Matt Fitzpatrick played steady, if unspectacular, golf at The Masters, recording rounds of 71-73-74-73 en route to a T40 finish. He'll look to build on that performance at the RBC Heritage, a tournament he's played 10 times and famously won in 2023, defeating defending champion Jordan Spieth in a playoff for one of his two career PGA Tour victories. In that win, Fitzpatrick gained over six strokes on approach and nearly 11 strokes from tee to green, two areas that have been concerns for him this season. He currently ranks 151st in strokes gained from tee to green and 157th on approach. There is reason to believe he can turn this around, as he ranks 49th in driving accuracy and sits in the 45th percentile over the last 12 months in proximity from 150–200 yards, a key range that accounted for 42.5% of all approach shots last year. At $7,200 on DraftKings, Fitzpatrick profiles as a boom-or-bust candidate this week.

Matt Fitzpatrick hasn't been in top form recently, missing the cut in three of his last five starts, but he'll look to turn things around at The Masters, where he has competed 10 times. His track record at Augusta is strong — he's made the cut nine times and notched five top-25 finishes, including three straight finishes of T22 or better. To find success again, Fitzpatrick will need to sharpen his tee-to-green game, an area that's been a major weakness this season. He ranks 153rd in strokes gained from tee to green, losing 0.562 strokes per round. Additionally, he is in just the 38th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months, a key range that accounted for 37.8% of approach shots at Augusta last year. It's hard to trust Fitzpatrick given his recent form, but his strong course history could tempt fantasy managers to consider him at just $7,400 on DraftKings.

Matt Fitzpatrick struggled at The PLAYERS Championship, carding a 78-72 and ultimately missing his second cut of the season. Along with his missed cuts, Fitzpatrick has four top-50 finishes, including two top-25s. He now looks to find some consistency at the Valero Texas Open, an event he's played just once, finishing T10 in 2024. In that performance, Fitzpatrick gained over 7.5 strokes around the green and with his putter — areas where he has not been as sharp this season. He currently ranks 60th in putting (0.193 strokes gained per round), but sits 165th around the green (minus-0.356), 151st on approach (minus-0.386), and 153rd from tee to green (minus-0.549). Despite these struggles, Fitzpatrick ranks in the 98th percentile for greens in regulation from 200-plus yards, an area that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. While he hasn't played his best golf this season, his strong finish here last year and ability to hit greens make Fitzpatrick a player that fantasy managers should not overlook at his $7,800 price tag on DraftKings.

Thus far in 2025, it has been a relatively steady year for Matt Fitzpatrick. He has made the cut in four out of five events and has two top-25 finishes. His course history at TPC Sawgrass is as boom or bust as anyone in the field. In his eight times playing the stadium course, he has missed the cut four times, has two top-10s, and placed 41st or worse twice. The former U.S. Open winner has had trouble controlling his irons with a -.0162 strokes gained approach to green, ranking 162nd on tour. Solid short iron play and precision accuracy off the tee are essential to succeed at the stadium course. Trusting Fitzpatrick this week is tough, especially at his $9,300 price tag on FanDuel.
