The PGA TOUR is headed North of the Border this week for the RBC Canadian Open. For the second straight season, the event will be held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North Course, where Ryan Fox defeated Sam Burns in a playoff last season. With the U.S. Open just around the corner, DraftKings has a wide variety of contests and formats available to get you set for another major. If you’re teeing it up with some conservative lineups designed for cash games, my three top fantasy golf cash plays to consider are Wyndham Clark ($9,700), Kristoffer Reitan ($8,800), and Bud Cauley ($7,800).
Make sure to also check out my top-three pivot plays for tournament lineups for the Memorial Tournament, 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.

Wyndham Clark ($9,700)
Wyndham Clark comes into this event on a heater, and he only has the fifth-highest salary, making him easier to build balance around for cash game lineups. Clark has a history of being a little volatile, but his putter and his iron play have been excellent recently, giving him a very high ceiling.
Last year, Clark played this event and made the cut to finish T59, but he comes back with much better form this season. He won THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch three weeks ago, in a very low-scoring event that could be similar to what we see this week.
He took a week off and returned to post an impressive third-place finish at the Memorial last week. In his win at TPC Craig Ranch, his putter did most of the heavy lifting, but last week in Muirfield Village, he gained over 2.6 strokes per round on approach, leading the field in that metric. He surged with a 68-67 on the weekend and finished just one stroke out of the playoff between J.T. Poston and Ryan Gerard.
Coming back to Canada, Clark has five top-25 finishes in his last six events, with his only letdown a missed cut at the PGA Championship. Over the last 30 days, he has led the field in Total Strokes Gained, Strokes Gained: Approach, and Strokes Gained: Putting, which gives him all the tools to be right in contention again this week.
Kristoffer Reitan ($8,800)
So far this season, Kristoffer Reitan has made a very strong impression on the PGA TOUR, and he has great form coming to Canada.
The 28-year-old from Norway won twice on the DP World Tour in 2025, claiming his first win at the Soudal Open and his second at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in honor of Gary Player. He qualified for the PGA TOUR as a result of his strong season and broke through for his first PGA TOUR at the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow in a Signature Event.
Reitan made the cut at the PGA Championship the following week, finishing T44 before taking a few weeks off. He returned at another Signature Event last week at the Memorial, finishing T6 after a sizzling 65 on Sunday. That bogey-free Final Round matched the low round of the day and could help him hit this week with plenty of momentum.
Over the last 30 days, Reitan has led the entire field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and is second in Strokes Gained: Approach and Total Strokes Gained. He has elite form, and his game fits the layout of the course, making him a reliable option this week from under $9K.
Bud Cauley ($7,800)
As far as value plays go, Cauley makes sense under $8,000 based on his steady form and good upside. He didn’t play last year at this event, but he’s rounding into strong form as he continues his impressive comeback after a serious car accident.
Cauley has made the cut in each of his last nine tournaments with five top-26 finishes during that stretch. He finished T26 at the PGA Championship after a disappointing Sunday, but bounced back after sitting out the two weeks in Texas, with a T22 at Muirfield Village Golf Club last week. In each of those events, Cauley gained strokes in all major categories.
The veteran ranks in the top 15 in the field in Strokes Gained: Approach and Total Strokes Gained over the last three months. He also ranks in the top 10 in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, so he has the overall game to climb the leaderboard again this week.
While he hasn’t been in the lead very often over the last few years, he has been a steady cutmaker with enough upside to consider for your fantasy golf cash plays this week in Toronto.
