2024 Sanderson Farms Championship Draftkings Picks

J.J. Spaun $9,900

J.J. Spaun arrives at this week’s PGA Tour event on the heels of three consecutive top 26 finishes, including an impressive third place result at the 2024 Wyndham Championship last month.

In relation to this week’s 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship field, in the last eight rounds played on the PGA Tour, J.J. Spaun ranks 16th in birdie or better percentage, first in strokes gained around the green, third in strokes gained tee to green, eighth in bogey avoidance, and ninth in total Draftkings points scored.

Patrick Fishburn $9,400

The talented American has tallied three top six finishes in his last four events played on the PGA Tour, including a third-place finish at the 2024 Procore Championship two weeks ago.

Henrik Norlander $7,500

Henrik Norlander has accumulated four top 25 finishes in his last seven tournaments played (PGA and DP World Tour combined), including an eighth-place result at the 2024 Omega European Masters three weeks ago.

Due to Norlander’s recent quality finish at the Omega European Masters, I decided to take a hard look at the player statistics for the tournament to see how Norlander fared relative to the field.

Upon completion of four rounds of comPetitive Golf at the 2024 Omega European Masters, Henrik Norlander ranked second in driving accuracy (71.3%), first in strokes gained tee to green (3.547), fifth in strokes gained approach (1.174), and 11th in strokes gained around the green (0.949).

Henrik Norlander also checks the box for me when it comes to previous event/course history. Since 2020, Norlander has played this week’s PGA Tour event four times. In those four tournaments just noted, Norlander has compiled four top 24 finishes, including a second-place result at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship

In my opinion, Henrik Norlander’s low Draftkings price of only $7,500 presents the best fantasy value of any golfer on this week’s slate.

Additional Golfers I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Ben Griffin $9,500: Garrick Higgo $6,800: Stephan Jaeger $9,000: David Lipsky $6,500.
