Jason Rouslin recommended playing Cam Davis at $6,400 in DFS, highlighting his aggressive play style and potential for high finishes. Despite being ranked 69th off the tee, Rouslin is not concerned due to Davis's ability to hit the ball a mile and his willingness to take risks, such as using a driver on a 270-yard par 4. Davis is considered the most aggressive player on the PGA Tour. However, Rouslin noted that Davis is a boom-or-bust pick, often finishing either in the top 25 or missing the cut, with little in between. At his low price point, Davis offers significant upside for DFS players willing to accept the volatility.

Redkacheek advised playing Rory McIlroy over higher-priced options like Scottie Scheffler in DFS for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, citing Rory's excellent form, great course history at Bay Hill, recent win at Pebble Beach, and better value at $10,800 compared to Scottie's $12,000 price. He also emphasized Rory's status as the best driver of the golf ball, backed up by statistics.

Redkacheek advised avoiding Xander Schauffele in DFS for the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to his high price of $10,100, lack of great course history at Bay Hill, and the availability of better options at lower prices such as Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. He believes that Xander is an easy out this week.

Redkacheek advised playing Collin Morikawa at $9,800, highlighting his excellent driving accuracy in the 270-310 yard range, which aligns with many tee shots on this course. Morikawa ranks second in the field in driving accuracy at that distance and is renowned for his outstanding iron play. Given that Bay Hill emphasizes accuracy over distance, especially with challenging rough and difficult greens, Morikawa's skill set makes him an excellent fit. His ability to hit fairways and greens provides a significant advantage on this course where precision is key.

Jason Rouslin highlighted Justin Thomas as a strong play at $9,400, citing his elite ball striking and iron play returning to top form. Thomas has been driving the ball better, and his irons are back to being elite, similar to when he was number one on tour before Scottie Scheffler emerged. Despite his traditionally below-average putting, Rouslin believes that on this course with expected tough conditions, Thomas's ball striking will give him an advantage, and his putting won't hurt him as much. He recommends pairing Thomas with Rory McIlroy as top picks in lineup construction.

Jason Rouslin recommended playing Tommy Fleetwood at $9,100, emphasizing his strong ball striking and positive course history at Bay Hill. Fleetwood has had good performances at this course over the years, including leading going into Saturday in 2019 before the course conditions changed dramatically. Rouslin noted that Fleetwood's ball striking makes him a solid play, and he has already bet on him at 30 to 1 odds, seeing it as a great price.

Jason Rouslin advised choosing Justin Thomas over Patrick Cantlay, noting that Thomas is closer to winning and offers more upside. Although Cantlay has been consistent with top-ten finishes, his stats don't indicate a winning edge, and he hasn't won in several years. Rouslin believes Thomas's recent improvements in ball striking and iron play make him a stronger candidate for DFS and betting purposes, stating he would prefer building lineups with Thomas and Rory McIlroy rather than involving Cantlay.

Jason Rouslin highlighted Sepp Straka as a standout pick in the 8K range, noting his impressive recent form that includes a win, a T7, a 15th place, a missed cut at the Genesis at Torrey Pines, and an 11th place finish at the Honda Classic in his last five starts. Rouslin mentioned that Straka has been playing consistently well, racking up good finishes and strong statistics. He predicts that if not this week, Straka might perform exceptionally well next week at the Players Championship. He also suggested that Straka is becoming a player who could make the European Ryder Cup team.

Jason Rouslin advised against playing Will Zalatoris at $8,600 in DFS, citing his poor recent form following his back surgery. Rouslin highlighted that Zalatoris is currently 37th in strokes gained on approach, which is below his usual standard. He noted that Zalatoris's putting has never been strong enough to compensate for shortcomings in other areas. Additionally, Zalatoris is making significant swing changes to accommodate his back after a microdiscectomy, and he lacks the distance he had when he first joined the tour. Rouslin believes other players like Taylor Pendrith, Tom Kim, and Corey Conners offer better value at that price point.

Jason Rouslin advised against playing Matt Fitzpatrick at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, despite his strong course history at Bay Hill. Rouslin highlighted that Fitzpatrick's recent form has been poor and inconsistent, and he has not been playing at the level needed to succeed in this tournament. He mentioned that while Fitzpatrick typically performs well on this type of golf course, his game has been 'really scrappy' lately. Rouslin believes that recent form is more crucial than past performance at this venue when making DFS decisions.

Jason Rouslin highlighted Akshay Bhatia as a strong play for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, emphasizing his recent good form despite fatigue from previous events. Rouslin noted that Bhatia played well in Mexico, possibly due to a sponsor exemption obligation, and appears to be in good shape. With a week off to rest and return to Florida, Rouslin believes Bhatia could perform well at Bay Hill, which he feels is better suited to Bhatia's game. Although Bhatia tends to spray the ball off the tee, Rouslin thinks his precision with long irons and high ball flight will benefit him on this course. He expects Bhatia to be a strong contender over the next two weeks.

