Alex Hunter said Scottie Scheffler is worth paying up for at Bay Hill. Scheffler has finished first, T4th, and first at this par 72 over the last three years, highlighted by a five-shot victory that was the largest margin at the course since Tiger Woods in 2012. He's gaining 2.9 strokes per round at Bay Hill and has a 5.3 average career finish there. Scheffler has placed inside the top five in four of his past seven starts, showing elite form for DFS play.

Alex Hunter identified Justin Thomas as a prime DFS target for Bay Hill. Thomas finished T12th here last year and has looked sensational in 2025, notching three top-10 finishes in five starts. He led the field in strokes gained approach at the Genesis Invitational, marking two straight events with at least five strokes gained on approach. Thomas ranks fifth in SG: Approach overall this season, fitting a course where top iron play has been crucial to success.

Alex Hunter highlighted Tommy Fleetwood’s excellent iron play, leading the PGA TOUR in SG: Approach. Fleetwood has three top-10 finishes in eight starts at Bay Hill and comes off a T5 at the Genesis Invitational. With four top-five finishes over his last eight worldwide events, Fleetwood projects as a strong DFS option.

Alex Hunter sees Russell Henley as a strong DFS choice. Henley has finished inside the top 10 in three of his four starts in 2025 and placed T4th at Bay Hill a year ago, gaining strokes in every major category. This season, he's 19th in SG: Putting and continues to pair strong iron play with improved putting, making him a favorite for another high finish.

Alex Hunter spotlighted Shane Lowry, who finished T3rd at last year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational and has been consistently elite in his last 10 starts, placing T13 or better in eight of them. Lowry also posted a runner-up at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am—a Signature Event—and his balanced approach suits Bay Hill’s demanding setup, making him a tremendous DFS value play.

Alex Hunter recommended Corey Conners based on his strong Bay Hill track record (T3, T11, T21, T18 over his last four appearances) and his TOUR-leading proximity on approach shots from 200+ yards, a key range at this course. While Conners only has two top-25s in five starts this season, his skill set remains an excellent match for Bay Hill.

Alex Hunter labeled Adam Scott a strong DFS bargain. Scott has notched eight top-25 finishes in his last 10 starts, ranking 14th in SG: Approach and first in Par-5 Efficiency over his last 24 rounds. With Bay Hill often rewarding those who excel in both iron play and par-5 scoring, Scott also stands out for his seventh-place rank in proximity from 200+ yards.

Alex Hunter noted Si Woo Kim’s strong recent form, with three consecutive top-25 finishes. He’s gained strokes on approach in each of his last three starts and shot under par in 75% of rounds this season. Kim’s T26, T39, and T30 at Bay Hill in previous years suggests upside at an affordable DFS salary.

Alex Hunter recommends Patrick Rodgers for DFS rosters at a sub-$7K price. Rodgers has made five of six cuts this season, posting four top-25 finishes. He just finished T18th at the Cognizant Classic, ranking second in SG: Putting for the tournament. Rodgers has shot under par in 11 of his last 12 rounds and has four top-25 finishes in eight appearances at Bay Hill.

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.
