Tournament Preview
Regnum Carya Golf & Spa is hosting the Turkish Airlines Open this week for the second time. It is a gently sloping, tree-lined heathland course. Water is present on most holes, with some fairways rather tight, and the greens are large, undulating and fast. A hot putter could make the difference this week along with solid ball striking, as it appears that length off the tee is less important this week than accuracy. There is a shortened field this week, and it is a no-cut event.
With some of the best golfers teeing it up this week and The Race to Dubai nearing its finale, this should be an exciting tournament. Recent form and last year's results will be highly weighted.

DraftKings Picks
Tyrrell Hatton $10,800 (12/1)
If a hot putter is what is needed this week, then look no further. Tyrrell's putter has been on fire for weeks. He is in contention for The Race to Dubai and is coming off a T11 at WGC-HSBC last week. Hatton played at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa last year and finished T10, so look for him to improve on that this week.
George Coetzee $9,300 (28/1)
Coetzee has been exhibiting good form since mid-September. He's had three top-tens since then, including a T6 last time out at Italian Open. He is ranked 22nd in putts per round on tour and had a nice result here last year, finishing fifth. There is plenty of upside with the South African, who is ranked 18th in stroke average.
Bernd Wiesberger $8,700 (22/1)
I see great value here with Wiesberger at only $8,700. Bernd has been flashing some good form this fall, including a T9 last week at WGC-HSBC. He's eighth in GIR, 33rd in PPR and is very accurate off the tee (seventh in driving accuracy on tour). Wiesberger has shown he can handle this course, he was solo 4th here last year.
David Lipsky $7,100 (150/1)
Digging deeper down the price tier, Lipsky appears to be a solid choice. He was T6 at Turkish Airlines Open last year and just plays well at this tournament. David was T15 in 2014 and T20 in 2015, although they were at a different venue. Lipsky is ranked 16th in PPR and 28th in GIR. His recent form has been a bit up and down, but chances must be taken in this price range to roster multiple top-tier golfers.
