Top DFS Fantasy Golf Picks for The Memorial

The PGA TOUR heads to the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club, one of the toughest and most demanding stops on the schedule. Hosted by Jack Nicklaus, the Signature Event features an elite field and a cut, putting even more pressure on players to perform.

Muirfield rewards precision over power, with difficult par 3s, long par 4s, small greens and a premium on approach play, scrambling and bogey avoidance. With stars like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy leading the field, these are the top DFS fantasy golf picks for The Memorial.

This article reveals my favorite target at each price level on DraftKings. DraftKings does not sponsor this content.

Ludvig Aberg ($10,100)

Aberg feels like the guy built in a golf laboratory specifically for a place like Muirfield Village. He bombs it off the tee, stripes irons for fun and rarely seems bothered when courses start fighting back. That's a pretty useful skill at one of the toughest tests on the PGA TOUR. Aberg continues to pile up high finishes with one of the steadiest tee-to-green games in the world, and his birdie-making ability gives him massive DFS upside. If you're looking for a lineup anchor, the tall Swede checks just about every box this week.

Si Woo Kim ($9,400)

Kim and Muirfield Village have become one of those relationships that just keeps working. He has finished T15 or better in four of the last five years at the Memorial and seems to know every bump, slope and tricky green complex on the property. Even better, Kim arrives playing some of the best golf of his career, already piling up seven top-10s this season. His iron play has been razor sharp, and that's a huge deal at a course that demands precision. When Si Woo shows up at Muirfield, the leaderboard usually isn't far behind.

Rickie Fowler ($8,500)

Fowler and Muirfield Village have a habit of finding each other when things need fixing. The recent results have cooled off a bit, but this place has long been one of Rickie's favorite stops, with five career Top 10 finishes and another strong showing last year. Even when the form gets a little shaky, he tends to figure things out here. The irons have still been trending in the right direction, and at this DFS salary, Fowler feels like the classic bounce-back candidate who suddenly reminds everyone why he's been a fan favorite for so long.

Alex Smalley ($8,000)

Smalley has quietly turned into the golfer nobody wants to see lurking near the top of the leaderboard anymore. The recent run has been ridiculous, with three podium finishes in his last seven starts and nothing worse than a T21. He followed a runner-up finish at the PGA Championship with another strong week at Colonial, proving the form is very real. Smalley's iron play fits Muirfield Village perfectly, and at this DFS price, he feels like the sneaky lineup piece that makes everything else work.

Wyndham Clark ($7,300)

Clark is the DFS play equivalent of strapping yourself into a roller coaster and hoping the safety bar works. The ceiling is enormous, especially after his recent win at TPC Craig Ranch, where the putter finally woke up and started draining everything in sight. Clark's combination of power and aggression can turn even a difficult course into a birdie hunt when he gets rolling. Muirfield Village won't be easy, but if the putter stays hot and the driver behaves, Clark has the kind of upside that can win DFS tournaments all by himself.

Bud Cauley ($6,500)

Cauley is one of the best feel-good stories on TOUR right now. After earning his way into the Memorial field with a top-50 finish in last year's FedExCup standings, he returns to Muirfield Village carrying plenty of momentum and a little redemption narrative, too. The iron play has been excellent, and that matters at a course where precision is everything. Cauley has a solo seventh as his high-water mark since THE PLAYERS and finished no worse than T38 since the Valspar Championship in mid-March. At this DFS salary, he's the kind of value play who can make a lineup look very smart by Sunday afternoon.
