Comp Results: 48/50
Insights: Bryson enters Aronimink as one of the highest-upside plays in the field and one of the toughest to fully trust week-to-week. The major profile remains elite: a U.S. Open win, 3 Top 10s in his last 10 majors, and now four career Top 5s at the PGA Championship including back-to-back runner-ups the last two years. When the setup gets long, demanding, and driver-heavy, Bryson immediately becomes a factor. The recent form still shows the volatility though (3-WD-MC-1-1), with the Augusta missed cut and Mexico frustration balancing out the win equity. Stat profile remains dangerous with OTT gains in 4/4 and positive putting in 3/4, which is usually the formula when he contends. Aronimink should suit his aggressive style as well, and while the lone course result was only T19 in 2018, the scoring profile there showed plenty of comfort. Questions around LIV will continue from the outside, but majors are clearly still where Bryson locks in most. At +2200, you’re betting on ceiling over consistency—and few players in this field possess a ceiling this high if the driver and putter sync for four rounds. -C

Comp Results: 4/12/19/21
Insights: When he played this course in 2018, Rory had 4 rounds in the 60s with 2 of those rounds better than 64. He didn’t win, but the top-5 finish showed his upside here. We know what Rory’s floor can be when he’s not all there mentally, but given this is a major, you can count on Rory to be laser-focused this week — especially after being so bad around and on the greens in Charlotte. That’s always the concern with Rory — putting. However, Rory’s best putting performances come on Bentgrass greens, and he has so much creativity that helps him to get out of his wayward misses off-the-tee with relative ease. It’s a classic debate of Scottie vs. Rory this week at the top of the betting board, and I think the odds are fair on both. Pick your poison. -S

PGA Results: 1/8/2/MC/8/4
Comp Results: 2/20/52
Insights: Scottie defends his title this week and once again the clear benchmark of consistency in elite fields. The recent form almost looks fake at this point—2-2-2-22 over his last four starts—and despite not winning in his last nine, he continues to gain across all four major SG categories every single week. OTT, APP, ARD, PUTT all 4/4 gains entering the week is exactly why the number sits at +500 even without a recent win. The surprise is seeing him outside the Top 25% in the field in several approach buckets statistically, but that speaks more to how absurd the expectations are with Scottie than actual weakness. PGA Championship history remains elite as well and skipping Quail feels intentional with eyes fully set on defending this title. Aronimink is a debut, but long demanding setups that require complete tee-to-green control are exactly where Scottie thrives. The question this week isn’t whether the game is there—it clearly is—it’s whether he finally converts another close call into a win and removes the string of runner-up finishes from the form line. -C

PGA Results: MC/MC
Comp Results: N/A
Insights: For as good as Aberg has been so early in his career, his majors profile is severely lacking relative to his success elsewhere. This will be his 10th major, and he has finished inside the top 10 just twice to go along with 4 missed cuts — including both of his prior PGA Championship appearances. That said, it’s going to come at some point for the Swede — he’s just too good for it not to happen. Will it happen this week? Well, let’s see, he’s been excellent off-the-tee from a total driving perspective, and he’s great on approach — specifically with his long irons — but his misses can be brutal and set him back multiple strokes with massive blowup holes (99th in Distance from Edge of Fairway last 24 rounds). Not to mention, his lag putting is brutal sometimes, and he misses so many birdie putts — which we saw pop up again at the Truist last week. Given how good he is off the tee, I want to get excited to back Ludvig, but the odds in tandem with his lack of sustained success at majors is going to keep him in hat-tip territory rather than bet-on territory. -S

