$7,000 and below

Scott Brown ($7,000)
Scott Brown’s recent inconsistency is problematic as he’s missed five of his last eight cuts. With that said, he’s played the John Deere Classic quite well throughout his career. Thus, I like the potential that he brings to the table here.

Michael Kim ($6,900)
Considering his price, Michael Kim has been relatively consistent in 2017, making 13-of-18 cuts this season. What’s better, he’s also notched two-straight top-35 finishes and finished strong last week. Thus, this might be a steal in terms of price.

Sebastian Munoz ($6,800)
Given how Sebastian Munoz played to start last week at the Greenbrier, it’s hard to not mention him. Yes, he choked his lead with a final round 72, but he showed nice promise that he could potentially capitalize on.

Jonathan Randolph ($6,800)
Two-straight top-30 finishes for Jonathan Randolph are strong for his case as a pick on DraftKings. What’s more, he has three more in that range over his last 10 tournaments, including a top-10 finish. He’s been inconsistent, but has nice value.

Jonathan Byrd ($6,800)
Jonathan Byrd has only played in two PGA Tour events this season, making both cuts, but finishing outside of the top 50. With that said, he’s played quite well on the Web.com Tour this year and could be a sleeper.

Alex Cejka ($6,700)
Coming into last week, Alex Cejka had just one finish in the top 50 in his last nine tournaments. Yet, he used a blazing 64 in the final round at the Greenbrier to tie for ninth. Can he keep that up this week?

Brandon Hagy ($6,700)
It’s been a mixed bag of late for Brandon Hagy. He’s missed four of his last 10 cuts, but at the same time has two finishes in the top 20 and five inside of the top 35 over that same span. Coming off tying for 18th at the Greenbrier last week, let’s hope he shows up well this week.

Peter Malnati ($6,700)
After missing a ton of cuts early in the season, Peter Malnati has played much better of late. He’s made his last five cuts. Even better, he’s finished in the top 40 in the past two weeks. He’s a strong value play here.

Cody Gribble ($6,500)
Gribble is the last-ditch, super-cheap option if you should need it that you should be playing. Though he’s missed 11 cuts this season, his overall scoring average has been solid and he could put together a nice week.
