Geoff Ulrich:
I think that when you’re looking at it from a DraftKings perspective, you’ve got to love the consistency that Justin Thomas has been bringing. $10.7K, a big discount off of Scottie Scheffler as well. And again, you saw last week, Scheffler has been bagging the wins, but there’s really not much between these two, and just in terms of overall performance, what they’re doing. And you look at the PGA Championship, what do you need? You absolutely have to be striking the ball well. Even just the last few champions, when they’ve come in—Justin Thomas in ‘17, Brooks in ‘18 and ‘19—what were they doing well coming in? They were hitting their approaches really well. They were just striking the ball well. They’re gaining strokes, massive strokes on approach, some of them off the tee, that’s what Justin Thomas has been doing for a while now. So I think at $10.7K, I look at him as the best value up there. You know, Morikawa definitely could pop up again, I don’t really love Rory on these fast, firm courses that much. I think Justin Thomas at $10.7K is where you go.
Geoff’s Pick: Justin Thomas ($10,700)
