With golf in full swing (pun intended), now is the time to take advantage of all the new PGA tools offered on RotoGrinders.

Below is a summary of what’s available right now, as well as what’s to come for PGA DFS.

DraftKings PGA Premium Package

In the Premium section on RotoGrinders, you can now subscribe to the DraftKings PGA Premium Incentives package. This Incentives package will provide you with the tools, stats, and expert picks you need to build better lineups.

This year, we’ve added several new features to help you gain an edge on your competition. Your incentives package will include the following:

NEW: Projected Ownership

Trae Schwabe will release ownership projections for every golfer in the field and highlight some of the standout numbers. Finding a lower-owned golfer that performs well could help you soar to the top of the leaderboards.

NEW: Expert Survey

Five of the top PGA DFS minds in the industry answer a handful of relevant questions to give you context into their mindsets for the upcoming tournament.

Each week during the PGA Tour season, the Tour Junkies will offer their premium package in the Daily Marketplace. Data in this package will be exclusive to RotoGrinders and not found on their podcast. Here, you will get inside information from more than 15 years in PGA Tour Caddie experience to help you identify trends other sources won’t have. The package will dive deeper into their favorite plays, fades, and bounceback candidates. A PGA Chat Room is also included and the guys typically post a video before lineup lock reporting on conditions and player news.

The Tour Junkies are made up of David Barnett and Pat Perry. They currently host the Tour Junkies Podcast on a weekly basis. Their unique relationships with PGA Tour players and caddies gives them an advantage when breaking down course layouts, stats, and the best DFS value plays.

Coming This Spring: FanDuel Golf

Earlier this year, FanDuel announced it will be adding fantasy golf to its DFS offerings this spring in time for the Masters.

FanDuel’s golf offering will require you to select a new group of golfers for rounds 3 and 4 of the tournament. This difference will allow for more strategy and differs from what is offered on DraftKings, where players select one group of golfers for all rounds of the tournament.

FanDuel’s golf product will start in a private, invite-only beta. FanDuel is also running a cross-sport Tee-Off Classic promotion contest from January 22 through March 23 with a $2 entry fee for NFL, NBA, and Golf (once launched). The top 100 qualifiers will battle for the grand prize of a trip for three to play a round of golf with former Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Jerome Bettis. Golf will then come out of beta and go live in time for The Masters in April.

PGA Premium incentives will be available for FanDuel on RotoGrinders when the product is officially live.

FantasyDraft PGA Potential Changes

FantasyDraft announced in the RotoGrinders forum that it is considering making changes to its roster construction and scoring. FantasyDraft is looking for feedback on whether the format should be changed to a draft 7 with top 6 scores counting, over the current format of 6 golfers.

Head on over to the forum thread here to learn more and provide your feedback. Anyone who provides feedback in time will get entry into their upcoming PGA freeroll for a chance at FantasyDraft swag.
