9,000-10,000

Justin Rose ($9,900)
I’m honestly not sure how Justin Rose isn’t in the top tier for the 2018 U.S. Open given how he’s played throughout this season. He’s been that good with no missed cuts, 10 top-10 finishes in only 15 tournaments played and three wins to boot. He’s one of the favorites to win at Shinnecock and rightfully so with the form that the Englishman is in this season.

Jon Rahm ($9,500)
Rahm seemed to take himself out of the U.S. Open mentally last year, getting way to frustrated with himself. He’s still fiery, but he’s been a bit more in-control in that regard throughout this season thus far. His talent at this point is completely undeniable and, if he keeps his head straight, he could be a contender to win his first major championship and a nice DraftKings play.

Tiger Woods ($9,200)
While everyone is still waiting on Tiger Woods to win again, they might be missing the fact that he’s still been playing quite well throughout his comeback. He has only missed one cut to this point in the year, and has only two finishes worse than T32 throughout his season. If he can get the putter going at the U.S. Open, he could very well be looking at major win No. 15.

Brooks Koepka ($9,000)
After battling with injuries, the defending champion at the U.S. Open has regained his form a great deal in recent tournaments. He went T11 at THE PLAYERS, finished second at the Fort Worth, and then was still solid at the St. Jude with T30, though a bad final round made that worse than his overall weekend looked. He’ll be defending his title and could make real noise at Shinnecock.
