Chris Gotterup Is Struggling So Far In His Rookie Season
1 year agoSince securing his tour card last season via the Korn Ferry Tour points list, Chris Gotterup has been hard-pressed to find any momentum yet in 2024. The longest man on tour (with an average drive of 317.8 yards) is a sight to behold with a driver in his hand. He's ranked a modest 46th in strokes gained off the tee (0.300), but is ranked outside the top 100 in every other strokes-gained statistic. The former Sooner has certainly displayed his ability to compete at a high level, but the bright lights of the PGA Tour take some time to get used to. At $9,300 on FanDuel, he's a little too pricey to take the risk on this week.

Carson Young Makes The Cut In Second Straight Tournament
9 hours agoCarson Young finished tied for 54th at last week's The PLAYERS Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Inn. Young missed the cut in four out of his six starts in 2025, but he found his form at the Puerto Rico Open earlier this month, where he finished tied for 10th. Over the past 12 months, Young ranks in the 43rd percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Valspar Championship, 37% of approach shots came from this distance. Although Young has performed well in his last two outings, including him in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

Xander Schauffele Struggles At The PLAYERS Championship
9 hours agoXander Schauffele finished 72nd at The PLAYERS Championship last week and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valspar Championship, which will be held at Innisbrook Resort. He is still recovering from a rib injury that caused him to miss the beginning of the 2025 season and is gradually regaining his form. Over the past 12 months, Schauffele ranks in the 96th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Valspar Championship, 37% of approach shots were from this distance. Although Schauffele has had a slow start to the 2025 season, he could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.
