7,000 and below

C.T. Pan ($7,000)
Overall, Pan hasn’t been the most impressive golfer on tour this season. However, he’s made 19-of-26 cuts and is now a bit hot, having tied for second at the Wyndham last week to cap off a stretch of five-straight top-40 showings that includes three top-20s and two top-15s.

Chris Kirk ($6,800)
Kirk has already played 25 times this year and has parlayed that into making the cut 21 times. That’s impressive value in itself, but he also has four top-10 finishes, including tying for 11th last week at the Wyndham, part of five top-25 showings in his last 10 outings.

Joel Dahmen ($6,800)
Dahmen’s T54 at the Barracuda Championship last time out is less than ideal, but he came in off of four-straight top-15 finishes previously. There’s risk, but more than enough upside to make him a nice option at this price.

Abraham Ancer ($6,700)
While it has been disappointingly inconsistent for Ancer at times this year, his upside on DraftKings is huge. Four top-10s is nothing to scoff at, and he’s coming in after finishing fifth at the Canadian Open and T24 at the Wyndham in his last two outings.

Andrew Putnam ($6,600)
Putnam went T8 at the Canadian Open before going out and winning at the Barracuda Championship at the beginning of August. Unfortunately, he also went T59 at the PGA after and finished 79th in the John Deere before. He’s a wildcard, but with big upside.

Jhonattan Vegas ($6,400)
The play of Vegas lately hasn’t been much to inspire confidence, but he has proven to step up in certain moments. One such moment last year was at The Northern Trust when he went top five. Maybe it happens again this year?

Keith Mitchell ($6,300)
Mitchell is nothing more than a flyer if you need exceptionally cheap players to fill out the bottom of your lineup. Having said that, he’s made eight of his last 10 cuts with two top-10s in that stretch, so there is upside.
