Top DFS Fantasy Golf Picks for The Masters

Matthew Fitzpatrick ($8,700)

Fitzpatrick comes into the Masters in peak form, following a runner-up at THE PLAYERS and a win at the Valspar Championship. His ball striking has been elite across the board, and he’s consistently gained strokes in every key category. Fitzpatrick also has posted top-25 finishes in three of the last four Masters, showing he’s comfortable at Augusta. With form and course history aligned, he’s a strong DFS option with winning upside.

Justin Thomas ($8,300)

Thomas brings a strong mix of course history and upside into the Masters, with eight cuts made in 10 appearances at Augusta and multiple past contending runs. His iron play remains elite, ranking inside the top 15 in key strokes gained metrics, and he showed life with a top-10 finish at THE PLAYERS. If the improved putter holds, Thomas offers a high-floor DFS option with proven winning upside.

Chris Gotterup ($8,000)

Gotterup enters the Masters as a high-upside sleeper after breaking out with two PGA Tour wins in 2026. He’s one of the longest hitters on Tour and ranks near the top in tee-to-green play, giving him the tools to handle Augusta. While debutants rarely win here, Gotterup’s confidence and ability to beat elite fields make him an intriguing DFS value play.

Akshay Bhatia ($7,800)

Bhatia is coming in hot after a win at Bay Hill and multiple top-10 finishes in 2026, showing he’s ready for a breakout major run. His approach play and putting have both been elite, a key combo at Augusta, and he’s already two-for-two making the cut here. As one of the top left-handers on Tour, he fits the course well and brings strong DFS upside at his price.

Jacob Bridgeman ($7,400)

Bridgeman is a breakout name to watch at Augusta, ranking second on Tour in SG: Total — ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — while also leading in putting. His approach play has been strong, and he’s been piling up birdies all season. The rookie brings serious momentum and confidence, and if the flat stick stays hot, he has the upside to surprise in DFS lineups.

Adam Scott ($7,200)

Scott stands out as a strong DFS value thanks to elite iron play and a proven track record at Augusta. The 2013 Masters champ has made 21 of 24 cuts here and ranks among the best on Tour in approach in 2026. He’s still long off the tee and consistently making weekends. If the putter cooperates, Scott offers cheap upside with the experience to contend.

Kurt Kitayama ($6,800)

Kitayama brings sneaky upside to Masters DFS builds thanks to elite iron play and strong all-around stats. He ranks inside the top 15 in SG: Approach and tee-to-green, while also grading well in GIR, proximity and bogey avoidance. Add in plus distance off the tee, and he fits Augusta nicely. If the putter heats up, Kitayama has clear top-10 upside at a valuable midtier price.

Matt McCarty ($6,500)

McCarty brings sneaky DFS value after a strong Masters debut (T14) in 2025, where he showed he can handle Augusta’s pressure. While recent results have been inconsistent, he’s flashed upside with a runner-up finish earlier this season. His comfort on this course and low price make him a solid roster filler with cut-making potential — and just enough upside to outperform expectations again.
