$8,000-$9,000

Rickie Fowler ($8,900)
The last time that we saw Rickie Fowler out on the course, he was submitting a horrendous Sunday performance at THE PLAYERS. He shot a 79 in the final round and dropped all the way down to T60. However, Fowler has played well this year overall. In his six tournaments prior to THE PLAYERS, Fowler didn’t finish worse than tied for 16th. At $8,900 on DraftKings, he’s a crazy good value here.

Willie McGirt ($8,600)
Frankly, the only reason that we’re mentioning William McGirt here is that he’s the defending champion at the Memorial. However, he’s been horribly inconsistent thus far in the year, having been cut three times, finishing outside of the top 60 twice, and also registering four top-25 finishes. You don’t know what you’re going to get, but as the defending champ, he might be worth rolling the dice.

Emiliano Grillo ($8,500)
Many people had been waiting for Emiliano Grillo to break out this year, especially when he tied for seventh at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. However, he’s started to turn it on lately with an 11th placed finish at THE PLAYERS and then tying for 24th at the DEAN & DELUCA. If he can finish up his tournaments better (over-par on Sunday in his last two outings), he could be a threat this week.

Ollie Schniederjans ($8,300)
This is a name that many people have been throwing around as of late as Ollie Schniederjans has flirted with the top of the leaderboard a number of times already this year. However, he’s been inconsistent at the same time with some stinkers throughout the year. With that said, his ball-striking has been solid and you always like to look for young guys who could break out at big tournaments like the Memorial. He could be the one this week.
