9,000-10,000

Jon Rahm ($9,800)
Rahm has been big time in Europe when he’s played there recently, winning in Spain, then posting a T5 in France and a T4 in Ireland. We know that the Spaniard can play on the level of anyone in the world. However, he has to be in form and has to keep his cool. That makes him risky, but with upside coming in droves.

Rickie Fowler ($9,700)
Tying for sixth at the Scottish Open is a good look for Fowler, who is obviously still trying to break through and win his first major of his career. He’s been playing an elite brand of golf throughout the 2018 season though, and if he can carry his Scottish form into the British Open, he could be a contender to win the Claret Jug.

Tommy Fleetwood ($9,400)
With what young Fleetwood has shown to this point in his career, it feels like he’s due to win a major championship at any moment. Why not at the course where he set the course record last year, Carnoustie? Yes, it was different then and could be a tougher task for the Englishman this week, but he could also still put low numbers on the scorecard again.

Brooks Koepka ($9,200)
How do you not like what back-to-back U.S. Open winner Brooks Koepka brings to the table. Not only has he proven at this point to be elite and adaptable in multiple areas of the game of golf, he’s also a player that started his pro career in Europe. That familiarity in addition to his obvious tools could help him be a high-scorer in DFS.

Sergio Garcia ($9,000)
It’s been all over the place for Garcia throughout this season, which perhaps is best highlighted by the fact that one of the best players in the world has missed the cut at the first two majors of the year. Though it’s been in Europe, Garcia has finishes T12 and T8 in his last two tournaments, and that might be enough for DraftKings players to think he’s turning a corner for 2018.
