Jack Milko said Daniel Berger will snap his four-year winless drought at the Cognizant Classic. Milko noted Berger’s strong track record at PGA National, pointing to his 2015 playoff loss and multiple top-five finishes, as well as the fact he grew up nearby in Plantation, Florida. Berger has also rebounded from a lengthy back injury layoff, recently finishing second at the WM Phoenix Open and placing 12th at the Genesis Invitational. Milko emphasized Berger’s fourth-ranked strokes gained tee-to-green metric and consistent play as clear indicators that he is a solid betting choice to contend this week.

RJ Ochoa said Billy Horschel is an underrated pick to win the Cognizant Classic, citing his Florida roots and a recent top-10 finish at Pebble Beach. Horschel’s strong showings at TGL matches suggest he is finding momentum at just the right time, and Ochoa believes that his performance on home turf could make him a smart bet in a tournament field lacking many marquee names.

Mark Schofield said he is sticking with Shane Lowry to win the Cognizant Classic, doubling down on a pick he previously made despite Lowry’s lackluster finish at Genesis. Schofield noted Lowry’s early-season form, which initially made him an enticing underdog, has now positioned him among the favorites at +2000. Schofield believes this shift reflects Lowry’s overall skill set and the relatively weaker field in South Florida, making Lowry a solid betting choice as the tour heads into the ‘Bear Trap’ this week.
