PGA DFS, PGA Championship 2021: Best DraftKings, FanDuel daily fantasy golf picks, advice, strategy

Ever since winning the 2017 U.S. Open, Jordan Spieth has been chasing after the career grand slam by claiming the PGA Championship. He's had four chances, but came up short each time heading into Thursday's 2021 PGA Championship. If Spieth can become the sixth golfer of the modern era to achieve the career Grand Slam, he will have to navigate a star-studded 2021 PGA Championship field that also includes Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau. All of those golfers would make for formidable PGA DFS picks as the top players in the world head to Kiawah Island for the PGA Championship 2021.

It will cost you $10,100 on DraftKings and $11,400 on FanDuel to slot Spieth into your PGA DFS lineups. He returned to winning form just last month, so Spieth could be a wise investment as part of your 2021 PGA Championship DFS strategy, but are there other golfers out there who could give you even more bang for your buck? Before you enter any PGA DFS tournaments or cash games for the 2021 PGA Championship, you'll want to see the top PGA DFS picks and daily fantasy golf advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure.

McClure is a DFS pro with nearly $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA Tour picks this season. McClure is also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every tournament 10,000 times, taking factors like statistical trends, past results and current form into account. This allows him to find the best PGA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any PGA DFS player.

Two weeks ago at the Wells Fargo Championship, McClure included Viktor Hovland as one of his top PGA DFS picks. The result: Hovland secured a third-place finish, returning over 95 points on FanDuel. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on the way to a profitable weekend.

In addition, McClure's model is up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament. This is the same model that has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now, McClure has set his sights on the PGA Championship 2021 and revealed his optimal PGA DFS advice, strategy and player pool. Head to SportsLine now to see his top daily Fantasy golf picks for the 2021 PGA Championship.

One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the PGA Championship 2021 is Viktor Hovland at $9,300 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel. Hovland is coming off back-to-back third-place finishes and is the 11th ranked player in the world. He also has another pair of runner-up finishes this year as been one of the most consistent golfers on tour.

No golfer has posted lower scores than the Norwegian, whose 69.730 scoring average ranks first on the PGA Tour. A major part of that is his 4.67 birdies per round, which rank second and have routinely propelled him to the top of leaderboards. He's someone to have on your radar for 2021 PGA Championship DFS lineups.

McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Daniel Berger at $8,700 on DraftKings and $10,300 on FanDuel. Berger is coming off a third-place tie last week and has five top-10 finishes over his last 10 tournaments. He claimed his fourth PGA event in February, when he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by converting four eagles, including one on the 72nd hole.

When Berger gets on a roll, few are better than the Florida State product. He had a 26-round streak of par or better earlier this year, which is the longest on tour, while his 167-hole streak without a three-putt is currently the second-longest. Over one-quarter of all his holes have resulted in either birdies or eagles, and his 4.65 birdie average ranks third on the PGA Tour. Berger ranks 10th in greens in regulation percentage (70.95) and 10th in total strokes gained (1.521), making him one of the top players to target as part of your PGA DFS strategy.

McClure is also targeting an undervalued player who's primed to play extremely well this week, giving you a huge return on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. Picks like these could be the difference between winning your PGA DFS contests or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.

So what are the top PGA DFS picks for the 2021 PGA Championship? And which undervalued golfer is a must-roster? Visit SportsLine now to see the complete player pool for FanDuel and DraftKings, all from the expert who's made nearly $2 million in daily fantasy sports, and find out.
