Adam Scott is 44 years old. The Australian golfer's last win was at the 2020 Genesis Invitational. He has a history of unexpected success at tournaments like the one upcoming at Torrey Pines. He has 14 wins on the PGA Tour. Also, he has consecutive Top-25 finishes in his two PGA events this 2025 season. Scott started off very slow at Pebble Beach and that cannot happen at Torrey Pines. However, it is tough to ignore that final round 64. That included six birdies on the final nine holes (which was his start). Scott is another one of those golfers who could find the conditions suitable to his game this week. That makes him a value DFS or betting choice.

Andrew Novak has been almost all or nothing in 2025. The American golfer has missed the cut three times in five events. However, he tied for 13th at Pebble Beach and nearly won the Farmers Insurance Open in January. Novak settled for an outright third after a final round 74. Given the conditions and carnage, few fared well on a day where the average round was several strokes above par. Only two golfers were below 70. With how tough the conditions may be around the greens and shifting onshore winds, Novak could have a challenge this time around. Novak might be a fade for DFS and betting options this week.

Robert MacIntyre enjoyed the atmosphere at Scottsdale on his way to a top-10 result. The Scottish golfer could see conditions over the first two days at Torrey Pines similar to a late spring afternoon in Scotland. Rainy, and at times windy weather, could impact the golf course. MacIntyre's consistency was vital to his finish. If his putter works even around average, that could put the golfer into contention. His birdie average is 5.1 to start off 2025, which ranks 10th on the tour. His early actual scoring average also is in the top 10 at 68.38. Again, he is under the radar here coming into Torrey Pines, which could make for a nice top-10 or top-20 wager.

Stephan Jaeger rode out a tough week at Pebble Beach. The German golfer weathered the storm and shot a 67 in the final round to crack the Top 40. Since his T-3rd at the Sony Open, Jaeger has had an uneven time. That included last month at Torrey Pines where he missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open. A 76 in Round 2 was common in the adverse and windy conditions. This week could feature heavy rains on Thursday into late Thursday night. Shifting winds on Friday could impact Jaeger again. The onshore push seemed to bother his shots in January. Jaeger ranks 24th in strokes gained to putting so once he gets on the green, the golfer could be a DFS value option.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout surprised many with his T4 finish at the WM Phoenix Open last week. The 30-year-old South African impressively gained four and a half strokes from tee-to-green and over seven strokes putting, remaining in contention throughout all four rounds. However, that tournament marked the first time he gained strokes on approach since August of 2024, a stretch of golf that included seven other measured starts. Bezuidenhout may not fare as well as last week, as he ranks 66th in approach play, 68th in total driving, 70th in opportunities gained, and 68th in par 5 scoring over the last 36 rounds. These stats are typically a recipe for disaster at Torrey Pines, and fantasy managers should consider tempering their expectations for Bezuidenhout following last week's dominant performance.

Billy Horschel has had an intriguing 2025 so far. The American golfer looked right for consecutive weeks and finished T-9th at Pebble Beach. However, the WM Phoenix Open and Sony Open were different stories sandwiched in. Horschel missed the cut (+1) at Scottsdale due to a lack of birdies. Round 2 was a wild ride with bogeys and eagles along with everything in between. He plays best when the putts are falling. Overall putting has been average this year where he ranked 21st in strokes gained to putting in 2024. It is early but maybe some softer greens from expected rains at Torrey Pines will help Horschel and some other normally good putters.

Thomas Detry moved one step closer to becoming a household name with his dominant performance at the WM Phoenix Open. The 32-year-old Belgian gained close to 20 total strokes on the field and closed out his first Tour victory with a 6-under 65 on Sunday, easily fending off the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler who were chasing him down the leaderboard on Sunday. Detry could be in line for another top-tier performance at Torrey Pines, as he ranks second in par 4 scoring between 450-500 yards, 23rd around-the-green, 10th in birdie-or-better percentage, first in Poa putting, and fifth in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. He also gained strokes across-the-board en route to a T15 finish at Torrey Pines just three starts ago. Fantasy managers should strongly consider exposure to Detry once again at the Genesis Invitational.

Max Greyserman was tremendously popular for fantasy managers in the Fall Swing and was even knocking on the door for his first Tour victory. The 29-year-old Duke Blue Devil kicked off his second year on Tour with four top-10 finishes in just six appearances, including a T2 finish at the Zozo Championship. He seemed poise to carry that momentum into 2025 following his T7 showing at The American Express, but his last three starts have left much to be desired. Greyserman finished T48 at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am due to a hand injury, and posted a middling T49 finish at last week's WM Phoenix Open. Perhaps most troubling, his normally electric flat-stick has let him down recently, losing over two strokes on the greens in his last two starts. The difficult test awaiting at Torrey Pines is not a great spot to find a return to form, and fantasy managers should seek higher-upside golfers in better form in the low-$7,000 range on DraftKings.

