The Outlook
Finau is an excellent bargain on DraftKings, where he’s priced as the 34th-most expensive golfer but owns the ninth-best Long-Term Adjusted Round Score (68.6). Along with being one of the longest hitters on tour (310.7-yard Long-Term Driving Distance), Finau has also hit an outstanding 68.7% of greens over the past 75 weeks. Finau should thrive on the par-4s, as six of them check in at 450 yards or longer. This season, Finau ranks 19th in strokes gained on par-4s between 450 and 500 yards. Finau’s primary concern will be keeping the ball in the fairway, since he ranks 104th in Fairways Gained.
