Sung Kang — $7,400

Si Woo Kim may have won THE PLAYERS Championship on Sunday, but he’s not the only South Korean who’s been making noise on the PGA Tour of late. Thanks to his red-hot putting, Kang has been enjoying consistent success this season, so there’s no doubt that he belongs on our fantasy radar for this week’s event.

Kang enters this week on a wave of four consecutive top 30 finishes, so his form has been pretty good. That stretch includes a solo second at the Shell Houston Open and a tie for sixth at the Valero Texas Open, so he’s obviously been enjoying his time in the Lone Star State; with any luck, that Texas success will continue at the AT&T Byron Nelson. He’s made only one previous start at this event, but now that he’s got some experience with the course, he shouldn’t have any trouble improving on last year’s tie for 34th.

While others faltered at THE PLAYERS Championship, Kang maintained a bit of momentum by tying for 30th, so it will be interesting to see what he does next. Available for just $7,400 in DraftKings, his form makes him worthy of an investment, even if the course history is a question mark.
