Keith Mitchell is what most call a smart golfer. The American takes what is given and does not try to force things. He scrambles well and avoids trouble for the most part. Mitchell is third in 2025 when it comes to bogey avoidance and scrambling. He has two Top 25 results and has not missed a cut. He plays pretty consistent and even-keeled. That is what is typically needed to contend at the Cognizant Classic. Mitchell also ranks 14th in greens in regulation. The 2019 winner has also finished inside the Top 10 two consecutive times. At +3500 via DraftKings, Mitchell has to be worth a look to contend. Even that Top 10 at +350 might merit some consideration.

Keith Mitchell has been playing great golf to start the year, with finishes of T33, T21, and T30 in his first three events. He looks to continue his form into the WM Phoenix Open, where he has competed six times, making the cut five times with three top-20 finishes. This course rewards good driving, and Mitchell excels in that area, ranking 13th in total driving, 24th in driving accuracy, and ninth in strokes gained off the tee. However, his approach game could be a concern, as he ranks 117th on tour, losing 1.726 strokes to the field. His strong course history and elite driving ability make him a solid option at $7,500 on DraftKings for fantasy managers.

Keith Mitchell kicked off his Fall Swing in strong fashion, starting with a 12th-place finish at the Procore Championship followed by a T3 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Things quickly took a turn for the worse, as the 33-year-old UGA alum finished the calendar year with four consecutive missed cuts. In his 2025 debut, he lost close to three strokes on approach while finishing with a middling T30 performance, but he returns to PGA West where he's had plenty of recent success. Mitchell gained 4.5 strokes from tee-to-green en route to a T22 finish here in 2023, and he gained strokes across the board with a T9 finish in 2024. Fantasy managers will likely struggle weighing recent form and course history when evaluating Mitchell for the 2025 American Express.

Keith Mitchell endured a difficult end to 2024. The American golfer missed four consecutive cuts and seemed to blow up every Friday like clockwork. This was highlighted by a 78 at the RSM Classic where Mitchell looked like he might withdraw. Mitchell hopes 2025 will be better. Last year, he started off well at the Sony Open (68-64). However, several missed shots and a 72 derailed any chances at a Top 10 result. Mitchell's biggest problem was the putter in 2024. He ranked 159th in strokes gained due to putting (-0.33). Worse, Mitchell averaged 29.33 putts per round (138th on tour). That makes him hard to consider even for DFS purposes.
