The second Reignmaker PGA TOUR premium release is here! This kit, called Approach, will be available for a limited time on the DraftKings Marketplace starting April 4th – so get excited! Premium sets are the best way to collect all your favorite golfers and ensure season-long use of your digital golfer cards.
The Approach set will be divided into weekly curated pack drops corresponding to the next five events starting with the major next weekend in Georgia. These packages will be available for a limited time each week, with departures starting every Tuesday at 16.00 and ends on Thursday when the competition closes.
It’s here! The first major championship of the year has finally arrived. For some it’s just another golf tournament, but for others it means the start of spring and the change of season. Unfortunately, winter may return to this area over the weekend, with unseasonably cold temperatures set to roll in. However, it wouldn’t be a great championship if there weren’t some challenges to it. Jason Rouslin dives into the event and provides a few goals for the week and beyond.
The Masters is the only one of the four major championships to be played at the same course every year – Augusta National Golf Club. This year marks the 87th edition of the event, with 88 golfers competing. However, only 52 of them are available to play in DraftKing’s Reignmakers PGA TOUR. Of those 52, two have chosen not to have cards (Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose), and the remaining players are either amateurs, former champions or not on the PGA TOUR. This makes it the most exclusive tournament in golf and should provide plenty of excitement this year.
As a “premium event”, the Masters has a total prize pool of $350,000, with a top prize of $20,000 on the ELITE and REIGNMAKER teams.
One of the most popular new games in the fantasy world is DraftKing’s Reignmakers, which features NFT cards from players in all different sports! And while football was a big hit, DraftKings’ latest unveiling is the Reignmakers PGA TOUR game.

Reignmaker’s UFC holders will be able to compete for another UFC VIP experience!
