DraftKings preview: Black Desert Championship

The inaugural Black Desert Championship at the Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, promises excitement on a new 7,371-yard, par-71 course with Bentgrass greens. The DraftKings fantasy golf lineup for the week offers several compelling options based on recent performance and course fit. Here's a breakdown of three standout picks for this event:

Seamus Power ($10,300)

Power has been in stellar form, coming off a T11 finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship, marking his second top-11 in the last three starts. He's made seven straight cuts on the PGA TOUR, along with several top-20 finishes. Power’s skill set is perfectly suited for Black Desert Resort, especially given his strong stats in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and performance on courses similar to this one, such as TPC Craig Ranch and TPC Twin Cities. His ability to perform well in low-scoring events makes him a top-tier pick this week.

Daniel Berger ($7,700)

Berger’s resurgence is one of the big stories heading into the Black Desert Championship. After battling a back injury that kept him sidelined for over a year, Berger looked back to form with a solo seventh finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship. His ability to gain strokes in both ball-striking and putting last week indicates that he's fully recovered. At $7,700, Berger is a bargain, especially considering his history of success on similar courses and his impressive ball-striking numbers.

Bud Cauley ($7,400)

Cauley is another player who has battled injuries but is showing signs of a comeback. His T5 finish last week at Sanderson Farms, backed by strong strokes gained from tee-to-green and putting, indicates that he's finding his pre-injury form. With a history of top-10 finishes and his recent improvement, Cauley represents great value at $7,400 in this field.

These picks offer a mix of consistency, recent form, and upside for players building their DraftKings fantasy lineups this week at the Black Desert Championship.
