Pat Fitzmaurice singled out Russell Henley as a dangerous contender at PGA National given his success on Florida tracks with Bermuda grass. Henley placed eighth here in 2020 and third in 2021, and he enters the event with two top-10 finishes in his last three tournaments. Fitzmaurice noted that Henley’s comfort on Bermuda greens and solid approach game make him a serious threat to post a winning score at this course.

Pat Fitzmaurice expressed strong interest in betting on Billy Horschel, pointing to Horschel’s track record of five top-20 finishes and three top-10s in his last eight trips to PGA National. Fitzmaurice emphasized that Horschel thrives on tough layouts, especially in Florida, and expects those course-fit dynamics to help Horschel post another contender performance.

Pat Fitzmaurice said Lee Hodges is a solid play at 75 to 1 for the 2025 Cognizant Classic. Fitzmaurice pointed to Hodges’ two top-15 finishes at PGA National in his last three appearances, as well as his two top-10 finishes on the tour this season. He believes Hodges’ game fits this course layout, making him an attractive mid-range betting option.

Pat Fitzmaurice highlighted Eric Cole as a compelling 75 to 1 selection for the 2025 Cognizant Classic, citing Cole’s runner-up finish at PGA National two years ago and his strong performance with short irons. Fitzmaurice believes Cole’s proven track record at this venue makes him an under-the-radar candidate worth considering at favorable odds.

Pat Fitzmaurice said Danny Willett is an appealing long shot at 250 to 1 for the 2025 Cognizant Classic, highlighting Willett’s top-10 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open and multiple solid outings at PGA National in his last two starts. Fitzmaurice noted Willett’s status as a former Masters champion and suggested that bettors could hedge if Willett is near the leaderboard going into the weekend.
