Targeting Pure Value in a No-Cut Setting
It’s four rounds of chaos, stat-nerdery, and hopefully a cash-out that buys more than gas and gum. With no one getting sent home early, every player gets a full 72 holes to earn fantasy points — making high-variance, high-upside golfers more viable and low-ceiling duds even more dangerous.
💸 Best Value Golfers
These guys are producing the most DraftKings points per $1,000 of salary over the last 36 rounds:
| Player | Salary | Avg DK Points | Value (Pts per $1K) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brian Campbell | $6,000 | 70.84 | 11.81 |
| Ryan Gerard | $6,600 | 77.10 | 11.68 |
| Max Greyserman | $6,600 | 76.32 | 11.56 |
| J.T. Poston | $7,200 | 78.07 | 10.84 |
| Joe Highsmith | $6,100 | 67.63 | 11.09 |
| Garrick Higgo | $6,100 | 74.20 | 12.16 |
| Lucas Glover | $6,600 | 75.79 | 11.48 |
| Akshay Bhatia | $7,100 | 75.29 | 10.60 |
📊 Note: These aren’t just benchwarmers with inflated averages — most of these players are quietly gaining strokes in the right places: approach play, tee-to-green, and birdie-or-better percentage (all of which matter more in no-cut formats).
🔎 Top GPP Plays (High Upside Targets)
🔥 J.T. Poston ($7,200)
A top-5 birdie-maker over his last 36 rounds. His putter on Bentgrass is legally classified as a flamethrower in 14 states.
🔥 Akshay Bhatia ($7,100)
Ranks top-10 in SG: Approach and shows spike-week potential with irons. If he heats up, he can rack up DK scoring like he’s on a power play.
🔥 Garrick Higgo ($6,100)
Sneaky bomber with elite DraftKings point upside. He’s the golf version of the $2 scratcher that wins you $500.
🔥 Lucas Glover ($6,600)
You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but the man is a fantasy points vending machine — lots of pars, low bogey rate, and streak potential.
🔥 Sepp Straka ($8,700)
An elite ball striker who’s underpriced relative to form. While others chase names, you chase numbers.
😬 Lower-Upside Fades (Based on DK Production / Salary)
We’re not saying don’t play them. We’re just saying you might be lighting some of your salary cap on fire. In a no-cut format, we want point chasers, not par squatters.
🧊 Matt Fitzpatrick ($6,800)
Averaging just 55.2 DK points — not great even for this price. Statistically allergic to birdie streaks.
🧊 Max Homa ($6,500)
Hasn’t shown much juice lately. If you’re playing a narrative like “he’s due,” you’re doing religion, not math.
🧊 Cameron Young ($6,200)
Boom-or-bust type who’s mostly been busting. At this price there are better ways to YOLO.
🧊 Justin Rose ($7,600)
DK scoring profile looks more like a cash-game safety blanket. Not ideal when you need fire.
🧠 Strategy Tip for No-Cut Events:
Focus on birdie makers, eagle chances, and volatile ball-strikers. No one can MC their way out of scoring, so you want players who can post a 60-point day on Sunday, even if they slept through Friday.
