$7,000 and below

Harris English ($7,000)
Harris English has made the cut in four of his last five events, including tying for 22nd last week and tying for 10th at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. His driver has been his downfall this season, but the course at The Greenbrier should allow him to use the other strengths of his game without that being much of a worry.

Stewart Cink ($6,900)
Stewart Cink has looked the part of a veteran this season. He’s made the cut in his last four tournaments, which included two tied for 10th finishes and another top-25 showing. He’ll be heavily owned on DraftKings given that and his price, but it’s not hard to see why.

Braden Thornberry ($6,900)
The defending NCAA individual champion, Braden Thornberry has appeared only once as an amateur this year, tying for fourth at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. He’s a terrific young player with a big game and strong putter. I like the gamble with Thornberry here.

Nick Taylor ($6,700)
The fact that Nick Taylor is priced this low is near criminal. The Canadian has played quite well this season, making eight of the last 10 cuts and 13-of-17 this year. What’s more, he has three top-10 finishes this season and was tied for 29th last week. He’s a strong player and this price is far too low.

Cameron Tringdale ($6,500)
Despite being cut last week and no finishes inside the top 35 in his past three tournaments, Cameron Tringdale has played well this year. He’s made the cut in four of his last five tournaments, including one of his two top-10s of the year.

Seamus Power ($6,400)
Seamus Power has made the cut in five of his last six tournaments, which surely works in his favor, especially with a decent enough showing (T38) last week in a tough Quicken Loans tournament. At this price, he’s worthy of consideration with that kind of consistency.

Joel Dahmen ($6,300)
Despite the fact that he finished tied for 62nd the last time out (Travelers), Joel Dahmen had two-straight top-20 finishes prior to that tournament. That form is somewhat of an outlier for him this season, but makes him intriguing nonetheless.

Mackenzie Hughes ($6,300)
Registering a top-10 finish early in the year and having made three consecutive cuts, Mackenzie Hughes is an interesting DraftKings value. This is strengthened by his tied for 17th finish at the Travelers Championship. At this price, he’s a potential flyer.

John Daly ($6,000)
Chances are, you don’t want John Daly in your lineup if you want to win. But wouldn’t you feel awesome if he did play well and you had him?
