Hideki Matsuyama finished tied for 13th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last month and will now focus on preparing for this week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Portrush, United Kingdom. Matsuyama has one win, seven top-25 finishes and missed the cut three times in 17 starts this season. Over the past 12 months, Matsuyama ranks in the 98th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is worth mentioning because the average size of the greens at Royal Portrush is only 5,400 square feet.

Brooks Koepka finished tied for 32nd at last week's LIV Andalucia and will now turn his focus on preparing for this week's Open Championship held at Royal Portrush in Portrush, United Kingdom.

Gary Woodland has seen mixed results this season, missing six cuts but also recording five top-25 finishes in his first 17 events. He'll look to find more consistency at the Scottish Open, where he has played three times and finished T67, T25, and T30. To get back on track, he'll need to lean on his tee-to-green game, approach play, and driving distance. Woodland ranks 93rd from tee to green at plus-0.086 strokes per round, 45th on approach (plus-0.283), and 18th in driving distance. His biggest issue remains his putter, as he lost over seven strokes on the greens at this event last year. Still, his ball-striking gives him a clear edge, and at just $6,900 on DraftKings, Woodland brings strong value to fantasy lineups this week.

Aaron Rai has put together a solid season, missing just four cuts and posting eight top-25 finishes, including a T17 at the Travelers in his most recent start. He'll look to keep that momentum going at the Scottish Open, where he has played seven times and won in 2020. Success at the Renaissance Club depends on strong tee-to-green play and solid approach, both of which are strengths for Rai. He ranks 27th from tee to green with plus-0.769 strokes per round, 46th on approach (plus-0.280), and 22nd off the tee (plus-0.407). His only real weaknesses are with his putter, where he's losing 0.086 strokes, and in driving distance, where he ranks 166th. He also ranks in the 68th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for 41.4% of approach shots here last year. At $8,300 on DraftKings, Rai is a steady option who can be trusted to round out a fantasy lineup this week.

Maverick McNealy has quietly put together a strong season, recording six top-10 finishes and missing just three cuts in 18 starts. He'll aim to keep that momentum going at the Scottish Open, where he has competed once in 2022 and finished T16. Success at the Renaissance Club requires solid tee-to-green play, strong approach shots, and good driving distance, all areas where McNealy has been solid. He ranks 44th from tee to green (plus-0.482 strokes per round), 41st on approach (plus-0.304), and 76th in driving distance, while also sitting 34th in putting (plus-0.257). He ranks in the 60th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 41 percent of approach shots here last year. At $8,000 on DraftKings, McNealy brings a well-rounded game that makes him a solid value option this week.

Aldrich Potgieter withdrew from the John Deere Classic after shooting a five-over 76 in the third round, though no reason was given. He's set to tee it up again this week at the Scottish Open, making his tournament debut. Success at the Renaissance Club relies on solid tee-to-green play, approach shots, and driving distance. Potgieter is the longest hitter on tour, ranking first in driving distance, second in strokes gained off the tee at plus-0.730 per round, and 68th from tee to green at plus-0.292. However, he struggles on approach, ranking 121st at minus-0.111, and sits in just the 27th percentile for proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 41% of approach shots here last year. At $7,200 on DraftKings, he'll likely be a popular play, but the 20-year-old will face a challenge beyond just overpowering the course.

Tom Kim has had a tough season so far with just one top-25 finish and seven missed cuts in 19 events. He's hoping to find a spark at the Scottish Open, where he has competed three times and posted results of T15, T6, and third over the past three years. Success at the Renaissance Club leans heavily on tee-to-green performance, approach play, and distance off the tee. Despite his struggles, Kim still ranks 73rd in strokes gained on approach at plus-0.138 per round, 84th from tee to green at plus-0.139, and 43rd around the green at plus-0.164. He's also 90th in driving distance and ranks in the 56th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a key range that made up over 41% of approach shots at this course last year. Betting on Kim or including him in your lineup remains risky until he shows more consistency, but a trip across the pond might be just what he needs to turn things around.

After a rough stretch of five straight finishes outside the top 45, Brian Harman bounced back with an eighth-place finish at the Travelers. He'll look to build on that momentum at the Scottish Open, where he's recorded back-to-back top-21 finishes. Success at the Renaissance Club depends heavily on tee-to-green performance, approach play, and distance off the tee. Statistically, Harman has been average, ranking 107th off the tee with 0.006 strokes per round, 110th on approach at minus-0.018, and 80th in putting at plus-0.080. He's also 157th in driving distance and ranks in the 74th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that made up over 41% of approach shots here last year. At $7,500 on DraftKings, Harman sits in the middle of the pack and projects as a boring yet reliable pick at the Scottish Open.

Luke Clanton has had a mixed start to his PGA Tour career, making five cuts, including two top-20 finishes, while missing four cuts in his first nine events. He'll try to find more consistency at the Scottish Open, where he's making his tournament debut. Success at the Renaissance Club leans heavily on tee-to-green performance, approach play, and distance off the tee, all of which fit Clanton's strengths. He's gaining 0.335 strokes off the tee, 0.568 strokes from tee to green, and 0.437 strokes on approach, though his short game remains a weakness with 0.204 strokes lost around the green and 0.188 strokes lost in putting. Still, he ranks in the 78th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that made up over 41% of approach shots at this course last year. With strong ball-striking and a course setup that plays to his advantage, Clanton stands out as a sneaky value at $7,100 on DraftKings.

Sam Burns continued his impressive run with a T17 at the Travelers Championship, marking his eighth straight top-30 finish, including seven results inside the top 19. He'll look to keep it rolling at the Scottish Open, where he's played three times and has two finishes inside the top 20. Burns leads the PGA Tour in putting, gaining 0.977 strokes per round, and also ranks 78th around the green (plus-0.047) and 52nd in driving distance, both of which tend to translate well at the Renaissance Club. His biggest issue this season has been approach play, where he's losing 0.158 strokes per round, though he still ranks in the 66th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards -- a range that made up over 41% of approach shots here last year. Burns is playing some of the best golf on tour right now, and at $9,000 on DraftKings, he's firmly in play again this week.

Nicolai Hojgaard did finish T-24 at the Rocket Classic. The Danish golfer enjoyed as solid result on the PGA Tour for the first time since a T-16 at the Cognizant Classic way back in March. Hojgaard does mix his time between the tour in Europe and the PGA Tour. He did enjoy one of his better efforts two years ago at The Renaissance Club. That T-6 drew some considerable notice. That may be why his Top 20 betting number has shortened to +250. Hojgaard can be a case in frustration when it comes to his driver. He ranks 162nd on tour in driving accuracy at 52.99%. This is in stark contrast to greens in regulation where he rolls in at 9th (70.59%). His DFS fortunes likely ride on that driver especially with the Scottish weather.

Harry Hall has not won in 2025. However, the English golfer does have six consecutive Top 25 finishes on the PGA Tour. The 27-year-old highlights a field where some younger golfers could make some noise at the Genesis Scottish Open. Currently, Hall is now +6000 via DraftKings to win the event. Digging a little deeper shows he is +210. This is nestled between J.J. Spaun (+200) and Ryan Fox (+225). With some of the top golfers looking ahead to next week, perhaps Hall has an even better chance. He has mentioned about atoning for a final round 78 at The Renaissance Club. Hall was lurking around the Top 10 before disaster struck. That was two years ago and Hall has improved a little since then.
