Justin Thomas
Price: $8,900
Thomas has three wins, six Top-10's and eight Top-25's this season. That's good. He also has three missed cuts, all of which have come since the start of February. That's not so good. The talented 24-year-old is a pretty big risk/reward option, but there are a few things that make me feel comfortable trusting him here.
First, he seems to to relish the task of taking on the world's best players. He finished 23rd at the WGC-HSBC Championship, won the SBS Tournament of Champions, tied for fifth at the WGC-Mexico and finished 22nd at the Masters. If it's a strong field like this one, he tends to make his way towards the leaderboard.
Second, he clearly enjoys TPC Sawgrass. He has finishes of 24th and third in his two starts here, he has carded a 65 twice (the course record is 63), and he leads the field in birdie or better percentage at this track. (Getty)
