The PGA TOUR is taking on TPC Sawgrass this week, and if you think your fantasy golf lineup can be “better than most” this week, DraftKings has plenty of great cash games and double-up contests on the board. While the tournament typically has volatile results because of the course, some solid plays are available at a variety of price points that make sense for the more conservative lineups designed for this format. My three top fantasy golf cash plays this week are Ludvig Aberg ($8,700), Akshay Bhatia ($7,700), and Min Woo Lee ($7,500).
Make sure to also check out my top-three pivot plays for tournament lineups at Bay Hill if you’re looking for some less popular, under-the-radar picks. Pivot plays for tournament lineups are usually more aggressive, while fantasy golf cash game picks are safer with higher floors and lower risk. The picks in this post generally have higher ownership than my pivot plays, but they are good selections for contests where the uniqueness of your lineup is less important. Think of cash game picks as lying back and playing a par 5 as it was designed, taking three shots before reaching the green, searching for a solid birdie. Tournament picks are like going driver off the deck to try to reach the green in two — more reward if it works, but much more risk as well.
These fantasy golf cash game picks are best used in “cash games,” which are contests that pay out to about the top half of entries. Typically, they are in the 50/50s & Double Ups or Head-to-Head sections of the DraftKings lobby.

Ludvig Aberg ($8,700)
Aberg seems to be over his early-season illness and has been back in top form for his last two Signature Events, posting a T20 at The Genesis Invitational and a T3 at Bay Hill last week. Aberg has gained strokes across the board in those two events and finished Sunday with an impressive five-under 67.
The 26-year-old Swede has tons of talent, and when he puts his best game together can stand out even in this elite field. Last week, he led the field in proximity to the hole and par-3 scoring, and he ranks in the top 10 in Total Strokes Gained and Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green over the last 12 rounds.
His iron game has been excellent, and that can definitely be a recipe for consistent success anywhere, especially at TPC Sawgrass. Aberg missed the cut last year, but he finished T8 in his tournament debut in 2024.
With trending form and a great course fit, Aberg is a great play under $9,000, whether you use him as a keystone for your balanced lineup or partner him with another star player and then hit the value plays. He has been a little volatile for cash games in the past, but his floor seems very high with how well he has been playing in his last few tournaments.
Akshay Bhatia ($7,700)
Bhatia started the season slowly with a pair of missed cuts, but he has been outstanding over the last four weeks, with three top-10 finishes. He started that run with a T3 at TPC Scottsdale, added a T6 at Pebble Beach, where he nearly won, and then completed his rise to the top with a win last week at Bay Hill.
He stormed back and defeated Daniel Berger ($7,100), who will also be a strong play this week. Bhatia knocked in four straight birdies from hole 10 through 13, and tacked on an eagle on hole No. 16 to help force a playoff, which he won on the first hole.
While TPC Sawgrass is different than Bay Hill, the two courses do have some similarities. Bhatia will look to carry over his sizzling recent form and follow-up his T3 at this track last year after missing the cut in his tournament debut in 2024.
Bhatia leads this entire elite field in Total Strokes Gained over the last 16 rounds, and has shown great balance to his game across all the clubs in his bag. He ranks in the top 10 in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green, and Strokes Gained: Approach over the last 12 rounds, and he seems to have his game in a great spot to take on TPC Sawgrass.
I have Bhatia as a top-20 in my SGP for this week, and he’s a great fantasy play as well. He’ll probably be chalky with a high ownership percentage, but for cash games, differentiating your lineup with low ownership isn’t quite as important. At only $7,700, Bhatia brings incredible upside and a relatively high floor as well.
Min Woo Lee ($7,500)
Lee is another value play who makes lots of sense to include in your fantasy golf cash plays. The 27-year-old from Perth is known for his aggressive style, and that seems to be a good fit for the risk/reward setup at TPC Sawgrass. He has played two years at this event, finishing T6 in 2023 and T20 last year.
He returns to Sawgrass with great form this year after getting his breakthrough win last year on the PGA TOUR at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. He started this ramp-up to 2026 with a big fall, posting a T10 at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan and three top-15 finishes on the DP World Tour, highlighted by a T5 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship. He carried that momentum from his home country into 2026 and has made the cut in each of his five events this season and posted three straight top-12 finishes in the three Signature Events in the last four weeks.
He finished second to Collin Morikawa at Pebble Beach, and tacked on a T6 last week behind Bhatia at Bay Hill. He finished fifth in Strokes Gained: Approach and T3 in birdies made last week at the Palmer, which are both good indicators of success for Sawgrass. Over his last 16 rounds, Lee ranks fourth in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and third in Total Strokes Gained.
All three of the young players in this post have been playing great with their irons, which should set them up as good fantasy golf cash plays this week.
