History

Historical Context

DraftKings founded 2012, FanDuel spun off 2009; their dominance gave them about 95% of the U.S. daily-fantasy market by 2015 and contributed to a 62.5 million-player fantasy base by 2022, setting the stage for the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch to feature DFS promos for professional golfers at the tournament from both companies.
