8,000-9,000

Henrik Stenson ($8,800)
Though Stenson hasn’t played since The Masters, he’s on a bit of a heater right now as he enters THE PLAYERS Championship. His last three finishes are fourth, T6 and T5, the last one coming at Augusta. He could be good to go for this week.

Patrick Reed ($8,700)
Speaking of hot streaks, we have The Masters winner here in Reed and he’s been playing incredibly well overall of late. He has four consecutive top-10 finishes to his credit, including The Masters victory and a T2 at the Valspar. Great value here for DraftKings.

Tiger Woods ($8,600)
The complete picture for Tiger hasn’t really taken form just yet, but he’s been able to make all cuts but one this season. What’s more, he’s shown enough good things to make you wonder how well he could play if he puts everything together for a weekend. A fun flyer this weekend.

Phil Mickelson ($8,400)
Paired with Woods on Thursday and Friday, we could see Mickelson get some fire in his game, which could be dangerous considering how well he’s played at times this season, even coming off of a T5 finish at the Wells Fargo.

Bryson DeChambeau ($8,300)
We’ve always seen the tinkering DeChambeau have flashes, but never quite put it together. Well, in his last four outings, he has three top-five finishes and a top-40 at The Masters. I’d say that’s putting it together, but it’s also why his price has ballooned a bit.

Tommy Fleetwood ($8,200)
I don’t like missing the cut last week at the Wells Fargo, but that’s Fleetwood’s first miss in 16 outings this season, and he does have seven top-10 finishes to his credit this year. Thus, it’s hard to discount him.

Francesco Molinari ($8,100)
Molinari hasn’t been that great this season, but he’s a player who has long shown flashes. More importantly, he’s traditionally played very well at THE PLAYERS with strong showings. Thus, he deserves inclusion among these picks.
