List ended his 2021 campaign making four of his final five cuts, most notably with a T4 at the John Deere Classic and a T5 at the Barbasol. Swafford shot even par or better in 11 of these 12 rounds, and during this run, his T2G game was simply brilliant, ranking first in ball striking when we compare this field’s last 12 rounds on TOUR.Ĭombine this compelling form with Swafford’s spotless course record, and the former Georgia Bulldog is arguably the best value on the board this week. In this order, the 34-year-old closed out the 2021 season with a T37 at the Wyndham Championship, a T11 at THE NORTHERN TRUST and then a T17 at the BMW Championship. Including a T8 in 2014, Swafford has never missed a cut at Silverado in five appearances, and he returns to wine country in immaculate form. For this field, Steele ranks first in career strokes gained at Silverado, and for this event last season, he was priced all the way up at $10,000 on DraftKings. The California native owns a perfect 7/7 record at this par 72, including back-to-back wins from 2017-18. He showed some serious signs of life in his last round, gaining 2.2 strokes on APP en route to a four-under 67 at THE NORTHERN TRUST, and Steele is a true course horse at Silverado. While most will ignore Steele considering he has failed to make the cut in four of his past five starts, I will be rolling the dice on the 38-year-old at this cheap salary.
