Comp Results: 2/4/9/26/42/43/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Smoke is a rightful betting favorite this week as he holds one of the stronger stat profiles in the field and coming in with strong form. Though his history around CC of Jackson is underwhelming, his elite approach play, birdie-making ability, and trending results suggest a better outcome this week and not a terrible pick from the top of the board.

Insights: DT is a strong ball-striker who is has 4 Top 25 finishes in his last 7 starts and starting to get back to the level that led him to winning the John Deere back in 2024. Sanderson history is respectable but could of been better if not for the flat sick letting him down in each start. Buy long term stock with DT and always worth a short term buy this week as well.
Kevin Yu

Comp Results: 31/45/50/MC
Insights: Defending champ without a doubt fits this course like a glove but an encore won’t come easy. Recent form shows plenty of free time on the weekends even though off the tee numbers are consistent gains. Clubhouse would like to see better recent approach numbers and expects Yu GOAT to not gain over 2 strokes on with the putter which he needed for the win last year. Weaker field so many will click but clubhouse suggests a pivot to other namers in DFS and betting cards.

Comp Results: 24/34/44/51/73/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Hodges brings a balanced stat profile but putting is a concern. His Sanderson history is steady but unspectacular without a Top 20 finish. At long odds, he offers upside with his consistent approach numbers and could make a run with a solid week on the greens. Volatility for sure but exactly what can cash you a big DFS ticket.
Rico Hoey

FORM: 9/67/57/8
Sanderson Results: 68 (68-70-72-76, 2024)
Comp Results: 6/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Ricoooo continues to flush it but the flat stick continues to drag him down. His Sanderson sample is small, with a T68 last year, but his recent finishes show he is more than capable of popping on Thursday and carrying it through the full 72 holes. If Yu can find it on these greens, clubhouse has faith Rico can do the same.
Max Homa

Comp Results: 1/8/8/21/24/25/42/60/76/MC/MC/MC
Insights: After a putrid start to 2025, the clubhouse is starting to see shades of green on the strokes gained charts for Max. Not only gaining OTT in 4 straight but 6 straight on approach is exactly the uptick the clubhouse needs to start investing capital. Yes the course history is not good but anytime you mention Quail Hollow as a course or comp, the clubhouse ears start to perk up. Don’t go overboard on exposure this week, but especially in this field, is a great option for DFS and a mid-tier betting option with plenty of upside on the weekend.
Mark Hubbard

FORM: 38/3/61/35

Comp Results: 2/12/13/18/19/27/35/48/51/52/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Hubbs profile leans on solid approach play and a reliable putter, with consistent SG gains across the board. His Sanderson record includes two Top 10s in last 3 years. Recent form is mixed, but his statistical fit and course history make him a sneaky value in placement markets. 45/1 in this field is borderline fair but question will be can he get it over the line for the first time. First round leader and match-up markets are safer shorter buys but clubhouse could circle worse tracks for a first time winner.
Chan Kim

FORM: MC/MC/MC/MC
Sanderson Results: 33 (67-67-70-70, 2024)
Comp Results: 8/17/19/MC
Insights: Clubhouse loves a good Jackie Chan Kim week and it could be a boom week, but even the clubhouse knows its a hard sell this week with 11 missed cuts in his last 13 starts. DFS flyer at best but even that smells funky. Other great action figures out there this week even though 150/1 matches with odds winners at the Country Club of Jackson.
Ben Kohles

Sanderson Results: 16/MC (3 last 6 Rds in 60s, Low: 67 3 times)
Comp Results: 20/25/42/58/78/MC/MC/MC/MC/WD
Insights: Kohles approach numbers peak the interest of the clubhouse and patrons alike. Yes the liability is the flat stick but he has managed to gain twice in 5 starts around The Country Club of Jackson. T16 here last year along with sold OTT and app numbers there are worse DFS plays on the board. 55/1 is a bit short for clubhouse liking but exposure in match-ups and 3 Balls are more than acceptable.

Sanderson Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 2/13/MC
Insights: Chef is cooking up his first dish in his debut at the Sanderson this week. That said, he has been dishing up Michelin performance on the DP World Tour in September with a T5 at the FedEx Open de France and T11 at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. Another player with a wide range of outcomes this week, but clubhouse leans for more exquisite dishes or run of the mill fast food even though a quick start could be on the menu. Grab a plate and dig in!
Henrik Norlander
Odds: +8000

Comp Results: 12/13/13/16/30/38/45/47/51/65/71/81/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Exact type of field and tournament where Henrik usually shows up on the leaderboard. Perhaps for a short stint or a lengthy stay, the clubhouse is intrigued either way. Sanderson record speaks for itself with four Top 30s and three Top 5s, including two T4 finishes. His recent form is poor, but at 80/1 with that course history he is worth a sprinkle of exposure at minimum.
J.T. Poston

Comp Results: 5/11/26/55/60/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: JTP hit a rough patch on the way to the mailbox during the middle of the year but his play to end the season and his two FedEx Cup playoff starts show the game is trending nicely. Question will be did the break (hasn’t played in 7 weeks!) come at an inopportune time or now will a reset is ready to take that game to the winner circle. Sanderson track record says put your trust in him this week to deliver on Thursday and Sunday.

Sanderson Results: 37/MC/53 (2 of 10 Rds in 60s, Low: 64)
Comp Results: 17/51/67/MC/MC/MC
Insights: First Round Leader at last year’s tournament, Skinns at 100/1 will be a popular option this week based on clubhouse outlook. Add in a Top 10 at the Cuda and 5 straight weeks of approach gains. Clubhouse doesn’t mind a 100/1 outright on your card but limit expectations and use more bankroll on matchups and short term buys.
Alex Smalley
Odds: +3500

Sanderson Results: 5/16/MC/31 (9 of 14 Rds in 60s, Low: 63 twice)
Comp Results: 6/10/18/28/47/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: The case for is clear: Top 5 here last year with a closing 63, ranks in the top quartile of this field across numerous metrics. His profile suggests the type of game that could eventually break through with a win. The case against is equally strong: five missed cuts in his last eight starts, coupled with significant losses in approach, around-the-green, and putting and only a handful of top 5 finishes the last two seasons. Smalley is pure boom-or-bust, and at 35/1 the risk outweighs the value with steadier options available.