Jason Rouslin recommended considering Tom Kim as a strong play for the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to his exceptional accuracy off the tee and solid long-iron play. Rouslin noted that although Kim lacks the distance of some other players, his long irons are better than many might assume. He acknowledged that people may not view Kim as the best long-iron player because of his shorter driving distance, but Rouslin believes Kim's precision makes up for it. With Bay Hill demanding accuracy and strong iron play, Kim's skill set aligns well with the course requirements.

Jason Rouslin recommended considering Ben Griffin for DFS lineups at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, highlighting his impressive consistency in making cuts. Griffin is playing his 10th consecutive event this week and continues to deliver solid performances. At a price of $7,600, Rouslin believes Griffin offers good value. While he doesn't expect Griffin to win the tournament, Rouslin suggests including him in 'make the cut' bets and appreciates his reliability as a consistent performer who can contribute to a strong DFS roster.

Jason Rouslin advised avoiding Michael Kim in DFS this week due to the course not fitting his strengths. While acknowledging Kim's recent strong performances and growing confidence, Rouslin pointed out that the Arnold Palmer Invitational requires more driving distance than Kim typically has. Despite Kim's impressive iron and short game play recently, Rouslin expects a potential letdown this week and suggests targeting Kim next week on a shorter course that better suits his game.

Jason Rouslin recommended choosing Tom Kim over Taylor Pendrith in both DFS and betting markets. Despite both players having similar odds and price points, Rouslin noted that Tom Kim is playing as well as Pendrith right now and has added distance this year by gaining weight and strength. Kim's increased driving distance gives him an edge over Pendrith on this course. At plus 190 odds to finish top 20 compared to Pendrith's plus 175, Rouslin sees value in backing Tom Kim.

Jason Rouslin advised against playing Sahith Theegala this week, citing his poor driving statistics as a major concern. Rouslin noted that Theegala struggles with both driving distance and accuracy, which are crucial on the challenging course at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite Theegala's previous surprising successes and series of top-15 finishes, Rouslin believes his lack of proficiency off the tee means he is unlikely to contend and should be avoided in DFS and betting strategies.

Jason Rouslin recommended Davis Thompson as a strong value play at $7,200 in DFS, expecting him to bounce back after last week's missed cut. Rouslin highlighted Thompson's excellent off-the-tee game and noted that his poor performance at PGA National was likely due to challenging conditions skewing his stats. He emphasized that Thompson was popular at a higher price point the previous week and now offers great value. With strong driving ability and potential for his iron play to rebound, Thompson is seen as a perfect under-the-radar pick for this event.

Jason Rouslin highlighted J.J. Spaun as a valuable DFS pick at $7,000, emphasizing his consistent ball striking and undervalued pricing. Rouslin noted that Spaun has been having a strong year but is often overlooked due to his lower price point. Despite a disappointing finish at the Sony Open, Spaun remains a consistent performer, ranking top 10 in approach and above average overall in this field. Rouslin believes Spaun's combination of strong iron play and solid performance makes him a reliable choice for DFS lineups.

Jason Rouslin advised against playing Cameron Young this week, citing his poor recent form despite his evident talent. Rouslin noted that Young ranks 71st in approach in this field and is not currently playing at his usual high level. With better-performing options available, Rouslin recommends avoiding Young in DFS lineups until his form improves.

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.

Jason Rouslin advised against playing Max Homa at the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to his significant decline in form. Homa has been struggling recently, moving from being one of the top players to now near the bottom in a 70-man field. Rouslin compared Homa's slump to that of Cameron Young and noted that while some people might still be chasing Homa in hopes of a turnaround, it's uncertain if that week will come. Given his past struggles on tour and current performance, Homa is considered a risky pick for DFS lineups.

Jason Rouslin recommended considering Isaiah Salinda for DFS lineups, citing his recent momentum and improving performance. Salinda, a 27-year-old who was highly touted coming out of Stanford, struggled early in his career but has persisted, earning his PGA Tour card from the Korn Ferry Tour. After a T3 finish in Mexico and rallying to make the cut last week, Salinda appears to have momentum on his side. Rouslin believes that another strong finish this week could significantly boost Salinda's career, making him a worthwhile pick at his low price point.

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.

Jason Rouslin recommended including Joe Highsmith in DFS lineups, particularly for GPP tournaments. Highsmith, priced at $6,200, is coming off a strong performance with excellent iron play. Rouslin believes that if Highsmith continues to hit his irons well and keeps the ball in the fairway, he has the potential to finish in the top 20 again. Despite the stronger field this week, Highsmith's recent form makes him a value pick at his low price point.

Redkacheek cautioned against high expectations for Joe Highsmith, noting that he may struggle on the challenging greens at Bay Hill. While acknowledging Highsmith's strong tee-to-green game and recent good performance, Redkacheek pointed out that the greens at Bay Hill are tougher than those at PGA National, and Highsmith may find it difficult to make crucial putts, especially being his first time playing on fast Bermuda greens rolling at 13. He suggested including Highsmith in player pools for larger tournaments but advised tempering expectations due to potential putting struggles.

