9,000-10,000

Billy Horschel ($9,700)
There’s a lot of intrigue about Horschel coming into this tournament, starting with the fact that he’s playing well right now. He has three-straight made cuts that include two finishes of T11 or better. What’s more, he’s the defending champion at this event, hence why his price is this high.

Jimmy Walker ($9,500)
Walker is a player whose career has shown quite a bit of inconsistency, but he’s simply hot right now. After tying for 20th at The Masters, he then finished fourth at the Valero Texas Open before posting a T2 at THE PLAYERS. He’s somewhat expensive, but well worth it if he keeps that level of play going.

Branden Grace ($9,400)
Grace has yet to miss a cut this season, which is always comforting when you’re playing DraftKings as you can surely count on scoring throughout the weekend if he’s in your lineup. What’s more, his T46 at THE PLAYERS was the first time he’s finished outside the top 40 in his last 10 showings. That’s consistency and value.

Adam Scott ($9,200)
After struggling (by his standards) for a good portion of the season, Adam Scott finally started looking like himself for a large part of THE PLAYERS, ultimately coming in at T11 when it was all said and done. We know what he’s capable of at his best and he may be rounding into that form.

Marc Leishman ($9,100)
Leishman’s last two tournaments aren’t great for his prospects. He missed the cut at the RBC Heritage before going T63 at THE PLAYERS. However, he still has four top-10 finishes in his last 10 tournaments and also finished T13 at last year’s AT&T Byron Nelson. Subsequently, he could be worth the price here.
