Following Rickie Fowler's dominant win at the Honda Classic this past weekend, seven of the eight official PGA Tour events since the start of the calendar year have been won by someone under the age of 30: Justin Thomas (twice), 23, Hudson Swafford, 29, Jon Rahm, 22, Hideki Matsuyama, 25, Jordan Spieth, 23, and Fowler, 28. The only outlier during that span? World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, at an ancient 32 years old. The future of golf is right now, and while many pundits thought it wouldn't recover from the downfall of Tiger Woods, the sport couldn't be in a better place right now in terms of overall depth of young talent. That will be on full display this week at the WGC-Mexico, which will feature 49 of the top 50 players in the world (Jason Day is out with an illness). That alone will make for some interesting DFS lineup decisions, but when you throw in the unfamiliarity of the course, things get even more unpredictable. Here's what we know about the Club de Golf Chapultepec, the home of the first ever WGC event in Mexico: It's a 7,330-yard Par 71, it's about 7,500 feet above sea level, and the only golfer in this field who played it when it last hosted a tournament (2014 Mexican Open) is Roberto Diaz. Another thing to remember: There will be no cut, meaning all golfers will play all four rounds, and you'll have more incentive to take some risks on potential sleepers. With all that in mind, you can click through the gallery for my optimal DraftKings lineup, or you can head here for an in-depth rundown of DFS golf strategies. (Getty)
Dustin Johnson
Price: $12,500
Sometimes you just don't overthink it. With so much unknown about the course and how it will play out, I'll stick with the No. 1 player in the world. Not only does DJ have three Top-10's in his last four tournaments, including a win in the Genesis Open his last time out, but he ranks first on Tour in strokes gained off the tee, first in strokes gained tee to green and third in GIR percentage. His driving accuracy (135th) has been a bit off the mark, but that shouldn't be much of a problem here, as the high altitude (read: long drives) and number of short holes (six Par 4's under 410 yards) will allow him to often club down off the tee. Oh yeah, and in Johnson's last 11 WGC events, he sports three wins and six Top-10's. (Getty)
Gary Woodland
Price: $8,400
As we just mentioned, this course features six Par 4's that measure under 410 yards, and when you factor in the potential for big drives because of the altitude, there figures to be a lot of short approach shots. That points us right to Woodland, who ranks second on Tour in birdie or better percentage on approach shots from 125 yards and closer. The fact that he enters as one of the hottest players in the world--two Top-10's in his last two starts--doesn't hurt, either. (Getty)
Tyrrell Hatton
Price: $8,300
Hatton's first PGA Tour event of the year went swimmingly, as he shot three rounds under 69 and ultimately finished tied for fourth at the Honda Classic. Of course, those who pay attention to the European Tour weren't surprised, as it marked the Englishman's sixth Top-10 in his last nine starts overall. He has established himself as one of the best players in the world, and we know he doesn't back down against a strong field after he went Top-10 in each of the last two majors in 2016. (Getty)
Alexander Noren
Price: $7,200
Noren only makes his way to North America for majors and WGC events, so there's a good chance he flies under the radar this week, which makes him a compelling GPP play. And even if he doesn't fly under the radar, he still has a bright outlook. He's the 11th-ranked golfer in the world, he won four times in 2016, and he has proven the ability to play well at altitude with two wins at the European Masters, which is played in the Swiss Alps. There's also some good value here, as he has the 30th shortest odds to win but is priced as just the 37th most expensive player on DraftKings. (Getty)
Thomas Pieters
Price: $6,800
Remember the key stat of birdie or better percentage from 125 yards and closer? Pieters ranks first. Moreover, with the no-cut format, it makes sense to go with boom-or-bust player (Pieters has a runner-up finish, which included a 63, and two missed cuts in his last four starts, so he certainly qualifies) because the upside is still there but the risk is somewhat minimized.

Danny Willett
Price: $6,700
Willett enters with shaky form, having missed the cut at the Honda Classic last week, but this is the 14th ranked player in the world who is just $200 more expensive than the minimum-price option. At some point the value because just a little too good to pass up, and I'm fine rolling with the defending Masters champion at this price. Jhonattan Vegas ($6,600) is also a compelling option in this range, as he has made all five cuts this year and has continually improved over the last month, going 34th, 28th, 15th and fourth in his last four starts.
