Rickie Fowler is a mixed bag on any golf course. The American golfer can win a tournament one week and miss the but badly the next. At the Memorial Tournament, Fowler has truly been up-and-down over the last five editions. He has finished T-9 and T-11 in 2023 and 2021. However, Fowler missed the cut last year with a Friday 82 and in 2020 after an opening 81. Accuracy with irons, drivers, and approaches is king on the course that Jack Nicklaus built. Limiting mistakes is crucial for Fowler. With a dipping birdie average (3.72 - 101st), the flamboyant golfer could be one to fade even in a DFS format.

J.T. Poston has the potential to surprise a little at the Memorial Tournament. The American golfer has been amazingly consistent in 2025. He has made the cut 15 out of 16 times. Though he only has one Top 10, that was a T-5 at the PGA Championship. His form has been mostly consistent. Poston did hang tough on that Sunday in the last major. That bodes well on a course like Muirfield Village. Poston has also improved each year at the event. In 2024, he nearly finished inside the Top 20 (T-22). Again, being accurate is vital and the golfer was among the top quarter at the PGA Championship. At the least, the set up and form suggest upside once again.

After winning in Hilton Head and nearly doing it again in Pennsylvania, Justin Thomas was among the more surprising names to miss the cut at Quail Hollow a couple of weeks ago. It was where he won his first major in 2017, and somewhere he's continuously performed well over the years. The approach play took an aggressive plummet to -0.97 in Charlotte, but it has certainly been his strongest attribute throughout the season. J.T.'s history at Jack's place isn't nearly as likable, with only two top 10s in 10 career starts. The inaccuracy off the tee mixed with poor putting has been the most detrimental, however, with the work with the flat stick being much improved this year (currently averaging +0.430 in strokes gained putting), it will be interesting to see if that translates to a better finish this year.

Tom Hoge has proven to be able to almost contend anywhere and everywhere. However, the American golfer has faltered at the Memorial Tournament lately. Since 2020, Hoge has missed the cut three times and barely made the cut in 2023 and 2024. Worse, the sportsbooks seem to agree as Hoge has dropped to +15000 via DraftKings. Driving accuracy is normally 60.26% (70th) for Hoge but driving the ball 294.4 yards could be problematic on the 7,392 yard course. Hoge is also around tour average at 3.89 birdies per round which makes it difficult to attempt him in DFS formats. The one saving grace may be the weather for Hoge with temperatures expected to be mild and mostly pleasant.

Akshay Bhatia has the experience of doing well in these top-tier events. The American golfer finished T-3 at The Players Championship in March. Concern rises since then, however. Bhatia missed the cut at the PGA Championship but flirted with the Top 20 at the Charles Schwab last week. Maybe, that is why he is now +7000 to win on DraftKings. Last year was a brute of an event where Bhatia finished T-22 and at +4. 2023 saw him miss the cut. The question is which golfer do we see? He is one of the best golfers on tour when it comes to putting in 2025 (0.611 strokes gained - 9th). Driving accuracy overall has stayed just above 60% but Bhatia has teetered lower at tournaments like the PGA.

Adam Scott excels in tournaments like the Memorial. The Australian golfer hung tough at the PGA Championship on the way to a Top 20 result. Although, Scott has no Top 10 finishes this season, he is far from washed up at 44. Scott has made eight of 10 cuts and was a runner-up in this event six years ago. It does seem like older golfers are making comebacks of sorts. Some red numbers are still a concern like greens in regulation at 64.51% (112th) and 56.55% driving accuracy (120th). Scott can scramble well enough from the sand or the rough though. Accuracy can be erratic with Scott and that may be the difference between contending and hanging around.

There are seemingly two observations about the outlook for Shane Lowry this week at the Memorial Tournament. One is his meltdown at Quail Hollow, which was in response to an obscure situation involving his ball and another player's pitch mark. The other is the recollection of a final round, 85 in this event last year to finish nearly dead last after being inside the top 15 to start the day. Neither are good scenarios to have on the conscience, but chalking both up with his streaky and overall underwhelming performances here through the years are big enough reasons to be heavily cautious again this time around, despite the year he's having. However, ranking second this season in strokes gained tee to green (+1.439), eighth in strokes gained on approach (+0.802), and 18th in strokes gained around the green (+0.336), someone willing to eat the massive ownership levels certainly has stats on their side.

Since the Masters, Collin Morikawa has struggled to keep things steady over his last four starts. A leaky short game was beginning to rear its head in Georgia, but after averaging -0.216 in strokes gained around the green over his last five starts, it's clearly the most concerning part ahead of a difficult test at Jack's place. He wasn't sharp at the PGA Championship in the ball-striking department, but the asks at Muirfield are much different than the ones for Quail Hollow. While he's never won this particular event in five career starts despite two runner-up finishes, he did win the Workday Charity Open here in 2020 against a slightly weaker field than the one on property this week. While the concerns are still hanging around for the two-time major champion, he makes for an excellent pick at a course tailor-made for his style of play.
