Kyle suggested betting on Ricky Castillo for the Puerto Rico Open due to his exceptional ball striking. Castillo led the field in ball striking at the Valspar Championship last year but missed the cut after losing six strokes putting. Kyle acknowledged concerns about Castillo's putting but noted that paspalum greens at Puerto Rico may mitigate this weakness. He believes Castillo's improved form and powerful driving make him a strong contender in this field.

Pat Mayo highlighted Ricky Castillo as a potential deep sleeper at the 2025 Mexico Open due to his strong off-the-tee game, which Mayo considers crucial on a driver-heavy course. Castillo posted a T-15 at the Farmers Insurance Open, gained distance on the field in each PGA start, and pairs that with a decent approach and putting profile. While his short game remains a liability, Mayo believes Castillo’s length and past success on tough tee shots offer strong upside in both DFS and betting formats, especially at lower salary or higher odds tiers.

Adam ??? mentioned Ricky Castillo at 7,200, highlighting his T-15 at the Farmers Insurance Open and his strong amateur pedigree. Castillo’s comfort in these conditions, plus a promising ball-striking profile, could lead to another surprise finish in a weaker field.
