Joe Highsmith missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week and will now focus on preparing for The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, this week. This season, Highsmith has five top-25 finishes and one win while also missing the cut eight times in 16 starts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 43rd percentile for greens-in-regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because at last year's Memorial Tournament, 32% of approach shots came from this distance.

Max Greyserman was a few birdies away from contending the past couple of events. The golfer who grew up in New Jersey finished a solid T-33 even after a 74 at Sunday's PGA Championship. Greyserman will have to keep his drives a little straighter. He ranks 153rd in driving accuracy at 53.63%. Part of the reason his scoring average is 70.61 is his scrambling which is 159th at a mere 55.79%. He is 20th in birdies made per round at 4.25. The key for Greyserman really is keeping the ball on the fairway. That sets up the golfer whose putting average is 1.705 (9th). Getting back to birdies is vital for Greyserman.

Lucas Glover was close to a top-20 result when Sunday struck at the PGA Championship. The American golfer struggled to a 75, which dropped him to a T37. Since back-to-back top-10 results in March, Glover has endured a rough patch. Things tend to boil down to putting for Glover. He ranks 121st in strokes gained in putting. The 45-year-old does not hit the ball as far as he used to, either, averaging 290.9 yards a drive. It will be intriguing to see if Glover can find a little extra length in Fort Worth this week. Glover is plus-6,000 to win on DraftKings, which surprises some given the golf course, but he did finish T12 at the Charles Schwab in 2024.

Jhonattan Vegas has looked great in back-to-back weeks. The golfer from Venezuela finished T-5 last week at the PGA Championship behind a scintillating 64. He held on in what was a challenging weekend to finish 73-72. Plenty of golfers went backwards in the challenging conditions and pin placements. However, Vegas held firm enough. Combine that with the T-13 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and Vegas is now +350 to finish Top 20 on DraftKings. The putter gained a few strokes last Thursday and Friday at the PGA and if Vegas can keep drives on the fairway (55.41% - 136th), then contention is possible. Vegas is streaky so volatility is always there.

Erik van Rooyen has appeared in 14 tournaments in 2025. The South African golfer has made the cut seven times and missed seven as well. Now, van Rooyen does have a runner-up finish (CJ Cup Byron Nelson). He even finished T-9 at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches in March. Consistency is fleeting for van Rooyen. However, he is intriguing because he drives the ball well and typically somewhat straight. His average drive is 307.9 yards and his accuracy is 60.53%. Combine that with being 4th in approaches beyond 200 yards and the golfer could rebound. One concern is if he gets in trouble. Scrambling is a weak point at 177th (51.72%). Sand saves are also outside the Top 150. That is a big reason why betting even a Top 20 can be a risk.

Andrew Novak opened well at the PGA Championship. The American golfer started with a 70 and then imploded with a 80. After a four week run that saw him nearly win the Valero Texas Open and RBC Heritage plus that triumph in New Orleans, maybe it was bound to happen. Either way, Novak has four Top 10 results in 2025. The worry is how the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas sets up. Sadly, Novak has poor metrics when it comes to greens in regulation, driving accuracy, and approaches from greater than 200 yards. The worst is that greens in regulation which ranks 168th. Combine that with a driving accuracy of 55.98% (131st) and maybe that bounce back will only be modest.

Mac Meissner has not had the best 2025 season. The American golfer has only one Top 25 result in 14 events. Worse, he has missed five cuts and finished outside the Top 5 in his previous five tournaments. A big reason for his struggles is driving off the tee. Meissner ranks 168th in strokes gained at -0.565. The primary driving force is accuracy which is only 55.78% (133rd). Worse, on an almost 7.300 yard course, there are several areas where long shots are heading toward smaller greens. Meissner ranks 171st when it comes to greens in regulation (60.73%). This may be another week to fade Meissner in most formats.

Sunday at Quail Hollow was frustrating for J.T. Poston, who found himself in a tie for third through 54 holes. He rebounded from three early bogeys to creep back within striking distance with nine holes left, but couldn't mount a charge late and slipped back to a T5 finish with bogeys on 17 and 18. The struggle came with Poston's typically strong putter that gained +6.65 strokes through the first three rounds before losing -2.21 in the final round. Still, it was his best career major finish and his fourth high-quality finish in a row. He'll now set his sights on Colonial Country Club, where his accuracy off the tee (65.48%) should be very useful. If the strong approach play shown last week remains, the 31-year-old will have a good chance at keeping the run going.

