Akshay Bhatia missed his first cut of the year at last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational and will now shift his focus to preparing for this week's The PLAYERS Championship, which takes place at TPC Sawgrass. In seven tournaments this year, Bhatia has two top-10 finishes and one top-25 finish. His only previous appearance at The PLAYERS Championship was in 2024, where he missed the cut. It's worth noting that in last year's tournament, over 32% of approach shots came from distances of 100-150 yards. Over the past 12 months, Bhatia ranks in the 84th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from this distance in the fairway. He may go under the radar this week, but including Bhatia in DFS lineups does carry some risk.

This is significant, as over 32% of approach shots at last year's The PLAYERS Championship came from this distance. Given Rose's inconsistency this season, including him in DFS lineups this week may carry some risk.

Will Zalatoris finished T22 at last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, marking his second consecutive top-25 finish and fourth for the season. He has yet to miss the cut in any of the six tournaments he has played in this year and will aim to maintain that streak when he tees it up at TPC Sawgrass for this week's The PLAYERS Championship.

Over the past 12 months, Zalatoris ranks in the 67th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from 100-150 yards in the fairway. This is noteworthy because over 32% of approach shots at last year's The PLAYERS Championship came from this distance. Although Zalatoris has been in excellent form, his past results at this tournament make him a risky choice for DFS lineups this week.

Although he has played well at times this year, his inconsistent performance means that including him in DFS lineups this week carries some risk.

After a poor start to the season, it was good to see Sahith Theegala finish T17 at the Genesis Invitational a few weeks ago. He's made every cut over his six starts, but his last outing was the first time DFS players were actually happy to have him in their lineups. The putter seems like the lone bright spot that could be in a position to help him have consistent finishes. He's gained over four and five shots on the greens in two of his last three starts, but the rest of his game hasn't been as fruitful. His work with the driver has helped him tremendously over his three career appearances at Bay Hill, with an average of +0.683 in strokes gained off the tee. However, having lost strokes in that metric in three of his last four starts doesn't do anything to reinforce confidence there. Hopefully, his last outing was a sign of things to come, but it's still too early to tell.

For the most part, knowing which Robert MacIntyre will be on display each week is the toughest battle in knowing what to do with him in DFS. He's been feast or famine with the flat stick, though the latter is the more dominant trend, ranking 157th in strokes gained putting (-0.487) on the season. What makes him interesting this week is his dominance off the tee (+0.726 strokes gained average: ranked eighth on the season), the typical strength on approach, and his short game. With only one appearance at Bay Hill that resulted in a T36 in 2021, there is still some learning for the Scottish golfer, but there is value here with lower perceived ownership than the more popular players around him.

Just as much of last season went, 2025 is much of the same for Max Homa. The 34-year-old is coming to Bay Hill having missed his previous two cuts. His woes are pretty cut and dry, with ball striking being the biggest detriment to his game. Over his last four starts, Homa is averaging an abysmal -1.835 strokes gained on approach, which would rank second-to-last for the season. Luckily, he's managing to produce positive metrics in most other areas, but bleeding that many shots with the irons is impossible to overcome. The former CAL golfer has had a successful run at Bay Hill, having never finished outside the top 25 in five career starts. He desperately needs that trend to continue, but for DFS players, it's best to let other suckers take this bait.
