Brooks Koepka is expected to be among the top daily Fantasy golf picks this week for the 2021 Shriners Children's Open. Koepka earned his eighth PGA Tour victory last season at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and he enters the Shriners Children's Open 2021 as the No. 9 ranked player in the world. Koepka secured a total of eight top-10 finishes last season, but daily Fantasy golf players will have to decide if he can be trusted when setting their 2021 Shriners Children's Open PGA DFS strategy. Play gets underway from TPC Summerlin on Thursday, Oct. 7.

With a PGA DFS player pool featuring the likes of Viktor Hovland, Webb Simpson, Hideki Matsuyama and Kevin Na, daily Fantasy golf 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 2021 Shriners Children's Open, 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 Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure included Will Zalatoris among his top PGA DFS picks on DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Zalatoris secured a top-15 finish with a score of 17-under par, returning 92 points on DraftKings and 106.7 on FanDuel. Anybody who had him in their lineup 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 Shriners Children's Open 2021 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 2021 Shriners Children's Open. 

Top 2021 Shriners Children's Open PGA DFS picks

One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the Shriners Children's Open 2021: Joaquin Niemann at $8,300 on DraftKings and $10,000 on FanDuel. Niemann is a long ball hitter who averaged over 310 yards per drive last season, which ranked 13th on the PGA Tour. 

Niemann's ability to drive the ball deep into the fairway will allow him to use his short irons to approach the green. That lethal combination helped the 22-year-old hit nearly 70 percent of greens in regulation last season, which will certainly come in handy this week at TPC Summerlin. Niemann also racked up 422 birdies last season, so confidently lock him in your PGA DFS lineups and look for a big return at the 2021 Shriners Children's Open.

McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Louis Oosthuizen at $9,900 on DraftKings and $11,400 on FanDuel. Oosthuizen was red-hot down the stretch last season, finishing inside the top-15 in seven of his last 10 events on the PGA Tour. That includes a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open and a T-3 showing at the Open Championship. 

Oosthuizen was able to secure those positive results thanks in large part to his sensational putting stroke. In fact, Oosthuizen finished last season ranked first in strokes gained: putting (.764) and total putting (51.7). The 38-year-old also ranked third in scoring average (69.174) and 10th in strokes gained: around-the-green (.353), both of which will be critical this week at TPC Summerlin.
