6 months agoBrendon Todd will likely find himself on the radar of many fantasy managers this week. The 39-year-old University of Georgia alum should be a solid fit for the putting contest that awaits at TPC Summerlin, as he's gained strokes putting in eight consecutive events and ranks as the eighth-best Bentgrass putter in the field over the last 36 rounds. And while this course is one of the easiest second shot courses on tour, trouble can be found around the greens, another category where Todd excels. He arrives in Las Vegas on the heels of six consecutive made cuts, including most recently a T44 in his Fall Swing debut at the ProCore Championship last month. He also posted a respectable T28 finish In his last appearance at the Shriner Children's Open in 2023. Todd profiles as a non-volatile cut-maker with top-20 upside in this year's rendition.

9 months agoBrendon Todd produced a top-five result at the Valero Texas Open. The American golfer has struggled since, failing to record a top-25 finish since. Over the past three months, Todd has missed just two cuts but has not finished better than 36th. One of the biggest reasons is his ability to get off the tee and approach the green. Add in a driving distance that ranks 170th on tour (278.3 yards) and greens-in-regulation rank of 150th (62.43%), and it makes quality results elusive for him. Todd averages only 3.49 birdies per round, which may make him less attractive for DFS purposes.

12 months agoBrendon Todd has not won a tournament in 2024. However, the American golfer has made the cut in all but one event. Furthermore, he comes off a tied for fifth at the Valspar Championship. People forget he had a Top 10 at the Arnold Palmer too. Todd may be 38 but he is playing like it is 2019 once again (won two tournaments). Todd has approached 70% in terms of hitting the green in several events this year much like 2019. Furthermore, he ranks tenth in strokes gained for putting at 0.7. Simply, if Todd can be accurate with his driver and putter, the golfer thrives in conditions like those at the RBC Heritage.

1 year agoAfter a missed cut at The Players, Brendon Todd bounced back decently at the Valspar with a finish of T33 that was much higher on the leaderboard before a final-round 76. His derailment came both on the greens (-1.83 strokes gained putting) and off the tee (-2.03 strokes gained off the tee). Todd's efficiency with the putter has been a strong attribute of his game for over a decade, so look for that to get wrangled in. But his driver woes have also been just as notorious throughout his career. For DFS players, the range of expected finishes for the former Georgia Bulldog is wide, but at $9,300 on FanDuel, instability starts to build up at this range with nearly every player around him; he just seems to have less of it.
