Insights: Xander’s season debut comes this weekend at the Farmers, where he’s had quite a bit of success since the pandemic — 4 straight T35 performances with a T2 in 2021 and a T9 in 2024. That T9 was particularly impressive considering he lost almost 3 strokes on the greens that weekend. He didn’t play here last year, and many are seemingly weary of the price this week — probably because they haven’t seen him play competitive golf since his Win at Baycurrent in October — leaning to Aberg at a similar number instead. However, I’m all in on X-man this week. Frankly, I was surprised to see his number open around 15/1. Champ and I were talking Sunday night, and we both felt he’d be more around 10 or maybe even around 9/1. Being able to snag a 17/1 on him on Monday felt like good value for his upside, especially at a course he’s played so well. He always gains OTT here, he’s gained at least 3.5 strokes to the field on APP in 3 of his last 4 starts here, his ARG play has been a net-positive in 4 straight starts here, and his poor putting performance in 2024 was the first time he had lost strokes on the greens here since 2018. In 4 of his last 6 starts at the Farmers, he gained at least 2 strokes on the greens. Three times, he surpassed +3 strokes with the flat stick. Assuming he’s back to full health, getting Xander anywhere near 15/1 in a field without Scottie or Rory is just too good for me to pass up. -S

SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 2/4, ARD 2/4, PUTT 3/4
FORM: 13/30/2/30
Farmers Results: 56/MC/51/MC
Comp Results: 1/2/5/9/9/12/13/15/26/30/52
Insights: PC quietly checks every box in the Farmers build: long tracks, West Coast comfort, Poa putting, GIR, scrambling, and elite tee-to-green—good enough to sit No. 1 in the mixed model. The AmEx Thursday 63 and 9 of his last 12 rounds are sub-70 show the class in form. The concerns are both physical and mental—Torrey hasn’t been kind and the win drought dates back to the 2022 BMW—but that likely keeps ownership in check. From the clubhouse view, that makes him a sharp look in matchups and DFS where leverage matters, and the trend of needing a Top 10 here in the history bank is only part I am questioning about betting him this week. -C
Chris Gotterup
Odds: +2800
Stats: Top 50!!! exclude APP 200+ (62), APP AVG (52)
Rank: Top 75 across; Top 25 exclude APP, APP 200+, SCR, P5, ER2
SG Gains: OTT 2/3, APP 2/3, ARD 1/3, PUTT 3/3 (No SG for Baycurrent)
FORM: 1/19/40/10
Farmers Results: 25/50
Comp Results: 18/33/57/MC/MC
Insights: Is he him? The résumé is starting to scream yes. Only Rory and Scottie have longer active win streaks, and Gotterup just keeps stacking proof—wins in three straight seasons and carrying last year’s heater straight into 2026 with a Sony win including rounds of 63 & 64. He survived brutal conditions here last year for a Top 25, and now shows up in better form and a friendlier setup. Unless you’re betting on a letdown, stepping in front of this freight train feels risky. I’ll happily ride him in matchups; DFS ownership will be heavy, but that’s the price of backing a guy who’s very clearly trending into that tier.
