DFS Golf: The Memorial expert picks

4:40 PM ET

As part of ESPN Fantasy’s efforts to give daily gamers intel on whom to target in DFS, our fantasy golf experts are here to share which players they view as building blocks for this weekend’s event. The panel for The Memorial features ESPN.com’s Jason Sobel, Michael Collins, and Jonathan Coachman, as well as FantasyGolfInsider’s Jeff Bergerson, Jason Rouslin, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Dailyfantasybootcamp’s David Jayne.

Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.

Michael Collins — Jim Furyk ($7,300)

Muirfield Village, at almost 7,300 yards, should favor a bomber (“should” being the operative word). Since 1995 Furyk has only missed the cut once (he didn’t play in ’04). That’s 20 starts with 15 top 25’s and seven top 10s which includes a T-5 last year!

Jeff Bergerson — Matt Kuchar ($9,900)

At $9,900, which is $2,000 less than the top-priced guys, I become extremely interested in Kuchar as …