Max Homa heads to the Genesis Invitational in shaky form, and it will likely be hard for fantasy managers to justify rostering him once again this week. Since the turn of the calendar year, he's finished T26 at The Sentry in a watered-down field, withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open at nine over par, finished T53 at last week's Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and missed the cut at last week's WM Phoenix Open. The six-time Tour winner could be in for another disappointing week at Torrey Pines, as he ranks 65th in total driving, 54th on approach, 60th in birdie-or-better percentage, and 70th in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. Fantasy managers should strongly consider waiting for a return to form before rostering Homa in the foreseeable future.

Si Woo Kim will likely be a popular golfer for fantasy managers this week, and rightfully so. The 29-year-old South Korean is coming off a 12th-place showing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T21 at the WM Phoenix Open, and he also notched a T6 result at the Zozo Championship during the Fall Swing. The four-time PGA Tour winner could be in line another solid week at Torrey Pines, as he ranks 17th in good drive percentage, 15th on approach from 175-225 yards, 21st around-the-green, 17th in birdie-or-better percentage, and fourth in par 5 scoring over the last 36 rounds. While Kim did miss the cut at Torrey Pines at the Farmers Insurance Open three weeks ago, fantasy managers should look to capitalize on his $7,100 DraftKings salary at the Genesis Invitational.

Rory McIlroy is arguably enjoying one of the best stretches of golf in his illustrious career. Since his T9 at the Tour Championship to close out last season, The 35-year-old Northern Irishman has racked up six finishes inside of the top-10 in his last seven starts, including two runner-up finishes and two outright victories. Most recently, the OWGR No. 1 cruised to a two-shot victory over his good friend Shane Lowry at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, gaining over seven strokes from tee-to-green and over three and a half strokes putting. He could be in line for another top-10 showing at the Genesis Invitational, as he ranks first in driving distance, fourth in total driving, 13th on approach, first in birdie-or-better percentage, and ninth in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds, while also boasting the second-best course history at Torrey Pines. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if McIlroy finds himself in contention for back-to-back Tour victories come Sunday evening.

J.T. Poston will likely be on the radar of fantasy managers this week. The 31-year-old Georgia native finished inside of the top-10 in all three of his Fall Swing starts, including his third Tour victory at the Shriners Children Open, and enters the Genesis Invitational on the heels three-straight made cuts, including a T16 at last week's WM Phoenix Open. He could be in line for another solid showing at Torrey Pines, as he ranks 21st in driving accuracy, 24th on approach, fifth around-the-green, 27th in birdie-or-better percentage, and 18th in par 5 scoring over the last 36 rounds. Poston profiles as a value play as the 36th-most expensive golfer in the field, and fantasy managers should consider gaining exposure to him at the Genesis Invitational this week.

Fantasy managers placing an emphasis on recent form this week will certainly have their eyes on Sepp Straka. The 31-year-old Austrian has been on fire in the 2025 calendar year, making five consecutive cuts and racking up finishes of T15, T30, 1st, T7, and 15th along the way. Perhaps even more impressive, he's gained strokes off-the-tee and on approach in eight consecutive starts dating back to September of 2024. While he did miss the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2024, he posted a T16 in 2022 and a T32 in 2021, and he's undoubtedly in much stronger form heading to Torrey Pines this week. While Straka's distance off-the-tee may be a disadvantage, he does rank 16th in driving accuracy, seventh in good drive percentage, seventh on approach, fifth in par 5 scoring, and sixth in opportunities gained over the last 36 rounds. There's no reason to start fading Straka this week, especially at his flat $8,000 DraftKings salary.

Golf fans will likely remember Will Zalatoris' performance at the Genesis Invitational last year. Not only did the 28-year-old Tour star finish runner-up to Hideki Matsuyama, but he also made an incredible hole-in-one on the par-3 14th hole at The Riviera Country Club to win himself and his caddie new cars. While this year's tournament will be played at Torrey Pines, he could be in line for another spectacular week. At the South Course, golfers will see tight fairways and some of the smallest greens on Tour, and Zalatoris ranks 13th in driving accuracy and eighth in greens in regulation so far this season. He's also had great results at the Farmers Insurance Open in the past, finishing T13 in 2024, runner-up in 2022, and T7 in 2021, and he notoriously raises his baseline in difficult scoring conditions. Zalatoris profiles as a cut-maker with top-10 upside at this week's Genesis Invitational, and he may very well find himself in contention for his second Tour victory come Sunday evening.

Brian Harman already has competed in five events in 2025. The American golfer does have two Top 25 results but nothing inside the Top 20. Harman has been a few shots short of contending here and there. Part of that is early putting issues as he ranks 153rd in strokes gained to putting (-0.499). His putting issues have compounded in final rounds where he averages 33 putts a round. Last year that number was 27.6. A number that large is why Harman missed the cut at The American Express and cannot contend. Overall putting was inside the Top 40 in 2024 and 27th in 2023. Harman must start making putts when it counts otherwise he may not be a viable DFS or betting option.
