Comp Results: 2/38/44/59/MC/MC
Insights: Nico enters the week in strong form after back-to-back impressive finishes, highlighted by rounds of 69-68-67-63 last week. Despite showing no strokes-gained, his recent consistency makes him a justified odds favorite for a guy who has wins in 2023 and 2024. Looking to improve on his runner-up at the Sony Open and even more important get into the Top 50 OWGR by years end to gain a Masters invite — could be the extra motivation that fuels another big performance this week. Bet against him at your will.

SG Gains:
FORM: 21/2/4/MC
Tournament Results: 17 (70-66-69-69, 2024)
Comp Results: 66
Insights: Rico returns in a promising spot this week, especially if the wind picks up and keeps scoring in check. After a solid showing last week, this setup should suit him even better. The key remains the putter — if it cooperates, he has the game to contend in this gettable field. While 22/1 feels steep for a non-winner, he’s an intriguing short-term buy for a First-Round Leader play if the price is right.

FORM: 14/3/9/14
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 27/46/MC
Insights: Thunderbear enters in excellent form with four straight top-15 finishes and seven made cuts in his last eight starts across the PGA and DP World Tours. Sitting 95th in the FedEx Cup standings, he’ll be motivated to secure his spot inside the Top 100. The main question mark is course familiarity — no top-25 finishes on similar layouts — making this a bit of a leap of faith. Still, with a win in each of the past three years and his current momentum, this could be the perfect field and setup for his long-awaited first PGA Tour victory.

Pierceson Coody

*SG Gains: OTT 2/2, APP 2/2, ARD 2/2, PUTT 1/2
*No SG for WWT and KFT start
FORM: 31/3/12/14
Tournament Results: 12 (68-69-67-69, 2024)
Comp Results: 5/16/MC/MC
Insights: Coody was an early Monday click, and for good reason. He’s in strong form with five straight finishes inside the Top 31 and six consecutive made cuts since a brief slump earlier in the season. The course, field, and comparable layouts all fit his game well, making him the type of player who can contend deep into the weekend. While 30/1 feels a touch short, the indicators are there — so I jumped in early at that number.
Doug Ghim
Odds: +6000
Stats: Top 100! exclude APP 150175 (128), SCR (115), PUTT (175), BOB (101), BOB 125150 (139), BOB 150175 (166), BOB AVG (112)

Comp Results: 14/18/40/42/46/50/65/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: The “Ghim Reaper” continues to be a reliable cut-maker but remains tough to back outright, having gained strokes in just 3 of 25 measured rounds in 2025. Still, his -16 finish last week suggests he’s trending upward, and a Top 10 isn’t out of the question. The Texas alum should feel right at home if the wind picks up, making him a sneaky play in the right conditions this week.
Mark Hubbard
Odds: +4500
Stats: Top 100! exclude TG (103), OTT (115), APP 125150 (133), APP 150175 (113), ARD (111), BOB 125150 (116), BOB 150175 (112), ER1 (147), LR2 (121)

Comp Results: 9/18/28/35/43/45/47/48/52/53/61/62/65/66/69/79/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Hubbs was a smart fade last week, even being part of the Top 10 Model but missed the cut with ease. This week, he should fare better on a course where he’s posted strong results and plenty of low rounds. Expect him to make the cut, but given his season stats and recent form, there’s no reason to overthink him for a bigger role.

FORM: 63/20/MC/26
Tournament Results: 57/39 (3 of 8 rounds in 60s, Low: 64)
Comp Results: 5/62/63/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Ben, popular pick last week, started Thursday strong but fizzled after a strong opening front nine then finishing off with three consecutive 69s and a Sunday 72. He remains a potential Thursday buy, highlighted by a low 64 at Port Royal. Triple-digit upside and DFS appeal, especially on a short course where his warm approach game can shine despite lingering putter and off-the-tee questions.
Victor Perez
Odds: +4500
Stats: Top 100! exclude APP 125150 (134), APP 200+ (138), ARD (151), ARD/SCR AVG (114), BOB 125150 (109), BOB 175200 (174)

FORM: 21/47/11/32
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 40/50/61/65/75/MC
Insights: Victor opened with back-to-back 65s before a 71 on Saturday left him playing catch-up. His irons have been sharp since July, but off-the-tee issues and a fickle putter could limit upside this week. Overall consistency is a bit shaky, but he remains a name to watch for Sunday contention if he can keep it around the greens.
Patrick Rodgers
Odds: +2800
Stats: Top 100! exclude APP (116), GIR (117), APP 125150 (110), APP 200+ (124), PROX (102), BOB 125150 (161), P5 (102)

Comp Results: 2/10/10/14/17/28/29/33/35/38/44/45/52/57/57/74/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: PRod has no strokes-gained data to show his full strength the last two starts, but rounds of 67-65-67-64 demonstrate he’s golfing exceptionally well, regardless of the course. With little Sunday pressure beyond a potential Top 5, he’s expected to come out firing low Thursday. Strong course history and comparable success at RSM made him a solid Monday click at 30/1.
Kevin Roy
Odds: +7000
Stats: Top 100! exclude APP 150175 (121), BOB 150175 (149), BOB 175200 (136)

FORM: MC/60/40/18
Tournament Results: 8/MC (4 of 6 rounds in 60s, Low: 64)
Comp Results: 46/46/MC
Insights: Roy GOAT, missed the cut at WWT with rounds of 70-72. His off-the-tee success will be rewarded this week, but his irons have been ice cold since July. With mixed course history, limited exposure makes sense again this week.
Alex Smalley
Odds: +5000

Comp Results: 5/27/40/44/65/MC/MC/MC/MC/WD
Insights: Smalley’s game is struggling: not gaining on the greens in last four starts, hasn’t gained around the green in eight straight, and only gaining with irons in three of the last ten. Off-the-tee will give him consideration from the community and a week off will be a new flavor this week. Clubhouse suggestion save him for next week’s RSM, where he has a 5th-place finish.
Kris Ventura

FORM: 27/11/21/MC
Tournament Results: MC/41 (1 of 6 rounds in 60s, Low: 67)
Comp Results: 16/MC/MC
Insights: Ace Ventura opened strong with a 64 to give Champ some early tournament sweat as his outright but was downhill from there in route to not finishing in the Top 25 even with three out of four rounds in the 60s. Limited course history and even fewer positive takeaways, he’s best viewed as a short-term or matchup play rather than an outright contender this week.

Tournament Results: MC/30/3 (6 of 10 rounds in 60s, Low: 63)
Comp Results: 11/32/54/61/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Yuuuuu struggled last week, failing to break 70 in either round, largely due to a cold approach game; however, his strong off-the-tee play and a steadier putter should help this week. Over the last 36 rounds, he’s shown better gains, making him a more contrarian option compared to other top names in the 10K range. 5th in the field on short, coastal Bermuda-style tracks, making him a solid pick in both DFS and their are worse bets outrights on the board.
