King of the Course Pick for the major at Augusta

My pick for this week’s DraftKings King of the Course is Ludvig Aberg. Aberg is playing his best golf at the perfect time, heading into the first major of the year. He has three consecutive top-five finishes coming into this weekend’s marquee tournament. Aberg has an incredibly high ceiling and could be one of the best players in golf. However, he can be very streaky. That is why this is the time to bet on Aberg, while his game is sharp. It also makes him a great pick for King of the Course. Aberg can get hot and roll in a few birdies in a row and even add a couple of eagles to the scorecard.

Ludvig Aberg also has a phenomenal record at Augusta. He was the runner-up at his first-ever trip to the tournament, something that’s incredibly hard to do. He followed it up with a seventh-place finish last year. Aberg’s game is a perfect fit for the course: long off the tee and sharp with his long irons. He can take advantage of the par-5s and even birdie the par-4s more frequently than others. Aberg ranks sixth on the PGA TOUR in birdie or better percentage. Between his recent form, his career record at the tournament and his ability to make birdies and eagles in bunches, Aberg is the ideal pick for this weekend’s DraftKings King of the Course.
