⏱ 15-minute playbook · CAPTAIN MODE — 1 CPT (1.5× points & salary) + 5 flex · $50K cap · 18 golfers. The leaders-only slate, and the board is tighter than the morning coverage suggested: THREE co-leaders at −9 — Rory McIlroy, Tom Kim, and Jordan L. Smith — with Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee one back. Eighteen golfers, every one of them inside the top 20. On a slate this tight, salary sorting is broken — and broken pricing is where showdowns get won.
The free read — the pricing error in one line: DraftKings priced this slate by NAME, not by position. Rory costs $12,000 flex. Jordan L. Smith — tied with him on the same number — costs $7,400. Same score, same tee window, $4,600 apart. When three golfers share the lead and only one of them is priced like a leader, the other two are the slate. The full captain board, my six favorite plays with the reasoning, the punt tier, and three cap-legal builds are inside.
Behind the paywall: my six favorite plays with the reasoning, the ranked captain board (cash + GPP seats), the all-top-20 punt tier, three cap-legal builds including the three-co-leader construction, and the live-sweat guide.
