In summary, I fully expect J.J. Spaun to continue his outstanding play in Thursday’s first round of the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Additional golfers I like to perform well in the first round (Draftkings price noted): Ludvig Aberg $9,700: Jason Day $8,900: Sam Burns $9,000: Tom Hoge $7,500: Keegan Bradley $8,500: Patrick Cantlay $9,500.

• Strokes Gained: Approach
• GIR (greens in regulation)

Patrick Cantlay $9,400

Earlier this month, Patrick Cantlay fired a second round 64 at the 2025 Sentry en route to an eventual 15th place finish. Cantlay finished third at the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Jason Day $8,900

Jason Day has compiled three top 19 finishes in his last five tournaments played (PGA and DP World Tour events combined), including a third-place result at the 2025 American Express two weeks ago.

Day has posted quality results at this week’s event multiple times over the course of his professional career. Let me be more specific. Since 2015, Jason Day has played the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am nine times. In those nine tournaments just mentioned, Day accumulated a rather impressive eight top 11 finishes, including a second-place result at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

In summary, I fully expect Jason Day to continue his outstanding play at this week’s 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Nick Taylor $7,200

The talented Canadian arrives at this week’s event on the heels of two consecutive top 12 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a win at the 2025 Sony Open earlier this month.

Nick Taylor certainly checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Taylor is currently ranked 14th in strokes gained approach (1.547), 16th in overall scoring average (68), 13th in GIR (greens in regulation-79.17%) and 17th in driving accuracy (69.77%) on the PGA Tour.

Additionally, Nick Taylor won the 2020 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Before I discuss my Draftkings player selections for this week’s PGA Tour event let’s review where the second round of the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open will be played.

The 2025 Farmers Insurance Open will be played at Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. DFS players should be mindful of the fact that this event will be played on two different golf courses, the Torrey Pines North and South courses.

The entire field of 156 golfers will play both courses in the first two rounds of the tournament on Wednesday and Thursday. Upon completion of the second round of play on Thursday afternoon, a cut will take place. The remaining 65 players and ties will play the remainder of the golf tournament (third and fourth rounds) on the South course.

I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!

For those readers that are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single round showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

In those six tournaments just noted, Matsuyama compiled an impressive four top 30 finishes, including a ninth-place result at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open.
