Fantasy Golf Sites

My Recommended Fantasy Golf Sites

There are currently two main fantasy sports sites that I recommend playing fantasy golf at. DraftKings and DraftDay. I play DraftKings virtually every week of the year. You can find me playing under the fantasy name Spry13. If you are considering playing, I strongly recommend you stick with one of the sites listed here as they are the best fantasy golf sites online.

Fantasy Golf Websites For Real Money

There are dozens of golf websites with different style fantasy games. There is the yahoo! pickem leagues, the ESPN fantasy challenges and of course the PGA tour’s own fantasy leagues you can play in.

But, for most of us, we are looking for the weekly style fantasy golf where you play, win or lose over the course of one tournament.

I’m talking DraftKings style fantasy golf.

Buy into a huge contest or play one other player for a double up. The choice is yours and there are plenty of games to choose from. Fantasy golf runs 47 weeks out of the year so you can play virtually all year round. Jump on board now while the games are big, juicy and fun!

DraftKings Fantasy Golf

The most dynamic fantasy golf online in 2014. All players should have an account at Draft Kings. PGA contests start out for real money at $0.25 in the quarter arcade leagues. There are also $1 and $2 and $5 leagues available with guaranteed cash prizes each and every week.

DraftDay Fantasy Golf

DraftDay has a variety of PGA contests.

DraftDay Fantasy Golf – This is a smaller site with less quantity of competition. I will be joining the contests soon. They are legit and now they are on my recommended list. I have played fantasy football here and the interface and in game experience is great. They were bought out by the same group that owns FanThrowdown in early/ mid 2014.

What I like about playing fantasy golf at DraftDay is that they are a smaller fantasy site than DraftKings with fewer overall players. In addition they offer live snake style drafts and pick’em leagues that do not utilize the salary cap format at DraftKings. They offer the choice of one golfer from 6 different tiers. You choose one golfer from a selection of 3-8 golfers to put together your team. This is not offered at DraftKings.

More Fantasy Golf Websites You Can Play

FanDuel Fantasy Golf – No golf contests at FanDuel. You can not currently play fantasy PGA contests at the worlds largest daily fantasy sports site, FanDuel. While we are unsure whether or not Fan Duel golf leagues will ever come into being, we can only hope so. The reason that was given twitter post from FanDuel was that they were not comfortable with the legality of fantasy PGA. The second and third largest sites have decided that it is completely fine. Remember, fantasy sports are 100% legal in all but a few states in the US and Canada.
FanThrowDown Fantasy PGA – A very limited selection of pga contests and traffic. I’ve played in a few contests here and it is nothing to exciting. I recommend putting your money on one of the other sites for now.

Fantasy Golf Legal? For Real Money?

Yes, fantasy sports are specifically carved out in the UIGEA (the unlawful internet gambling enforcement act) has a specific carve out for fantasy sports, and horse racing. So, fantasy sports are expressly legal at a federal level and unless you live in one of a very few states that has state legislation against playing fantasy sports for money then you are free to play.

It is a game of skill. Skill games for money are legal. You can deposit with paypal and credit cards and get paid out there as well. It is fast, easy and legit.
