Still time to win $1 million drafting a Fantasy Golf Team
To mark the start of the Masters next week DraftKings have organised a $3.5 million Fantasy Golf tournament with seven figures to the winner.
Poker, sports betting and golf have always been closely linked (especially in Las Vegas) so we thought you would love this new Daily Fantasy Sports tournament from DraftKings.
It costs $33 to enter and has payouts just like a poker tournament, with $1 million going to the winner and thousands of players making the money.
You are given a fictional $50,000 salary budget to pick your team of six golfers and are awarded points for how they perform in the Masters next month. You get points for everything from finishing positions, Eagles, hole in ones, streaks and more.
Spend wisely
The temptation for newbies is to just pick the most famous golfers they know like Jordan Speith and Rory McIroy, but they have high wages meaning you have very little budget for the rest of your team. The skill comes in knowing who some of the best golfers who are flying under the radar are as well as knowing who is in form.
PokerStrategy.com editor Barry Carter picked the following team with the help of former professional golfer Jared Tendler. He assures us it is a good mix of cheaper guys who are likely to still figure in the event towards the end of the tournament, with Phil Mickleson thrown in as a fun wildcard.
