Michael Harrison said Viktor Hovland represents a solid betting opportunity at +5500 because of his success at Bay Hill. Though he hasn’t matched his 2023 FedEx Cup–winning form, Hovland has still posted a runner-up finish at the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T-10 in 2023. In his last twelve rounds at Bay Hill, he ranks third in total strokes gained, eighth tee-to-green, and has continued to show flashes of strong ball striking in recent starts, including a T-22nd at Pebble Beach.

Michael Harrison highlighted Akshay Bhatia at +7500 as a strong value play, noting back-to-back top-10 finishes. Over his last eight worldwide starts, Bhatia has recorded four top-10 showings, with his worst result only a T-37. He currently ranks eighth in strokes gained: tee-to-green in recent events, indicating a continued upward trend in his game.

Michael Harrison identified Sahith Theegala as mispriced at +10000, citing his strong track record at Bay Hill. Theegala posted T-14 and T-6 results the last two years, which placed him third in total strokes gained during that span. Harrison also pointed out Theegala’s solid form entering this event, coming off a top-20 showing at the Genesis Invitational.

Michael Harrison advocated for Harris English at +14000, pointing to his victory just three starts ago at the Farmers Insurance Open. English was also runner-up at this tournament in 2023 and ranks fifth in total strokes gained at Bay Hill over his last twelve rounds. Harrison views his strong course history and recent form as key indicators that English is worth a bet at long odds.
