Patrick Rodgers A Player To Fade At The American Express
4 mins agoPatrick Rodgers enjoyed a solid stretch of golf in the second half of 2024. Dating back to July, the 32-year-old Stanford University alum only missed one cut in 12 appearances, racking up five top-25 finishes along the way. But he appeared rusty with a missed cut in his 2025 debut at the Sony Open last week, and there's little reason to believe he'll fare any better at PGA West. While Rodgers is one of the better Poa putters in the field, he ranks outside of the top-50 in a number key statistical categories over the last 6 rounds this week, including good drive percentage, approach play, around-the-green, opportunities gained, and strokes gained on easy courses. He also missed the cut here in two of his five career appearances here, with his best finish being a T40 in 2022. Fantasy managers should consider higher-upside golfers in the low-$7,000 range on DraftKings this week.
