DraftKings, one of the leading Daily Fantasy Sports sites, was offering a number of PGA Championship Daily Fantasy Golf contests, many of which featured top cash prizes.
The granddaddy of them all is the $3.3M Fantasy Golf Millionaire Maker! Draft up to 100 lineups for only $20 each for a shot to win the $1M top prize on August 13th. The contest was capped off at 188,900 with anything greater than 45840th cashing out. The 2nd place finish is not too shabby either, paying out $100,000.00.
The PGA $250K Thunderdome was being capped off at 50 players and was expected to be sold out before midnight heading into Thursday morning. This 50-player contest features a $250,000.00 prize pool and pays out the top 9 finishing positions. First place wins $100,000.00. The catch of course is the amount being risked: $5300.
The $600K Golf World Champ Qualifier might also interest Daily Fantasy Golf aficionados. The winner receives an entry to the $600,000 Fantasy Golf World Championship – Fantasy Golf’s first ever live championship! Follow your golfers on the course at TPC Boston as you play for your share of $600,000. This VIP trip for two includes five nights in Boston (Sept. 3rd – 8th), $1,000 for airfare and you’ll experience all four rounds of The Deutsche Bank Championship from the DraftKings Lounge! Only 132 entries will be accepted for this contest.