Jason Rouslin mentioned Nick Dunlap as an intriguing pick at $6,300 in DFS, despite acknowledging his poor stats, particularly off the tee. Rouslin noted that Dunlap seems to perform well in signature events and plans to include him in 5% to 10% of his lineups, especially in mass multi-entry formats. While Dunlap is a risky choice due to his statistical profile, his potential to perform in big events makes him an interesting under-the-radar option.

Jason Rouslin recommended playing Jacob Bridgeman, highlighting his impressive recent form and momentum after shooting seven under par on Sunday, nearly winning the golf tournament. Bridgeman's strong performance indicates he is playing well, and his length off the tee adds to his appeal as a value play in DFS lineups. Rouslin believes Bridgeman offers significant upside in the lower price range.

Jason Rouslin suggested considering Max McGreevy as a good value play, emphasizing his recent good form. McGreevy is playing well, and even being average statistically puts him above the average in this price range. Rouslin believes McGreevy's performance surpasses expectations for his price point, making him a worthwhile addition to DFS lineups.

Jason Rouslin recommended including Jackson Koivun in 3-5% of DFS lineups as a high-upside punt play at the minimum price. Although Koivun is not as highly ranked as some other amateurs like Luke Clanton, at his price point he offers potential value. Koivun made the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open—a big golf course—which indicates he can perform on challenging courses. Rouslin noted that Koivun is likely one of the top five amateurs currently, making him a worthwhile gamble in GPP lineups.

Redkacheek said Russell Henley’s usual lack of distance off the tee will be less of an issue at PGA National. He emphasized that the course demands hitting fairways rather than bombing drives, which plays into Henley’s accuracy strengths. He noted Henley’s poor off-the-tee metrics often stem from bigger, longer events, so this course setup should boost Henley’s DFS appeal this week.

Redkacheek said Taylor Pendrith is a strong DFS option thanks to improving approach play and great off-the-tee results. He noted that Pendrith’s irons appear flat on standard strokes gained data but the spectrum data shows more encouraging upward trends. Given Pendrith’s solid driving and recent form, he expects good value at the 9.5K salary range.

Redkacheek said Keith Mitchell is his pick in the low 9K range because Mitchell scores well from 150 to 200 yards while retaining elite off-the-tee stats. Though his overall approach metrics look just average, Mitchell’s under-par scoring in mid-to-long iron ranges should be a difference-maker at PGA National.

Redkacheek identified Byeong Hun An as a sneaky DFS play this week, noting that his mid-iron stats (150–200 yards) are better than many realize. He believes public perception of Ben An’s iron performance is too negative, creating a potentially under-owned value. This, combined with strong off-the-tee numbers, makes him a solid pick at his salary.

Redkacheek said Kurt Kitayama is a compelling DFS candidate because he grades out well in multiple advanced stat tools and finished fourth at Le Golf National in 2019, a course with similar tight fairways and water hazards. He believes the tough layout at PGA National aligns with Kitayama’s strengths, making him worthy of consideration in the 8K range.

Redkacheek said Ben Griffin is playing excellent golf and fits the course demands at PGA National, particularly with his mid-iron accuracy. He noted Griffin’s ability to stay composed under difficult conditions, calling him a strong option at 8,500 salary and pointing out his recent form plus 40-to-1 odds further underscore his DFS appeal.

Redkacheek advised caution with Michael Kim this week, explaining that Kim’s recent success has mostly come on easier courses. Given the more challenging conditions at PGA National, he would prefer to steer clear until Kim proves he can maintain those gains against tougher fields and setups.

Redkacheek said Billy Horschel should be considered in DFS, noting Horschel’s fantastic approach play despite poor off-the-tee stats. He emphasized Horschel’s strong track record on Florida Bermuda courses, which could give him an edge at this event.

Redkacheek said Luke Clanton is a strong DFS option at 7,700 due to his Florida background and comfort on Bermuda greens. Clanton, a Florida State player who grew up near West Palm Beach, missed the cut at the Farmers, but if he makes it this week, he can secure his tour card. His local course familiarity may give him an advantage.

Redkacheek said Taylor Moore tends to fare better on tougher courses where birdie opportunities are limited. He explained that Moore’s style—staying around par, mixing in a few birdies and bogeys—suits these setups. Priced at 7,600, Moore could be a viable DFS option this week.

Redkacheek said Gary Woodland is a strong DFS pick, pointing to his consistent off-the-tee and approach play. Woodland also has a favorable course history and ranks among the most reliable ball-strikers in the field, making him a safe option for lineups.

Redkacheek said Nicolai Hojgaard is worth considering for DFS due to his impressive approach numbers in the 175-200 and 200-225 yard ranges. Although he may face tee-shot challenges on this course, his strong mid-to-long iron play could help separate him from the field.

Redkacheek said Jake Knapp’s strong approach play over the last four events makes him a viable DFS option. While Knapp’s off-the-tee game is less certain, the recent iron metrics suggest potential scoring opportunities worth keeping in your player pool.

Redkacheek identified Alejandro Tosti as a potentially strong first-round bet. He highlighted Tosti’s University of Florida background, comfort on Bermuda, and solid off-the-tee plus iron play, though he noted Tosti’s putting performances have been poor so far this year.
