Savannah Leigh Richardson highlighted Keith Mitchell’s strength in avoiding bogeys and scrambling—key traits at PGA National. Mitchell’s worst finish this season is a T33 at Pebble Beach, and though he lacks a top-10 in 2025, he recently posted a T25 (WM Phoenix Open) and T21 (American Express). As a past champion in 2019 who has logged two more top-10s here, Richardson believes his +280 odds for a top-10 finish are attractive.

Savannah Leigh Richardson said Austin Eckroat, the defending champion, has +5000 odds to win despite mixed recent performances. Eckroat started the year with a T15 finish but missed two cuts in a row before a T13 at Pebble Beach. Although he missed the last two cuts, Richardson noted that his game fits well at PGA National, making a weekend appearance likely.

Savannah Leigh Richardson picked Russell Henley to win at +2200 odds, citing his consistent play and strong start to the year, which includes two top-10 finishes in four events. Although Shane Lowry is considered a favorite too, she believes Henley’s reliability and momentum make him a prime choice to claim another PGA Tour title this week.
