3 weeks agoJason Day finished tied for eighth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier this month and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Texas Children's Houston Open, held at Memorial Park Golf Course. So far in 2025, he has not missed a cut, although he did miss the cut at this event last year. Over the past 12 months, Day ranks in the 29th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Texas Children's Houston Open, over 38% of approach shots came from this distance. Day may go overlooked in fantasy lineups this week, but including him carries some risk.

1 month agoJason Day finished tied for eighth at last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational and aims to maintain his strong play for this week's The PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. He hasn't missed the cut in any of his seven starts this year and has three top-10 finishes. Day has had mixed results at The PLAYERS Championship in previous years, finishing T35 in 2024, T19 in 2023, and missing the cut in 2022. Notably, at last year's The PLAYERS Championship, over 32% of approach shots came from 100-150 yards. In the past 12 months, Day has ranked in the 61st percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from this distance in the fairway. Given his excellent form, he could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

1 month agoComing off a disappointing T50 finish at the Genesis Invitational in February, Jason Day is making another start at Bay Hill. A winner here in 2016, there have been way more examples of good golf than bad, which he'll need to lean into to build some positive momentum before next week's Players Championship. Unfortunately, his ball striking has been slowly declining since the start of the season. The 37-year-old Aussie had gained strokes on approach in all of his first four events at an average of +1.055 and gained strokes off the tee in his last three starts at an average of +0.493 before the Genesis. However, he lost strokes in both metrics there. Bay Hill is luckily a much different animal than Torrey Pines, but the play off the tee will certainly have to come back in form if he hopes to have a chance.

2 months agoJason Day has gotten off to a solid start in 2025. The golfer from Australia tied for third at The American Express and broke into the top 15 at Pebble Beach. Day has only had one win since 2020, and that was two years ago at the Byron Nelson. However, this has been the healthiest Day we have seen in years, from a mental and physical standpoint. At the Farmers Insurance Open, Day did shoot a 74 and 76 to open and close his week. That was a big reason Day did not contend. Day birdied the 72nd hole on the Torrey Pines South Course but had five bogeys before then including three on the back nine. Day is a long shot here, but he does learn from his mistakes well.
