Comp Results: 5/25/44/MC/MC
Insights: Hasn’t teed it up since ProCore (Sept 14th) outside of the Ryder Cup (where he should of gotten more play), but there’s no reason to think he won’t show up ready to contend. 6 made cuts in last 7 events which include the US Open Win, 2nd at FedEx St Jude Playoff Event and 6th at the ProCore. Worried about rust? Earlier this season finished 3rd at the Sony after a six-week layoff and won that U.S. Open on two weeks’ rest. Priced at 25/1 at ProCore with Scottie in the field and other Ryder Cup teammates but a 3rd Round (72), kept him from the mix. 14/1 feels justified but still a slight shock to see his name at the top of the odds board. Don’t let the shock keep you from adding JJS exposure and even on the winning outright bet slip.
Ben Griffin
Odds: +1400

Comp Results: 2/4/11/MC
Insights: Speaking of Ryder Cup, Ben Griffin enters this week as the highest-priced player in daily fantasy. Coming off a 32nd-place finish in India in mid-October, he opened strong with a 68 before sliding over the weekend with rounds of 72–71. He’s been in excellent form overall, recording five Top 12 finishes in his last six starts, but I feel deserves another win just based on his gaudy approach stats. Like JJ, Griffin appears motivated to finish 2025 strong, and his game certainly has the tools to do it. The concerns: Paspalum isn’t his preferred surface and sporadic scores including 1st and 4th Rounds 73 last year, which won’t be close to what he needs to give patrons value this week. You make the call but clubhouse recommendation is DFS exposure and an outright bet or mix and match.
Rico Hoey

*No SG data for Baycurrent start
FORM: 2/4/MC/9
Tournament Results: 45 (67-70-69-73, 2024)
Comp Results: 2/21/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Rico enters the week in top form, posting three Top 10s in his last four starts, including a runner-up finish to Michael Brennan last week. Even more encouraging, he gained strokes on the greens in Utah for the first time since June—a promising sign for a player whose ball-striking has been elite. While there’s no data on his Paspalum performances, his recent rhythm and confidence make him a compelling play. The runner-up finish came without stress leaving just a focused player hungry for his first win. At 22/1, it may not be the flashiest ticket, but given the stats and form, make the bet or prepare yourself for FOMO.

FORM: MC/27/19/17
Tournament Results: 14 (69-69-67-68, 2024)
Comp Results: 14/34/46/MC
Insights: Another player who is teeing up with a question around rest vs rust. Last played since Sanderson 10/5. Clubhouse has high hopes for Jacob and a long term buyer and in a decent spot for a nice divot play this week due to layoff and only gaining twice on approach in his last 7 starts. 4 straight rounds in the 60s here show the path and worth a sprinkle at least in daily fantasy formats. 45/1 is a little low for clubhouse liking especially off the layout and current approach numbers.

FORM: MC/40/38/55
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 8/51/57/73/MC
Insights: A year ago, Lee had the irons dialed in and was closing 2024 with three Top 16s in four starts—cue the “here we go again?” talk from the clubhouse. Unfortunately, that script hasn’t aged well. Since July, the approach play has cooled, the putter’s been moody, and the results show it—four missed cuts in his last seven starts with a best finish of 38th. The early-season stats teased potential, but that January-to-July sparkle has lost its shine. A punt pivot for the dreamers, maybe—but for everyone else, there are steadier plays on the board this week.

Insights: Homeless Hubs won’t be finding shelter in the clubhouse this week. Another fall letdown with back-to-back missed cuts—here two years ago and again last week in Utah. The stats smell spoiled, so rest easy knowing this is one name you can cross off—and maybe hope everyone else doesn’t.
Ben Kohles
Odds: +10000
Stats: Top 100! exclude DD (149), OTT/DD AVG (111), PUTT (166)

FORM: 20/MC/26/MC
Tournament Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: 20/25/42/46/WD
Insights: Ben Kohles’ irons remain in strong form, but limited distance and a shaky putter—combined with his 58th ranking out of 60 on Paspalum—will likely define his week. With course uncertainties on how his game will play and a need to make birdies, the clubhouse anticipates a modest outcome. A small 100/1 sprinkle is fine, but there’s no lock for a Top 10 or need to feature him heavily in every DFS lineup this week.
Keith Mitchell
Odds: +5000
Stats: Top 100! exclude APP 150175 (142), ARD (147), PUTT (106), P3 (122)

FORM: 10/MC/53/MC
Tournament Results: MC/38 (2 of 6 rounds in 60s; Low: 64)
Comp Results: 10/19/32/MC
Insights: We know Keith can make birdies in bunches, it is the other numbers that frighten clubhouse patrons. First Top 10 last week in 11 starts and is on the clubhouse radar this week. Let’s take a deeper look into his last start and the 38th finish here in 2023. 10th at Baycurrent doesn’t have stroked gained data; however, he did record two sub 64s last week (75-62-73-63) and finished Sunday here in 2023 with a 64. Not ready to say 50/1 is the right value for Killa Keith but he is definite worth a play in all formats especially a clubhouse favorite first round leader around +6500.
David Skinns
Odds: +17500

FORM: MC/MC/53/55
Tournament Results: 58 (72-70-70-71, 2024)
Comp Results: 21/51/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: David has been a true boom-or-bust player this year, posting back-to-back Top 8 finishes alongside 12 missed cuts in 24 starts. Fall golf hasn’t historically favored him, but there’s potential for a strong showing this week if you’re leaning cautiously in his direction. He’s gained strokes on approach in four of his last five starts and will benefit from wide fairways where his off-the-tee game won’t be penalized. While there’s no past performance on paspalum to guide us, he could be a sneaky pivot for daily fantasy—offering upside without being a total risk if he misses the weekend.

Insights: Young Thor showed some nerves under TV coverage in Utah, but the talent is undeniable—he can carry it all over the course off the tee. This week’s new layout is a low-California-style course that should fit his game, though approach and greens will be the deciding factors. While there aren’t strong course comps to lean on, his metrics remain impressive: 5th OTT, 1st GIR, 1st BS, 2nd BOB, 5th P4, even with 32nd in Paspalum putting. If he finds the right rhythm, he has the potential to contend and deliver a strong performance.

Insights: Ace enters the week with a strong statistical profile and back-to-back Top 21 finishes. While course fit remains a question mark, his recent Utah outing suggests a solid weekend (64-67 on the weekend in Utah) is well within reach. A win may be a stretch—the last came in 2019 on the KFT—but a sprinkle on a first-round leader, 3-ball matchups, and other short-term buys offer solid opportunities.

Insights: Yuuuu goat is in sharp form, and it really comes down to the putter this week. Sure you are tired of hearing it, but any event where winning score will be 20+ or even potential for 25+ this week, it will be a consistent phrase to expect. He’s gained on the greens in his last couple outings, and just needs the irons to wake up, which this course will give him plenty of chances to do. Tricky situation to untangle: he hasn’t gained over a stroke with irons for a full tournament since May 2025. Still, season-long numbers are top notch even if his Paspalum putting is a clear red flag (ranked 52nd out of 60 players with paspalum performances), but the upside is undeniable—definitely worth adding to lineups and betting cards including 3Ball and head-to-head matchups.
