This week, the DP World Tour presents golf fans with the 2024 Open de España. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a Draftkings perspective.

Before I dive into my Draftkings player selections for this tournament 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 Open de España.

Where will the Open de España be played?

The 2024 Open de España will be played at the Club de Campo Villa in Madrid, Spain. This track is a par 71 that measures approximately 7,154 yards.

Matthieu Pavon won the 2023 Open de España with a cumulative four round score of 23 under par.

The 2024 Open de España will have a field of 144 comPetitors to start the tournament on Thursday. This event will have a cut after the completion of the first two rounds. The top 65 Golfers and ties will make the cut.

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!

2024 Open de España Draftkings Picks

Tommy Fleetwood $10,600

Tommy Fleetwood arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of four consecutive top 22 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a fifth-place result at the 2024 BMW Championship last month.

In addition to his outstanding play on the PGA Tour, Tommy Fleetwood secured a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Golf seven weeks ago. I think it is fair to say that Fleetwood is arriving at this week’s 2024 Open de Espana in rather good form.

I fully expect Tommy Fleetwood to continue his outstanding play in Marid this week.

Paul Waring $7,900

Paul Waring arrives at this week’s tournament in rather good form. Waring has accumulated four top 25 finishes in his last six tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a 12th place result at the 2024 Irish Open two weeks ago.

It is noteworthy that Paul Waring is playing some quality golf from a statistical perspective. Paul Waring is currently ranked 11th in bogey avoidance (2.47), seventh in par four scoring average (3.98), 20th in strokes gained approach (0.55), and tenth in total birdies made per round (4.27) on the DP World Tour.

Additionally, Paul Waring finished 20th at the 2023 Open de España.

Daniel Hillier $7,700

Last week, Daniel Hillier fired a final round 68 at the 2024 BMW PGA Championship en route to an eventual 18th place finish.

Due to Daniel Hillier’s quality finish at the 2024 BMW PGA Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Hillier fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of comPetitive play at the 2024 BMW PGA Championship, in relation to the field, Daniel Hillier ranked tenth in strokes gained approach (1.050), second in GIR (greens in regulation-79.2%), 16th in scrambling (73.3%) and 18th in driving distance (301.8).

Similar to Paul Waring, Daniel Hillier has posted a quality result at this week’s DP World Tour event in the past. More specifically, Hillier finished ninth at the 2023 Open de España.

Additional golfers I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Aaron Rai $9,500: Patrick Reed $9,600: Tyrrell Hatton $10,800: Adrian Otaegui $8,700: Alejandro Del Ray $8,000: Angel Hidalgo $7,000.
