Every week, DraftKings Sportsbook offers a wide variety of ways to get in on the action as the PGA TOUR tees it up. In addition to picking the winner, the finishing position or individual scores for each player, there is also a variety of Tournament Trios offered in the matchup section of the tournament page. These “tournament 3-balls” are a nice balance between getting strong odds and a small enough matchup to break down and analyze. The tournament 3-balls match three players head-to-head for the entire tournament. Since there are three players in the mix, the odds are usually plus-odds for each option, and they can be a fun way to play head-to-head matchups. Check out my favorite 3-ball picks for the week analyzed below.
Last week for the second week in a row, I hit on two of my three picks, leaving me at 4-2 on the season. Keegan Bradley won his 3-ball outright, while Maverick McNealy finished in a dead heat and Robert MacIntyre made the cut but couldn’t get the win.
This week, the PGA TOUR is back stateside for The American Express. It’s an unusual event since it uses three courses and has a cut after three rounds instead of the typical two, but it’s still a fun week to get a piece of the action on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Si Woo Kim (+180)
I highlighted Kim as one of my top pivot plays on Wednesday, and I think he’s coming in a little under the radar for DFS contests. His excellent course history makes him my pick in this trio, as well, as he faces off with Wyndham Clark (+165) and Tom Kim (+175).
Clark is capable of winning any week and has made the cut in five of his six appearances at this event, but has only finished in the top 30 once in the last five years. His best golf is usually played in tough scoring conditions, so I don’t love the course fit for him.
Tom Kim teed it up last week for the first time in a while and made the cut at The Sony Open, finishing T65. He has missed the cut in two of his three visits to this event in the past but did finish T6 in his made cut two years ago. Like Clark, he’s capable of contending on any course on any given week, but I’m okay picking against him at this venue in his current form.
Si Woo Kim won this event in 2021 and has finished in the top 25 in each of the three years since then. He was in the mix last year after a 64-66-66 before fading with a 73 on Sunday.
Last week, Kim missed the cut at the Sony Open on the number. His stats say that everything was on point aside from his putter, so if he can flip the flat stick, he should be able to pull the upset in this tournament trio.
Harry Hall (+175)
Hall faces Max Greyserman (+165) and Eric Cole (+180) in this tournament trio. All three of these players come in hot with outstanding form over their last several events dating back to the second half of last year.
Greyserman finished T56 in his debut at La Quinta last season but finished with a great FedExCup Fall including back-to-back top-five finishes to round out 2024. He finished a solid T24 at The Sentry before taking last week off rather than playing The Sony Open. While his form is unquestionable, he doesn’t have enough history here to be my pick of the three.
The same could be said for Cole, who is getting plenty of fantasy buzz after finishing fifth last week at The Sony Open. He fired four rounds in the 60s at that event, although he never matched his opening round 64 and faded a little at the end. Cole has made the cut in both his trips to La Quinta and finished T21 last year. Getting him at +180 is not a bad play at all, but I prefer Hall.
The reason I like Hall more is that he has been playing so well since last July. He finished in the top 15 at the John Deere Classic before winning the ISCO Championship in Kentucky. Since then, he posted eight top 25s in 10 events including a T8 at The Sentry and a T10 at the Sony Open. Hall’s putter has been outstanding over his run of success and he finished second on the PGA TOUR in birdie average and sixth in par 5 scoring last year. He’ll need to pile up birdies and go low this week, but I think the UNLV alum will thrive in the desert and take the win in this trio.
Brian Harman (+180)
This is another fun Tournament Trio with Harman matched up against Cameron Young (+165) and Davis Thompson (+160). I went back and forth on this one a few times, but I landed on playing the veteran at the longest odds even though I do love the upside of both young players on the rise.
Cameron Young is one of the best young players on the PGA TOUR who is still in search of his first victory. When he gets it, no one will be surprised in the least given how close he has been on numerous occasions. He made the cut in both his trips to La Quinta, finishing T40 and T26 before sitting out last year’s event. Young is coming off a top-ten finish at The Sentry and is always a threat if he plays his best.
Thompson doesn’t have as many close calls as Young, but he does have a steller course history. Before breaking through for his first PGA TOUR victory at last summer’s John Deere Classic, Thompson burst onto the scene with a runner-up finish to Jon Rahm at this event back in 2023. He followed that up by finishing T21 in 2024. Thompson hasn’t shown great form yet in 2025, finishing T36 after a shaky start at The Sentry and missing the cut at The Sony Open last week.
Harman is definitely the grizzled vet of this group. Thompson has played 72 PGA TOUR events, Young 74, and Harman 369 events — more than double the other two combined. However, it’s not just pure experience that gives the 37-year-old lefty the nod for me this week, it’s his great history at this specific event. In his nine career appearances, Harman has notched seven top-25 finishes including four top-ten finishes. He didn’t play this event last year and missed the cut in 2023, but he finished T3 in 2022 and T8 in 2021.
Harman also comes into this event with good enough form to take him at the longest odds on the board. He struggled at The Sentry, which isn’t a great fit for his skill set, but he finished in the top 25 at the BMW Championship, The RSM Classic and The Sony Open in three of his last four starts.
This is one 3-Ball I’m especially excited to track since I could see it going any of the three ways, but ultimately I’m taking Harman’s course history and form to get the better of the more “boom or bust” youngsters.
