The Outlook
If you looked at Garcia's play since he won the Masters last year, it would be hard to get excited about investing in the Spaniard. Even recently, he's missed four of his past five PGA Tour event cuts, which included the U.S. Open and Masters. All that said, Garcia is one of the best links players in the world, and he has immaculate history at the British Open, including three top-six finishes in his past five appearances. He has more top-fives than missed cuts during his career. That's hard to ignore, especially since he'll be unpopular in DFS given his poor play of late.
