Keith Stewart highlighted Nick Taylor as a strong pick for the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to his recent form and impressive performance on the practice range. Stewart observed that Taylor was hitting the ball exceptionally well during practice, describing him as a 'stripe show' and noting that he 'doesn't miss a shot.' Despite not having the same power as top players like Ludvig Aberg or Scottie Scheffler, Taylor's ball striking is just one notch below. Additionally, Taylor is a dangerous player when he's hot with the putter, and his confidence makes him unafraid to compete in any field.

Keith Stewart highlighted Nick Taylor as the best value play on the board for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Stewart emphasized that despite being priced lower in DFS and odds, Taylor has won three times in the last two years, demonstrating his ability to contend and win. He noted that Taylor is hitting the ball exceptionally well and is a 'killer' who is often undervalued compared to other players like Ben Griffin or Russell Henley, who have not won as much recently.

Alex Hunter singled out Nick Taylor as an elite DFS value after T12th at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Canadian has yet to miss a cut in six 2025 starts, including four top-25 finishes, a Sony Open victory, and a T9 at the Genesis Invitational. Ranking fourth in SG: Approach, Taylor significantly outperforms his price tag.

Ben Everill suggested Nick Taylor (+850) for a top-10 finish. He believes Taylor’s approach game is dialed in and sees this as a high-upside play, acknowledging Taylor can be inconsistent but has big upside potential.

Casey Johnston believes Nick Taylor (+360) will be the top Canadian finisher. Johnston noted Taylor’s early-season win in Hawaii and a Signature Event top 10 at The Genesis, while other Canadians come in off missed cuts.

Rick Gehman highlighted Nick Taylor as an outstanding value pick at $6,700 for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Taylor is ranked as the fourth-best player in the field over the last 20 rounds, boasting impressive ball-striking numbers. He has already won this year and secured T12 at the American Express and T9 at the Genesis Invitational. Taylor finished 12th at Bay Hill last year and, despite mixed course history, Gehman believes he is in excellent form and capable of winning a signature event. His ability to produce strong tee-to-green numbers makes him a compelling option at this price.

Kenny Kim highlighted Nick Taylor as a value DFS play at $6,700. Taylor is entering the event with a recent top-10 finish and placed 12th at Bay Hill last year. Kim noted that Taylor ranks second or third in his model among players in the $6K range. He emphasized Taylor's 'electric' iron play, high birdie counts, and exceptional long iron performance from 175-200 yards and beyond 200 yards, suggesting that Taylor is a strong candidate for DFS lineups this week.

Jason Rouslin highlighted Nick Taylor as a strong under-the-radar pick at $6,700 in DFS and 100-1 odds in betting markets. Despite off-the-tee stats that might not initially impress, Rouslin pointed out that when focusing on specific driving distance ranges of 270 to 310 yards, Taylor ranks in the top 11 in strokes gained off the tee in the field. This specific performance could give Taylor a significant advantage on this course, making him a valuable pick at his low price point and attractive betting odds.

Pat Mayo noted that Nick Taylor is a pretty sticky course history guy, suggesting that his strong performances on familiar courses make him a good pick in tournaments where he has had past success.
