A number of Daily Fantasy Sports websites have been capitalizing on what is becoming a Fantasy Golf craze of sorts. As a way of being more competitive, they have been vying with one another to offer the best free Fantasy Golf contests on the Net. And as we quickly discover, “Free” does not always mean “Zero Prizes” or a chance to secure one’s bragging rights.
DraftKings.com has its 25 cent PGA League $100 Guaranteed. Not necessarily free per se but the next best thing. This 470-player contest features a $100.00 prize pool and pays out the top 100 finishing positions. First place wins $20.00.
They also feature an actual Play-for-Free contest that offers the opportunity to win prizes. This 100000-player contest features a $10.00 prize pool and pays out the top 5 finishing positions. First place wins a ticket into a more lucrative event.
FanWars.com was pushing its Green Free PGA contest that offered up a $1 grand prize, so essentially this one is for bragging rights. 2nd thru 27th places get a whopping 25 cents. The contest was being capped off at 1500.
FantasyAces.com, meanwhile, was offering its PGA Free Roll contests with the chance to win $24 with no entry fee required.