Comp Results: 2/12/15/38
Insights: Cantlay is a paper tiger. His 4 straight T20 finishes force us to mention him this week, but are you really going to feel confident in betting Patrick Cantlay at a major? His T12 at the Masters broke a stretch of 3 straight missed major cuts, and it was the first time he finished T15 in one of the sport’s most prestigious events since his T3 at the US Open in 2024. Cantlay hasn’t won a PGA event since 2022, and I’m not very interested in betting him at this price to break the cold streak — even if he has gained strokes tee-to-green in 5 straight events. When push comes to shove, I don’t trust him as a putter given his 6 out of 10 events with negative putting performances, and the iron play can disappear in the blink of an eye. Plus, he has a punchable face. No thanks. (Champ has more optimism for PC this week, maybe I should have let him write this one.) -S

Comp Results: 11/25/59
Insights: Tommy is always a sexy option on paper given his statistical profile, but this guy always seems to save his worst for last. Yet again, Tommy’s worst round in Charlotte came over the weekend, completely negating his back-to-back 67s on Thursday and Friday. It was the 7th time in his 9 PGA events this season that his worst round came over the weekend. Oh, and it happened in both of his DP World Tour events in January as well. All this to say, Tommy doesn’t have the clutch gene. Could he find it at some point in his career? Absolutely, and I’m rooting for him to do just that, but I’ve been on him for many of his painful runner-ups and T3s — enough that I find it hard to back him at this price. The Tour Championship victory was supposed to be a springboard for more wins, but we just haven’t seen it happen. His T5 in Charlotte was his first finish in the Top 10 since the Valero, and it was the first time he gained strokes with his irons since that very event in San Antonio. In fact, Tommy has lost strokes on Approach in 5 of his 9 PGA events this year. The 4 times he gained strokes in that department represented 4 of his 5 top-10 finishes this year, but again, did he feel like a legitimate threat to win any of those events? Collin had a comfortable lead on him at Pebble, he shot a 73 on Saturday at the Players to remove himself from that discussion, he followed that up with a 71 on Saturday at the Valero to remove himself from that discussion and then he shot a 70 on Saturday at the Truist — failing to put himself in a real position to win on Sunday amongst a crowded leaderboard. I want to believe in Tommy, but it’s tough. -S

Comp Results: 2/6/12
Insights: Fitzy is one of the most in-form players in the world and a golfer many expected to peak during this major stretch. Three wins in his last five starts, plus a 2nd at THE PLAYERS, has completely changed the perception of his ceiling in 2026. The profile is elite right now—APP gains in 4/4, ARD gains in 4/4, and OTT gains in all but one start since January. Last week’s OTT loss was the first since The American Express, so it feels more like a blip than concern. The major résumé is quietly becoming one of the steadiest in golf as well: just two missed cuts in 14 majors since the 2022 U.S. Open win, with strong finishes across all major types including 4th at the 2025 Open, 5th at the PGA, and multiple solid Masters results. Aronimink is a debut, but the comp course history checks plenty of boxes and this setup should reward his current all-around control. At +2200, don’t let last week’s result sway you, this feels like one of the clearest spots yet for Fitzpatrick to turn elite form into another major statement and fully cement this as a career-best season. -C
Chris Gotterup

FORM: 14/38/25/24
Aronimink Results: DEBUT
PGA Results: MC (74-71, 2024)
Comp Results: N/A
Insights: Gotterup continues to trend toward becoming a real factor in major championships, now making his 6th career major start with made cuts in 4 of his first 5 and a breakout 3rd at the 2025 Open already on the résumé. The profile remains exactly what you want at a demanding venue like Aronimink: elite OTT upside, natural power, and birdie-making ability that can hang with stronger fields. While the OTT game has cooled slightly over the last two starts on courses that looked ideal on paper, the approach play bounced back at Quail and the putter has quietly been on absolute fire over the last two events. That combination alone gives him sneaky upside at +5000. The expectation feels more realistic toward another made cut and Top 40 type finish rather than immediate win equity, but the ceiling is clearly growing with each major start. If the driver returns to the early-season level that fueled his two wins, Chris becomes a very interesting DFS and placement play with enough firepower to hang around the first couple pages of the leaderboard. -C

