Min Woo Lee Ready For Second Trip To Sawgrass
1 year agoMin Woo Lee has rolled over his strong finish from 2023 into some impressive numbers to start 2024. The 25-year-old has made all five cuts thus far, including a T2 finish at the Cognizant Classic two weeks ago. Lee has extreme upside with both his irons and his putter. To end 2023, the Australian was consistently gaining strokes with the flat stick, including two events where he eclipsed 6.0 strokes gained putting. This year, he's already shown great strokes gained approach ability multiple times, so it's clear he has what it takes to take down a tournament on any given weekend. Lee placed sixth in his PLAYERS debut last season, and with strong form coming in, golf bettors and DFS managers alike are flocking to the value option this week.

Min Woo Lee Continues Playing Solid Golf Heading To Arnold Palmer Invitational
2 weeks agoMin Woo Lee finished T11 at last week's Cognizant Open and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, which will be held at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club. Lee has been in excellent form so far in 2025 and has not missed a cut in any of his appearances this season. In previous years at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Lee has had mixed results, finishing T44 in 2024 and missing the cut in 2023. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 37th percentile for approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because, at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, over 35% of approach shots came from this distance. While Lee could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week, it's important to note that including him does carry some risk.

Min Woo Lee Aims To Keep The Momentum Going At PGA National
2 weeks agoMin Woo Lee has been in excellent form to start 2025 with finishes of T17, T12, and most recently a 48th-place finish at the Genesis Invitational. Since this is his worst result since missing the cut at the Wyndham Championship in August of 2024, we are willing to overlook it. Lee will look to keep the momentum going at the Cognizant Classic, an event where he finished T2 in 2024 and T26 in 2023. The only area where Lee has struggled this season is on approach, where he ranks 142nd in strokes gained, which will be critical this week. Despite losing strokes on approach, Lee currently ranks in the 89th percentile in greens in regulation from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at PGA National. Given his strong course history and continued solid form, fantasy managers can confidently trust Lee at his $9,200 price tag on DraftKings this week.

Min Woo Lee In Great Form Ahead Of Genesis Invitational
1 month agoMin Woo Lee has gotten off to a strong start in 2025, recording finishes of T12 and T17 in his first two PGA Tour events. He now turns his focus to the Genesis Invitational, which will be held at Torrey Pines this year, a course he has played just once before, finishing T43 in 2024 at the Farmers Insurance Open. Lee ranks seventh in scrambling, fourth in strokes gained around the green, 16th in bogey avoidance, and second on approaches from 200-plus yards -- a distance that accounts for 26.3% of all approach shots at Torrey Pines. He also ranks 23rd in strokes gained off the tee and third in driving distance -- two categories that will be critical this week. Despite limited course history, Lee is arguably in the best form of his PGA career and excels in almost all of the key stats for this week. Fantasy managers should continue to play him until he gives them a reason not to.

Min Woo Lee Has Hot Hand Ahead Of WM Phoenix Open
1 month agoMin Woo Lee has enjoyed a solid stretch of golf in recent months and should have plenty of confidence heading into the WM Phoenix Open. Since his defeat at the Presidents Cup, the 26-year-old Australian has finished T27 or better seven consecutive events, including back-to-back T17s at the Dubai Desert Classic and Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He gained strokes on approach and putting in both of those events, and those areas are crucial for success at TPC Scottsdale. Driving distance and par 5 scoring have also correlated to success here in recent years, and Lee ranks inside of the top-10 in both of those categories over the last 36 rounds. Lee offers low risk with top-25 upside at his $7,900 DraftKings salary, and fantasy managers should considering exposure to him in the 2025 rendition of WM Phoenix Open.
