$10,000+

Dustin Johnson ($12,500): Because of the dominant level that Dustin Johnson has been playing at, many people may have seen him at THE PLAYERS and thought that he might be cooling off. Admittedly, he wasn’t great on Thursday through Saturday. However, he drilled a 4-under 68 on Sunday and finished tied for 12th and with a solid 72 points in DraftKings scoring. He’s the surest thing in golf still and rightfully the highest-priced player.

Sergio Garcia ($11,000): A gross 78 on Sunday really hurt Sergio Garcia’s finish at THE PLAYERS, but he’d been playing quite well to that point. He entered the final round at 5-under and seemed primed for a shot at the win after a strong third round. The winds claimed him as a victim too, however. With that said, he’s the defending champion at the Byron Nelson and is still overall in great form.

Jordan Spieth ($10,800): I’m going to mention Jordan Spieth here simply because of the lack of top-tier options and the level that we all know that the former Masters Champion is capable of playing at. However, he’s missed the cut and his last two tournaments not played at Augusta, so the form isn’t where you’d like it to be. Still, he’s played well in his home state at the Byron Nelson in the past and could be solid.

Brooks Koepka ($10,200): As mentioned, Brooks Koepka suffered a late case of butterflies to go into a playoff with Garcia at the AT&T Byron Nelson a year ago, causing him to finish second. However, that’s still a great finish for DraftKings. What’s more, he’s been playing quite well of late. He tied for 11th at The Masters, finished second at the Valero Texas Open, and then tied for 16th at THE PLAYERS. He’s been consistent and could compete to win in Irving, TX again.

Jason Day ($10,100): For three rounds at THE PLAYERS, Jason Day looked much more like the player that we expect him to be as he was 1-under heading into Sunday. A putrid 80 ruined the tournament for him, however. At this point, he’s still a risk, but he’s a risk that looks closer to paying off than in recent weeks.
