Above $10,000

Dustin Johnson ($11,300): This was one of the toughest decisions. You can’t play everyone at the top of the pricing and between Johnson and Rory McIlroy you have two of the hottest players on the planet. I wouldn’t fault anyone for going with McIlroy with how he has been playing. I am leaning DJ for the price discount and in case it gets windy out there, where I give him the edge over McIlroy.

Justin Rose ($10,800): Rose comes in off a so-so performance at the WGC Match Play. Before that tourney though he was playing outstanding golf. That paired with his course history at Augusta, he is lining up to be a fantastic play. He hasn’t finished worse than 14th at The Masters in his last five tries with a T12, 2, T10, T2, and T14 finishes since 2014.

$9,000-$9,999

Rickie Fowler ($9,700): A fan favorite, I expect Fowler to be fairly highly owned. He finished second here last year and almost caught eventual winner Patrick Reed if not for some clutch putting by Reed. Fowler is coming in only 39th in tee-to-green in the field in the last 24 rounds, but has gained the fifth most strokes since 2014 at The Masters. This seems like a great spot for his first major win.

Bryson DeChambeau ($9,300): DeChambeau is a player who can get hot and stay hot anytime he tees it up. He also has four wins since last years Masters. This tournament won’t be too big for him and when he is in contention he is a proven closer.

Paul Casey ($9,000): Coming off of a win at The Valspar and a good showing at the match play, Casey is coming in with good form. He ranks ninth in SG:T2G in the field in the last 24 rounds. Casey also has a great history with finishes of T15, 6, T4 and T6 in the last four years.
