DFS Promotion of the Week

DFS Promotion of the Week

The PGA Tour season will soon be coming to an end. DraftKings is celebrating in their own unparalleled style with not one, but two huge contenders for the DFS Promotion of the Week to coincide with the final event of the schedule: The Tour Championship.

The last of the four FedEx Cup tournaments, The Tour Championship brings together the hottest talents in the world of golf right now as they seek to become the end of season champion and pocket a considerable prize check of $10 million.

As things stand, five players – Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Adam Scott, Jason Day, and Paul Casey – can all win the FedEx Cup and that mighty loot. The likes of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Russell Knox could also get their hands on the trophy if a particular set of circumstances go their way.

Spieth especially has plenty of motivation. He is the defending champion here, an event which he won in fine style in 2015:

To commemorate the nerve-jangling finale, DraftKings has pulled together an extraordinary slate. Two of the contests in particular are intriguing: Pressure Putt and our DFS Promotion of the Week…Fore!

Pressure Drop

In any other gameweek we would happily call Pressure Putt our DFS Promotion of the Week, what with its $50,000 top prize and guaranteed prize pool of $300,000. But incredibly, it has been pipped by an even more lucrative promo – more on that later.

The entry fee is a reasonable $400 (with multi entry set at 20 teams). With just 833 entries accepted, the odds of winning are much greater than with some big bonanza contests that DraftKings tends to run to coincide with golf’s biggest events.

Cash prizes are awarded on an ascending scale based on your performance. The winner receives $50k, $25k to the runner up, $15k for the bronze medalist, all the way down to a decent consolation prize of $600 for entrants finishing 126th to 220th.

Fore to the Floor

But the coup de grace, and DFS Promotion of the Week, goes to Fore!, another lucrative contest aimed at the Tour Championship.

For just a $4 entry, savvy Daily Fantasy managers can win a huge jackpot prize of $100,000! A rather sweet $40k and $20k is on offer for those finishing second and third. If you finish anywhere within the first 31,000 entries (the full list will comprise some 147,000 players) you will still pocket a tidy 50% profit on your entry fee. Told you it was lucrative.

The total prize fund is $500,000, and it is one of the largest pools that DraftKings has run.

Best of luck to all who enter our DFS Promotion of the Week!
