Matt Jerzyk identified Andrew Novak as a strong sleeper pick for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He observed Novak playing with Collin Morikawa, noting that Novak was outdriving the two-time major champion and appeared very confident. Jerzyk mentioned that Novak is solid across all aspects of his game and believes he could have a breakout performance similar to Kurt Kitayama before his recent win. Additionally, Novak is priced affordably at $6,300 on DraftKings with only 3% projected ownership, representing a potentially valuable DFS play.

Jason Rouslin suggested that Andrew Novak is a good value pick at $6,400 in DFS, despite missing the cut last week after a poor Friday. Rouslin argued that Novak's recent miscut unfairly skews his overall stats, and that he has been playing well in his last few events. Novak is a good driver and plays aggressively, and his iron play has been better than it appears. Given his profile and potential ceiling, Novak could be a strong boom-or-bust play, especially at his low price point.

Pat Mayo suggested that Andrew Novak might be the best player in the field at the 2025 Puerto Rico Open since he did not qualify for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mayo mentioned he liked Novak's potential despite not performing well at the Honda Classic and the Cognizant event. With Novak possibly being the strongest player in the field, Mayo sees him as a top option for betting and DFS lineups this week.

Alex Hunter singled out Andrew Novak’s three made cuts in four attempts at PGA National, including a T29 and T9. Novak enters after finishing T3, T13, MC, and T13 in his last four starts, where he notably gained strokes in every category at Torrey Pines’ South Course. Hunter also cited Novak’s top-20 ranks in both SG: Approach and SG: Putting over the last 50 rounds, making him an attractive DFS play.

Len Hochberg recommended Andrew Novak, pointing to his T9 result at PGA National a year ago and two strong finishes this season—a solo third and a T13. While Novak has missed three cuts, Hochberg identified his improving game and upside as reasons to include him in DFS builds.

Nick Borrman recommended Andrew Novak as a strong long shot bet at 55 to 1 for the 2025 Cognizant Classic, highlighting Novak’s consistency on difficult courses like the Genesis Invitational and the Farmers Insurance Open. Novak has finished T13 or better in three of his last four starts, including an impressive top-13 showing at Pebble Beach. Since last June’s RBC Canadian Open, he has made 18 starts, missing only four cuts while recording ten top-25 finishes. He also placed T9 in this event last year. Borrman emphasized Novak’s balanced game—he is one of only seven players to gain strokes across all five categories over the last six months. Beyond the outright wager, Borrman also suggested Novak at +550 for a top-10 finish or +250 for a top-20.
