Jason Day missed the cut at last month's PGA Championship and is now focusing on preparing for this week's U.S. Open, which will take place at Oakmont Country Club in Plum, Pennsylvania. So far this season, Day has four top-10 finishes and has missed the cut only once in 11 starts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 44th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is significant because the average fairway width at Oakmont Country Club is just 28 yards, making it challenging to hit fairways.

Ludvig Aberg finished tied for 13th at the RBC Canadian Open and is now focusing on preparing for this week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Plum, Pennsylvania. This season, Aberg has five top-25 finishes, one victory, and has missed the cut three times in 13 starts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 35th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough. This is noteworthy because the average fairway width at Oakmont Country Club is only 28 yards, making it challenging for golfers to hit the fairway off the tee.

Rico Hoey has been the definition of boom or bust in 2025. In 17 events played, he has missed seven cuts, has four top 25s, and one top 10 finish. He has only made one start in this week's RBC Canadian Open, where he missed the cut last year. This year, the event will shift to TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. This year's venue measures 7,400 yards and rewards distance off the tee and solid iron play. Hoey ranks first in total driving and 44th in strokes gained on approach (+0.317 strokes per round). His inconsistent play makes him a dark horse option at best with his $7,300 price tag on DraftKings.

Harry Hall has had a stellar season in 2025. In 16 events played, he's only missed three cuts, has seven top 25s, and three top 10s. In fact, he hasn't missed a cut since THE PLAYERS back in March. Hall's only two starts at this week's RBC Canadian Open have come in the last two years, where he finished T34 and T42. The event will be moving to TPC Toronto, which measures 7,400 yards and caters to players who hit it long off the tee and have exceptional iron play. He ranks 88th in driving distance (301.5 yards) and 105th in strokes gained on approach (-0.049 strokes gained per round). His consistent play shows he can compete at just about any venue and is worth taking a flyer on this week in DFS formats.

Beau Hossler has had a mediocre campaign thus far in 2025. He's missed only four cuts this season but hasn't finished better than T12 since his first start of the year at The American Express. He has only one start in his career at the RBC Canadian Open, and that was last year, where he finished T14. This season's edition will be held at TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The 7,400-yard layout rewards players who hit it long off the tee and precision iron play. Hossler ranks 65th in driving distance (304 yards) but has struggled on approach, ranking 150th in strokes gained (-0.390 strokes gained per round). His inconsistency makes him an unappealing play this week, even at his cheap $7,000 price tag on DraftKings.

Taylor Pendrith has played great golf in 2025. He has only missed four cuts in 15 starts, has notched six top 20 finishes, including four top 10s. His history at this week's RBC Canadian Open is average at best, with his top finish being T21 in 2024. However, the event is shifting to a new venue in 2025, TPC Toronto. The course measures 7,400 yards and rewards distance off the tee and precise iron play. Pendrith has excelled in both areas, ranking 35th in driving distance (307.4 yards) and 31st in strokes gained on approach (+0.421 strokes gained per round). His solid play as of late and a game that suits this week's venue make him a good option, even at his $9,100 price tag on DraftKings.

Ryan Fox has been playing some solid golf as of late. He won at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic a few weeks ago to qualify for the PGA Championship, where he was in contention for three days until shooting a final round 73. While Fox has a short history at the RBC Canadian Open with only one start, he finished T7 in last year's edition. This year, the tournament will be held at TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The course measures 7,400 yards and rewards distance off the tee and solid iron play, which Fox has excelled at this year. He ranks 56th in driving distance (304.5 yards) and 35th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.380 strokes gained per round). His game suits this course well, and his solid play makes him a strong pick this week. His very low price of $7,700 on DraftKings makes him even more enticing.

Mackenzie Hughes has played mostly solid golf this season. He has finished in the top 10 three times, including a runner-up at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic. However, he has missed three cuts in his last five starts. This week's RBC Canadian Open is an event where Hughes has thrived in his career. He has made eight career starts at the event and has finished T28 or better four times, including two top 10s—this year's event shifts to TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. With a 7,400-yard layout, this year's venue rewards distance off the tee and strong iron play. He has struggled in both areas this year, ranking 95th in driving distance (300.3 yards) and 117th in strokes gained on approach (-0.118 strokes per round). His success at this event makes him an enticing option, but the new venue may present a different challenge. It's best to avoid his hefty $8,900 price tag on DraftKings this week.

