Henrik Stenson
Price: $8,800
Over the last two months, Stenson has provided precisely zero reasons why you should trust him, as he has missed four consecutive cuts (the last being a team event). I wouldn't touch him with a Gheorghe Muresan-sized pole in cash games, but in GPP and tournament formats, he's an interesting option.
Not only should he have a low ownership percentage, but this is a good place for him to bounce back. TPC Sawgrass is a Pete Dye course, which means it generally favors accuracy over power and often requires players to club down off the tee. That's a Stenson specialty, as he ranks third on tour in strokes gained at less-than-driver courses since 2013-14. Even with his recent struggles, he still ranks ninth in the field in driving accuracy over the last 12 weeks.
Stenson's course history backs up that point. He's missed three cuts in 11 starts, but a lot of good players have missed cuts here, plus he also has a win, four Top-10's and seven Top-25's. Among active players, he's second behind only Sergio Garcia on the Players Championship all-time money list. If he's going to right the ship anytime soon, this is where he'll do it. (Getty)
