Todd McGill said that Scottie Scheffler remains a top DFS play for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, citing his two prior wins at Bay Hill and a field-leading total strokes gained average of +2.856. Scheffler sits top-five in three of the four strokes gained metrics on this course. Although his driver has not been as sharp recently, McGill pointed to Scheffler’s improving short game at Torrey Pines and his exceptional course history as key reasons why he could notch another victory.

Todd McGill highlighted Rory McIlroy’s strong record at Bay Hill, referencing multiple top finishes and his 2018 win. McIlroy has managed positive strokes gained in all categories over his last 20 rounds here, even though his putting (+0.222) has caused occasional frustration. While he posted a T21 last year, McIlroy has otherwise been extremely consistent at this venue, making him a reliable DFS target.

Todd McGill identified Corey Conners as a noteworthy play based on his strong iron performance at Bay Hill, averaging +1.320 strokes gained on approach over his last 18 rounds. Conners finished third here in 2021 and T11 in 2022, defying the usual recipe for success by thriving primarily on iron play. Though Conners’s Bermuda putting has been inconsistent, McGill believes this portion of the schedule suits him well for DFS consideration.

Todd McGill noted Ben Griffin’s back-to-back T4 finishes in Mexico and at PGA National as reasons why he could excel again at Bay Hill. Despite just one prior start here resulting in a T14 finish, Griffin’s comfort on bermuda putting surfaces and recently better iron play make him an under-the-radar DFS option. McGill predicts his course history could improve further this week based on Griffin’s current momentum.
