This Friday morning, Draftkings golf fans will be presented with the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship. Let’s take a look at the second round of this tournament from a DFS perspective.
Before I discuss my Draftkings player selections for the second round of this week’s major championship let’s review where the 2025 PGA Championship will be played.
The 2025 PGA Championship will be played at the Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The golf course is a par 71 that measures approximately 7,626 yards.
*Xander Schauffele won the 2024 PGA Championship with a four round cumulative score of 21 under par.
I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest! Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this DFS slate.
For those readers that are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single round showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.
If you need to review the specific rules for the single round showdown contests feel free to check out the DraftKings website.
Here are my DraftKings player selections for the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship.
Draftkings PGA Championship Second Round Picks
Scottie Scheffler $12,800
Since the beginning of January, Scottie Scheffler has played nine tournaments on the PGA Tour. In those nine events just noted, Scheffler amassed a rather impressive eight top 20 finishes, including a win at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson two weeks ago.
Scottie Scheffler certainly checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Scheffler is currently ranked first in strokes gained approach (1.224), first in par four scoring average (3.88), first in overall strokes gained (2.394), seventh in GIR (greens in regulation-71.45%), second in strokes gained off the tee (0.716) and first in bogey avoidance (9.57%) on the PGA Tour.
Additionally, Scheffler has posted quality results at the PGA Championship multiple times. More recently, Scheffler finished second at the 2023 PGA Championship.
Stephan Jaeger $7,300
Stephan Jaeger has tallied four top 20 finishes in his last nine events played on the PGA Tour, including an impressive seventh-place result at the 2025 Truist Championship last week.
Due to Stepan Jaeger’s quality finish at the 2025 Truist Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how Jaeger fared relative to the field.
Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 Truist Championship, in relation to the field, Stephan Jaeger ranked fifth in driving distance (321.2), 16th in overall putting average (1.731), 16th in total birdies made (18) and 11th in bogey avoidance (8).
In summary, I fully expect Stephen Jaeger to continue his outstanding play in tomorrow’s second round of the 2025 PGA Championship.
Ryan Fox $7,200
Ryan Fox has compiled three top 20 finishes in his last seven tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a win at last week’s 2025 Myrtle Beach Classic.
Upon the completion of this afternoon’s first round of the 2025 PGA Championship, Ryan Fox is tied for fourth place with a score of four under par.
Additional golfers I like to perform well in the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship (Draftkings price noted): Collin Morikawa $9,300: Tyrrell Hatton $8,100: Keegan Bradley $7,600: Taylor Pendrith $6,800.
