2 weeks agoHarris English finished tied for 24th at last month's Genesis Invitational and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club. He won the Farmers Insurance Open in January and has had a strong start to 2025. English has performed well at this tournament in the past, finishing tied for 21st in 2024 and tied for second in 2023. Over the past 12 months, English ranks in the 75th percentile for greens in regulation on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is particularly important because over 35% of approach shots at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational came from this distance. While Harris has had success at this event in previous years, he has also shown inconsistency at times in 2025. Therefore, including him in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

1 month agoHarris English won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines just a few weeks ago and returns to the same venue this week to compete in the Genesis Invitational. The 35-year-old had the third-best putting performance of his PGA career, gaining over six strokes with the flat stick. Despite the win, English currently ranks 139th on approach, 99th around the green, and 135th off the tee to start the year. He also ranks in the 56th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 39.6% of all approach shots at Torrey Pines. However, he ranks 17th in strokes gained in putting, and fantasy managers will need to rely on English having another career day on the greens to be in contention. This makes his $7,600 price tag on DraftKings difficult to get excited about, even though he already won here this season.

2 months agoHarris English led from wire-to-wire en route to his fifth PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open last week. The 35-year-old Tour veteran did so in dominant fashion, impressively gaining strokes on approach, around-the-green, and putting in all three measured rounds. He could be in line for another elite finish at Pebble Beach this week, as he ranks 27th on approach from 100-125 yards, 17th around-the-green, fourth in scrambling, 22nd in Poa putting, and eighth in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. In what is largely considered to be a wedges and putting contest, with the required skill set to get up-and-down on the smallest greens on Tour, fantasy managers should strongly consider exposure to English once again this week.

2 months agoHarris English played steady golf last week and inched his way up the leaderboard last week. The American golfer did not perform well at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2024. His 75-73 to end the tournament dropped him outside the Top 50. Since COVID, the event in Torrey Pines has not been kind to English with a few missed cuts for good measure. He seems to struggle at the event which starts on Wednesday. Approaching greens has been a big issue early in 2025 too. English ranked 149th in strokes gained (-0.325) with the metric in 2024. That includes 128th in GIR (Greens In Regulation) at 65.89%. English could have a challenge again at the Farmers Insurance Open.
