Byron Lindeque discussed that Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler, not receiving invitations to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, will be playing in the Cognizant Classic. Byron believes that their participation makes them massive favorites in that event, describing them as 'massive fish in a small pond.' This suggests they are strong plays for fantasy golf and betting purposes.

Bob Weeks advised betting against Spieth to make the cut, pointing out that this is Spieth’s first time playing the event. Weeks noted that Spieth’s game has been inconsistent, oscillating between strong showings and disappointing rounds, increasing the risk he may struggle on a course that demands precision.

Blake Schuster argued that Jordan Spieth is likely to miss the cut at +140, citing his negative strokes gained in four of the five metrics used at PGA National. Spieth also missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational and has never played this event before, suggesting he may be using it for practice rather than being a serious contender.

Cameron DaSilva advised backing Jordan Spieth for a top-10 finish following his fourth-place result at the WM Phoenix Open. DaSilva acknowledged Spieth’s ongoing recovery from wrist surgery but pointed to the likelihood that his odds will shorten in the coming weeks, making +375 a strong current value.

Len Hochberg characterized Jordan Spieth as a risk-reward DFS pick given the limited information on his current form after wrist surgery. Hochberg highlighted Spieth’s ranking of 33rd in bogey avoidance in only 10 rounds this season and cited his T4 finish in Phoenix as evidence of his high upside if he can continue to avoid big mistakes.

Bo McBrayer declared Jordan Spieth “back” and believes he offers outstanding betting value at 40 to 1. McBrayer cited Spieth’s world-class iron play, especially when able to use more irons and hybrids off the tee instead of a driver. He also stressed that Spieth’s scrambling talents are second to none, making him especially dangerous on a layout that forces layups and punishes inaccurate drives. McBrayer anticipates a strong performance in a softer field at PGA National.

Geoff Feinberg expressed enthusiasm about Jordan Spieth playing at Pebble Beach, stating he is eager to bet on him and see him on leaderboards, indicating confidence in Spieth's performance at the event.
