her last seven tournaments played on the LPGA Tour, including a 12th place finish at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic in June.

Buhai has played well in France throughout the course of her professional golf career. An illustration of her ability to play well in France can be seen in Ashleigh Buhai’s 15th place result at the 2022 Amundi Evian Championship.

Additional Golfers I like to play well at this week’s event (Draftkings price noted): Linn Grant $9,900: Hannah Green $9,200: Hyo Joo Kim $9,300: Georgia Hall $8,200: Lydia Ko $8,500.
