The Outlook
Fowler is one of the best players without a major, although he's been close many times. He has at least two top-five finishes in all four majors, and he's been in the top five in two of the past four PGA Championships.
Rickie has a brilliant all-around game and is one of the best par-4 scorers on tour; that bodes well for this week at Bellerive. His to-win odds aren't a great value, but he's an intriguing DFS play, especially if users gravitate toward DJ or Rory.
