Russell Henley finished tied for sixth at last week's Cognizant Classic and is now preparing to tee it up at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. Henley has not missed a cut in 2025 and finished tied for fourth at this tournament in 2024 while finishing T53 in 2023. It's important to note that at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, over 35% of approach shots were taken from 150-200 yards. Over the past 12 months, Henley has ranked in the 75th percentile for approach shots from this distance in the fairway. Henley could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Harris 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.

Corey Conners finished tied for 24th at the Genesis Invitational last month and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club. He has missed only one cut in 2025 and has historically performed well at this tournament, finishing tied for 18th in 2024 and tied for 21st in 2023. It's important to note that at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, over 35% of approach shots came from distances of 150-200 yards. Over the past 12 months, Conners has ranked in the 99th percentile for approach shots from that distance in the fairway. Given this performance, he could be a solid addition to DFS lineups this week.

Keegan Bradley finished T34 at last month's Genesis Invitational and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, taking place at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club. In 2025, he has yet to miss a cut and has played well in this tournament in previous years, finishing T36 in 2024 and T10 in 2023. Over the past 12 months, Bradley ranks in the 73rd percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is important because, at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, over 35% of approach shots came from this distance. Given Bradley's recent form and his history at this tournament, he could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Ludvig Aberg won the Genesis Invitational last month and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, held at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club. Aberg's only other appearance in this tournament was last year, where he finished tied for 25th place. Over the past 12 months, Aberg has ranked in the 82nd percentile for greens in regulation percentage on 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. Aberg has been performing well this year and could be a strong addition to DFS lineups.

Things certainly haven't been pretty for Emiliano Grillo lately. The 32-year-old Argentinian has played in five events since the start of the 2025 calendar year, posting two missed cuts, a withdraw, a 76th two weeks ago, and a T65 at last week's Mexico Open. He typically leans on solid iron play to contend, and he's lost strokes in that category in all five of his starts this year. Equally woeful, he's lost strokes ball-striking in four of those five starts. While Grillo does have a T8 finish here in 2018, he missed the cut in his last two starts here in 2019 and 2020. Fantasy managers should consider waiting for a return to form before rostering Grill in their fantasy lineups.

Sam Ryder was a model of inconsistency last year, but the 2025 calendar year has been a different story so far. The OWGR No. 194 had made the cut in all five of his starts this year, and he's gained strokes on approach and putting in four of those appearances. He also boasts excellent course history at PGA National, as he's made the cut in all four of his Cognizant Classic starts, including a T8 in 2021, a T9 in 2022, and a T21 in his recent start in 2024. Over the last 36 rounds, he ranks 11th in good drive percentage, 36th in driving accuracy, 29th on approach, and 29th in opportunities gained. Ryder can be streaky with the putter, but he's picked up over four strokes putting in his last two starts here. Fantasy managers should strongly consider exposure to Ryder and his $7,100 DraftKings salary at the Cognizant Classic this week.

Matt Kuchar appears to be a safe option at the Cognizant Classic this week. The 46-year-old Tour veteran made the cut in five of his seven starts in the Fall Swing, and he heads to Palm Beach Gardens on the heels of four consecutive made cuts, including three finishes inside of the top-25. While he has missed the cut in his previous two starts here, he appears to be a solid course fit for PGA National, as he ranks 14th in driving accuracy, 46th in scrambling percentage, 23rd around-the-green, 25th in Bermuda putting, and 20th in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. The 9-time Tour winner has also gained strokes on approach in seven consecutive measured events. With a flat $7,000 DraftKings salary, Kuchar profiles as a cut-maker with top-20 upside at the Cognizant Classic.

Knowing what to do with Taylor Pendrith as the PGA Tour heads to Florida is tough. The Canadian had a good run on the West Coast, including two top-10s and a top-15 in five starts. However, his success has lived and died by the ball striking, as he's lost strokes on the greens in four of five events. What's more concerning is that the T50 in the Genesis Invitational a couple of weeks ago was because the 33-year-old lost strokes in every metric besides off the tee (+1.28). That won't be enough to get around PGA National unscathed, and if he doesn't find a way to crack the top 15 in the field in strokes gained on approach, he probably won't do much for DFS lineups.

Prior to missing the cut at the Genesis Invitational, Gary Woodland had posted three straight top-22 finishes to start the year. He now looks to get back on track at the Cognizant Classic, an event where he has missed the cut just once in 10 appearances, with four career top-10 finishes. Woodland has gained the majority of his strokes this season off the tee (7.504) but has also been impressive on approach, gaining 0.421 strokes per round. Given the challenging nature of PGA National, this part of his game will be crucial for success. Woodland ranks in the 94th percentile for greens in regulation from 150-200 yards and in the 80th percentile for proximity from the same distance, which accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at this course. This is especially important for Woodland, as he has lost 3.984 strokes combined in putting and around the green. At $7,500 on DraftKings, Woodland presents solid value and could be a core piece in any DFS lineup.

Kris Ventura has been in solid form over his last four events with finishes of T58, T4, T49, and most recently a T25 at the Mexico Open. He now looks to the Cognizant Classic, an event he has played in once before, missing the cut in 2021. PGA National is a demanding course that requires precision on approach, and Ventura ranks 39th in strokes gained on approach, averaging 0.435 strokes gained per round. He is also in the 87th percentile over the past 12 months in greens in regulation from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of all approach shots at this course. The only area where Ventura has struggled this season is around the greens, so hitting greens in regulation will be key to his success. At a price tag of $6,900 on DraftKings, fantasy managers can confidently consider Ventura as a value play this week.

It is a season of learning for Niklas Norgaard, as he continues to get more comfortable with golf in the U.S. since earning his dual membership last season through the Race to Dubai. He's coming off a T34 last week in Mexico, where his highlights came in strokes gained off the tee(+0.23) and putting (+0.65). It wasn't the most impressive showing, but he's a big hitter with a driving distance average of 319.3 and seemingly sure putting ability. However, his approach game has been volatile and the short game has not been good, which is more typical of a big hitter. He's worth keeping an eye on moving forward, but maybe not the smartest play yet.
