How the golf lineup optimizer works

The optimizer maximizes projected DraftKings fantasy points under the $50,000 cap and the 6-golfer Classic roster. Golf has no positions — the edge comes from the inputs: DataGolf's projected points, projection volatility, projected ownership, and win / top-10 / top-20 / make-cut probabilities, refreshed daily through tournament week. Two ways to use it:

Build your own — tap golfers into your six slots, watch the salary cap fill, then hit Fill the rest optimally to complete the lineup around your core.
Auto-generate — choose Cash or Tournament, set how many lineups and your max exposure, and generate a diverse set in one click.

Cash builds tilt toward the floor — golfers likely to make the cut — while Tournament builds chase ceiling and fade the chalk, trading a sliver of raw projection for a lineup the field isn't on. The make-cut column is the number to respect: a missed cut stops scoring at 36 holes.

Golf DFS optimizer — FAQ

How does DraftKings golf scoring work?

DraftKings PGA Classic rosters are 6 golfers under a $50,000 salary cap, scored across all four rounds: birdies +3, eagles +8, pars +0.5, bogeys −0.5, double bogey or worse −1, plus streak and bogey-free bonuses and finishing-position points (30 for the win down to 1 for 41st–50th). Because a birdie and a bogey (+2.5) beat two pars (+1), DraftKings rewards aggressive birdie-makers over steady par golfers.

Why does making the cut matter so much in golf DFS?

A golfer who misses the 36-hole cut stops scoring — no round 3, no round 4, and no finishing-position points. That makes make-cut probability the floor stat of golf DFS: cash-game lineups are built to get all six golfers through the weekend, while tournament lineups can trade some cut safety for win equity. Our pool shows each golfer's make-cut probability from DataGolf's model.

What projections does this optimizer use?

The pool is powered by DataGolf — the sharpest public golf model — including projected DraftKings points, projected ownership, projection volatility, and win / top-10 / top-20 / make-cut probabilities, snapshotted daily. The same DataGolf numbers drive our golf betting value board.

What is a tee-time wave and why would I stack one?

The field tees off in two waves (morning and afternoon), and the waves flip between rounds one and two. Weather doesn't split evenly — one wave often draws calmer wind — so rostering several golfers from the favored wave is golf's version of stacking. The optimizer lets you filter the pool to either round-1 wave.

Can I export lineups to DraftKings?

Yes. Every lineup exports to a DraftKings-format CSV using DraftKings' own player IDs, ready for bulk upload to your contest entries — from the manual builder or the auto-generate tab.

Lineups maximize projected DraftKings points under the salary cap and roster rules. Projections are a research signal — not betting advice. 21+, play responsibly (1-800-GAMBLER).