PGA Results: 60/63/15/13/38/MC/48/10/MC/10/25
Comp Results: 3/16/34
Insights: The Mad Hatter is one of the more intriguing upside plays on the board at +5500. The major championship form has quietly become very strong with 2 Top 5s in his last 3 majors, including 3rd at this year’s Masters and 4th at the 2025 U.S. Open, showing he absolutely belongs in the mix on big stages. Aronimink itself brings good memories too, closing with the low round of the day (64) at the 2018 BMW Championship. The overall profile is still a bit volatile though. Around-the-green play has improved significantly over the last few starts, but the putter has been cold most of 2026 with gains in just 3 of 9 starts, and the irons took a step back last week in Virginia. That inconsistency is what keeps Hatton from feeling fully trustworthy outright, but the ceiling is clearly there if the approach play spikes again. A well-rounded game, growing major pedigree, and positive course vibes should make him a popular DFS and placement target this week. -C

PGA Results: 28/3/2/41/30/33
Comp Results: 1/12/40
Insights: BDV is one of the tougher players in the field to fully gauge, but the major championship upside is undeniable. The PGA Championship has quietly been his best major with finishes of 2nd and 3rd in two of his last three years, and the Olympia Fields win in 2023 will absolutely catch the attention of anyone looking for comp-course crossover success. The recent major profile is still solid overall—4 Top 20s and 2 Top 5s in his last 10 majors with five straight made cuts—but the week-to-week form has lacked the spike we became used to. Most of 2026 has been field average across the board statistically, which explains the steady but unspectacular results. The irons flashed again at Augusta and the short game showed life at THE PLAYERS, but there hasn’t been much sustained momentum. Still, Hovland’s ball-striking ceiling and proven PGA Championship comfort make him a name to keep in mind. At +6500, there’s enough pedigree and upside here to justify interest, even if the current form doesn’t fully scream contender. -C

Comp Results: 3/3/21/WD
Insights: Deki feels like one of the biggest question marks among the elite names this week at Aronimink. The iron play still flashes enough to keep believers interested—APP gains in 3 of his last 4 and elite long-term approach metrics remain intact—but the overall Major profile has cooled significantly compared to the version that won the Masters in 2021. Over his last 10 majors, the only Top 10 was the 2024 U.S. Open, and outside of that stretch the high-end major finishes have been sparse. Aronimink does bring positive vibes with the strong showing at the BMW Champ, but the form entering that week was much steadier than what we’re seeing now. The biggest concern is clearly off the tee, where losses continue piling up and especially over the last three starts, including last week at Quail Hollow. Add in a putter that’s gone cold recently and it becomes difficult to confidently back him outright despite the pedigree. It’s a pass for me and some might say it is a pipe dream for him to land on first page come Sunday. -C

Comp Results: 1/5/17/31
Insights: Whether fair or not, I’m not really interested in Rahm this week given the LIV/DPWT stuff. Obviously, it’s all out of his control, but it’s another variable for him at least mentally ahead of prepping for one of his 4 biggest events of the year. He’s been a superstar on LIV, but it hasn’t really translated to majors as much as I expected. He finished outside the top 30 in his 2 most recent majors (Masters, Open), and he hasn’t finished inside the top 5 at any major since his T2 at Royal Liverpool in 2023. You’re getting taxed by the oddsmakers just because of his name, and given the flux of LIV right now — along with its relatively poor level of competition — I’m not going to give Rahm the benefit of the doubt at sub-20 odds. Easy pass for me this week. Not necessarily a fade, but rather just a pass. -S

PGA Results: MC/53/18/34/17/13/MC/MC/2/13/30/58
Comp Results: 19/40
Insights: Reed quietly feels like one of the more forgotten names in the field this week, which is usually when he becomes interesting. The Masters will always be his best major setup, but the PGA Championship résumé is more solid than many remember with a runner-up in 2017 and multiple additional Top 20 finishes. Recent major form has been underwhelming overall with just one Top 10 in his last 10 majors, though that did come with the 3rd-place finish at the 2025 Masters. Since Augusta, Reed has completely disappeared from the conversation with no starts, which makes this week difficult to project but also potentially valuable from a DFS leverage standpoint. Aronimink itself produced a respectable T19 back in 2018 including rounds of 65 and 64. Reed may no longer carry the same weekly fear factor, but at +7000 there’s enough ceiling, short-game creativity, and proven major toughness to make him an intriguing sleeper if the rust isn’t too severe. -C

Comp Results: 22/52/52
Insights: Almost as boom-or-bust as you can get in majors, but has showcased a steady floor at the PGA Championship outside of last year at Quail Hollow — a MC that ended a run of 5 straight top-15 finishes at the event. Rosey has been around long enough to not only have played the 2018 BMW Championship, but the 2010 and 2011 Quicken Loans National as well — which he won in 2010 while gaining over 14.5 total strokes to the field. Obviously the biggest question mark for Rose is his new gear, but he’s now had 2 events to get used to them. Plus, he’s said on record that he feels he’s at his best in his third start during a multi-week run of consecutive events. Betting Rosey is taking a leap of faith, ignoring the equipment noise and the recent form, and banking on his big-game-hunter upside — which he has showcased time and time again each year. It’s just a matter of time before he’s at the top of the leaderboard again, giving Scottie and/or Rory a run for their money. If he abandons the McLarens for his old equipment, watch out. -S

Comp Results: N/A
Insights: I’ve been on JJ Spaun in each of the last 2 events, and there’s no reason to jump off after a T5 finish at Quail Hollow — falling JUST short of the 3-places each way. At his odds this week, I will probably consider a T5 or T8 each way, as I am definitely going to have him on my card for the 3rd straight week. Why wouldn’t I? Imagine, being on him 2 weeks in a row and then in the 3rd week, with the best odds, you jump off and he wins? Woof. Anyway, since missing the cut at the Masters, Spaun has fired a 69 (nice) or better in 8 of 12 rounds — with a low of 65 on Saturday in Charlotte. If it weren’t for his 70 on Friday, he would have been squarely in the mix at the top of the leaderboard. In all, he gained over 3 strokes to the field in SG: App, making it the 3rd straight time he gained at least 2.5 strokes with his irons (and 6th in last 7). He gained throughout the bag, even on the greens — where he had not gained strokes since his win at Valero the week prior to the Masters. Showcasing solid gains off-the-tee and around-the-green in his last 2 starts as well as his win last month, JJS has proven he will be in contention if he can find success on the greens. That said, Bentgrass surfaces haven’t been kind to him in his career, as it’s his worst surface as a professional overall as well as over the last 12 months. Still, at the his price and with his tee-to-green profile, I’m willing to take the risk on the putting situation. For what it’s worth, in 2018 at the BMW Championship, he gained strokes on these greens (+0.61). -S

Comp Results: 34/37/38
Insights: Jordy is going for the career grand slam this week, and I would love to sit here and make a case as to why he’s live to complete the feat, but I’m just not there. He’s been on grand slam watch for almost a decade, and he hasn’t been competitive at this event since 2019 at Bethpage. He’s yet to sniff the top 25 much less the top 5 since that T3 finish in 2019. Now, he comes into this event having lost strokes on Approach in 3 straight events, while losing losing around-the-green in each of them. Not to mention, he’s yet to crack any top 10 this season — though he has 2 top-11 finishes and a pair of 12ths — and he finished 55th at this course in 2018. There is no form to consider and there is no reason to think it’s going to spike this week (watch him win now). It just feels like there’s always something Spieth is tinkering with or recovering from, and it’s holding him back from being a complete player — which is the desired profile this week. -S

