$9,000-$10,000

Paul Casey ($9,700)
A poor showing on the weekend cost Paul Casey a top-25 finish at the U.S. Open (he came in at 26th). However, he’s still been playing quite well this season overall. He’s missed just one cut all season, and has six top-25 finishes in his last 10 tournaments. What’s more, Casey has three top-12 finishes in his last five outings and all have been 26th or better. With that and a great history at the Travelers, this is a great look for him coming into the week.

Patrick Reed ($9,500)
Captain America could’ve finished better than the solid tied-13th showing he had at the U.S. Open had he not struggled in the final round. Even still, Patrick Reed has made 14-of-17 cuts this season with two top-10 finishes. What’s more, he has three finishes of tied-22nd or better in his last four tournaments. We’ve seen Reed when he gets hot, and it’s hard to bet against him when that’s the case. Thus, I wouldn’t bet against him this week.

Brandt Snedeker ($9,400)
It feels like we’re not talking about Brandt Snedeker enough, but we probably should at some point. He just finished tied for ninth at the U.S. Open, which is his fifth top-10 finish on the PGA Tour already this season. He’s got the putter working well for him right now and he’s simply been a great all-around player right now. He’s a sleeper winner pick for me at the Travelers, which makes him a nice DraftKings play.

Daniel Berger ($9,100)
Fresh off winning the FedEx St. Jude Classic, Daniel Berger laid a dud at the U.S. Open as he was cut at 9-over par. With that being said, the youngster has still been a solid player for much of the year. He has three top-10 finishes and hadn’t missed a cut since early March prior to playing at Erin Hills. What’s more, he has the solid type of game that should be rewarded this week at the Travelers.
