Top guys to avoid
Dustin Johnson: $12,000 Yes, I know, I'm being a big old Johnny Raincloud with this one. He just won the Northern Trust, and he's probably on a hot streak, but that salary is ASTOUNDINGLY high. Spieth is even higher at 12.1K, which is preposterous. DJ is great, but if I'm spending that on him, I expect an automatic victory. Unfortunately, I do not see that coming from him this week.
Guy Who will blow your cap but is worth it
John Rahm: $10,600 This isn't totally blowing your entire cap, but he is a good chunk of change. I played him last week at a much lower number, and he ended up doing wonders for me (the rest of my picks, well, that's another story). Rahm has had a great year with his only real hiccup at the US Open, and I think he will continue his great form and hopefully climb the rankings!
Great value picks
Keegan Bradley - $7,600
Am I putting Keegs up here just because he is from New England? Yes, yes I am. But also because he has completely turned his year around since June. Since being cut at the Memorial, he has not missed a single cut and has 2 top 10s. He has put up some pretty good performances over the past 3 months, and since he is very familiar with this course, I would expect him to do very well. Plus, the value of $7,600 is too good to pass up.
Kevin Kisner - $7,700
Another guy who has had a great year year with 6 top 10s and only 2 missed cuts all year. He had a great PGA Championship this month and has continually been competitive in every tournament since the Greenbriar. Overall, I think this could be a huge week for Kiz, and I am hoping he can bring that bulldog state of mind to Boston.
