DraftKings Reignmakers Corales Puntacana Championship: Taylor Pendrith

Reignmakers offers more than a mere NFT fantasy sports game; it’s also about participating in the marketplace. In this article, we will examine my preferred targets on the secondary marketplace for the 2023 Corales Puntacana Championship. So let’s explore the top picks.

DraftKings Reignmakers Picks: Corales Puntacana Championship

Taylor Pendrith ($7.98 Core, $39.99 Rare)

One of the games within the game of Reignmakers is planning ahead. With the schedule and prize pools already announced for every event this PGA Tour season, understanding how to build your team optimally for each specific week can be a huge edge. Specifically, the alternate-field events allow for loading up a team if people don’t know what they’re looking for, which will be the case this week with the Corales and later this season with the Barbasol during The Open Championship. And while the prize pools aren’t as big as the WGC Match Play, neither are the card prices of the players needed to fill out a lineup.

Enter Taylor Pendrith. Despite the third-best odds to win at +2200 on DraftKings Sportsbook, his current price point for core contests is still far lower than it should be. He is in the top 10 in this field in driving distance and second in overall driving, which should come in handy on a gigantic 7,650-yard resort course. And despite the putter going ice cold the past two weeks, Pendrith had been positive gaining strokes on the short grass in his previous six events. Plus, his card should have extra utility in the future, as he should play in nearly every tournament for which he is eligible all season long. That could be especially valuable in these weaker-field events.

Michael Kim ($1.54 Core, $15.00 Rare)

There are a number of penny stock options to round out core Reignmakers lineups at the Corales, but Michael Kim profiles as the best among them. He has struggled to find his footing in the professional ranks over the past decade, but Kim has started to show signs of form this year, posting an 11th-place finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach and a fifth in Puerto Rico. He has missed the cut his last two times teeing it up at the Corales, but with the amount of missed cuts he’s had on the PGA Tour pre-2023, that’s hardly indicative of this player. Kim’s time is coming, and there is no better time than a weak-field event to take a shot on his pedigree.
