Editor’s Note: We may not write up every player we consider to be a top play. Be sure to consult the chart at the bottom of the page. This article will update to reflect any injury or weather news.

DFS OPTIMIZER: If you are looking for a DFS optimizer, we have two options for ETR subscribers. Both of these products will sync automatically with ETR content (projections, ownership, etc.) if you already have an ETR golf subscription. Use the following links for full details about each product: THESOLVER (Optimizer + Bankroll Tracker) & Fantasy Labs (Optimizer).

Below, you will find the players we consider the best for the slate. These do NOT account for ownership, but they do account for salary. In other words, Jon Rahm could be our No. 1 play in the high range… but he could also be a bad tournament play because he projects for 60% ownership in an extreme example.

This article is for cash games (contests in which roughly 50% of the field gets paid out, such as a head-to-head or double-up). For tournaments, our focus should be more on the projected ownership and projected ceiling columns in our projections table.

With that said, these are our Top Plays considering the following factors: median projection, lower volatility, upside, and value. They are listed in price descending order. At the bottom, you’ll find suggested rankings by site once salary is accounted for.

HIGH-PRICED

Cameron Young ($10,100 DK, $12,100 FD) – Fresh off his victory at Doral, Young checks in as our top overall value on DraftKings at $10.1K this week, stringing together a 2026 campaign that rivals Matt Fitzpatrick ($9,900) for best on Tour. Over his last six starts, he’s booked two wins, two T3s, a T7, and a T25 finish, gaining strokes Off-the-Tee and on Approach in all six starts, only losing strokes Around-the-Green and Putting once each. Over the last three months, that leaves him second in this field OTT, 14th on Approach, 18th ARG, and 12th in Putting. It’s a strong all-around game that’s come together at the right time for Young at another course that should suit his skill set of driving distance and strong long-iron play.
