+$10,000

Dustin Johnson ($13,000)
He’s exceptionally expensive and he has every right to be. Despite the fact that Johnson is in his first tournament since the fluke back injury at The Masters, he’s the No. 1 player in the world and was red-hot the last time he played. Outside of a bad second round that got him cut at the Farmers Insurance Open, Johnson’s worst finish this season is tied for sixth. Sixth. That includes winning the last two tournaments he played in, not including the Match Play Championship. If you want to go big, go DJ.

Jon Rahm ($11,000)
Rahm hasn’t been quite as hot as Johnson, but he’s still been quite incredible throughout the season. His round scoring average this year is a stunning 69.4 and his finishes line up with that. In his last six tournaments, he has one win, three top-5 finishes, four top-10 finishes and five top-16 finishes. His one tournament that he didn’t finish within the top 16 was The Masters, and he still came in at a decent-enough tied for 27th. Rahm is playing as good as anyone right now and could be worth the hefty price tag.

Phil Mickelson ($10,200)
Because there are so few top-tier options, Mickelson has to be mentioned. But it feels like he’s only here based on his name alone. His T22 finish at The Masters was fine, but he’s finished outside the top 30 in three of his last five tournaments. This feels like one that you should likely stay away from, unless you feel like paying dearly to gamble on Lefty.
