Sam Burns won the WGC-Dell Match Play a few weeks ago. Only a badly timed third round 78 kept the American golfer from truly contending at The Masters. Still, Burns finished tied for 29th. He ranks ninth in strokes gained from putting at 0.719. His only weakness is approach to the green but that was close to even throughout most of last weekend. Burns must cut down on his bogeys or worse. He does rank 25th in birdie average at 4.19 per round. The key for Burns is putting four rounds together. Burns did it five years ago on the way to a ninth in South Carolina. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Sam Burns missed four straight cuts and faltered at the Masters. The American golfer shot consecutive 75's over the weekend on what was perceived to be an easier layout. Almost every week, Burns has that round which makes any bettor, DFS player, or pundit scratch their head. Sunday looked to be going okay and then back-to-back double bogeys on 17 and 18 dropped Burns 14 places on the leaderboard. Errant shots and compounding errors have been the main culprits for the downturn. His putting has been incredible in 2025 ranking 4th with 0.839 strokes gained. However, approaches to the green have been equally putrid. Approaches greater than 200 yards are 148th at 56 feet 5 inches. Burns may struggle again once or twice this week which dampens his DFS outlook. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Sam Burns has struggled as of late. He has failed to make the cut in his last three events, and hasn't had a top-25 finish since the Genesis Invitational. On top of that, his history at Augusta National is not great. In three starts, he has two missed cuts and a T-29 back in 2023. His play off the tee and approach has really hampered his game in 2025, which is essential at ANGC. His -0.005 strokes gained off the tee per round and -0.630 strokes gained on approach per round are below average on tour. In 2024, 32.2% of approach shots came from 200+ yards, a range where Burns has struggled with a 151st ranking on tour. It's best to look in another direction this week in DFS. --Jake Walker - RotoBaller

Sam Burns missed the cut at the Valspar Championship two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio. He last played in the Valero Texas Open in 2021, where he also missed the cut. Additionally, Burns has missed the cut in his last two tournaments. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 41st percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because over 28% of approach shots at last year's Valero Texas Open came from this distance. Considering his recent performance, including Burns in DFS lineups this week poses some risk.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller

Coming off a T48 at the API and missing the cut at TPC Sawgrass last week, Sam Burns will look to rebound at Innisbrook this week at the Valspar Championship. This is an event where the 28-year-old has thrived in past years having back-to-back victories in 2022 and 2023. From a course history perspective, he is one of the most dominant players in the field, as he sports a +2.809 total strokes gained at this course over his last 14 rounds. It has been by way of dominant approach play, with an average of +0.932 in strokes gained on approach. However, the two previous starts mentioned this season have been due to horrific iron play that will make repeat success at this championship difficult. If picking Burns is purely reliant on course history, he's a worthwhile pick; but the current state of his game is undoubtedly hard to trust. --Todd McGill - RotoBaller
