Jon Rahm has been in excellent form this season, posting strong results on LIV, including five straight top-10 finishes. He looks to continue this momentum at The Masters, where he has never missed a cut in his eight appearances and has recorded five top-10 finishes, including winning the green jacket in 2023. During that victory, Rahm gained over 14.6 strokes from tee to green, an area he has once again dominated this year, ranking fifth on LIV, gaining 1.47 strokes per round. While Rahm's game doesn't have many flaws, he did struggle with his putter at Augusta last year, losing over 3.6 strokes. However, he's made adjustments, switching out his old putter, and he is now ranked eighth on LIV in strokes gained putting, gaining 0.67 strokes per round. Rahm is in outstanding form and will be a strong contender for his second green jacket. Fantasy managers can confidently roster him at his $10,400 price tag on DraftKings.

Jon Rahm emerged victorious at the recent LIV United Kingdom, marking his first win at a LIV event this season. This follows his commendable performance at The Open Championship, where he secured a tie for seventh-place finish just two weeks prior. Notably, Rahm has consistently delivered top-10 finishes in his last four events. A noteworthy statistic is Rahm's remarkable ranking in the 99th percentile for greens in regulation percentage from approach shots of 150-200 yards in the fairway over the past 12 months. With his exceptional form, Rahm appears poised to be a highly valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Jon Rahm (foot) has withdrawn from the upcoming 2024 U.S. Open. Rahm made the announcement on social media via his X account, stating in part, "After consulting with numerous doctors and my team, I have decided it is best for my long-term health to withdraw from this week's U.S. Open Championship". ESPN's Marty Smith reported that Rahm is dealing with a sore on his left foot, and the Spaniard was visibly in pain at times during last week's LIV Houston event. Formerly the world's top-ranked golfer, Rahm made the jump to LIV ahead of the 2024 season and has not been a factor in either of this year's major championships.

As if the bad play in non-LIV events wasn't enough to have cause for concern about playing Jon Rahm (foot) in fantasy lineups, his recent withdrawal from the Saudi League's event in Houston with an infection in his left foot should. The Spaniard has still not secured a victory on his new circuit and has a T45 and a missed cut to his name in the year's first two majors. To say the move to the breakaway league has not been as fruitful as many suspected for Rahm is a massive understatement. With a $10,900 price tag on FanDuel, he is undoubtedly the riskiest play at the top of the board with little hope of getting a positive return for DFS players.
