Players
Scottie Scheffler: 12500: +400 - The best golfer in the world, has dominated small no cut events this year, 7,1,41,1,2,8,1,1,2,1,1,10,3,6,17,5 finishes this season, 1st in Approach, 1st in SG: OTT, 3rd in Good Drives Gained, 7th in Fairways Gained, 3rd in Par 3 Scoring, 1st in Par 4 Scoring, 1st in Par 5 Scoring, 7th in SG: ARG, 16th in Putting, 1st in Opportunities Gained, 1st in Birdie+ Gained, 2nd in Bogey Avoidance, I think the price is good considering he really only has to beat half of this small field
