David Lingmerth — $7,900

Never known for his consistency, this Swede has actually been getting steady results over the past few weeks. That means that there’s no time to invest in Lingmerth like the present — when he’s on, the 29-year-old is one of the more dangerous players on the PGA TOUR.

With four top-25 finishes in his last five starts, Lingmerth’s game has really come around as the days have gotten longer. His results during that stretch include a tie for 12th at Colonial as well as a tie for 15th at Muirfield Village, so he should be ready for the total test he’ll face at TPC River Highlands this week. His two previous starts in this event didn’t net him any big checks, but he’s never entered with his form as solid as it is right now. At 28th on the PGA TOUR in strokes gained: putting, he’s going to make birdies — it’s just a question of how long they’ll be.

At $7,900 in DraftKings, Lingmerth is available at a very reasonable salary, especially for a player who’s gotten such consistent recent results. His negative history at the Travelers Championship is a bit concerning, but two starts isn’t much of a sample size to work with. Something will give this week.
