PGA DFS players have been entering contests on DraftKings and FanDuel for years. On the other hand, Underdog Fantasy is relatively new, and its unique draft format creates inefficiencies on the site when making Masters fantasy picks. There’s no better time to take advantage of those inefficiencies than in Underdog Masters contests as they compound when so many more new players enter the contests.
It’s a perfect time to get in and take a look at the most over- and under-drafted golfer in Underdog PGA contests.

Underdog 2023 Masters Fantasy Picks
Under Drafted Player Based on ADP
Corey Conners: ADP 23.8
Corey Conners is coming off his 2nd career win at the Valero Texas Open a week ago and is certainly entering Augusta in prime form. In Conners’ five career starts at the Masters he’s had some really nice success to the tune of three top-10 finishes. He’s improved each time he’s played at Augusta, increasing his finish position with each successive year.
Conners has played well at major championships throughout his career. In addition to his success at the Masters, Conners has fared well at the PGA Championship and the Open Championship. He is an elite tee-to-green player with a game that is tailor made for major championship golf. He should be getting drafted closer to the 18-20 range.

Sungjae Im: ADP 16
Sungjae Im is as consistent as any professional golfer out there these days. He’s made 17 of his last 1 8 cuts on the PGA Tour while gaining strokes on the field in every statistical Strokes Gained category.
Im has a strong history of success at major championships. He has two top-10 finishes at Augusta, a top-20 finish at the PGA Championship and two top-35s at the U.S. Open.
There are too many names being drafted ahead of Sungjae Im that make me scratch my head. I’ve got him ranked in the 12-14 range and well worth the price at the 16 ADP.

Over Drafted Players Based on ADP
Justin Thomas: ADP 5.8
Justin Thomas hasn’t been the same player over the last six months that PGA fans have grown accustomed to seeing. J.T. hasn’t been terrible but he’s only posted two to-10 finishes over the past nine months on TOUR. It’s clear that something is off with his game. It’s too risky to draft Thomas in the top six on Underdog Fantasy.
J.T. has gained strokes putting in just two of his last 11 tournaments. That has played a key role in his slump. It’s troubling heading into the major championship season.
Some may see Thomas’s lack of putting as typical variance since, after all, putting is the most volatile aspect of golf. However, those numbers are his 11-worst tournaments from a putting perspective dating back to the start of 2019.
On a positive note, Thomas’s ball striking appears to be coming around. He has had positive performances off the tee and on approach in five of his last six outings. He’s not a bad pick, but I would feel more comfortable taking him in the 9-10 range. You’ll be better off riding with players in better form like Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and Colin Morikawa that you can get from 5-7 on Underdog.
Sahith Theegala: ADP 29.1
Sahith Theegala is a young, up-and-coming player on TOUR who has flashed his talent more than a few times. That said, I am concerned with Theegala’s readiness to compete in a major championship.
He has limited experience in majors, and his results in them so far have not been great. He has failed to make the weekend in two of his three major championships. He finished 34th when he did make the cut.
Theegala’s inaccuracy off the tee is also giving me pause. Major championships are typically set up to penalize players that get into the rough or hazards off missed fairways.
There is no doubt that Sahith Theegala has a bright future, and sure, 2023 could be the year he breaks through on the major scene. However, at his ADP of 29.1 I’d rather take my chances with Keegan Bradley (ADP: 30.7) or Justin Rose (ADP: 31.2). Both Bradley and Rose have a lot more experience to rely upon. I think Theegala fits better alongside Brian Harman in the 39.5 ADP range.