J.J. Spaun has been in solid form this season, missing just one cut and recording six top-30 finishes in 13 starts. He'll look to carry that consistency into the Charles Schwab Challenge, where his course history leaves much to be desired. In five appearances, Spaun has made the cut just once with a T63 in 2023, and he has withdrawn twice (2022 and 2017). To reverse that trend, he'll need to lean on his accuracy and elite iron play. Spaun ranks 46th in driving accuracy and is fourth on tour in strokes gained on approach (plus-0.827 per round). His biggest weakness remains around the greens, where he ranks 130th, losing 0.125 strokes per round. On a positive note, he's in the 88th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months, a key range that made up 42.5% of approach shots here last year. Despite his poor course history, Spaun's recent form and strong ball-striking give him some upside at $8,400 on DraftKings.

With the talk of Grand Slams and historic moments, Jordan Spieth had none of it last week at Quail Hollow. The former Texas Longhorn frustratingly missed the cut on the number after firing rounds of 76-68. An opening round that poor is hard to overcome, but he nearly did by hitting 71.4% of fairways and gaining +3.17 strokes ball striking for the day. If that level of play shows up at Colonial Country Club this week, Spieth could be a strong bounce-back candidate at a layout that has been very fruitful to the 31-year-old throughout his career, winning in 2016. After a strong run of play in April, he will be looking to put the flop in Charlotte behind him.

Aaron Rai has quietly been one of the most consistent players on tour this year, making 11 of 13 cuts and recording seven top-25 finishes. He'll look to keep that form going at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he's made three appearances, finishing T32, T12, and 68th. Rai profiles extremely well for Colonial, a course that rewards accuracy and precision. He leads the tour in driving accuracy, ranks 20th in strokes gained on approach per round (plus-0.513), and sits in the 82nd percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months—a key range that accounted for 42.5% of approach shots here last year. With strong recent form, solid course history, and an ideal course fit, Rai is a strong play at $9,100 on DraftKings.

For the transcendence that Maverick McNealy has experienced in his game over the last 12 to 18 months, the one low spot remains his poor driving accuracy. That hasn't drastically affected his strokes-gained-off-the-tee metrics (plus-0.217). Still, his 107th ranking in driving accuracy (57.97%) will be more detrimental at a tight, tree-lined venue like Colonial Country Club. Everything else about his game sets up well here, ranking 34th in strokes gained on approach (plus-0.407) and 35th in par-four scoring average (3.99). As long as his big stick isn't too big of an issue, McNealy has the skillset to be a factor this week.

Keith Mitchell missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but prior to that, he had posted five straight top-20 finishes and will look to regain form at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He's played this event three times, with results of T37, a missed cut, and T64. Success at Colonial requires precision both off the tee and on approach. While Mitchell ranks just 105th in driving accuracy, his elite distance helps him rank fifth in strokes gained off the tee (plus-0.654 per round). He's also 61st on approach (plus-0.246) and ranks in the 47th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the last 12 months—a key range that accounted for 42.5% of approach shots here last year. His recent form is enough to intrigue fantasy managers, and at $9,000 on DraftKings, Mitchell could be a solid addition to DFS lineups.

Harry Hall had some rough weekends in Texas and Mexico. However, the English golfer has bounced back since with consecutive Top 20 results. That includes a T-19 at the PGA Championship. Hall ranks fourth on tour in strokes gained to putting at 0.784. Unfortunately, despite averaging 27.44 putts per round (leads the PGA Tour), Hall's driving accuracy ranks 120th at 56.95% and he only drives the ball 300.5 yards per swing. Approaches from proximity and approaching from 200+ yards are outside the Top 150. Ball striking is important at the Charles Schwab. The Par-70 course now measures 7,289 yards and is considered one of the toughest non-majors. Hall might not be as good a DFS choice as usual this weekend.