For the most part, Eric Cole has played solid golf throughout the 2025 season. Through 20 starts, he has missed only five cuts and been in the top 25 six times, including two top 10 finishes. Cole's history at the RBC Canadian Open is brief, with only two starts. However, he finished T6 in 2023 and missed the cut in 2024. This year, the event will be held at TPC Toronto. The course measures 7,400+ yards and rewards distance off the tee and solid iron play. His play off the tee has been below average at best, ranking 152nd in strokes gained off the tee (-0.329) and 114th in driving distance (297.9). On the other hand, his approach play has been solid, ranking 62nd on approach to green (+0.200). He's a boom or bust candidate this week at his expensive $8,100 price tag on DraftKings.

Rasmus Hojgaard has been steady this season, making nine cuts in 12 starts and collecting four top-25 finishes. He now heads to the RBC Canadian Open, where he missed the cut in his lone appearance back in 2022. This year's event moves to TPC Toronto, a 7,400-yard par 70 that should reward distance off the tee and strong long-iron play, both areas that suit Hojgaard's game. He ranks eighth in driving distance, 70th in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.143 per round), and 16th in proximity from over 200 yards, a range likely to be critical on this lengthy setup. His overall approach game, however, is a concern, as he ranks just 149th while losing 0.362 strokes per round. At $8,000 on DraftKings, Hojgaard offers solid upside, but fantasy managers should be aware of the volatility.

Quade Cummins has been relatively steady since earning permanent PGA Tour status, making nine cuts in 14 starts with eight top-40 finishes. He'll look to keep that consistency going at the RBC Canadian Open, held this year at TPC Toronto. The 7,400-yard par-70 layout should favor players who are long off the tee and effective with their long irons. Cummins ranks 72nd in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.139 per round), but just 112th in driving distance. His biggest concern lies in his approach play, where he ranks 124th overall (minus-0.136) and 174th in proximity from 200-plus yards—a range likely to be critical on this lengthy track. At $7,000 on DraftKings, Cummins' lack of distance and struggles with his long irons make him a tough sell for fantasy managers this week.

Matti Schmid has been the definition of boom-or-bust this season. Through 16 starts, he has missed nine cuts, but in each of the seven cuts he's made, he's finished inside the top 28. He now turns his attention to the RBC Canadian Open, where he's competed twice before, missing the cut both times. This year's event shifts to TPC Toronto, a 7,400-yard par 70 that should reward distance off the tee and strong long-iron play, areas that suit Schmid's game. He ranks 15th in driving distance, 98th in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.028 per round), and 36th on approach (plus-0.372). Over the last 12 months, he also sits in the 90th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards—a range likely to play a key role this week. At $7,500 on DraftKings, Schmid will need to make the cut to unlock his high-upside potential.

Jake Knapp has not taken many weeks off in 2025, starting in 16 events, making 11 cuts, and recording five top-25 finishes. He now turns to the RBC Canadian Open, being held at TPC Toronto for the first time. The course is a daunting test, measuring 7,400 yards as a par 70, and should reward distance off the tee and long-iron proficiency. Knapp is one of the longest hitters on tour, ranking 32nd in driving distance, but he's just 126th in strokes gained off the tee (minus-0.111 per round). He also ranks 67th on approach (plus-0.182) and sits in the 81st percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards over the last 12 months, a range that could prove critical on this layout. Knapp has missed back-to-back cuts, but his power gives him bounce-back potential. At $7,800 on DraftKings, he offers solid value, though he'll need to put his full game together to contend.

Through 14 events this season, Doug Ghim has made 10 cuts and posted three top-25 finishes. He'll look to keep this trend going at the RBC Canadian Open, where he's finished inside the top 20 twice in three starts (the third was a withdrawal due to illness). This year's tournament moves to TPC Toronto, a 7,400-yard par 70 that should reward strong off-the-tee play and long-iron precision. Ghim ranks 42nd in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.047 per round), 19th from tee to green (plus-0.860), and 20th on approach (plus-0.516). He's also in the 78th percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards over the past 12 months, a distance range that could prove crucial this week. At $7,300 on DraftKings, Ghim offers good value for fantasy managers.

Gary Woodland has delivered a mixed bag of results this season, with four missed cuts and five top-25 finishes across his first 13 starts. He'll look to find consistency at the RBC Canadian Open, held for the first time at TPC Toronto, a 7,400-yard par 70 that will likely reward distance off the tee and long-iron play. Woodland ranks 57th in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.213 per round), 50th on approach (plus-0.280), and eighth in driving distance. He's also 34th on tour in proximity on approaches from 200-plus yards, which should be a key range given the course length. At $7,700 on DraftKings, Woodland can be viewed as a solid value play this week.
