8,000-7,000

Bubba Watson ($8,000) Despite the fact that Watson’s putting has been spotty this season, he’s still put together some good finishes as of late, including T4 at the Valspar and T12 at The Masters. With his driving ability, he could play well here and make some noise.

Phil Mickelson ($8,000) Mickelson’s recent form doesn’t warrant him being in your DraftKings lineup for the PGA Championship, but the fans in New York love him and he finished T2 here at the 2009 U.S. Open. Lefty might have some magic in store for us this week.

Sergio Garcia ($7,900) Sergio disappointed at The Masters in a big way, but bounced back his last time out with a T4 at the Wells Fargo. He’s an enigma — we all know this. But if Garcia is ready to roll at Bethpage Black, you have to like his chances.

Gary Woodland ($7,700) Woodland was on fire early in the season, but has cooled off quite a bit. Having said that, his big-hitting nature off the tee suits Bethpage quite well and, if he can capitalize, he has the chance to make some serious noise in the second major of the year.

Ian Poulter ($7,600) No missed cuts this season, six top-10 finishes and a T12 showing at The Masters, Poulter always seems to be solid value in big tournaments and the PGA Championship certainly qualifies. He could be a good hand to have in your lineup.

Webb Simpson ($7,600) Other than missing the cut at the Valspar, Simpson has had a nice season thus far with no other finish worse than T39 in his last 10 starts with seven top-20 finishes over that stretch. He won’t be a long-hitter that Bethpage calls for often, but he can still put forth a solid showing.

Joel Dahmen ($7,300) After a string of missed cuts early in the year, Dahmen has played well of late. He’s been in the top 30 in five of his last six starts, including a second-place showing at the Wells Fargo the last time that he played.

Lucas Glover ($7,300) Glover has been a sneaky solid hand this season, even if his recent form isn’t the greatest, having four top-10s and only three missed cuts this season. Moreover, he won the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage, meaning he should be at home here this week.

Si Woo Kim ($7,200) Kim missed the cut at the RBC Heritage, but has played well overall this season, including a T4 at the Valero Texas Open and a T21 at The Masters. He’s always capable of going low and could be worth a flier at Bethpage in DraftKings.

Sung Kang ($7,200) We have seen up and down play from Kang throughout this season, but he showed his peak form last week at the Byron Nelson with four rounds in the 60s, including a blistering 61 on Friday. If that form continues, he can make some noise at a great value price.

Emiliano Grillo ($7,100) While Grillo hasn’t been playing at his best this season, he has been a cut-making machine (11-of-12) this season and finished T2 at the 2016 Barclays at Bethpage Black. That could be good for him in the PGA Championship.
