Scottie Scheffler leads four of the six panels: $15,600 salary, 80.7 projected points, 43.3% ownership, 39.3% top-150 exposure. The quiet answer: Chris Gotterup, outside the top five for salary, projection and ownership yet first in leverage. I&#8217;ll walk both into one <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineHover css-1d83bhy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stokastic.com\/articles\/dfs-strategy\/how-to-build-pga-dfs-lineups\" node=\"[object Object]\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$60,000 build<\/a> below.<\/p>\n<p>The Quick Answer<\/p>\n<p>Play Scheffler and Gotterup, funded by the value panel&#8217;s Matthew McCarty, Sepp Straka, Eric Cole and Nicolas Echavarria; fade Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood, 30.5% and 20.5% owned yet off the value, exposure and leverage panels.

Ownership is modeled as a distribution; the exposure panel counts appearances in the 150 highest sim-ROI lineups. Schauffele and Fleetwood, second and fifth in ownership, miss the value, exposure and leverage panels. At Bellerive, a long par-70 ball-striker&#8217;s test with the top-30 Tour Championship cutoff looming, that name-driven ownership is my target.<\/p>\n<p>Worked Example: From Board To Build<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler&#8217;s $15,600 leaves $44,400 for five slots, an $8,880 average. Gotterup makes that livable: at or below the salary panel&#8217;s $11,600 cutoff, second in top-150 exposure at 34.7%, first in leverage at 14.3%. No cut here means FanDuel&#8217;s finish-heavy scoring pays all week; a low-owned pivot cannot cost you a weekend. I fund the last four from the value panel: McCarty (9.12), Straka (9.04), Cole (9.02) and Echavarria (8.93), the board&#8217;s best points per dollar.
