Favorite DFS Plays for the WM Phoenix Open

Cameron Young ($9,800)

Whether a 22nd-place finish at the Farmers Insurance Open adequately paid off his $10,000 price tag and eighth-highest-owned rate is more of a contest selection question than it is a definitive answer, but I was not on Young last week for those listed reasons.

It definitely ended up better than the Xander Schauffele trap I fell into in the $10,000 range, although I am hoping that gamers will view Young's middling result and hard-to-get-to price point if you play Scottie Scheffler as a reason he goes underowned here in Phoenix.

Young has posted back-to-back to-12 finishes at TPC Scottsdale and was the only golfer for me (outside of Scheffler) to feature over a 5% win equity return inside of my model.

Golfers who have won this contest over the last five years have produced almost a 24% dispersion mark off-the-tee, which helps Young's ninth-place grade at "Driver Heavy" courses and newfound putting acumen in 2025. If that flat stick continues to cooperate, the sky is the limit for him at similar tests moving forward.

Jordan Spieth ($8,200)

I never play Jordan Spieth. I always find the ownership to be too high or the game to be too erratic, but there is a reason the American has thrived at TPC Scottsdale over the years.

Scottsdale is a venue that massively rewards players who are not only aggressive in their mentality but also sometimes wayward off the tee. Sure, big misses are there to create havoc if you find yourself behind a cactus or rock, but the overall low-missed fairway penalty allows a name like Spieth to reap the benefits of his aggression.

As I said with Young, the three-time major winner is also an immaculate putter at similar courses and has posted four top-6 finishes at the venue over his last five years. Let's not ignore one of the best "course fit" golfers in the world, and let's 100% not ignore him at a venue that consistently shows the same returns yearly.

Pierceson Coody ($8,000)

In the midst of Scottie Scheffler dominating the world of golf, we are starting to see real turning points in players' ascents or descents, reflecting their actual long-term profiles.

It doesn't mean these answers will stick forever, but someone like Collin Morikawa has continued to go in the wrong direction for over six months now, while names like Chris Gotterup and Cameron Young are thriving and entering new heights.

With that answer, we are seeing odds boards and DFS slates shift their price points, but I am almost more intrigued by that next tier of golfers (Pierceson Coody, Jake Knapp, etc.) because the ceiling might be higher than gamers realize.

Coody has been brilliant since the Sanderson Farms, posting nine made cuts in a row and seven top-25 finishes. That floor has continued to make him a DFS staple for me during pretty much all his starts, but I think the ceiling here is where the real intrigue comes into play.

Coody's first-place grade in my model for "aggression" highlights the risk-reward aspect that TPC Scottsdale delivers, and his fifth-place grade for Weighted Driving might be enough to finally unlock PGA Tour glory.

 

$7,800 (Or Less)

Here is where I stand with most everyone at this moment from that group above:

Kurt Kitayama and Daniel Berger remain on my hate list. I can't seem to get them right ever. I am holding back thoughts on them for the time being. 

Michael Thorbjornsen, Rasmus Hojgaard, and Sam Stevens are easy to go back to in builds. Thorbjornsen and Hojgaard, in particular, are very aggressive golfers who increase their ceiling output at a course like TPC Scottsdale. Despite what my model says, I probably prefer Rasmus to Nicolai. 

I love Alex Smalley this week if you are in a pinch inside the $6,000 range. He was one of only 13 golfers to crack the top 60 of all seven statistical categories that I weighed in Phoenix. A lot of those names are going to be popular for DFS, although I am not quite as sure if he will fit into that mold.
