For the second year in a row, the Baycurrent Classic – formerly known as the ZOZO Championship – will be played at Yokohama Country Club (par 71, 7,322 yards, bentgrass greens) in Yokohama, Japan. Last year was the first time Yokohama hosted a PGA TOUR event and Xander Schauffele (-19) won by one stroke at the par 71. For this week, there will be 72 golfers competing and no cut.
Below, I’ll dive into two of my favorite DFS options on DraftKings for the Baycurrent Classic.

Top Golf DFS Picks for the 2026 Baycurrent Classic
Doug Ghim ($9,200)
Ghim is on fire right now and needs to be rostered in his Baycurrent Classic debut. In his last four starts, Ghim has finished T15th, T19th, T17th and runner-up. That near win came at last week’s Bank of Utah Championship and two late bogeys in the final round resulted in Ghim finishing runner-up to Austin Smotherman by two strokes. While this was a clear missed opportunity for Ghim to secure his first PGA TOUR win, he should be out for redemption this week and is a threat to contend again.
He has gained strokes in every major category in back-to-back starts, and he posted a 9-under 62 at the Black Desert Resort in the second round this past week, which tied for the lowest score of the Bank of Utah Championship. This comes after Ghim just closed the Biltmore Championship Asheville with another 9-under 62 in his second-to-last start.
Ghim impressively has shot a 68 or lower in 13 of his past 16 rounds, and his runner-up in Utah last week vaulted him up 53 spots in the world golf rankings. When we compare this field’s last 24 rounds, Ghim ranks first in total strokes gained.
Keegan Bradley ($8,000)
Bradley warranted a higher price tag in this field. The veteran has never competed at Yokohama before, but Bradley won the ZOZO Championship in 2022, and he finished runner-up at the CIMB Classic in 2017. Bradley has five career top-10 finishes in Asia, and he ranks seventh in this field in strokes gained per round at Asian courses.
Returning to Japan in the midst of another strong season, Bradley should finish high on the leaderboard at the Baycurrent Classic. The former major champion has made 16-of-20 cuts and carded six top-25 finishes this season. Bradley has cracked the top-15 in two of his last five starts, and for the season, he ranks top-35 in both SGT2G and total driving.
Bradley sports +3700 odds to win the Baycurrent Classic on DraftKings Sportsbook, which are great relative to his DFS salary. For some perspective, the $ 8,400-priced Rickie Fowler carries +4100 odds to win.
Nico Echavarria ($6,700)
Echavarria is a low risk, high reward option this week. The Columbian is coming off a missed cut at the Biltmore Championship Asheville, but Echavarria has a knack for bouncing back after missed cuts. For the last six times he has failed to make the cut, Echavarria has provided a top-12 finish in his next start on four occasions. Most notably, Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic in February after missing the cut at the Genesis Invitational in his previous start. Also, the 32-year-old just finished T12th at the Wyndham Championship in August after missing the cut at the Rocket Classic the week prior.
He has made nine of his last 11 cuts with three top-12 finishes during this run and returning to Japan is a perfect recipe for him to get back on track. Echavarria won the 2024 ZOZO Championship at Accordia Golf Narashino and then, he finished ninth at Yokohama for last year’s Baycurrent Classic.
Echavarria ranks third in this field in strokes gained per round at courses in Asia and him surpsing with a very high finish this week is in the realm of possibilities.
