The Thursday 11/12 main slate is a single golf event on DraftKings, with the usual $50,000 salary cap. Lineups lock at 8:00 a.m. ET (5:00 a.m. PT).
Our model's top-ranked plays start at the high end of the pricing. Blades Brown is $9,900 with a ceiling of 147.8, the highest on our board, and a DraftKings average of 87.6. Doug Ghim is $9,800 with a ceiling of 131.6 and an average of 76.7. Ben Kohles, at $9,200, carries a 124.7 ceiling and a 77.3 average. Jackson Koivun costs the most of the group at $10,400 and shows a 114.9 ceiling against an 83.3 average, which makes his price harder to justify than the others.
Value is where the sheet gets interesting. Zachary Bauchou is $8,800 with a 113.9 ceiling and a 69.4 average, a cheaper way into the top tier. Chris Kirk at $9,400 (112.6 ceiling) and Jordan L. Smith at $9,500 (116.1 ceiling) sit in the same range. Andrew Novak, at $9,600, has a 106.5 ceiling and a 61.6 average, the lowest of our top plays. Note that Benjamin James, Michael Kim, Beau Hossler and Tom Hoge all carry an OUT tag on DraftKings.
We don't have ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd is likely to land.
Our model's top lineup totals $49,600 of the $50,000 cap. It pairs two of the top-ranked names, Ben Kohles at $9,200 and Blades Brown at $9,900, with four mid-priced golfers: Alvaro Ortiz at $7,300, Trace Crowe at $7,700, Stephan Jaeger at $7,900 and Sudarshan Yellamaraju at $7,600.
