Rory McIlroy's last major championship victory came in 2014 and he'll look to end that drought this week at the Old Course. McIlroy infamously opened the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews by shooting 63-80 before ultimately finishing in a share of third place. He was forced to miss the 2015 version with an injury. The 33-year-old returns the legendary layout for this edition of the Open in sharp form with top-10 finishes in all three of this year's major championships and a victory at the RBC Canadian Open last month. McIlroy sits atop DFS salary scales this week and is an elite fantasy option in all formats. --Joe Nicely - RotoBaller

Many years throughout Rory McIlroy's career have seemed ripe for him to capture a green jacket. Aside from the collapse in 2011, much of his inability to convert at Augusta has been from slow starts and poor play around the greens. In his last four starts at The Masters, McIlroy has lost strokes around the green in three of them; 2022 being the outlier, where he gained an average of +2.01 in this area and finished in solo second. The Northern Irishman has undoubtedly been the hottest player this season, with two wins already under his belt and leading the PGA Tour in total strokes gained average (+2.319). The work he's put into the mental side of his game is evident by the uncharacteristically strong start to the year and his recent performances in majors. Buying into the hype this year might honestly be worth it.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

There is no other way to explain the Rory McIlroy show making a stop in Houston this week than that he feels as close as he possibly ever has to winning a green jacket. It's certainly the hottest start to a season he's had in quite some time, coming off the second Players Championship win of his career and notching a victory at Pebble Beach earlier in the year. 2025 could very well be the year for the Northern Irishman, which draws concerns for him from a DFS perspective this week. At $13,200 on FanDuel, getting to his pricetag will be hard enough, but how serious he takes this week is another major concern. It feels like he's only a useful asset with a win, which doesn't seem like it would be of much importance given the bigger prize in a couple of weeks.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

Since his victory in 2019, Rory McIlroy has not had the greatest of times at the Stadium Course. Putting has been the main concern during that time, as he lost a combined -13.28 strokes on the greens between 2021 and 2023. That has luckily been a strong point of emphasis for the 35-year-old this season, as he has ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained putting in two of four events. Given that he averaged -0.28 strokes gained on approach at Bay Hill, the iron play is perhaps the largest question mark heading into Thursday. Still, McIlroy is a weekly asset and should warrant any consideration DFS players are willing to give him.--Todd McGill - RotoBaller

Rory McIlroy finished tied for 17th at the Genesis Invitational last month and is now focusing on preparing for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which takes place this week at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club. This will be McIlroy's third PGA Tour event of the year, and he has played well so far in 2025, including a victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Historically, McIlroy has fared well at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing tied for 21st in 2024 and tied for second in 2023. He could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller
