Insights: Michael Brennan feels more like a cautious watch than a confident investment this week. Yes, the off-the-tee and approach numbers are eye catching and trending in the right direction — three straight starts gaining in both categories is real progress — and in a weaker Puerto Rico field that kind of ball-striking should matter. But the short game has been a glaring problem. Around-the-green play and putting haven’t just been shaky; they’ve been costly, and without a deep historical strokes-gained sample it’s difficult to tell whether this is temporary noise or a longer-term flaw. The recent form doesn’t inspire confidence either. Still, there’s enough underlying tee-to-green promise to make you curious. If the flat stick behaves even slightly better than usual, he could surprise — but at this price, it feels smarter to observe rather than assume the turnaround happens this week. -C

Insights: Multiple Rasmus’ in field and multiple Hojgaard’s in the golf world but have no fear the clubhouse is here! R Hoj deserves to be viewed as the rightful favorite this week given his current trajectory and the type of skill set that separates in this field. He’s consistently gaining off the tee and with his irons, ranking inside the Top 25% of the field in key ball-striking metrics like SG: Tee-to-Green, Off the Tee, Driving Distance, and Approach, and that’s the foundation that wins on this course. While the around-the-green play has been average at times, the putter has shown real life lately, gaining in four of his last four measured starts — a major signal in an event that often turns into a birdie contest. Recent form is steady with upside, and when you zoom out the consistency and top-end finishes stack up better than most at the top of this board (9-24-30-44-7-23-14-3-MC-2-13-2). In a weaker field where elite ball-striking travels, Rasmus’ profile fits exactly what you want: length, scoring ability, and a warm putter. He’s not just a contender — he’s the standard everyone else is chasing this week. If you don’t want to swallow the price tag on an outright, consider doubling him up with Scottie or Rory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational for odds closer to 50/1. -C

Insights: Second Rasmus this week not only in odds, but alphabetical remains one of the most intriguing talents in this field. RNP’s approach play has been legitimately strong, gaining in three of his last four measured starts, and he ranks top-25% in this field in tee-to-green, birdie rate, par-5 scoring, and long-range efficiency. That upside is real. He also finished runner-up here last year and likely would have won if not for a costly Saturday 73, so the course clearly fits his eye. Add in a DP World Tour win just three months prior followed by a Top 20 in Dubai, and the pedigree is obvious. The hesitation comes from the short game, flat stick and his play on the PGA Tour hasn’t cracked the top 40, which surely happens this week. With limited rounds in the 60s the past two weeks, there’s some concern about how quickly he finds top gear — and how he handles the weekend spotlight. At sub-20/1, it feels aggressive to cannonball in pre-tournament and I suggest more a of toe-dip approach: monitor Round 1, accept the risk of FOMO, and be ready to lean in Friday if the game is clicking. The talent says yes, timing says proceed with measured optimism. -C

Insights: Another Ricky on tour. Sensing a theme or maybe there is something to names that click on the PGA Tour? Non-orange Ricky brings legitimate momentum after last week’s Top 5 at PGA National, and his underlying profile suggests it wasn’t a fluke. He ranks top-25% in the field across tee-to-green, off-the-tee, distance, proximity, putting, birdie average, and both par-4 and par-5 scoring — a well-rounded scoring package that should translate again, particularly early in the week. He played well here last year before a Sunday 75 stalled what could’ve been a much higher finish, but at 25 years old there’s little concern about lasting scar tissue. He’s gaining strokes in every key category recently, and the confidence should be building. 22/1 odds is a touch short for someone still seeking his first PGA TOUR win (last victory came in his pro debut on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2023), but in a relatively thin field it’s understandable. Strong DFS play and attractive for first-round matchups, with the plan to reassess heading into the weekend if he’s in position. -C
Zecheng Dou
Odds: +4000
Stats: Top 100! exclude OTT (143), PROX (123), BA (115), P4 (102), LR1 (127)
Rank: Top 75 across; Top 25: TG, DD, APP, GIR, APP AVG, ARD, BOB, P3, ER2

Insights: If you’re new to betting and wondering whether Zecheng Dou is even a real name — he is, and he’s a legitimate threat in this field. At +4000, he profiles as a classic “quietly live” option. The reason? His approach play has been elite, gaining strokes with his irons in four straight starts, and he’s also been solid around the green. That combination alone keeps you in tournaments like this, especially against a weaker field. Recent results show he’s competitive right now. The concern is off the tee. He’s lost strokes OTT in three of his last four measured events, and while he has enough distance to survive here, it’s not a strength. Course history also modest — just one round in the 60s in six tries — so this isn’t a “lock button” situation. So here’s my takeaway: Will he contend? Possible. Is he the safest bet on the board? No. For a newer bettor, he’s more of a DFS or small exposure play than a heavy outright investment. If his driver behaves, the iron play is good enough to push him into the Top 10 conversation. If it doesn’t, he likely settles into that 20th–35th range. Manage expectations, but don’t dismiss and fade him blindly. -C
Adrien Dumont de Chassart

Stats: Top 100! exclude GIR (111), SCR (103), PUTT (119), BA (115), P4 (102), ER1 (115)

