Rick Gehman expressed optimism about Brian Campbell's prospects at the Arnold Palmer Invitational following his recent victory in Mexico. Gehman noted that although Campbell's performances on Thursday and Sunday at the Cognizant weren't very good, he was impressed with how Campbell put it together after his life-changing win. Gehman believes that Campbell will need to play from the fairway ('out of the short grass'), which suits his game, and is 'kind of in' on Campbell this week.

Matt Freedman remarked that Brian Campbell, nicknamed “soups,” showed impressive steadiness en route to his first PGA Tour win—his first victory since the 2015 NCAA Noblesville Regional. Though he benefited from a fortunate bounce off a tree, Freedman emphasized that Campbell remained calm under pressure all weekend. Freedman believes Campbell’s composed approach off the tee and consistent ball striking will translate well to the upcoming Florida swing, given the challenging layouts and penal conditions often found in that stretch of tournaments.

Mike McClure said he is fading Brian Campbell’s chances of going back-to-back following Campbell’s improbable victory in Mexico. Comparing Campbell’s win to flukes by Jim Herman and Michael Kim, McClure doubts the sustainability of Campbell’s form. He cautions that a missed cut would not be surprising given the metrics.
