Some field we have! These are the weeks that set the grinders apart. These are the weeks that pay off knowing everything you need to know about 6K golfers. We will see these players in the upper tier ranges as they will need to fill the voids of the good players who are not here. This is the worst field we have seen in 2023 by a far margin. We head to Port Royal Golf Course for the Bermuda Championship. Wind will be a factor at this resort-style course this week, so consider that while building lineups. Stacking tee time waves will be advantageous. Let’s dive into this 2023 Bermuda Championship DFS.
2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Best DFS Plays by Range
9K and Above
Thomas Detry $10,500
Thomas Detry has finished 21st and 2nd in his time at Port Royal GC. Besides that, he calls Punta Cana his home. It is safe to say he likes this type of golf. Detry has not missed a cut since July and has played a decent amount of Fall events. We want a golfer who has been playing a lot of golf of late, not a guy who has taken the Fall swing off. Being priced this high, Detry does not have the greatest win equity, but he surely had T2 in him! I think this narrative will have people fade him or fade this range as a whole.
Ben Griffin $9,300
This is the event that Ben Griffin had his coming out party last season. Leading on the back nine, Griffin looked in control. Once the final few holes came around, he really lost control of his golf swing. Griffin is a more polished version of himself this time around and has already contended this year. He has a legit top-three upside and is one of the better long-term iron players in this field. Lock in Ben Griffin in your 2023 Bermuda Championship DFS lineups.

Mid Range
Davis Riley $8,400
Coming off a missed cut, Davis Riley will be a forgotten man this week. In an event like this, you need to bank on ceiling and potential, and that is the best way to describe Davis Riley. He is a blossoming young golfer with the talent to be a PGA Tour winner. Why not take a shot at him in a field like this? We have seen him perform in much better fields than this. I am not worried about the form. This a pure flyer on a golfer who has shown good things in the past.
Nicolas Echavarria $7,100
Echavarria has made his first cut since April last week at the WTT Championship. We head to another resort-style golf course here, similar to what we saw last week. Echavarria won last year in no form at the Puerto Rico Open, which was another resort-style golf course. Echavarria spoke about Villegas in his win last year, and we saw Villegas nearly win just last week. Hopefully, Nico can be fueled by his hero’s performance and turn out a solid showing this week.
6K Range
Max McGreevy $6,700
last year, max mcgreevy T5 100/1 was my longest placement hit ever and we’re running it back !
he gained 5.23 strokes ball striking at last weeks 3M which was only the second time in his career he has eclipsed 5+ strokes in that category. Any guesses on where he did it last😏 https://t.co/LWIYQzXP2H

Simply enough, you play Max M on Bermuda. All of his best performances have come on short Bermuda golf courses, and that is what we have here. He is coming off a T31 last week, which should be great for the confidence. Let’s run out McGreevy in this very bleak 6K range to finish out our Bermuda Championship DFS Lineups.
