Rory McIlroy shot an eight-under par at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing the event in a share of sixth place. McIlroy has now recorded five consecutive top-six results to begin the season and is the hottest player on tour, despite failing to find the winner's circle in any of his close calls. McIlroy's recent inability to close is alarming, but if he continues to put himself in these positions, the sixth-ranked player in the world will eventually overcome his ineptitude on Sunday's. McIlroy is the co-betting favorite, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook at odds of 12/1 and is the third highest priced option on DraftKings at $10,800. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller

Many years throughout Rory McIlroy's career have seemed ripe for him to capture a green jacket. Aside from the collapse in 2011, much of his inability to convert at Augusta has been from slow starts and poor play around the greens. In his last four starts at The Masters, McIlroy has lost strokes around the green in three of them; 2022 being the outlier, where he gained an average of +2.01 in this area and finished in solo second. The Northern Irishman has undoubtedly been the hottest player this season, with two wins already under his belt and leading the PGA Tour in total strokes gained average (+2.319). The work he's put into the mental side of his game is evident by the uncharacteristically strong start to the year and his recent performances in majors. Buying into the hype this year might honestly be worth it.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

There is no other way to explain the Rory McIlroy show making a stop in Houston this week than that he feels as close as he possibly ever has to winning a green jacket. It's certainly the hottest start to a season he's had in quite some time, coming off the second Players Championship win of his career and notching a victory at Pebble Beach earlier in the year. 2025 could very well be the year for the Northern Irishman, which draws concerns for him from a DFS perspective this week. At $13,200 on FanDuel, getting to his pricetag will be hard enough, but how serious he takes this week is another major concern. It feels like he's only a useful asset with a win, which doesn't seem like it would be of much importance given the bigger prize in a couple of weeks.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

Since his victory in 2019, Rory McIlroy has not had the greatest of times at the Stadium Course. Putting has been the main concern during that time, as he lost a combined -13.28 strokes on the greens between 2021 and 2023. That has luckily been a strong point of emphasis for the 35-year-old this season, as he has ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained putting in two of four events. Given that he averaged -0.28 strokes gained on approach at Bay Hill, the iron play is perhaps the largest question mark heading into Thursday. Still, McIlroy is a weekly asset and should warrant any consideration DFS players are willing to give him.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

Rory McIlroy finished tied for 17th at the Genesis Invitational last month and is now focusing on preparing for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which takes place this week at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club. This will be McIlroy's third PGA Tour event of the year, and he has played well so far in 2025, including a victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Historically, McIlroy has fared well at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing tied for 21st in 2024 and tied for second in 2023. He could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller
