Si Woo Kim's T45 finish at the Valero Texas Open may not be overly exciting, but it is his fourth consecutive cut he has made. It's a bit of a backtrack after last weekend's second-place finish at the RBC Heritage, but on the bright side for Kim, it is another week of made-cut consistency. Kim played better than his one-under score would indicate. His 71-74-71-71 scorecard provided a total of 13 birdies, 12 bogeys, one eagle and one double-bogey. Kim ranked in the top 10 in strokes gained off the tee (3.683) and strokes gained around the green (4.216). Historically, Kim's irons and putter have gotten the best of him and this weekend provided a similar narrative. Kim lost negative-6.645 strokes on his approach shots, and although he did gain 0.379 strokes putting, Sunday produced 2.745 strokes towards that total. The 22-year-old Kim still has flaws in his game that need to be worked out, but he is transforming into a much more consistent golfer before our eyes.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller

Si Woo Kim finished tied for eighth at the RBC Heritage two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's CJ Cup Byron Nelson, held at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. Prior to the RBC Heritage, Kim had missed the cut in two consecutive events. He has five top-25 finishes this season out of 13 starts. Over the past 12 months, Kim ranks in the 94th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because over 38% of approach shots at last year's CJ Cup Byron Nelson came from this distance. Kim could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller

Prior to his missed cut at the Texas Children's Houston Open, Si Woo Kim recorded five straight top-38 finishes, including four inside the top 25. He looks to get back on track at the Valero Texas Open, an event he has competed in seven times, making the cut in six straight appearances with four finishes of T23 or better. To repeat this success, Kim will need to be accurate with his approach game. He currently ranks 73rd in strokes gained on approach (0.174 per round), 88th in greens in regulation, and is in the 84th percentile for proximity from 200-plus yards, a range that accounted for 28.7% of all approach shots here last year. While he has found success in other areas, Kim's biggest strength is around the green, where he ranks 23rd in strokes gained (0.341 per round). Given his strong course history and solid form prior to the Houston Open, we're willing to overlook his missed cut and consider him a solid play at his $8,700 price tag on DraftKings.--Dakota Legg - RotoBaller

This will be the fourth edition of this event that Si Woo Kim has played at Memorial Park Golf Course after making two previous starts at the Golf Club of Houston. In those three outings, he progressed from a missed cut in 2021 to a T35 in 2023 and a T17 last season. Strokes gained on approach metrics seem to be his make-or-break stat that has spelled out success or not at this event. The three events where he's gained strokes have resulted in a T35 or better, the two he hasn't has led to him not playing the weekend. Given his disadvantage in length off the tee, it's easy to see why his approach play is the key metric by default. The South Korean has gained strokes in this area in four of his last five starts at an average of +0.552, which makes him a decent spot-play at $10,500 on FanDuel. --Todd McGill - RotoBaller

With four top-25 finishes, Si Woo Kim has had a solid start to the 2025 season. This past week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he finished T-19. His best finish was at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he placed 12th. TPC Sawgrass is a venue where he has seen success with a victory back in 2017, where he won by three shots. The key to success at the stadium course is accuracy off the tee and precision with the short and mid irons. Kim ranks 24th in driving accuracy and 50th in strokes gained approach to green. After finishing T-6 in last year's PLAYERS championship, he is bound to contend again this week. He is a strong play in DFS at his $9,200 price tag. --Jake Walker - RotoBaller