Insights: ADDC brings real firepower and upside at 35/1. He ranks top-25% in this field in tee-to-green metrics, driving distance, and par-5 scoring, which gives him the kind of scoring profile that can pop. There’s also tangible course comfort here, highlighted by a 6th-place finish in 2024, so this isn’t unfamiliar territory. Current form gives boom-or-bust, but that volatility fits his personality as a player and only one player can win each week — he’s shown he’s capable of sticking his nose near the lead early. The irons are trending up with back-to-back approach gains, and while the putter has been cold dating back to the fall, that’s often the quickest fix and most fickle. Off the tee needs to tighten up slightly, but the talent level is undeniable for someone who won on the Korn Ferry Tour just eight starts ago. At this number, he’s worth the investment just on potential alone but course history and recent results push to a clear buy this week. -C
A.J. Ewart
Odds: +6000
Stats: Top 100! exclude ARD (123)
Rank: Top 75 across; Top 25: GIR, PROX, APP AVG, BS, SCR, BA, P5, LR2
SG Gains: OTT 3/4, APP 2/4, ARD 2/4, PUTT 3/4
FORM: 13/28/49/44
PRO Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: N/A
Insights: A.J. Ewart is one of those quiet Maple Leaf risers who’s building something real. The 26-year-old has already won on PGA TOUR Americas, multiple times in college, and now he’s steadily proving he belongs at this level. He’s made four of his first five cuts this season (only missing at Sony to open the year), and the strokes-gained profile is encouraging — gaining off the tee in three of his last four, solid approach numbers, and a noticeable spike with the putter on both Poa and Bermuda. He ranks top-25% in this field in GIR, proximity, ball-striking, par-5 scoring, and birdie average — a recipe you shouldn’t ignore. While this is his event debut and still just his seventh PGA TOUR start, the recent 13th-place finish and a runner-up last fall show he’s not intimidated by contention. At 60/1, this isn’t a flag-plant moment, but another Top 20 — and even a Top 10 — is absolutely within reach against this field. For Canadian golf fans, he’s a name trending the right way and I would find a way to enter him into your DFS lineups this week. -C
David Ford
Odds: +4500
Stats: Top 75!! exclude ARD (160), ARD/SCR AVG (116), PUTT (114), P5 (111)
Rank: Top 75 exclude ARD; Top 25 exclude ARD, SCR, ARD/SCR AVG, PUTT, P5

FORM: 32/MC/13/50
PRO Results: DEBUT
Comp Results: MC
Insights: David Ford is the definition of high-ceiling, high-variance this week. The 23-year-old has elite-level approach numbers — gaining on irons in four straight starts — and solid off-the-tee trends to back it up. That’s a winning foundation, especially in this type of field. The problem is clear: around-the-green play and putting have been major leaks, and until those stabilize, it’s hard to project four clean rounds. This is already his 18th career start, and while early results were rough (7 missed cuts in his first 8), he’s shown real growth — highlighted by a 3rd-place finish in Utah last fall against a comparable field. Anyone who watched his wild opening round at Cognizant saw the firepower: doubles, birdies, hole-outs — the full volatility package. At 45/1, he’s not safe, but he’s dangerous. If the short game merely behaves instead of implodes, a first-page leaderboard finish — even a win — isn’t unrealistic. He won three times in a four-week span in early 2025 during his collegiate career, so the ability to close is there. Embrace volatility and stack him in your DFS lineups, round matchups and sprinkle an outright. Youngster has game and this is the type of field to get your first dub. -C
Seamus Power
Odds: +3500
Stats: Top 125 exclude OTT, PROX
Rank: Top 75 across; Top 25: SCR, ARD/SCR AVG, PUTT, BOB, BA, P3, P4, ER1

FORM: 52/11/63/31
PRO Results: 22/35/MC
Comp Results: 47/48/MDF/MC/MC/MC/MC/MC
Insights: Seamus Power is a known name for both DFS players and golf bettors, though there are stronger options on the board this week. He plays well at Grand Reserve, so if you like the name, think round matchups rather than long-term exposure—clubhouse advice for the Puerto Rico Open. Power’s stats show solid putting form and a history of making cuts (10 of last 10), including three T20s and a T10, but overall results are inconsistent. Does have the potential upside when clicking and gaining in all stat categories (see RSM T7 during Fall Swing). Curious to see his ownership percentage on Thursday, but better options exist so get outside the comfort zone and not just a name you recognize week after week. -C
Davis Thompson
Odds: +2200

Rank: Top 75 exclude PUTT, BOB; Top 25: TG, OTT/DD AVG, APP, GIR, PROX, APP AVG, BS, SCR, BA, LR1
SG Gains: OTT 4/4, APP 3/4, ARD 2/4, PUTT 0/4
FORM: 60/64/43/MC
PRO Results: MC (72-75, 2020)
Comp Results: 9/19/30
Insights: DT has the tools to make noise — top-tier driving and solid approach numbers for a player we know can mash it — but the short-term form paints a blurry picture. His putting has been a major liability, losing strokes in 8 of his last 10 rounds and 6 straight weeks, and results have been inconsistent with 3 missed cuts and only 4 top-25s in that span. He has no real course history, so while the upside is there for a week where everything clicks, the profile leans more “watch and see” than a confident bet in this field. Hate to say it, but patrons deserve to hear it, he is on the brink of the FOTW label this week. -C
