Bubba Watson is expected to be among the top daily Fantasy golf picks this week for the 2022 Genesis Invitational. Watson has won the Genesis Invitational three times in his career, the most recent being in 2018. However, daily Fantasy golf players will have to decide if he can be trusted when setting their PGA DFS strategy for the 2022 Genesis Invitational, which gets underway on Thursday, Feb. 17.  

With a PGA DFS player pool featuring Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Jonson, PGA DFS players will have to decide which golfers are worth investing in. 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? Before you lock in your PGA DFS picks for the Genesis Invitational 2022, 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 WM Phoenix Open, McClure included Brooks Koepka among his top PGA DFS picks. The result: Koepka secured a T-3 finish with a score of 15-under par, helping him return 122 points on FanDuel and 90.5 points on DraftKings. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable weekend.

In addition, McClure's model is up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament. This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 Genesis Invitational 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 Genesis Invitational 2022. 

Top 2022 Genesis Invitational PGA DFS picks

One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the Genesis Invitational 2022 is Cameron Smith at $9,100 on DraftKings and $11,100 on FanDuel. Smith secured his fourth career victory earlier this season at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, setting the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record of 34-under par.

Smith has finished inside the top-15 in four of his five starts this season, and he secured a top-five finish at the Genesis Invitational in 2021. He has all the tools needed to return solid value for your PGA DFS lineups this week at Riviera Country Club. In fact, Smith is currently ranked first on the PGA Tour in scoring average (69.226), second in birdie average (5.89) and fifth in greens in regulation percentage (77.16). 

McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Patrick Cantlay at $11,000 on DraftKings and $12,000 on FanDuel. The 29-year-old secured a runner-up finish at the WM Phoenix Open last week, losing in a playoff to Scottie Scheffler. 

Cantlay has now finished inside the top-10 in each of his last six starts on the PGA Tour. He also has all the tools needed to return solid value for your PGA DFS lineups at the Genesis Invitational 2022. In fact, Cantlay enters this week's event ranked first in one-putt percentage (47.57), second in scoring average (69.424) and fourth in birdie average (5.69). Lock him in your PGA DFS lineups and look for a big return at Riviera Country Club.
