9,000-10,000

Rickie Fowler ($9,600)

While Fowler’s form has been somewhat inconsistent this season, he’s been exceptional more often than not this year. He had a solid T21 last week at the Wells Fargo, which followed up his runner-up finish at The Masters. While his work at THE PLAYERS has been somewhat up and down throughout his career, the value on DraftKings fantasy golf could be quite good.

Jon Rahm ($9,300)
Quietly, Jon Rahm has seemingly started following up a phenomenal rookie season on the PGA Tour with another great year. He’s made his last 10 cuts, hasn’t finished outside of the top 30 in his last nine starts, and has five top-10 finishes on the season to his credit. With his last two finishes being fourth (Masters) and a win at the Open de Espana, he’s a nice play.

Justin Rose ($9,100)

The eight top-10 finishes to this point in the season for Justin Rose is certainly enticing, but he’s cooled at least slightly from where he was early in the year. His last tournament was The Masters where he finished T12 and went T52 at the Houston Open the week before. There’s more risk here than there might seem, but he could still be worth the play.

Sergio Garcia ($9,000)

It looked as if Sergio Garcia was about to have another big year, but his last two outings haven’t inspired much confidence. He’s missed his last two cuts at the Valero Texas Open and The Masters. We know the talent and experience of Garcia and that makes him interesting, but he’s only mentioned really because of the lack of options at this price point.