Insights: Sepp feels like one of the ultimate risk/reward names on the board this week. The upside is real—elite iron play, strong birdie-making metrics, and proven ability to spike in Majors with a 2nd at the Open and 7th at the PGA in 2023—but the floor has been just as visible lately. Last week perfectly summed up the Sepp experience: looked completely locked in after Thursday gaining over 2.5 strokes on approach and more than 2 strokes putting, then everything unraveled the rest of the week with massive OTT and putting losses. That volatility has shown up in Majors too, where the OTT and APP usually hold up but the short game and putter tend to separate him from true contention. The overall 2026 profile still checks a lot of boxes statistically with APP gains in 4/4 and elite proximity numbers, but the lack of consistency makes it difficult to fully trust at Aronimink. Value bettors will absolutely talk themselves into the number because the talent level is there, but this feels much more like a “hold your breath and hope the spike week shows up” type of outright than a stable investment. -C

Insights: JT joined the Tour late this year, and outside of his T8 at Sawgrass, it was a rocky start for him while he knocked off the rust post recovery. However, there have been some encouraging signs from him in the last 2 weeks, finish T23 at Doral and 13 at Quail while gaining strokes in all 3 phases tee-to-green in both events. The putter cooperated with him last week — shoutout to Cam Young — but failed him in Florida, robbing him of what could have easily been another T15 finish. On this course in 2018, JT had 4 rounds in the 60s, which is always great to see. It was the Driver that let him down here that year, but Driver has been good for him in 4 of the last 5 events in 2026. At this price, consider me very curious about/very interested in the idea of adding JT to my card with each-way consideration in an attempt to be early on one of the game’s elites from a talent perspective. That said, his majors profile is disgusting — and that’s putting it mildly. He hasn’t finished inside the top 30 in a major since Valhalla in 2024, and before that, he hadn’t done it since the PGA in 2022 when he had that miracle comeback at Southern Hills. I guess I just talked myself into JT even more considering the only 2 quality major results he had in the last 4 years were both at the PGA Championship. You can see the gears churning on this one. Check out the Wednesday newsletter for final bets and usage, but JT is absolutely in my range of outcomes. At this point, I’d be surprised if I didnt bet him and use him in DFS. -S

Insights: Prior to the Truist, Xander was in this golf-betting purgatory in which his results looked good on paper, but in actuality, he wasn’t ever a threat to win the event on Sunday. Sure, that’s great if you’re riding him in the top-10 market, but it’s obviously not ideal in the outright market. That said, the placement market is a viable option once again this week for X-Man given that it’s a major. Schauffele has been a stalwart in majors for years now, even ahead of his dual major wins in 2024. In fact, he’s finished T15 or better in 13 of his last 16 major appearances since his MC at the Masters in 2022, and 2 of those 3 non-T15 finishes were T17 and T18 while all 3 were T30. In other words, the floor is extremely high on Xander this week, making him a great option in DFS as well as placement markets — especially considering his 3rd-place finish on this course in 2018. However, I still remain a bit pessimistic on his winning upside at sub-20 odds. I just wish there were more T2-T4s on his resume than T8-T15s. -S

Insights: CY at +1200 coming off an elite win just two weeks ago is exactly why he’ll be one of the most talked-about names this week. The tee-to-green profile is still the backbone: consistent OTT dominance and strong approach trends overall. The key shift this year is that the putting narrative is less one-dimensional than it’s been in the past—he’s gained on the greens in 6 of his 10 2026 starts, which helped stabilize the profile. The Quail Hollow Sunday is a definite conversation starter and reminder of his volatility, but it also followed a low round of the day (63) in Round 3 and the week prior at Trump National Doral where he put on a masterclass. At these odds, this is no longer just a pure upside-only bet—it’s a form + ceiling combination. The major résumé is there (multiple top-5s across all four majors), and the recent trajectory mirrors his earlier-career stretches where he stacked contention runs. Cam is live each and every week at this rate including majors. The price reflects that—but so does the risk that one phase still drifts for 72 holes. -C
