The PGA DFS player pool for the 2022 Travelers Championship is loaded with talent. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay are among the big names set to tee-off at TPC River Highlands on Thursday, June 23. Can any of those household names be relied on as PGA DFS picks this week? Or is it time to fade them in favor of players with a significantly lower price tag?

A potential PGA DFS sleeper to consider at the 2022 Travelers Championship is Denny McCarthy ($8,300 on DraftKings, $9,700 on FanDuel). McCarthy is coming off a T-7 finish at the U.S. Open, his fourth top-10 finish of the season. Before you lock in your PGA DFS picks for the 2022 Travelers Championship, you'll want to see the latest daily Fantasy golf picks, advice and player pool from SportsLine's Mike McClure.

McClure is a DFS pro with nearly $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA Tour picks this season. McClure is also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every tournament 10,000 times, taking factors like statistical trends, past results and current form into account. This allows him to find the best PGA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any PGA DFS player.

Last week at the U.S. Open, McClure included Will Zalatoris among his core PGA DFS picks on FanDuel and DraftKings. The result: Zalatoris secured a runner-up finish by shooting 5-under par. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable weekend.

In addition, McClure's model is up over $9,600 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament. This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 Travelers Championship and revealed his optimal PGA DFS advice, strategy and player pool. Head to SportsLine now to see his top daily Fantasy golf picks for the Travelers Championship 2022

2022 Travelers Championship PGA DFS picks

One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the Travelers Championship 2022 is Joaquin Niemann at $9,600 on DraftKings and $11,100 on FanDuel. Niemann is having a stellar season, securing the second victory of his young career at the Genesis Invitational and finishing inside the top-25 in three of his last four starts.

The 23-year-old Chilean is one of the most well-rounded players on the PGA Tour, which has helped him record four top-10 finishes this season. Niemann enters the 2022 Travelers Championship ranked third in putting average (1.693), ninth in overall putting average (1.453) and 18th in strokes gained: around-the-green (.381). Niemann's ability to get up-and-down around the greens at TPC River Highlands is a major reason why McClure believes he's a complete steal for your PGA DFS lineups. 

McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Brendan Steele at $7,700 on DraftKings and $9,500 on FanDuel. Steele enters this week's event full of confidence. That's because the 39-year-old has finished T-10 or better in three of his last four starts, which includes a T-9 finish at the PGA Championship.

Steele has been able to secure those positive results thanks to his ability to put himself in advantageous positions. In fact, Steele ranks fifth in strokes gained: off-the-tee (.720) and 35th in greens in regulation percentage (67.74). He's also had success at TPC River Highlands, recording a T-6 finish in 2020, which makes him an extremely valuable PGA DFS asset this week.
