DFS Tools: Gizmo Wins $10K (Again) in DraftKings PGA Showdown

In a single-entry PGA Showdown format where duplication can kill upside, Gizmo’s winning lineup scored a massive 390 fantasy points with zero duplicates. The $10,000-winning build came in at $49,900 salary:

Winning Lineup (1st – $10K): Kurt Kitayama, Sam Stevens, Pierceson Coody, Matt Wallace, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Tom Kim

His third-place lineup was a completely different build with 373.05 fantasy points:

Third Place Lineup (3rd – $2K): Jake Knapp, Kurt Kitayama, Sam Stevens, Matt Wallace, David Lipsky, Taylor Moore

By leveraging Stokastic’s PGA DFS Sims, Gizmo was able to identify underutilized stacks and weather-adjusted player pool, —key factors in Showdown formats.

DFS Tools + Volume + Precision = Profit

Across 150 lineups, Gizmo posted:

  • 1,573% average ROI on 12.6% average projected ROI from Sims
  • Zero duplication on top-finishing lineups
  • 56 lineups cashing, 29 returning at least 100% on investment

Top exposures reflect both modeling precision and sharp DFS strategy:
